PRECAUTIONS
Safety symbols
Important safety precautions and special information are indicated in the text of the manual by
two symbols:
This symbol means that failure to take note of the information given in this manual
may have serious consequences for the safety of personnel and may even result in
electrocution.
This symbol means that failure to take note of the information may
• have serious consequences for the installation or
• lead to the incorrect operation of the power unit.
These symbols must be observed for particular points.
However the whole of the manual remains applicable.
Personnel
The installation, configuration, commissioning and maintenance of the power unit should
only be carried out by personnel qualified and trained to work with low voltage electrical
equipment in an industrial environment.
Independent alarm
Given the value of the equipment controlled by TE200Aproducts it is the responsibility of the
user, and it is highly recommended, that an independent safety device (alarm) should be
installed. This alarm must be tested regularly.
Eurotherm can supply suitable equipment.

Chapter 1 IDENTIFYING THE CONTROLLERS
GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE TE200A SERIES
The TE200Aseries of controllers are thyristor units designed to control the electrical power in
industrial three-phase loads.
ATE200Aseries controller is made up of two channels, each comprising a pair of thyristors
connected in anti-parallel, and a direct (unswitched) channel.
The TE200Aseries is designed to control three-phase resistive loads:
• elements with a low temperature coefficient
• short-wave infrared elements (except for the 63A model).
Three-phase loads can be connected:
• in star without neutral
• in closed delta
The wiring of the controller is independent of the supply phase rotation.
The nominal line-to-line voltage ranges¡ from 200Vac to 500Vac.
The nominal currents, defined at an ambient temperature of 45°C, of TE200Aseries
controllers are between 16A and 63A, per phase.

TE200A User manual1-4
Two-phase control of three-phase loadsIDENTIFYING THE CONTROLLERS
The unit is controlled by analogue signals.
The analogue input signals have two voltage ranges: 0 to 5V or 0 to 10V, and one current
range: 4 to 20mA.
Local control is possible via a potentiometer (10kΩ).
The +5V user-voltage output is provided for this purpose.
The electronics of TE200Acontrollers are self-supplied from the power voltage and do not
require external connections (unless specified otherwise).
The control function for TE200Aincludes line voltage squared (V2) compensation for line
variations in the range ±10% of the nominal voltage of the controller; stability is better than
±2%.
TE200A series controllers have two thyristor firing modes:
• Burst-firing - the modulation cycle is from 30 cycles at 50% power (15 cycles ON,
15 cycles OFF) to a modulation time of approx 6 seconds at very low and very high power
demands.
• Single-cycle (one cycle of firing and one cycle of non-firing at 50% power).
ATE200Acontroller is equipped with:
• A‘driver board’which implements the control function and EMC filtering, and provides
power for the electronics. This board is also responsible for the input signal and operating
mode configurations.
• A ‘firing board’which triggers thyristor firing.
The filter which provides immunity against electromagnetic interference is located between
the power phases.
The user terminal block below the controller is used for the input signal connection without
needing access to the inside of the controller.
A green LED, labelled ‘ON’, indicates thyristor firing and is located on the front facia.
TE200A power controllers are designed to be bulkhead or DIN rail mounted.
The 63A rated unit must be permanently fan-cooled.
The fan power supply is 115Vac or 230Vac (to be specified when ordering the controller).

Two-phase control of three-phase loadsINSTALLATION
Chapter 2 INSTALLATION
Please read thoroughly before installing the controller
INSTALLATION - SAFETY Danger !
TE200A units must be installed by personnel qualified and trained to work with
low voltage electrical equipment in an industrial environment.
Units must be installed in electrical cabinets correctly fan-cooled to ensure that
condensation and pollution are excluded.
The cabinet must be closed and bonded to the safety earth in accordance with
Standards NFC 15-100, IEC 364 or current national Standards.
For installations which are fan-cooled, it is recommended that a fan-failure detection device
or a thermal safety cut-out should be fitted in the cabinet.
TE200A units may be bulkhead or DIN rail mounted.
The units must be mounted with the heatsink positioned vertically, with no obstructions above
or below which could inhibit or impede airflow.
If several units are mounted in the same cabinet, they should be arranged in such a way that
air expelled from one cannot be drawn into the unit located above it.
Warning !
The units are designed to be used at an ambient temperature less than or equal to
45°C at full load or up to 60°C at partial load (see Current derating curves, page
1-2).
Leave a minimum gap of 5cm between two units placed side by side.
Excessive overheating of the controller may lead to incorrect operation of the unit.
This may in turn cause damage to the components.

To mount the TE200Acontroller on DIN rails:
1. Offer up the unit by first engaging the two lips on the upper part of the fixing plate (back
plate of controller) on to the upper DIN rail.
2. Clip the controller (by its spring clip) on to the lower DIN rail, making sure that the clip is
properly engaged.

Two fixing plates, supplied with the controller (code BKD), are used for bulkhead mounting.
For this type of mounting, use the following instructions:
• Drill three holes for M6 screws following the dimensions given in Figure 2-4
• Fix the upper plate on to the panel using the oblong hole at the top of the controller
• Install the lower plate with two M6 screws
• Insert the fixing lugs of the controller into the lower plate
• Slightly undo the central screw holding the upper fixing plate in order to slide it upwards,
position the controller on the lower fixing plate and slide the upper plate back down on to
