SCZF1 SSR Power Controller Description

CHAPTER 1 - Description

1.1 General Description

The SCZF1 is a Single-phase, zero-fired power controller, and can operate with a wide variety of input
signals and line voltages up to 575 Vac and currents ranging from 15 through 65 amperes. The
SCZF1’s average output voltage is proportional to its input signal. The SCZF1 SSR Series utilizes an
isolated base Solid-State-Relay (SSR) Module which contains two SCRs connected back to back. The
firing circuit is based on a common integrated circuit. Terminals are provided to ease installation.

1.2 Application
A variable time base firing circuit is used to provide precise control of power to resistive loads. These
units should never be used on inductive loads. However, they are versatile enough to be used in
place of mechanical contactors and mercury relays on dryers, kilns, ovens, environmental chambers,
extruders, molding equipment, and other types of equipment which use resistive heat.

1.3 Specification
Specifications for the SCZF1 SSR power controller are given in Tables 1.1 and 1.2.

480 Vac - 480 65 A rms - 65 Can have multiple selections Manual Pot input - 05
575 Vac - 575 Others - xx

1.4 Option NO/NC (Thermostat)

Heatsink Thermostats (Option NO or NC) provide a dry contact either Normally Open (NO) or Normally
Closed (NC).

1.5 Option LF (Load Failure Alarm)

Load Failure Alarm detects changes in the load and should be used when the “Load” is made up of
several parallel paths. The load failure alarm will determine when 5% or more of the load has failed.
A relay output is provided.

SCZF1 SSR Power Controller Installation

CHAPTER 2 - Installation

2.1 Mounting the SCZF1

Determine space and mounting hole requirements by referring to the outline drawing in the Appendix.
Mount the unit so the line and load connections are at the top and ensure that upward airflow over the
heat sink fins is unrestricted. Separate mounting brackets are provided.

2.2 Load Wiring

Connect the load to the proper terminals (refer to schematic in Appendix A) using appropriately sized
and insulated conductors. All input/output conductors should be stranded copper wire only; minimum
temperature rating is 75 ºC.

WARNING - ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES exist at the (LINE and LOAD) terminals when the
input voltage is connected. This condition exists even when the Controller is
set to deliver zero output. Always remove power and properly lock out power to
the unit before attempting any service, including the load.

2.3 Line Wiring

Connect input lines from the fused disconnect or circuit breaker to the Line terminal (refer to schematic
in Appendix A) using appropriately sized and insulated conductors. (NOTE: Input power should be
routed through a fused disconnect or circuit breaker with a fuse or trip rating of 100% to 125% of the
current rating stamped on the nameplate of the SCZF1 series unit.) Torque Line and Load connection
to 25 in-lbs.

WARNING
Branch circuit overcurrent protection required is to be provided in accordance
with the national and local codes of the inspecting authority.

2.4 Command Signal Input

HDR’s SCPF1 SSR Power Controllers have the capability of having a current, voltage or potentiometer
Command Signal input. For current command (4-20 mA) connected the process controller across
terminals 1 and 2, for voltage command remove jumper in Figure 3.1.

Figure 2.1 Process Controller Input Connections

Rev 2 Ametek HDR Power Systems 5

Installation SCZF1 SSR Power Controller

Some applications only require a manual control input and not a closed loop input from a process
controller. This potentiometer may be located on a remote panel near other controls related to the
process being powered by the SCZF1. Connect a potentiometer rated 500 ohms to 5 kΩ, 1/2 Watt
minimum as in Figure 2.2 or the schematic in Appendix A. Remove jumper in Figure 3.1.

Figure 2.2 Potentiometer Input Connections

2.5 Heatsink Thermostat Contacts

Normally-open (N.O.) or normally-closed (N.C.) thermostat is mounted to the heat sink when this
option is purchased. This thermostat, which close or open on high heat sink temperature (200 ºF),
may be used to initiate an alarm, shunt trip, or other device for SCR protection.

SCZF1 SSR Power Controller Operation

CHAPTER 3 - Operation

3.1 General
The SCZF1 controls power by the switching action of two SCRs connected in a back to back
configuration. The gating of these SCRs is synchronized with the line frequency (either 50 or 60 Hz)
by the zero crossing detector built into the solid-state relay module. The power controller regulates the
output voltage by proportionally controlling the number of AC cycles “on” versus the number “off”.
Because the voltage is “turned on” at zero crossing, very little radio frequency interference (RFI) is
generated and the power factor (PF) is near unity. The output may be adjusted by a voltage or current
signal from a process controller. Zero and Span controls allow the user to calibrate the power
controller’s output to the process signal.

