** If you will be using temperature/process controller, specify its output; e.g., 4-20 mA, 0-10 Vdc, 2-10 Vdc, etc. with your order. NOTE: The SHZF2/SHZF3should be tested or operated with an adequate load since an open output will have line voltage at the load connections. Ametek HDR Power Systems Rev 2...

3.1. Refer to Table 1.2 for fan power requirements by model. The SHZF2/SHZF3 terminals available for the 120 Vac fan connections are shown Figure 3.1 and in the schematic at the rear of this manual. Rev 2 Ametek HDR Power Systems...
Command Signals. Zero based Command Signals may have a small amount of non-linearity (input to output) at the low end. This should not be a problem on closed loop systems. Ametek HDR Power Systems Rev 2...
1. Open the SCR power controller, and locate transformer T1. The primary side of T1 transformer will contain two wires (one black, the other white and black). Refer to Figure 3.3. Rev 2 Ametek HDR Power Systems...
60 - 225 A Phase 1 CT connects to terminals 51 and 52; Phase 2 CT connects to terminals 53 and 54, and Phase 3 CT connects to terminals 55 and 56. Reference schematic in Appendix. Ametek HDR Power Systems Rev 2...
The SHZF2/SHZF3 is calibrated at the Factory for the specified input type and normally does NOT need adjustment. However, should a setup be required use the following methods. Refer to chapter 3.5 for the Command signal input configuration. Rev 2 Ametek HDR Power Systems...
Adjust the ZERO control CW until the output just turns on, then turn the ZERO control CCW just to the point where the output voltage reading is zero. Ametek HDR Power Systems Rev 2...
Note that the full CW position of the potentiometer is the full-power-output position. Figure 4.4 Auto/Man Control with Controller and Remote Potentiometer Place the AUTO/MAN switch to AUTO and calibrate the system as described in steps 4.3b through 4.3g. Rev 2 Ametek HDR Power Systems...
Calibrate the system by performing the steps in 4.3. Note that zero power demand is accomplished by closing the contacts with the controller, and maximum power demand is present when the contacts are open. Ametek HDR Power Systems Rev 2...
LED indicates the alarm condition. Each LED is labeled on the board. The relay output is on terminals 58 (N.O.), 59 (Common) and 60 (N.C.) as shown in Figure 4.7. The relay is energized on alarm. Rev 2 Ametek HDR Power Systems...

Ametek HDR Power Systems emphasizes customer satisfaction by maintaining a rapid-response and cooperative customer-service. If operational difficulties occur, Ametek HDR Power Systems will provide replacement parts or units quickly, courteously and efficiently. If servicing problems arise that are not within the scope of the following troubleshooting guide, service is readily available, as detailed in Chapter 7.
If it is above 122 ºF (50 ºC), steps should be taken to provide more cooling, or the SHZF2/SHZF3 should be moved to a cooler location, or call the Ametek HDR Power Systems service department. Excessive Vibration. A significant degree of pitched or unpitched vibration can cause numerous problems.
Install a good fuse in the circuit, and apply power to the SHZF2/SHZF3. If the output is fully controllable using the manual control, then resume normal operation. If the power output is still zero, contact Ametek HDR Power Systems service.
