1. APPLICATION The RP1 power controller is destined to control the load power in function of the input control signal for following types of loads: resistive, wit a positive temperature coefficient of resistance, heaters made of alloys on the base of molybdenum (Mo), platinum (Pt), tantalum (Ta),...
4. INSTALLATION 4.1. Overall and assembly dimensions The RP1 power controller is destined to be mounted on a wall by means of holders. Power controller overall dimensions, spacing of assembly holes and the fixing way are presented on the fig. 1.

In case of mounting in a control cabinet, it is recommended to apply a forced air cycle. RP1 power controllers can be situated side by side preserving minimal spacing according to the fig. 2. Fig. 2. Intervals between power controllers...
One must carry out electrical connections by means of following leads: a) to LZ1 and LZ2 terminal strips, - leads with cross-section from 0.35 up to 2.5 mm b) to high-current terminals: RP1-1xxx version - leads with 6 mm cross-section RP1-2xxx version...

In case of using the current limitation potentiometer on the power controller frontal plate, one must short-circuit 5 V and Limit terminals, fig. 5. 4.4.4. Triggering stoppage One can carry out the triggering stoppage, short-circuiting 5 V and STOP termi- nals on the terminal strip.
4.4.6. Relay outputs Semiconductor relays of MOSFET type. a) Output PK1 Signalling of damaged fuse b) Output PK2 Signalling of an incorrect working state: - lack of supervision on the control - ERROR, - active signal of triggering stoppage - STOP, - lack of synchronisation, - fuse damage, - exceed of allowable radiator temperature.

4.5.2. Load connection in single-phase system a) Load supply: U = 230 V, U supply = 230 V load b) Load supply: U = 400 V, U supply = 230 V load Fig. 12. Connection diagram of load in single-phase system...
4.5.3. Load connection in three-phase system The power control is possible in the three-wire three-phase system using two power controllers. The presented way of control concerns the on-off control type in the zero-cross of the supplying voltage or the pulse control with the turned soft-start and current limitation off.
d) turn on the supply voltage of the load circuit and of the gate triggering system, according p. 4.5. e) set the current limitation*, according to p. 6.4. set the „Limit” potentiometer on maximum. Observing indication of the meter measuring the load current (at the maximal value of the input control signal), set the required current value decreasing the setting on the „Limit”...
Voltage supplying the load circuit Pulse input signal Current in the load circuit Fig. 14. Control of on-off type, runs of occurring signals (for resistive load). 6.2. Pulse control Pulse control consists on the change of the pulse-duty factor and the frequency of power Po delivered to the load in function of the analog control signal, at the same time the output current is turned on synchronously with the transition of the supply voltage across zero.

T - period of the supply voltage, - number of turned periods on, - number of periods off. The RP1 power controller has following kinds of pulse control: Quick cycle, in which for X=1/2 (X = 10, however f = 2.5 Hz...
6.3. Phase control At phase control, a continuous change of delivered power to the load occurs, it is realised by the change of the load current turn on angle in the function of the analog control signal. Runs of signals for this kind of control for a resistive load are presented on the fig.
In case of the pulse control, this time is equal to: i, max The function is not active in case of the on-off control type in the turn-on confi- guration at zero voltage. 6.6 Control of the initial triggering angle value During the power controller use for the rotational speed control of a single-phase motor (fan), one can set the current value Ir necessary for the motor start by me- ans of the „max”...
6.10. Signalling of maximal radiator temperature exceed The exceed of the 85°C radiator temperature causes the automatic triggering stoppage and display of signalling on the „Over Temp” diode, and the PK2 relay turn on, p. 4.4.6b. The restart of the power controller is possible after the radiator cooling below 60°C and the supply turn on to GTS again, p.
