Mount Dismount 4 1 3 2 1 1. Push the unit in and down to catch the rail hook on top of the rail. 1. Press down on the release tab while rotating the unit up and away from the rail. 2. Rotate the bottom of the unit in toward the rail. 3. The rail clasp will audibly “snap” into place. If the DIN-A-MITE does not snap into place, check to see if the rail is bent. 4. Mount the cooling fins vertically.

Ungrounded Delta or Wye Load 3-phase, 2-leg DIN-A-MITE Non-latching Alarm Option (models DC_ _ - _ _ S _ - H _ _ _ ) Open Heater and Shorted SCR Alarm The shorted SCR detector compares the input command signal and actual load current. If load current is present without an input signal then the shorted SCR alarm will energize a triac (on board the DIN-A-MITE) output. An open-heater or partial open-heater state is detected when a command signal is present and a reduced or no output current is detected.
Declaration of Conformity DIN-A-MITE® “C” Power Controller WATLOW an ISO 9001approved facility since 1996. 1241 Bundy Blvd. Winona, MN 55987 USA Declares that the following product: DIN-A-MITE ® “C” Power Control DC(1, 2, 3, 8 or 9)(0, 1, 2, 3 or T) – (02, 12, 20, 24, 27, 40, 48 or 60) (CX, K1, K2, K3, F X, SX) – (0, H or S)(followed by any 3 numbers or letters.
! Declaration of Conformity WARNING: Tank filters may suppress desirable communications carried on power lines in the 150 to 250 KHz region. The filters may suppress carrier current such as that used for infant monitors and medical alert systems. Verify that suppressed carrier current or other desirable communications on power lines creates no hazard to people or property. Failure to observe this warning could result in damage to property, and or injury to death for personnel.
Required External EMI Filters for DIN-A-MITE with More than 6A Loads çWARNING: An external EMI filter must be used in conjunction with the DIN-A-MITE for loads in excess of six amperes (6A) at 150 to 250 kHz. Without a filter applied, the DIN-A-MITE does not comply with the conducted emissions standard for loads above 6A at 150 to 250 KHz. Watlow has verified that two types of filters will suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) created by the DIN-AMITE power controller to within the CE requirements.
Warranty The Watlow DIN-A-MITE is warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for 36 months after delivery to the first purchaser for use, providing that the units have not been misapplied. Since Watlow has no control over their use, and sometimes misuse, we cannot guarantee against failure.
