Description INFRESCO 1.5kW control is a variable regulator controller available in 2 versions. Either a 5 step (Off / Low / Medium / High / Full) version or a fully variable output version, both offer control of mains-driven loads, specifically Quartz Halogen Infrared heat lamps, rated up to a total of 1.5kW. This microcontroller-based unit incorporates a ‘soft-start’ gradual switch on function to eliminate the lamp’s initial high inrush current – potentially increasing the lamp life by as much as 30%. Output levels are selected by up & down push-buttons with a high-intensity LED indicating when the controller is regulating the power to the lamp load. A relay override function is built in the circuit design – thus, at maximum power (100%), the relay ‘switches in’ and bypasses the power (triac) and suppression (choke) devices. This helps to keep the units heatsink temperature to a lower operating temperature, since they are not in use in this state and generate no heat. Normal control is resumed below approximately 96% of the power setting. Installation is simple and once installed is very low maintenance 5 STEP OUTPUT – Off / Low / Medium / High / Full Output levels are selected by up & down push-buttons with a high-intensity LED indicating when the controller is regulating the power to the lamp load. Typical applications are Pub Patio areas, Smoking Shelters, Restaurants, Warehouses, Work shops. FEATURES Simple Wall Mounting IP55 protection for outdoor installation Soft-Start function Simple In-Line wiring, via 3-core cables Pre-selected heat output levels for optimum comfort control Power output indication Integral EMC filter suppression Relay override at maximum output – minimizing heat dissipation Click here for the 1.5kW Control (5 Step Version) datasheet Click here for the 1.5kW Control (Variable Version) datasheet
