The Chromalox Model MiniMax 1 Single Phase Solid State SCR Power Controller is a highly versatile power pak with optional plug-in Shorted SCR Detection Boards. Firing modes can be switched between On/Off and proportional Zero Cross or DOT Firing power control at any time based on process needs.

Chromalox’ exclusive DOT (Demand Oriented Transfer) firing switches the fewest number of cycles to provide the most precise zero crossover control. At 50% output the unit’s output alternates between one electrical cycle on and one cycle off. At 51% the output continues with one cycle on / one cycle off and gradually integrates one extra “on” cycle for the additional one percent. With the exception of phase angle firing, DOT firing is the most precise method of SCR control. DOT firing is preferred in many applications because phase angle firing creates unwanted RFI. DOT is excellent for applications where consistent heater/process temperature control is critical.

The MaxPac Viewer Configuration Software allows users to program a variety of parameters and settings into their MaxPac I, II, III and MiniMax I, II, and III power controllers. Power management, alarm monitoring, firing mode, and cycle time adjustment are just a few of the settings available. The software also has a service platform for troubleshooting and maintenance on the spot.
