Description

The TRIAC power and speed controller operates according to the principle of full-wave phase

angle control. Thus, controlling alternating current loads such as fans, vacuum cleaners, dim-

mers, sewing machines and other household appliances in terms of power and speed is pos-

sible.

Only an external wiring with a potentiometer (not included in the delivery) is needed in order to

set the desired power or speed.

The adjustment range is from 0-100%. The connection is made with screw terminals.

Installation and connection

Please observe the chapter „Safety instructions“! If in doubt, leave the installation

and connection to a specialist.

• Install the module with the bore hole in a cooling n on a heat sink. The heat resistance of

the heat sink at max. load capacity is 1.1 K/W. Without a heat sink, the load capacity of the

module is limited to 200 W (ambient temperature max. 40 °C).

• The cooling n is volt free. This means, electrical insulation is not required (however, protec-

tion against accidental contact must be ensured).

• The power and speed controller requires a linear potentiometer with 470 kOhm. If the control

range is to be spread apart, an optional linear potentiometer with 820 kOhm can be used.

• The potentiometer to be used is powered by the mains voltage and must have an insulated

axis so that it can be touched (e.g., Conrad Item no. 445663).

• Connect the module to power supply and potentiometer as shown in the gure below.
