Fuser Ac Power Control - Samsung SCX-4200 Series Service Manual

System Overview

3.2.7 FUSER AC POWER CONTROL

Fuser(HEAT LAMP) gets heat from AC power. The AV power controls the switch with the Triac, a semiconductor
switch. The 'ON/OFF control' is operated when the gate of the Triac is turned on/off by Phototriac (insulting part).
In other words, the AC control part is passive circuit, so it turns the heater on/off with taking signal from engine
control part.
When the 'HEATER ON' signal is turned on at Engine, The LED of PC102 (Photo Triac) takes the voltage and flash-
es. From the flashing light, the Triac part (light receiving part) takes the voltage, and the voltage is supplied to the
gate of Triac and flows into the Triac. As a result, the AC current flows in the heat lamp, and heat is occurred.
On the other hand, when the signal is off, the PC102 is off, the voltage is cut off at the gate of Triac, the Triac
becomes off, and then the heat lamp is turned off.
