R850 SERIES
R850V STEP CONTROLLER
WITH INTEGRATED VERNIER STAGE
• Pulsed or analog 0 to 10 Vdc vernier stage
• 4 or 8 step models
• Up to 16 stage total with a slave unit
• Test button
DESCRIPTION
The Viconics R850V series step controller is designed for
cost effective, precise modulation of multi-stage control
application. A common application is a multi step electric
duct heater.
An integrated vernier control output will give a precise and
full modulation of the load from 0 to 100% of the total
capacity.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Microcomputer-based design
Accuracy and reliability
Adjustable inter-stage delay
Provides flexibility in
replacement applications
Adjustable Vernier ratio
Simplifies design of
proportional stage
Choice of pulsed or analog
Vernier output
Permits use of SCR or lower
cost SSR
Up to 16 stages
One product family can handle
all applications
Choice of LIFO or FIFO
sequencing
Increased flexibility of FIFO
permits even use of contactors
Test button
Quick troubleshooting
MODELS AVAILABLE
The R850-V is available in 2 models
• R850V-4
4 stage unit
• R850V-8
8 stage unit
If more than 8 stage are required, the R850-V8 can be used
as a master unit with another R850V as a slave unit. Adding
another unit ( R850-V4 or R850-V8 ) can bring the total step
number up to 12 or 16.
OVERRIDE TEST BUTTON
The override test button can be used to by-pass the
interstage delay and bring on all stage at one time. This
simplifies the verification of configured maximum number of
stage.
A status LED per step will come on for each of the configured
stage.
