Analog 0 to 10 Vdc vernier stage
8 step models
Up to 16 stage total with a slave unit
Test button
DESCRIPTION
The Viconics R851B series step controller is designed for cost
effective, precise modulation of multi-stage control application. A
common application is a multi-step electric boiler.
An integrated vernier control output will give a precise and full
modulation of the load from 0 to 100% of the total capacity.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Microcomputer-based design
Adjustable step-up and step-
down time delay
Adjustable Vernier ratio
0-10 Vdc analog Vernier
output
Up to 16 stages
Progressive or linear
sequencing
Test button
MODELS AVAILABLE
The R851B is available in 1 model
R851B-8
8 stage unit
If more than 8 stages are required, the R851B-8 can be used as a
master unit with another R851B as a slave unit. Adding another unit
can bring the total step number up to 16.
INPUT SIGNAL
The R851B has four INPUT dip switch (S1 to S4) to select the control signal input: They are compatible with industry standard signals.
DIP SWITCH ADJUSTMENTS & WIRING CONTROL INPUT
Input Signal Switch
0 to 10 Vdc control signal ( 2 to 10 Vdc control range )
4 to 20 mA control signal
If a slave unit is used, wire the control signal input to the master unit only

OVERRIDE TEST BUTTON
The override test button can be used to by-pass the interstage delay and
bring on all stage at one time. This simplifies the verification of configured
maximum number of stage. A status led per step will come on for each of
the configured stage.

  • Page 4 Specifications and equipment are subject to change without prior notice. All R851B series controls are for use only as operating controls. Whenever a control failure could lead to personal injury and/or loss of property, it becomes the responsibility of the user to add safety devices and/or alarm system to protect against such catastrophic failures.
  • Page 5 VERNIER STAGE SELECTION AND WIRING The Viconics R851B series step controller has an integrated vernier control output. This output will give a precise and full modulation of the load from 0 to 100% of the total capacity of the unit. If a master slave application is used, always connect the vernier output of the master unit.
  • Page 6 When all selected stage are on, they will stay on for approximately 30 seconds before shutting down. Powering up the R851B controller while holding down the test button will by-pass the interstage delay for 10 minutes. During that period, the unit will respond to a changing signal input very rapidly. Also hold down slave test button on start-up if a slave unit is used.
