Watlow DIN-A-MITE Style A User manual

The DIN-A-MITE is warranted to be free of defects in material
and workmanship for 36 months after delivery to the first
purchaser for use, providing that the units have not been
misapplied. Since Watlow has no control over their use, and
sometimes misuse, we cannot guarantee against failure. Watlow’s
obligations hereunder, at Watlow’s option, are limited to
replacement, repair, or refund of purchase price, and parts which
upon examination prove to be defective within the warranty
period specified. This warranty does not apply to damage
resulting from transportation, alteration, misuse, abuse, or
improper fusing.
Returns
• Call Customer Service: [phone], or fax: [phone],
for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number before
returning any item for repair.
• Make sure the RMA number is on the outside of the carton, and
on all paperwork returned. Ship on a freight prepaid basis.
• A restocking charge of 20% of the net price applies for all
returned stock controls and accessories in like new condition
and within 120 days after shipment. Non-stock and modified
stock items are not returnable.
• If the unit is unrepairable, it will be returned to you with a
letter of explanation. Repair costs will not exceed 50% of the
original cost.

Technical Assistance
If you encounter a problem with your Watlow controller, review
your configuration information to verify that your selections are
consistent with your application: inputs; outputs; alarms; limits;
etc. If the problem persists after checking the configuration of the
controller, you can get technical assistance from your local Watlow
representative, or in the U.S., dial [phone]. For
technical support, ask for for an Applications Engineer.

To mount:
1. ush the unit in and
down to catch the rail
hook on top of the rail.
2. Rotate the bottom of
the unit in toward the
rail.
3. The rail clasp will
audibly “snap” into
place. If the DIN-A-
MITE does not snap
into place, check to
see if the rail is bent.
4. Mount the cooling fins
vertically.

NOTE:
Grounding
•Use a grounding ondu tor
terminal plate (fork terminal)
having upturned lugs or the
equivalent to hold the wire in
position. Maximum 6 mm2(10
AWG) wire.
Fusing
•Re ommended fusing options (see
page 6) to meet 200KA SCCR, type
1 and 2 approved. All other fuse
and SCR ombinations are defaulted
to 5KA SCCR per UL508A and NEC
guidelines.
Torque Guidelines
• Properly torque line and load
terminals to 1.4 Nm (12 in-lb).
• Retorque after 48 hours to
minimize wire old flow.
• Retorque line and load terminals
every 3 to 6 months.

Required External EMI Filters for
DIN-A-MITE with More than 6 A Loads
An external EMI filter must be used in conjunction with the DIN-
A-MITE for loads in excess of six amperes (6A) at 150 to 250 kHz.
Without a filter applied, the DIN-A-MITE does not comply with
the conducted emissions standard for loads above 6A at 150 to 250
KHz.
Watlow has verified that two types of filters will suppress
electromagnetic interference (EMI) created by the DIN-A-MITE
power controller to within the CE requirements.
A tank filter supplied by Crydom or Watlow, installed across the
power lines, suppresses EMI on the power lines. See figure below.
See Table 1 for the correct filter.

WARNING
Tank filters may suppress desirable communications carried on power
lines in the 150 to 250 K z region. The filters may suppress carrier
current such as that used for infant monitors and medical alert systems.
Verify that suppressed carrier current or other desirable
communications on power lines creates no hazard to people or
property. Failure to observe this warning could result in damage to
property, and or injury to death for personnel.
WARNING
All filter installation and wiring must be performed by qualified personnel
and conform to local and national electrical codes
In-line power filters have been shown to properly suppress EMI; however, these filters must be rated for the entire load current and are
generally more expensive than the tank filter specified. An In-line filter may be required if carrier current communications are used on
site.
