DESCRIPTION
The Viconics R850V series step controller is designed for
cost-effective, precise modulation of multi-stage control
applications. A common application is a multi-step electric
duct heater.
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 inter-stage delay
Adjustable Vernier ratio
Choice of pulsed or analog
Vernier output
Up to 16 stages
Choice of LIFO or FIFO
sequencing
Test button
MODELS AVAILABLE
The R850V is available in 1 model
R850V-8
8 stage unit
If more than 8 stages are required, the R850-V8 can be
used as a master unit with another R850V as a slave unit.
Adding another unit can bring the total step number up to
16.
INPUT SIGNAL
The R850V has four INPUT dip switches (S1 to S4) to select the
control signal input: They are compatible with industry-standard signals.

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