UNIVERSAL PHASE ANGLE CONTROLLER FC11AL/2 C/W INTEGRAL POWER DEVICE X10260 INTRODUCTION This single phase firing module with integral 26A triac, uses variable phase angle control with adjustable signal matching and selectable soft-start. The power supply transformer is remote for increased reliability and wide operational voltage capabilities. The FC11AL/2 controller governs the amount of power supplied to the load, by controlling the AC supply. A ramp and pedestal input circuit, allowing variation of firing phase angle by DC signal, enables more power through to the load with increasing angle. APPLICATIONS Suitable for most AC resistive loads with current ratings up to 25A when fitted onto a suitable heatsink (see cooling requirements). Also some inductive loads such as transformers and full wave vibrators. FEATURES * Integral 26A triac. * Wide range of control signal inputs (voltage or current). * Selectable soft-start signal delay function, (Terminals 6 & 7) * Status LED giving output level indication. * Consumes under 2 Watts.

On initial `switch on' some loads may need an increased Factor of Safety (F of S) for unit and/or device protection. (See SRA Datasheet for further information). CE MARKING This product family carries a "CE marking" . These phase angle controllers need a suitable remote filter. For information see recommendation section and contact our sales desk.
