FEATURES
• Fires triacs or thyristors up to 440V
(50/60 Hz) supplies.
• MONO-LINK - Gate to Gate firing.
• High Isolation opto-coupled output.
• Status LED giving output level indication.
• Soft Start Function.
INTRODUCTION
This single phase or phase to phase firing module uses variable phase-angle control with adjustabe
signal matching and selectable soft-start. The power transformer is remote for increased reliability
and wide operational voltage capacity.
The unique firing system is ideal for use with inductive loads and requires minimal
wiring to the power devices. The module is fully enclosed for safety and eligibility in industrial
environments.
APPLICATIONS
Applicable to most AC resistive or inductive loads via a triac or thyristor, on single phase to neutral
or phase to phase supplies, within voltage limits. Also suitable for half-wave vibrator control.

AP02/4 COS UAL Conditions of sale
NOTE It is recommended that installation and maintenance of this equipment should be done with
reference to the current edition of the I.E.E. wiring regulations (BS7671) by suitably qualified/trained
personnel. The regulations contain important requirements regarding safety of electrical equipment.
(For International standards refer to I.E.C directive IEC 950).
CE MARKING
This product family carries a “CE marking”. These phase angle type controllers require a suitable remote
filter. For information see recommendation section and contact our sales desk. (See Declaration of
Conformity).
FUSING:
It is recommended to use semiconductor (fast acting) type fuses or circuit breakers (semiconductor-
MCB) for unit protection. See SRA Data sheet for further information.
