Description
MaxPac I, II, and III
The Chromalox MaxPac I, II, and III con rollers are highly versa ile SCR Power Paks wi h op ional plug-in
propor ional firing and shor ed SCR de ec ion boards. Firing modes include On/Off and DOT propor ional zero
vol age swi ching. Chromalox exclusive DOT (Demand Orien ed Transfer) firing echnique swi ches he fewes
number of cycles o provide he mos precise zero crossover con rol. A 50% ou pu , he uni ’s ou pu al er-
na es be ween one cycle “On” and one cycle “Off.” A 51%, he ou pu con inues wi h one cycle “On,” one
cycle “Off,” and gradually in egra es one ex ra “On” cycle for he addi ional 1%. This DOT fired echnique also
minimizes empera ure overshoo , empera ure fluc ua ions and helps ex end he load’s elemen life due o
reduced hermal shock.
The power SCR assemblies consis of one, wo, or hree pairs of SCRs connec ed back o back (wi h an
op ional semiconduc or fuse), RC Snubber, and MOV pro ec ion. The firing circui is based on a common On/Off
con rol board wi h plug and play Shor ed SCR and DOT fired plug-in boards. Diagnos ic indica ors are included.
Plug-in erminal blocks for easy cus omer in erface are also provided.
MaxPac IP
The Chromalox MaxPac IP u ilizes Single Phase, Phase Angle firing o modula e power o an induc ive or
resis ive load. Phase Angle con rol has he advan age of propor ioning every cycle hereby providing very fine
resolu ion of power. Fas responding loads in which he resis ance changes as a func ion of empera ure
require Phase Angle con rol. The MaxPac IP offers a Sof S ar fea ure ha assures ha he load power is
gradually increased from zero o he value se by he command signal in he even of a power in errup ion. In
addi ion, op ional Curren Limi is used o pro ec he load, SCR con roller and he o al sys em from large surge
curren s ha could occur a s ar -up.

Before You Install
Immedia ely af er receiving your MaxPac I, II, III or IP Series Con roller, visually inspec he shipmen packaging
and record any damage on he shipping documen s. Unpack he con roller and carefully inspec for obvious
damage due o shipmen . If any damage has occurred, YOU mus file a claim wi h he carrier company, since
he carrier company will no accep a claim from he shipper (Chromalox).
Be sure o check he model number and verify ha you have received he correc Model of con roller.
If he con roller is no ins alled and placed in o opera ion immedia ely, i should be s ored in a cool, dry environ-
men . Tempera ure ex remes and excessive mois ure can damage he con roller.
Before choosing a loca ion in which o moun your MaxPac, please consider he following:
Temperature
When moun ing he SCR uni in a con rol panel, a en ion should be paid o he enclosure empera ure.
The SCR is ra ed o perform a i s namepla e curren ra ing in empera ures up o 50˚C (122˚F).
Ensure ha adequa e ven ila ion is provided or some o her me hod of main aining he correc cabine
empera ure is used.
Cleanliness
Careful a en ion mus be paid in areas subjec ed o airborne par icles. The efficiency of he hea sinks
relies on heir conduc ing surfaces being main ained in a clean manner. (See he Main enance Sec ion.)
Dampness
High humidi y or hosing down a uni should be avoided.
Clearance
Choose a loca ion ha will provide adequa e spacing around he uni when moun ed. This will ensure
proper air flow necessary o cool he device.
WARNIN
Hazardous Voltage: Disconnec and lockou power before ins alling
or servicing. Failure o comply could resul in personal injury or
equipmen damage.

Installation Section
(continuation of page 5)
The forced air design of the MaxPac series allows mounting in any direction. It is essential that air flow through
the enclosure be planned to insure proper cooling.
The 100 amp through 300 amp open design MaxPac allow the input line power to connect from either of two directions.
The output power can only be connected from one direction. The three mounting configurations
are shown below (MaxPac II Three-Phase Two-Leg Shown).
Open designs above 300 amps and all closed designs allow incoming
and outgoing wiring in either direction.
