POWER CONTROL 110-240V 4000VA for motors, heaters and bulbs

MANUAL | INSTALLATION WARNINGS

This device allows you to control the power supplied to light bulbs (filament or halogen), motor speed (drills, fans ... etc), electric heaters by means of a knob potentiometer provided.

The maximum load is 4000VA continuous on 230V AC with the device installed on the heatsink not supplied. The device is ideal for resistive and inductive loads.

The knob potentiometer allows direct control by knob of the power from 0% to 100%.

Universal power supply from 110V AC to 240V AC.

The device, excluding the potentiometer, is installed in a plastic container with an aluminum rear part that can be installed on a heat sink or metal casing.

For those who wish, it is possible to integrate the device with external devices capable of allowing power control via analog voltages or PWM modulations from external electronic circuits instead of the manual potentiometer supplied. For more information you can contact us.

You can use this device with some optional accessories to be able to control the power of 230V loads such as lamps and motors directly from electronic systems or even through embedded systems or PCs through a home automation system on RS485 BUS.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS

Depending on the load the module heats up. Heat is dissipated by the aluminum plate at the bottom of the module. Under certain circumstances it must be mounted on a cooling surface according to the installation instructions. It is important that the module is fixed with 4 M3 screws (or 2.9mm metal screws) on the cooling surface. This can be the back wall of a metal enclosure. The aluminum plate on the bottom of the module must not bend, do not use larger screws, and do not drill larger holes. The screw heads must rest on the module plate, instead of the plastic edge of the module! During assembly, the module must not be curled up (if the ground is not flat). The reason: inside the aluminum base of the module the thin insulation layer is directly soldered on the SMD electronic components. Make sure that the maximum expected temperature (as specified in the module description) is not exceeded. If not, apply a larger cooling plate.
