Remarks concerning the operator safety: 1. General The RP7 power controller is destined to co-operate with other devices. Non-authorized removal of the required housing, inappropriate use, incorrect installation or operation creates the risk of injury to personnel or damage to equipment. For more detailed information please study the user’s manual.
4. DESCRIPTION OF THE DESIGN AND OPERATION The RP7 power controller is destined to be mounted on a wall or on a rail (E-06292, DIN EN 50 022-35) by means of a special catch.

- lighting green diode (1), signalling the exceeding over 70% of the set power, - lighting red diode (2), signalling the fuse damage. The RP7 power controller has a bidirectional thyristor switch, which is a link controlled by the gate triggering system. It also includes a fuse destined to protect semiconductor elements, an RC two-terminal network and a varistor, protecting against commutation or connection overvoltages.
Triggering delay of „Soft-start” type The „soft-start” type enables the change of the connection angle from to 0 rad in the time ca 1.5 s, after the supply connection (switch W, fig. 3). Detection and signalling of the load circuit current The 70% exceeding of the set current limitation value is signalled by the lighting of the green diode - 1 ...

8. MAINTENANCE AND GUARANTEE The RP7 power controller does not require any special periodical maintenance. In case of a fuse damage, the red diode (2) lights. To replace the fuse, one must: - disconnect the load circuit supply, - disconnect electrical connections from the terminal strip, - remove the power controller protection cover, - replace the fuse.
