A Retrofit
for MDRs
Because the disposal of
mercury is a significant
environmental issue,
Watlow encourages you
to consider the use of the
DIN-A-MITE family
of power controllers
instead of mercury
displacement relays
(MDR).

OVENS AND FURNACES

In a coatings application, the
customer needed to rebuild an oven
to improve heater life and temperature
control, plus reduce electrical noise.
They needed a product that would fit in
the existing cabinet to avoid the costs
involved with increasing the size of the
cabinet. The customer replaced all of
the 100 amp mechanical contactors with
Watlows 100 amp DIN-A-MITE SCR
power controllers. This customer was
able to use the existing control panel
and mount the DIN-A-MITE controllers
in less space than the mechanical
contactors. Additionally, the
DIN-A-MITEs provided on-board
current transformers as well as
built-in semiconductor fusing.
These controllers improved heater
life and process temperature control
while reducing electrical noise with
zero cross firing.

footprint as MDRs. So,

if eliminating mercury

SEMICONDUCTOR

from your equipment is a

concern, youll eliminate
mercury and receive a
controller, with even
more features and
advantages.

Watlow knows the importance of

controlling temperature in the
semiconductor manufacturing process.
Even the slightest variation can cause
damage to expensive ingots and chips.

Watlows variable time base DIN-A-MITE

controllers help to maintain process set
point without any overshoot or droop
variations in temperature, ensuring a
quality process. The small size of the
DIN-A-MITE means the size of clean
room control panels will be minimal,
thus saving money.
Saves valuable space to increase
flexibility in semiconductor processing
Minimal RFI to ensure long life of the
heaters and other system equipment.

PLASTICS
In plastics processing, Watlows
DIN-A-MITE is an ideal replacement for
MDRs in injection molding, extrusion,
blown film extrusion and blow molding
systems. Youll get better control of the
heater and the process, more
accurate temperatures, a more
consistent product, less rejects and
reduced downtime.
A plastics manufacturer used MDRs
in their equipment, but wanted longer
heater life that relays could not
provide. They were also encountering
some trouble with machines occasionally
shutting down. Watlow
recommended three-phase, two leg
DIN-A-MITE controllers to replace the
MDRs. The DIN-A-MITEs fit in the same
footprint as the relays, so there was no
need to reconfigure the machine
to accept the new controllers. The
DIN-A-MITEs also eliminated electrical
noise and prevented machine
stoppages, therefore reducing
downtime.

The DIN-A-MITE family
TOTAL ENGINEERED of power controllers
from Watlow includes
PACKAGE
SCR control, heat sink,
wiring and a touch-safe exterior all in
one package. By designing the
DIN-A-MITE as a total unit, weve
eliminated the need to prep wires for
terminals, find the heat sink for rated
amperage and determine adequate
terminations. Watlows DIN-A-MITE is
a complete package you can install

for you.

In this one package, youll get:

Simplicity; easy, fast installation
Minimal preparation time
No component selectionyou wont
have to buy separate parts and
worry if they will work
Minimal engineering involvedyou

control, youll also see an
increase in parts produced
and less scrap, for improved
productivity and efficiency.

A proven high current connection

scheme ensures optimum electrical
connection to prevent
heat buildup, which could
lead to system failure.
To ensure overall reliability
and reduce fear of hot

system provides
you with less total
system downtime and less
maintenance for your system.

LONG TERM RELIABILITY
The DIN-A-MITE meets high current

less power. When
used properly, the
DIN-A-MITE outlasts
any other type of switch.
Theres no limit on the
number of cycles the
DIN-A-MITE can handle.

DIN-A-MITEs eliminate deviation, providing optimum control and long heater life.

Heaters switched using mechanical contactors suffer wide deviations due to long cycle
timestypically 30 secondsneeded to preserve life. Control is poor, heat is wasted, and
excessive expansion and contraction of the heating elements shortens heater life. MDRs
can be switched faster than contactors and will hold the heater closer to set point, but still
suffer deviations.
Fastest of all are solid state devices such as the DIN-A-MITE configured with variable
time base. Switching as fast as three ac wave cycles (less than 0.1 seconds), set point
deviation is virtually eliminated, giving the finest control, lowest power consumption,
and longest element life.

Extended Heater And Power Controller Life

With Variable Time Base
With variable time base control, the power controller
automatically adjusts the time base and output power with
respect to process input. Accelerated life testing verified that
variable time base control significantly reduces expansion
and contraction of the heater element. This extends heater
and power controller life while improving process temperature
control. You save money on heaters, downtime and
maintenance.

Loop Powered or Transformer Powered

Loop Powered
By using a temperature control 4-20mA process output signal as
the power supply for the DIN-A-MITE input the cost of the power
control can be reduced. With zero cross (burst fired) the 4-20mA
input signal simultaneously performs the tasks of providing a
power supply and an input command signal. The DIN-A-MITE
F0 input control signal is a loop powered option and will work
as single- or three-phase. It works only with a 4-20mA input.
Transformer Powered
Some DIN-A-MITE models require that an on-board power
supply be used to power the internal electronics. Phase angle
options require that we detect the zero cross of the ac sine wave
and thus a transformer is required also. The DIN-A-MITE input
control signal types L, P and S are transformer
powered and can be controlled manually (open loop) with a
potentiometer input or in the auto mode (close loop) with a
temperature control using any of the 4-20mA, linear voltage
(0-5,1-5 and 0-10V(dc)) input types.

3~ cycles on, 12~ cycles off

50% Power Output

Phase Angle
Models: DC1_ -_ _ [L, P] 0 - 0_ _ _

Phase angle (input control type P) phase control is infinitely

variable inside the sine wave. This provides a variable voltage
and/or current output. This option includes soft start and line
voltage compensation. This is transformer powered and
therefore will work with a linear voltage, current input or a
potentiometer input. This is single-phase only.

Single Cycle Variable Time Base

Models: DC_ _-_ _ S_ -_ _ _ _
25% Power Output

1~ line cycle on, 3 ~ cycles off

50% Power Output

1~ line cycle on, 1 ~ cycle off

With single-cycle variable time base (VTBS) control, at 50%
power, power is on one cycle and off one cycle. At 25%, it is on
for one cycle and off for three. Under 50%, the unit is not on for
more than one consecutive cycle. Over 50%, the unit is not off for
more than one consecutive cycle. This model will work with a
linear voltage input, a 4 to 20mA input or a potentiometer input.
