Getting to know QSC3
240V / 50Hz MAINS INPUT|
---|---
240V, 13A MAX OUTPUT
Introduction
The QSC3 was designed to control quartz heaters, however, it is capable of controlling any heaters up to a maximum load of 13A/3000W. The microcontroller-based unit incorporates zero-crossing switching and a soft- start function to eliminate the quartz heaters’ initial high inrush current – potentially in- creasing lamp life by as much as 30% and reducing the stress on the mains supply.
Installation
Care should be taken when installing the QSC3. The maximum cable the QSC3 can
accept is 2.5mm2. When refitting the lid ensure to align the light pipe on the
lid with the indicator light.
The QSC3 should be wired to a 13A fuse and must not be covered to avoid
overheating. The controlled load should be connected to the Load connection.
If being used to control heating It should not be mounted directly above or
behind the heater, ideally, it should be mounted at the side of and 250mm from
the heater.
See Fig.2 for mounting instructions.
Operation
The unit can be used as a wireless receiver, or solely as a soft start. This
needs to be selected using the small jumper switch located by the LED. It will
arrive factory set in the “Receiver-ON” position as shown in the picture. In
this mode, the LED indicator light will light up green showing power is
available to the unit. When the output has been enabled by a wireless
controller, the LED indicator light will turn red.
To disable the wireless receiver and use it solely as a soft start, remove the
jumper link and place it on the “Receiver-OFF” and middle pin. In this mode,
the light will go green momentarily then go to red enabling the output.
QSC3 can be controlled by any of the Consort wireless controllers. For
Information on pairing the controller to the QSC3, please refer to the
controller’s user instructions. The
information can be found under the “Pairing” Section.
