SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

We give the following suggested practices to ensure safe and reliable
installation and success.

If you are uncertain as to the meaning of these Precaution statements or
are otherwise uncertain as to the limits of safe application, consult your
dealer for technical advice before proceeding.

DANGERS: Always provide ancillary protection device such as a

fuse or circuit breaker to the electrical load being con­trolled. It is possible, for example, that the controller may
be inadvertently programmed to deliver “100%” Power
(about 11 amperes) where only “20%” (about 2 amperes)
would represent a safe continuous rating. In this exam­ple, the application of excess power to a heating mantle
could result in excess temperatures which could result
in an unsafe condition due to fire hazard, an unexpected
or premature chemical reaction, or a whole host of other
problems.

Avoid applications where spillage, soaking, immersing,
or excess liquid come in contact with the controller and
its power outlet socket.

WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts in this solid-state

controller. If repairs are required, contact your dealer.

CAUTIONS: Avoid any temperature or electrical environment outside

of the recommended ranges given in this manual.
If temperature control is desired, but cannot be safely

obtained by manual techniques, we recommend the use
of a “fail-safe” controller with a feedback temperature
sensor such as the COLE-PARMER Series 2155/2186
Temperature Controllers.

This controller is not intended to be used with
Fluorescent lighting or with other electrical arc dis­charge devices.

INTRODUCTION

This Power Controller is intended to be used in a variety of experimental,
process laboratory and engineering applications involving the controlled
delivery of significant amounts of AC (Alternating Current) power to heat­ing mantles, heating tapes, various controllable light sources, AC induction
and “Universal” motors. When properly used and applied, this controller will
perform dependably for thousands of hours.

GENERAL

All solid-state circuitry means reliable, trouble-free operation—no wear­prone relays or heat-generating power resistors. Handsome, compact
design and easy to operate. Rubber feet permits use as a portable con­troller. Range of control is 2 to 98% of input voltage. Its output is protected
through a circuit breaker. The unit is motor-rated and designed to comply
with UL Standard For Safety 244A for Solid-State Controls for Appliances.

APPLICATION DATA

Precise voltage and power control permits use of fixed speed AC induction
motors in variable speed applications. This controller meets rigid standards
for regulating power to all kinds of laboratory and industrial devices, this
includes universal motors up to 1/2 hp.

The unit is also ideal for controlling immersion heaters and high intensity
lamps (up to 1265 watts), plus flexible electric heating tapes. The new heat
sink design provides optimum heat dissipation.

The separate voltage and ON/OFF controls prevent the output voltage set­ting from being affected when the unit is turned ON and OFF. This is an
advantage in applications requiring a fixed startup voltage.

CAUTION: This controller is not intended to be used with Fluorescent

lighting or with other electrical arc discharge devices.

INSTALLATION

Plug the grounded power cord into a 115V AC outlet.
Plug in the cord from the controlled device at the standard 15 ampere

receptacle.
The controller is furnished with mounting hardware and a TEMPLATE for

easy, permanent wall or counter mounting.

OPERATION

The output voltage control dial is graduated from 0 to 100 for reference
purposes. Where high precision isn’t essential, the dial graduations are
close to percentage values for voltage output. When used in precision
motor speed control applications, read the speed with a tachometer as you
adjust the controller.

Here’s the simple operating procedure:

• Press the POWER SWITCH to the ON position. The built-in pilot light
will denote the ON status.

• Adjust the output voltage control dial to the desired level.

FAIL-SAFE OPERATION

An overload condition will automatically shut down the controller.
Note: The pilot light will remain on when the circuit breaker trips.

• Correct the problem, then press the circuit breaker button (located on
the left side) to restore operation.

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE

The rugged enclosure is resistant to standard cleaners and solvents.

WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts in this solid-state

controller. If repairs are required, contact your dealer.
