FORWARD Thank you very much for having purchased our “Thyristor Type Power Adjusting Unit UF3 Series”. The Thyristor Type Power Adjusting Unit has been widely used in various fields for its operability, reliability, or other superiorities. Our company consistently developed and manufactured the power adjusting unit starting from Thyristor ele- ments, and obtained user’s enjoyment and satisfaction on our various products.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before installing, operating, maintaining, and inspecting this unit, be sure to read the present INSTRUCTION MANUAL and all other documents attached therein carefully in order for you to operate this unit properly. You and others concerned are requested to completely master all the know-how, safety instructions and precau- tions on the unit before use.
Limitations for working environments CAUTION Absolutely do not operate nor store this unit in the following environments. Doing so may cause any failure in, damage to, or deterioration of the unit, resulting in fire. In hot, cold, or damp areas which are not in compliance with the requirements for ambient environ- ments specified in relevant catalogs and this INSTRUCTION MANUAL In area where exposed to direct sunlight In area where subjected to vibration or shock...
Precautions in wiring CAUTION Ask a specialist contractor for wiring work. Imperfect wiring work may cause electric shock or fire. Precautions to be taken by a specialist contractor DANGER Qualified specialists are required to turn off all the input power from a switch on the distribution panel and to make sure that power is off before connecting the input and output cables.
Precautions in maintenance and inspection PROHIBITED Persons other than approved persons (specialists) must not maintain, inspect, or repair this unit. Doing so may cause electric shock, injury, or fire. CAUTION To repair this unit or to replace defective parts, please contact the distributor of your purchase or any service company.
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE Confirmation of the product Check the following items before installation. Check if correct products and optional items are provided as specified in the order. [Main body] Included items Q’ty UF3 unit body 1 unit Screws, nuts, and others for the connection of output wires a: Screw (25A-250A only) 6 pcs b: Bolt (350A and 450A only)
CONNECTION DIAGRAM OF UNIT V E 1 VH 2 V L 2 V F 2 V E 3 For wiring of the external input terminals, refer to the Connection Diagram for Each Setting System. Use a transformer to obtain a 200/220V of the control power when other value of the power supply voltage is supplied for the main circuit.
EXTERNAL CONNECTION DIAGRAM OF UNIT Connection diagram for each setting system Connection diagrams for each setting system are shown below. Short circuit between GT and PH terminals during operation. Open-circuiting between them during operation forcibly stops output. Short-circuiting between ST and PH terminals starts output, and open-circuiting between them stops output.
How to connect unit control cables Use an easy lock to bind up the control cables (for control power supply, major failure output, minor fail- ure output, external input and output terminals, and conversion board) of the unit. Fix the easy locks on the unit. Bind the control cables with the easy locks.
HOW TO SET UNIT CAUTION Perform a setting of the unit with a good attention in that live parts are exposed when opening a cover of the unit. Before setting, turn off power. The standard initial setting of this unit is as listed below. If the unit is used under other conditions, open a cover on the lower part of the unit to change the setting of dip switch S1 located on the printed circuit.
Control system (S1-1) [Function] This makes a selection of phase control or cycle control. The phase control is to control the phase of half-cycle by means of its effective value. The cycle control is to control the number of turning ON in one cycle during a certain con- stant period by means of its effective value.
FUNCTION CHARACTERISTICS The standard unit has the linear characteristic between control signals and output level. It can be changed to have the following characteristics. Output voltage 100.0% 90.0% 80.0% 70.0% 60.0% 50.0% 40.0% 30.0% 20.0% 10.0% 0.0% 0.0% 20.0% 40.0% 60.0% 80.0% 100.0%...
DETECTION OF ABNORMALITY Detection and indication of abnormality CAUTION In the event of any abnormality, check the Unit Abnormality lamp, stop operation of the unit, and then turn off power. When an abnormality detection circuit functions, an abnormality indication lamps lights up or flickers on the right-hand side of the terminal block inside the front panel of the unit.

This detects fuse disconnection when a fuse built in the unit is disconnected. On detection of fuse dis- connection, an “F” indication lights up and operation stops. To resume operation, turn off the control power supply. The optional function is provided to detect heater disconnection. On detection of heater disconnection, an “HET”...
Self-diagnostic function This function is provided somewhat differently depending on the combination with a conversion board (optional). Without conversion With conversion Operating status after board board detection of abnormality In running In stopping In running In stopping Thyristor open Available Operation stops.
External warning circuit The abnormality detection circuit, when activates, causes an external warning relay in the unit to acti- vate. Major and minor failure relays are provided as the external warning relay. Major failure relay The abnormalities described below, when detected, forcibly stops operation and at the same time causes a major failure relay in the unit to activate.
OTHERS Precautions in use Use cables with sufficient capacity to the rated current of the unit, for wiring of the main circuit. For wiring of the main circuit, connect a R, S, T terminal to the power supply side, and an U, V, W terminal to the load side.
Maintenance and inspection It is noted that dust, moisture, overheating, vibration, and others may degrade performance or cause any failure of the unit. Securely turn off the power for main and control circuits when conducting maintenance and inspec- tion. Keep in mind that any voltage is applied to the circuit even after the start/stop switch is set to stop.
OPTION Display panel (Model UF-DP) Functions Using a display panel provides the following functions. Read the “INSTRUCTION MANUAL for Display Panel” for details. Can display output current, voltage, and The functional feature allows the selec- power for checking. tion of seven types of input/output char- acteristics in addition to linear type.
