F311 Series Calibration Procedure
In this article we discuss the calibration procedure for F311 Series Single Phase
Thyristor (SCR) Controllers.
Please refer to the
F311 installation and commissioning manual
connection instructions. Or for Engineering Drawings see the following
Thyristor Wiring Diagrams - New
Control Wiring Diagrams - New
Controller Identification
F311 Controllers are fitted with a single PCB marked F321. There should be a silver
sticker on the PCB with a serial number in the format of YY-MM-Serial #
Controller Options Identification
There are various options available for this controller which the most common are listed
and indicated by the following nomenclature
(A)
- A.C. Voltage Regulation
(C)
- Current Limit and Trip
(CC)
- Voltage Limit and current Trip. Current Source (A.C. Current Control)
(CCE)
- Voltage Limit and current Trip. Current Source (D.C. Current Control)
(CE)
- Current Limit and Trip (D.C.)
(F)
- High Speed Fuses
(FW)
- Four Wire Load
(MI)
- Meter Output of Average Current (1mA for moving Coil Ammeter)
(MP)
- Meter Output of Average Power (1mA for moving Coil Ammeter)
(MV)
- Meter Output of Average Power (1mA for moving Coil Ammeter)
(PH)
- Phase Loss Output
(PW)
- Power Limit
(T)
- Thermal Overload Protection
For detailed descriptions please refer the
Various "Specials" (SP) versions exist with customised functions and in many cases very
minor changes to suit specify customer applications. See here for detailed of most SP
versions which have been created to date.

  • Page 1 Fastron - Oztherm Power Controller F311 Series Calibration Procedure In this article we discuss the calibration procedure for F311 Series Single Phase Thyristor (SCR) Controllers. Please refer to the F311 installation and commissioning manual for detailed wiring connection instructions. Or for Engineering Drawings see the following Thyristor Wiring Diagrams - New ...
  • Page 2 Note: Before beginning please ensure you have at least 200W load connected, can be incandescent light bulbs, or preferably the heating/welding element you intend to use. This ensures that you will have enough load to sink the output. Otherwise it will not be possible to calibrate the controller.
  • Page 3 2.A Gain Adjustment Connect a 4-20mA signal to terminals 0V (0 volt reference) and I (4-20mA signal input). Apply the maximum control signal 10V, 5V, 20mA, or 10K POT position. 2.B Maximum Control Input 1. Adjust the GAIN Potentiometer(POT) on the PCB until the maximum current is output to the load.
  • Page 4 5. Power Limit (PW Option) 1. Set the LIM potentiometer (POT) fully clockwise along with the Trip POT. 2. Set the FBG POT to approximately half way. 3. Connect a current clamp meter to the load. If a voltage connection is available connect the voltage terminals to the load.
  • Page 5 to Cathode for short circuits or low impedance. See our Diode SCR Testing Blog for the complete test procedure. Note: Bias Adjustment can be adjusted from -20% to +20% 7.B Minimum Control Input 1. Input the minimum Control Signal. I.e 0V, 4mA, or 10K POT to 0 position. depending on the input required.
