DESCRIPTION
The PHS Series AC Phase Control is an ideal method of changing lamp intensity, varying the speed of a fan moto, or controling the temperature of a heater. The effective output voltage is adjusted with an accessory external potentiometer suitable for line voltage applications; units are available for 120VAC or 230VAC systems, and output ratings of 1, 6, 10 or 20 amperes are available. The PHS easy to use series connection and encapsulated circuitry offers flexibility and reliability.

SPECIFICATIONS
1. Output
1.1 Solid state modulating phase control
1.2 Rating:

P1004-174 100k
P1004-175 200k
A durable conductive plastic potentiometer. Recommended for use with the PHS Series. It is designed to withstand high temperature and harsh environments. The shaft is slotted for screwdriver adjustment and can be panel mounted.
Resistance values 100k and 200k ±10%
Rated 2 watts at 70°C
Linear taper
Shaft rotation: 312° ±3° (effective rotation 275° ±5°)

CONNECTION OPERATION
Upon application of power (switch closure), effective output voltage can be varied by changing the external adjustment value. As the external resistance increases, the effecive output voltage decreases. The inverse is also true.