The firing control circuit of the SCZF1 operates on a variable rather than fixed time base. Operating
on a fixed-time base of 1/3 second (20 cycles), for example, at 50% power the SCRs would be on for
10 cycles, off for 10 cycles, on for 10 cycles, and so on. Operating on a variable-time-base, at 50%
power, the SCRs are on for one cycle and off for the next. At 75% power, the controller, with a fixed-
time-base of one-third second (20 cycles), would be on for 15 cycles and off for 5. The variable-time-
base, however, would be on for three cycles, off for one, and so on. The time required to describe the
operation of the ZF1 would be the period of four cycles in this case – three cycles on and one cycle off.
For 50% power, the time required to describe the operation of the variable-time-base would be the
period of two cycles – one cycle on and one cycle off. Hence the time-base of the ZF1 would be the
period of two cycles for 50% power and four cycles for 75% power. The time-base varies for other
power levels as well, so its period is always that of a whole number of cycles

Keep in mind that SCZF1 units can only be used on resistive loads. If an inductive load or a load with a
large resistance change (instantaneously or cold to hot) is being used, a phase fired (PF) power
control should be used.

3.2 Power On Indicator

The Power On Indicator is a red Light Emitting Diode (LED) located on the front. The LED lights when
power is applied.

3.3 Command Indicator

The Command Indicator is a green Light Emitting Diode (LED) located on the front. The flash rate of
this LED will change with a Command Signal. The flash rate increases with an increased Command
Signal and decreases with a decreased Command Signal

3.4 Zero and Span Adjustments

The Zero potentiometer has both positive and negative voltages available making it usable as a
manual or zero control. By turning the Zero control clockwise the unit's output voltage will increase
proportionally to the adjustment. Turning it counter-clockwise will decrease or zero the output for any
non-zero based command signal.

The Span potentiometer is used to adjust the maximum output. It will adjust for either a remote
manual control or a command signal input. Clockwise adjustment increases the output while counter-
clockwise adjustment decreases the output. Due to some interaction between controls, it may be
necessary to repeat these adjustments.

3.5 Command Input Control

Connect the control signal per the schematic in Appendix A. The SCZF1 Zero and Span is calibrated
at the Factory for the specified input type and normally does NOT need adjustment. However, should

Rev 2 Ametek HDR Power Systems 7

Operation SCZF1 SSR Power Controller

a setup be required use the following methods. (Note: Adjustments requires a jeweler’s screw driver
for multi-turn bias & gain adjustments.) If using voltage input remove jumper in Figure 3.1.

The output voltage linearity for any given command is affected by the setting of the Zero and Span
adjustments.

a. Set the ZERO and SPAN controls fully CCW (counterclockwise). .

b. Connect a voltmeter across terminals LINE and LOAD of the SCZF1. Set the voltmeter range to
measure full input voltage.
c. Close the fused disconnect or circuit breaker to apply power to the SCZF1. Turn the Process
controller on and set to demand zero power output or remote potentiometer fully CCW.
d. Adjust the ZERO control CW until the output just turns on, then turn the ZERO control CCW just to
the point where the output voltage reading is zero.
e. Set the Process controller to demand 100% output. Observing the voltmeter, adjust SPAN CW
just to the point where the reading is below the maximum output voltage. Then adjust SPAN CW
just to the point where the meter reading is at maximum.
Note: The output voltage measurement on Zero Fired Power Controllers with a digital voltmeter
will be erratic except at full output. This is due to the variable pulses to regulate the output.
f. Repeat steps 3.5d through 3.5e as necessary, to ensure proper control adjustments have been
made.
g. Turn off the line power to the SCZF1 and disconnect the test equipment. The SCZF1 is now ready
for operation.

3.6 Remote Manual Control with a Potentiometer

Some applications only require a manual control input and not a closed loop input from a process
controller. This potentiometer may be located on a remote panel near other controls related to the
process being powered by the SCZF1. It may be calibrated to correspond to a percentage of rated
power output, process temperature, or some other parameter. The potentiometer may by 500 Ω to 5
kΩ, and should be rated at 1/2 watt, minimum.

a. With the power to the SCZF1 turned off, connect the potentiometer as shown in Figure 2.2. The
CW position is the full power output position.
b. Remove jumper next to Span potentiometer, Reference Figure 3.1.
c. Set the SPAN control and remote potentiometer fully CCW.
d. Connect a voltmeter across terminals LINE and LOAD of the SCZF1. Set the voltmeter range to
measure the full output voltage.
e. Close the fused disconnect or circuit breaker to apply power to the SCZF1. The unit should be
energized, with no output.
f. Adjust the ZERO control CW until the output just turns on, then turn the ZERO control CCW just to
the point where the output voltage reading is zero.
g. Set the SPAN control and remote potentiometer fully CW. The output should be full-on.

