Adjustments: 

Output  voltage  is  factory  set  to  provide  sufficient  power  to  the  motor  to  maintain  a  +5°  to  10°C 

differential above ambient temperature which is suitable for most applications. This adjustment can be used to trim 
the control as required for each application. 

 

Fusing: 

Two fuses protect the MWH. 

 

Transient Protection: 

An RC snubber circuit across  the  SCR  protects it from  rapid  rate  of  change in the  system 

voltage. A metal oxide varistor (MOV) protects the unit against voltage spikes on the line. 

 
1.4 Receiving and Unpacking

 

 

Unpacking - 

Carefully unpack the unit from the shipping carton and inspect it for shipping damages. Immediately 

report any damages to the carrier. 

 
Mounting - 

Select mounting location and make sure ambient temperature does not exceed operating range limits 

given in specifications. Allow for sufficient clearance on all sides of the unit. 

 
1.5 Dimensions

 

 

Dimensions are in inches.
