Controller** The Tempatron MINITHERM6-MCU[TM] quad range temperature controllers are designed for a wide range of OEM heating and refrigeration applications, and are ideal for replacement of electromechanical controls. Any one of four commonly used temperature ranges can be selected by cutting just two wire links. They are available in 110Vac and 230Vac versions (or 24Vdc to special order) with a 16 Amp changeover relay output and are compatible with industry standard 10K (@25°C) NTC thermistors. These chassis mounting modules measure only 70mm x 45mm and have an integral energy regulation feature (link selectable) which reduces the connected heating/cooling power to 33% duty cycle as the temperature approaches the setpoint. An onboard (or optional remote) LED indicates current temperature status and diagnostic conditions. ## **For temperature control in machinery, systems and operational processes** **==> picture [483 x 270] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

**Dimensions** ## **33% Duty Cycle** This feature cycles the output on for 6.4 seconds every 19.2 seconds as the temperature approaches the setpoint. This can reduce over/undershoot in many basic temperature control applications. It is primarily intended for heating applications. ‘Spin cut’ the pcb pad (copper side, top right) adjacent to the 8-pin integrated circuit to enable this feature. All dimensions in mm Continued...

To use this feature simply:- 1. Set up the required temperature using the adjustment potentiometer. 2. Switch off the auxiliary power to the controller. 3. Insert the red programming link into the 2 pin header marked **LP** . 4. Switch on the auxiliary power to the controller. The LED will blink on for 5 seconds indicating **LOCKPOT off** , then change to continuous flashing indicating **LOCKPOT on** . 5. Switch off the auxiliary power to the controller and remove the programming link. 6. Repeat above to re-select **LOCKPOT off** . - Off, blinking on: - On, temperature out of range Flashing on/off: - On, temperature in range On, blinking off: - On, nearing set temperature Continuous on: - Off, at set temperature - Flashing @ 2 seconds: - Off, lockout failure **Electrical Connections:** - Five 6.3mm blades for power (L, N) - & relay output (N/C, C, N/O) - 2-pin molex connector for thermistor 2-pin molex connector for remote LED **Mounting:** Two M3 fixing pillars spaced 33mm **Operating Temperature:** - -20ºC to 65ºC **Enclosure Code:** - Case IP00 **Weight:** - 35g Specification subject to change without notice.