Troubleshooting SCZF1 SSR Power Controller

CHAPTER 4 – Troubleshooting

4.1 Customer-Service Program

Although service is seldom necessary, because of the inherent long-term reliability of solid-state
components and conservative design, Ametek HDR Power Systems emphasizes customer satisfaction
by maintaining a rapid-response and cooperative customer-service. If operational difficulties occur,
Ametek HDR Power Systems will provide replacement parts or units quickly, courteously and
efficiently. If servicing problems arise that are not within the scope of the following troubleshooting
guide, service is readily available, as detailed in Chapter 5.

4.2 Troubleshooting Typical Symptoms

The SCZF1 is considered to be operating properly when its output voltage can be satisfactorily varied
from 0% to 97% of the available input voltage by a control signal. Improper operation of the unit is
usually indicated by one of the following symptoms:

a. No output.
b. Full output at all times, with no change resulting from a control signal change.
c. Output variable from some intermediate value to maximum, but cannot be brought to zero.
d. Output variable from zero to some intermediate value, but cannot be brought to maximum.

The symptoms listed may be caused by one or more of the following: an environmental problem,
faulty input-power or load connections, and the SCZF1 itself. These possible causes should be
investigated as described in Chapters 4.4 through 4.6.

WARNING - ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES exist at the exposed (LINE and LOAD) terminals
unless the line-source fused disconnect or circuit breaker is open or off.
This is true even when the SCR’s are turned off. Always remove power and
properly lock out power to the unit before attempting any service.

4.3 Static Precautions when Servicing

Servicing should be performed by qualified personnel only, following procedures described herein.

ATTENTION
Printed circuit boards contain sensitive components that can be damaged
by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Observe precautions for handling
electrostatic sensitive devices.

If troubleshooting indicates a need to replace a component on a printed circuit board or possibly the
entire board, measures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage must be taken.

a. ALWAYS wear a wrist strap connected to ground through a 1-megohm resistor when working on
printed circuit boards.
b. Use soldering iron with a grounded tip.
c. Use a non-static solder sucker (metallic) or solder removal braid.
d. Transport static sensitive components in static shielding bags or rails. A new printed circuit board
should be treated as a static sensitive device. A part completely installed on a board does not
make the part static-safe.

10 Ametek HDR Power Systems Rev 2

SCZF1 SSR Power Controller Troubleshooting

e. If possible, perform printed circuit board maintenance at a work station that has a conductive
covering which is grounded through a 1-megohm resistor. If a conductive table top is unavailable,
a clean steel or aluminum table top is an excellent substitute.
f. Keep plastic, vinyl, Styrofoam or other non-conductive materials away from printed circuit boards.
They are good static generators that do not give up their charge easily.
g. Return goods to Ametek HDR Power Systems in static-safe packaging. This will limit further
component damage from ESD.
h. CAUTION. Do not touch any printed circuit board unless you are wearing a ground wrist strap, as
circuit damage may occur. Grounding kits are also available commercially and can be purchased
through most electronic wholesalers.

4.4 Environmental Problems

Check to see that none of the following environmental problems exist.
Inadequate Cooling. Allow at least 1 inch of air space (in any direction) between the heat sinks and
any item or structure near the SCZF1 power modules. Heat sink fins should be free of dust or dirt for
proper heat transfer, and free of obstructions which could prevent proper airflow.
Contamination. The unit should be periodically cleaned of all dust and dirt. However, certain kinds of
dust or particles are particularly conductive. A small accumulation of conductive material can cause
component failures from arc-over or complete shorts.
High Ambient Temperature. Lack of a proper ambient-temperature check before installation, or an
increase in ambient temperature, can result in numerous problems. Check the ambient temperature
under existing conditions. If it is 122 ºF (50 ºC) or lower, ambient temperature should not be a
problem. If it is above 122 ºF (50 ºC), steps should be taken to provide more cooling, or the SCZF1
should be moved to a cooler location, or call the Ametek HDR Power Systems service department.
Excessive Vibration. A significant degree of pitched or unpitched vibration can cause numerous
problems. If vibration is isolated as a probable cause of improper operation, standard vibration-
isolation mounting techniques should be employed.

4.5 Input Power and Load Connections

Turn off the power to the SCZF1 and check all power connections, input and output, to make sure they
are mechanically secure and free of corrosion. Make the same checks at the power source and load.
Visually check insulation on input and load wiring for evidence of damage or overheating.
