Triac controller for proportional control
of electric heating
PULSER is a complete proportional controller for electric heating.
It has automatic voltage adjustment and can be used with either a
built-in sensor or an external sensor. PULSER pulses the whole load
On - Off. The ratio between On-time and Off-time is varied 0 - 100%
to suit the prevailing heat demand. The current is always switched at
zero phase angle to prevent RFI.
PULSER is only intended for control of electric heating: its con-
trol principle makes it unsuitable for control of motors or lighting.
PULSER cannot control 3-phase loads, as one phase is regulated.
Technical data

Control principle
PULSER pulses the full load On-Off. PULSER adjusts its mean power
output to the prevailing power demand by proportionally adjusting the ratio
between On-time and Off-time. The pulse period (= the sum of On-time
and Off-time) is fixed 60 seconds.
PULSER has zero phase-angle firing to eliminate RFI.
PULSER automatically adjusts its control mode to suit the control object
dynamics.
For rapid temperature changes (i. e. supply air control), PULSER will act
as a PI controller with a proportional band of 20K and a reset time of 6
minutes.
For slow temperature changes (i. e. room control), PULSER will act as a
P controller with a proportional band of 1.5K.
PULSER
Assembly
Remove the front (the locking screw is located behind the setpoint
knob) and mount PULSER vertically, so that the cooling flange is at its
top. Screws with a maximum head diameter of 5.5mm can be used.
If PULSER is to be used with the internal sensor, mount it approx.
5ft above floor level at a location with a representative temperature.
The air must be able to circulate freely around the PULSER, without
disturbances from doors, furniture, etc.
If PULSER is to be used with an external sensor it may be placed in
any location.
PULSER emits approx. 20W of heat which must be dissipated.
At full load, the maximum ambient temperature is 30°C.
Electrical installation
The installation, which should be proceeded by a fully isolating switch
with a contact gap of at least 3 mm, should be carried out by a quali-
fied technician and in accordance with applicable directives.
