RGS Solid State Relay with Soft Start Switching
The RGS1P..K provides a solution for starting of loads having a high cold to hot resistance ratio and hence it is very common for such loads to exhibit a high inrush current when switched on from a cold state. Such behaviour is very common for short wave infrared heaters.
When a control signal is applied to the RGS1P..K, a soft start is performed. The soft start time is settable through an accessible potentiometer. Once the soft start is complete, the RGS1P..K output switches ON and OFF according to the control signal. Soft starting is perfomed again if the control signal has been missing for more than 5 seconds.
The output of the RGS1P is protected against overvoltages by means of an integrated varistor across the output. Two front LEDs indicate the status of the load and control.
Specifications are at a surrounding temperature of 25°C unless otherwise specified.
