PROFILE
The GT family of solid-state relays has
been designed with the aim of providing
very accurate control of the load thanks
to an analog control input, in voltage
at 0…5V; 0…10V or in current at
0…20/4…20mA or a potentiometer (from
1KΩ to 10 KΩ).
The electronic design ensures that the
cycle time for proportioning the power is
automatically optimized.
Il numero di periodi che il GT fornisce
al carico (“treni d’ onda”) per un
certo valore di segnale di ingresso, è
calcolato in modo da essere il minimo
possibile, pur mantenendo la precisione
necessaria.
The number of cycles that the GT
supplies to the load (wave trains) for
a given input signal is calculated to be
the minimum possible to maintain the
necessary accuracy.
The GT can be used in three phase
systems, using master-slave control
architecture in which the control signal
drives only one GT (master) and this unit
supplies the synchronized signals to the
other slaves. Two GS modules can also
be used as slaves (logic control).
A load interrupt control option (HB)
is available without having to use an
external current transformer; alarm limit
is settable with trimmer and yellow LED
signal, with voltage-free contact, normally
open.
The GT solid-state relay has a green
LED to indicate the presence of the
24Vac power supply and a red LED
to indicate the switching based on the
analog control input signal.
The LED signal will be continuous (off at
minimum, on at maximum) at the ends of
the scale, pulsing for intermediate values.
The units offer optional accessoires for
panel mounting, fuses and fuseholders,
current transformer, isolation
transformers.
Use the relè with an opportune heatsink
(see section accessories).

Installation notes
- The heat sink must be grounded.
- The device must be protected by an
appropriate high-speed fuse (accessory).
- Applications with solid state power units
must also include an automatic safety
switch to cut out the load power line.
- Protect the solid state relay by using an
appropriate heat sink (accessory).
The heat sink must be sized according to
room temperature and load current (see
the technical documentation).
- Procedure for mounting on heat sink:
The module-heat sink contact surface
must have a maximum planarity error
of 0.05mm. and maximum roughness of
0.02mm. The fastening holes on the heat
sink must be threaded and countersunk.
Attention: spread 1 gram of
thermoconductive silicone (we
recommend DOW CORNING 340
HeatSink) on the dissipative metal
surface of the module.
The surfaces must be clean and
there must be no impurities in the
thermoconductive paste.
Alternately tighten the two fastening
screws until reaching a torque of 0.60
Nm for the M4 screws and 0.75 Nm for
the M5 screws.
Wait 30 minutes for any excess paste to
drain.
Alternately tighten the two fastening
screws until reaching a torque of 1.2 Nm
for the M4 screws and 1.5 Nm for the M5
screws.
We advise you to randomly check for
proper installation by dismantling the
module to make sure there are no air
bubbles under the copper plate.
Limits of use
• dissipation of thermal power of device
with restrictions on temperature of
installation site.
• requires exchange with outside air
or an air conditioner to transfer
dissipated power outside the panel.
• installation restrictions (distances
between devices to guarantee dissipation
by natural convection).
• max. voltage limits and derivative
of transients in line, for which the
solid state unit has internal protection
devices (depending on model).
• presence of dispersion current
< 3mA for SCR version GS
< 4mA for TRIAC version GS
(max. value with rated voltage
and junction temperature of 125°C).

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE OF THE INPUT SIGNAL
The solid-state power unit, Gt, is supplied factory calibrated for 0..5V, 0..10V, 0..20mA, 4..20mA, 10Kohm potentiometer.
Minimum and maximum values are adjusted with two monorev trimmers (d,e).
Input signal type is selected with the adjustment f dip switches (S1,S2,S3).

