Triac controller for proportional control of
electric heating
TTC40FX is a proportional, 3-phase electric heating controller with
automatic voltage adjustment. The controller operates through step-
less, time-proportional control, where the relationship between the
on-time and off-time is based on the current heat demand.
The controller can control both symmetrical Y-connected 3-phase
heaters and symmetrical or asymmetrical Delta-connected heaters.
TTC40FX is only intended for control of electric heating. The control
principle makes it unsuitable for control of motors or lighting.
The controller is intended for DIN-rail mounting.
Technical data
Supply voltage 3-phase, 210...255 / 380...415 V AC 3-phase,
50...60 Hz with automatic voltage adaptation.
Max. current: 40 A/phase.
Max. load 5300 W/phase at 230 V line voltage (40 A)
9200 W/phase at 400 V line voltage (40 A)
Min. load 530 W/phase at 230 V line voltage (4 A)
920 W/phase at 400 V line voltage (4 A)
Protection class IP20
Ambient temp. 0...40°C, non-condensing
Installation
Mount TTC40FX on a DIN-rail in a cabinet or other casing.
Mount the controller vertically with the text right side up.
NOTE: At full power, TTC40FX will emit approx. 70 W of
excess heat which must be properly dissipated!
Wiring
Connect the supply voltage to the terminals L1in, L2in and L3in.

NOTE: The controller must be grounded and the supply
voltage must be interlocked via a high temperature limit switch!
Load
Use terminals L1out, L2out and L3out.
Resistive 3-phase heater without neutral connection.
Control signal (figure 2)
Use terminals 8 and 9.
Terminal 8 = Signal neutral.
Terminal 9 = 0...10 V DC.
0 V input will give 0 % output and 10 V input will give 100 % output.

Control principle
• TTC40FX pulses the entire load On-Off.
• The controller will adjust the mean power output to the current
power demand by proportionally adjusting the On-time and Off-
time ratio.
• The pulse period (= the total sum of the On-time and Off-time) is
settable 6...60 seconds by using the potentiometer.

• TTC40FX uses zero phase-angle firing to eliminate radio fre-
quency interference.
Start-up and fault finding
1. Begin by switching off the supply voltage. Next, ensure that all
wiring has been performed correctly.
2. Measure the resistance between terminals L1out - L2out,
L1out - L3out and L2out -L3out:
At 230 V line voltage: 6.4 Ω <R <64 Ω.
At 400 V line voltage: 11.5 Ω <R <115 Ω.
3. Switch on the supply voltage and set the control signal to 10 V
DC. The LED should be continuously on. Set the control signal
to 0 V DC. The LED should be continuously off.
4. At an intermediate position the pulsing of the LED will perfectly
coincide with the controller pulsing current to the heater. The
pulse cycle time is 6...60 seconds depending on the settings of
the CT potentiometer. Use a clamp-on multimeter to ensure cur-
rent is passing to the heater when the LED is lit.

NOTE: Do not leave the input unconnected, since an open
circuit will not give 0 % output, but approx. 50 %. To ensure
a 0 % output with no control signal connected, the input
should be short-circuited.
Pulse period. 6...60 seconds. The sum of one On-period
and one Off-period.
