RJ, RN Thyristor Controllers

Thyristor Controllers (solid state relays) provide a means of varying the voltage for electrically resistive loads, typically electric
heating elements.The RN controllers are not suitable for switching lamps due to light flicker.

controllers use a Full Cycle fixed operating mode.

All Trend RJ, RN solid state thyristor relays have the following specification:

Control supply

RJ :20 to 28 Vac/dc; 18 mA at 24 Vdc, 23 mA at 24 Vac
RN :12 to 32 Vdc or 21 to 27 Vac; 30 mA at 32 Vdc or 27 Vac

Current ratings :depend on ambient temperature, nominal 30, 50 A ratings are at 25 °C (RJ), 30 °C (RN) ambient.

Product Description

Ordering Key

The Solitron Midi Analog
Switching is a single-phase
SSR that provides proportional
output power in relation to the
control signal level applied.
This microprocessor-based
device provides for 5 different
switching modes integrated
into one package. A selector
switch on the front of the
device is used for the selection
of the preferred mode of oper­ation, i.e., either Phase Angle,
Distributed Full Cycle or Burst

Control. This multi-function
selection makes this device
ideal for the control of a variety
of loads, including heaters and
lamps. The control signal can
be either 4 - 20mA or 0 ­10VDC. 4mA or 0V correspond
to zero output power, whilst
20mA or 10VDC correspond to
full output power.
The product is ready to mount
on DIN-rail or chassis and
comes with integral heatsink.

LED INDICATION

The top Red LED indicates the
load status. It goes ON when­ever the load is activated. The
Green LED gives indication of
the status of the control input.

Upon application of control
current (for the RJ1P..I...) to
terminals A1-A3, the Green
LED will be dimly lit, with its
intensity increasing with an
increase in control current.

For the RJ1P..V..., the Green

LED will be ON (flickering)
upon application of the supply
voltage to terminals A2 - A4.
Once a control voltage is
applied to terminals A1 - A3,
the Green LED will be fully ON,
if greater than a threshold volt­age (approx. 0.5V). Note that
the first time the device (volt­age control version) is to be
activated, the mains voltage
has to be present for the
Green LED to indicate the
control status.

MODE 1 Phase Angle Switching
MODE 2 Distributed Control
MODE 3 Burst Switching (1 sec. period)
MODE 4 Burst Switching (3 sec. period)
MODE 5 Burst Switching (10 sec. period)

MODE 1: The Phase Angle
switching mode works in
accordance with the phase
angle control principle, i.e. the
output switching point in the
AC sine wave depends on the
signal level applied at the
input. The relay switches off
everytime the output current
crosses zero.

MODE 2: The Distributed
mode provides a number of
full cycles, evenly distributed
over a fixed period of 1.28s @
50Hz (1.07s @ 60Hz), depend­ing on the control input.

MODE 3, 4, 5: The Burst
Switching mode generates a
number of full cycles, depend­ing on the control input over
fixed periods of 1s, 3s or 10s
for MODES 3, 4 and 5 respec­tively.

Modes 2, 3, 4 and 5 use the
zero switching principle, thus
ensuring a reduced level of
radiated and wire-conducted
noise. The Distributed and
Burst Switching modes are not
recommended for light control
due to light-flickering.

Note: For the RJ1P..V..., it is possible to have the ground terminals of the supply and control power supplies used commoned. In the case, this common
ground is connected either to terminal A2 or terminal A3. This is only applicable when a 24 VDC supply voltage is used. There should be no external direct
link from terminal A2 to Terminal A3.

Product Description

Ordering Key

RN 1 F 40 V 30

The analog switching relay pro­vides a number of full cycles,
evenly distributed over a fixed
period, depending of the con­trol input. The input of 4-20 mA
or 0-10 VDC respectively,
corresponds to zero and full
output within a period of 1.28 s
@ 50 Hz (1.07 s @ 60 Hz). This
principle makes the transfer
characteristics fully linear. The

principle operates with zero
switching, thus ensuring a
reduced level of radiated and
wire conducted noise. The 2­pole type has alarm LED indi­cation by loss of master
phase. The analogue Full
Cycle Switching is not recom­mended for light control due
to light-flickering.