Minimum adjustment trimmer (d) turned fully counterclockwise sets the start conducting limit at 4% of the signal; turned fully
clockwise, the minimum conducting limit is set at 18% of the input signal.
Maximum adjustment trimmer (e) turned fully clockwise sets the full conducting limit at 96% of the signal; turned fully
counterclockwise, the full conducting limit is set at 82% of the input signal.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE OF THE INTERRUPTED LOAD ALARM
The interrupted load alarm function enables the GT to diagnose a variation of the load current (compared to a set limit),
distinguishing it from one caused by a change in grid voltage. The solid state power unit must therefore be supplied with the
voltage applied to the load terminals, i.e.: LOAD (L2): already connected internally;
LINE (h or i): connect terminal h for voltages from 150 to 300V; connect terminal i for voltages from 300 to 530V.
The alarm activates (relay closed and yellow alarm LED on) when the current, during the conduction of the device, falls below
a preset level that may be adjusted using the trimmer on the faceplate.
Calibration procedure (refer to the faceplate description drawing)
1) Use the adjustment system (or a calibrator) in order to supply the maximum signal (100% conduction or thered “ON” LED
always illuminated). As an alternative, you can configure the GT to 0-10 V DC input configuration and connect terminals 5
and 6.
2) Use a current sensing pliers to check that the load current is at rated level.
3) Turn alarm limit adjustment trimmer (g) fully clockwise. Check that yellow alarm LED (b) turns on.
4) Slowly turn trimmer (g) counterclockwise until the alarm LED turns off.
5) Turn the trimmer counterclockwise another 1/10 of a turn (1 notch on the scale).
In this way, the alarm limit is set below 10% of the rated load current.
N.B:
the partial load break alarm function operates with power partialization exceeding 15%. For partializations below 20%, tripping
times increase due to the reduced load activation time. For correct operation of the option, the load current has to exceed 30%
of rated current for the GT.
Notes on use of the GT with the digital On/Off control
- The logic control signal has to be connected with the correct polarities to terminals 4 and 5 of the analog input.
- Turn minimum adjustment trimmer (d) fully counterclockwise and maximum adjustment trimmer (e) fully clockwise.
- Set the 3 dip switches (f) to off.
For applications with a very short work cycle, you can drive the solid state group by means of the Master/Slave signal by
driving it with a digital signal (OFF = 0 V dc; ON = from 4 V dc to 10 V dc)
Inhibiting the GT
You can inhibit operation of the GT by means of the Master/Slave signal.
To inhibit, connect control signal - (4) with the synchronism signal for Master/Slave connection (3).
Notes on use of the GT in Master/Slave configuration
The GT can be used as a master to drive other solid state groups (slaves). With Master/Slave signal (3), you can drive up to 9
GTs (see connection examples for GT solid state power relays with three-phase load). You can also use a GT to drive GS solid
state power relays (maximum of 2), as shown in the connection diagrams for GT/GS solid state power relays with three-phase
load (attention: the HB option cannot be used for a three-phase application with neutral).

•WARNINGS
WARNING: this symbol indicates danger.
Before installation, please read the following advices:
• follow the indications of the manual scrupulously when making the connections to the instrument.
• use a cable that is suitable for the ratings of voltage and current indicated in the technical specifications.
• if the instrument is used in applications where there is risk of injury to persons and damage to machines or materials, it is essential that it is used with
an auxiliary alarm device.
It is advisable to verify frequently that the alarm device is functional even during the normal operation of the equipment.
• The instrument must NOT be used in environments where there could be the presence of dangerous atmospheres (inflammable or explosive).
• During continuous operation, the heatsink may reach 100°C and remain at a high temperature due to thermal inertia even after the device is switched
off. Therefore, DO NOT touch the heat sink or the electrical wires.
• do not operate on the power circuit untless the main supply is disconnected.
• DO NOT open the cover if device is “ON”!
(use the holes in the cover for eventual re-calibration).
Installation:
• connect the device to the ground using the proper ground terminal.
• the power supply wiring must be kept separate from that of inputs and outputs of the instrument; always check that the supply voltage corresponds to
that indicated on the instrument cover.
• evitare la polvere, l’ umidità, i gas corrosivi, le fonti di calore.
• keep away from dust, humidity, corrosive gases and heat sources.
• The connection cable must be shorter than 3 meters if the current transformer is used.
