Identification Chapter 1 IDENTIFICATION GENERAL PRESENTATION 7100S series solid state contactors are used to control the electrical power of single phase industrial loads. The load controlled may comprise low temperature coefficient resistive loads or short wave infrared (SWIR) elements. Current ratings vary from 16 A to 630 A (see coding), at voltages of 100 V to 690 V. 7100S series power thyristor units (rating of up to 100 A) comprise two channels, one controlled by thyristors and one direct internal channel.

Installation Chapter 2 installation SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION (MOUNTING AND WIRING) Danger! • 7100S solid state contactors must be installed and wired by qualified staff authorised to work on low voltage industrial electrical facilities. • Units must be installed in a fan-cooled cabinet, to ensure that condensation and pollution are excluded.

Installation Reference voltage connections (125 - 250 A) For ratings between 125 and 250 A the non-controlled phase is connected outside the unit. To make the reference voltage available for the electronic circuits, the power voltage must be wired to the unit. This external wiring uses terminal L2 on the ‘EXT’...
Operation Chapter 3 OPERATION FIRING MODES LOGIC SIGNALS (‘Logic’ mode) When logic signals (DC or AC voltages depending on the product code) are applied to the LDC or HAC inputs, the 7100S unit fires in ‘Logic’ mode (i.e. operation equivalent to solid state contactors).
Operation ATP ANALOGUE SIGNAL (‘Burst’ mode) When an analogue signal (4 - 20 mA) is applied to the ATP input (or Digital communication is used) the 7100S series unit operates in ‘Burst mode’. ‘Burst mode’ firing is a proportional cycle which delivers a series of complete half-cycles to the load.
Operation 7100S units with an ATP input use open loop control and thus do not compensate for supply variations. The power dissipated in the load is proportional to the analogue signal on the ATP input between 4% and 96% of the full range of the 4-20 mA signal. 100% Output 19.4 mA...
• The user is responsible for installing independent safety mechanisms which must be inspected regularly . Given the value of the equipment controlled by the 7100S, this is strongly recommended. Eurotherm can supply various types of suitable alarm detector. ALARM STRATEGY • ALARMS DETECTED The alarms below are optionally available on 7100S series units .
Operation GRF OPTION SERIOUS ALARMS With the Serious alarms option the following faults are monitored: • Total Load Failure, TLF • Thyristor Short Circuit, THSC • Thyristor over-temperature, T° (only for fan-cooled units with current rating of 250 A or higher). Important: The GRF option (detection of Serious alarms) is automatically included with the DLF option.
Operation DLF OPTION (Load failure diagnostic alarm) FUNCTIONS OF THE DLF OPTION The DLF option monitors and diagnoses Partial Load Failures (PLF) and serious faults (as for the GRF option). PLF fault detection is automatically adjusted using the ‘CHK/SET’ push button. This button can also be used to disable DLF alarm monitoring and temporarily prevent PLF faults from being signalled.
The 7100S may be operated in ‘Burst mode’ firing controlled by the following: - 4-20 mA analogue signal applied to the ATP input (TB = 0.3 s ± 20%; code C16) - Eurotherm i7000 or REMIO/TPO interfaces (LDC input) - the built-in ‘Digital communication’ option (COM input).
Operation AUTOMATIC DLF ALARM ADJUSTMENT Adjusting PLF detection involves calculating and storing the value of the reference impedance from the measured rms current and voltage values. This can be set using the ‘CHK/SET’ push button on the front panel. The setting should preferably be adjusted when the heating elements are at their nominal temperature.
Operation FUNCTIONS OF DLF ALARM PUSH BUTTON The push button on the front panel of the unit with the ‘DLF’ option is labelled ‘CHK / SET’ (‘Checking / Setting’). Pushing this push button as shown on the timing diagrams below sets and diagnoses the status of the PLF detection circuit.
Operation ALARM DIAGNOSTIC SUMMARY The table below summarises all status LED information needed to diagnose faults. OPTIONS With or without LEDs alarm option (front panel) T° (≥ 250 A) Orange Green HEAT Green Ready Firing Over- Thyristor Thyristor Total Partial DIAGNOSIS: No alarms temperature.
Operation ANALOGUE RETRANSMISSION (Option) AVAILABILITY With the ‘ A nalogue retransmission’ option (code RTR), 7100S units have an isolated output (terminals 0V1 and DC1) which transmits an analogue image of the rms load current. Important! Analogue retransmission is available with the RTR option provided the DLF option is fitted, though not if the integrated digital communication option is selected.

Commissioning EXTERNAL FUSES (up to 100 A) An external high speed fuse protects the thyristors in 7100S units with a current rating of 16 A to 100 A. The product code indicates whether a fuse is included in the unit ordered and the type of fuse. With the FUSE or MSFU (Micro Switch FUse) codes, a fuse and fuse holder assembly (corresponding to the current rating) is supplied with the product.
Commissioning INTERNAL FUSES (125 A to 250 A) 7100S units with ratings of 125 A or above are fitted with an internal thryistor protection fuse. The product code indicates whether the unit has an internal fuse and whether a fuse blown contact is fitted.
