Additional Specifications: Phase Angle; Phase Angle Current Limit; & Single Cycle VTB
Operation
Burst firing (zero-cross) control, single-cycle variable
time base, Type S single-phase and 3-phase. Unit is
not on for more than one full cycle under 50% power
and not off for more than one full cycle above 50%
power.
Phase angle control, single-phase only
Input Command Signal
0 to 20mA, 4 to 20mA, 12 to 20mA, Î (dc), 0 to 5VÎ, 1
to 5VÎ, and 0 to 10VÎ
Input impedance 250ž for 4 to 20mA, 5kž for linear
voltage input
Output Voltage
100 to 120VÅ (ac), 200 to 208VÅ, 230 to 240VÅ,
277VÅ, 400VÅ, 480VÅ, 600VÅ, -15%/+10%, 50 or
60 Hz independent +/-5% (Input Control Signal Type
L, P and S)
Phase Angle Accuracy
Output on time is directly proportional to the command
signal. Output on time is accurate to within 5% of the
command signal input at 25 degrees C ambient. See
chart below for command signal input to output power
transfer function. Temperature stability at ambient
temperature is less than 0.25%/degrees C.
Single Cycle VTB Accuracy
Output power is directly proportional to the command
signal. Output power is accurate to within 5% of the
command signal input at 25 degrees C ambient.
Temperature stability is less than 0.25%/degrees C
ambient temperature change.
Soft Start
(Phase Angle Input Control Signal Type P and L)
Typically:
5 seconds soft start on power up
Soft start on thermostat overtemperature
Soft start on 1/2 cycle drop out detection
1 second soft switching on set point change
Options
Manual Control Kit (1kž potentiometer) 08-5362
Alarm option is not available on phase angle type P or
type L.
Resolution
Better than 0.1% of input span with respect to output
change.
Control Mode, Zero-Cross
Input Control Signal Type C: VÎ (dc) input contactor.
To increase service life, the cycle time should be less
than 3 seconds.
Input Control Signal Type K: VÅ (ac) input contactor.
To increase service life, the cycle time should be less
than 3 seconds.
Input Control Signal Type F: 4 to 20mAÎ (dc)
proportional variable time base control.
Input Command Signal
AC contactor
24VÅ ±10%, 120VÅ +10%/-25%, 240VÅ (ac)
+10%/-25% @ 25mA maximum per controlled leg
Do not use the DIN-A-MITE Vac-input models with a
temperature controller that includes an RC snubber
circuit across its output. Remove the RC snubber
circuit before placing the DIN-A-MITE into service.
DC Contactor
4.5 to 32VÎ (dc): maximum current @ 4.5VÎ
(dc) is 6mA per leg. Add 2mA per LED used to the
total current.
Loop powered linear current
4 to 20mAÎ (dc): loop-powered. Input Type
F0 option only. (Requires current source with 6.2VÎ
(dc) available. No more than three inputs connected
in series.)
Linearity (Input Control Signal Type F)
Full on point 19.5 to 19.9mAÎ (dc), maximum voltage
of 6.2V peak.
±5% input to output power accuracy, 0% to 100% of
span (4.3 to 19.7mA or 12.3 to 19.7mA).
Temperature stability is less than 0.15%/°C change.
