EM-154Power controller / 24VDC

Product catalog summary
Features:
  • Load regulated adjustment and adjustable base level.
  • Compatible with common-negative or common-positive systems.
  • EMC tested to ensure no radio frequency interference.
  • High efficiency greater than 90% and rail mountable.
Product Description:

The EM-154 is a low voltage DC power control unit designed for series connection with loads such as incandescent lamps, resistors, and solenoids. It utilizes Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for efficient power adjustment, minimizing thermal losses. The unit can be connected to either the positive or negative side of the load and includes a base level adjustment feature to set the control start level. Multiple units can be connected in parallel for higher power applications. The output is protected against load short circuits and voltage spikes.

Technical Data:
  • Supply Voltage: 12 to 32 Vdc
  • Idle Current: Typically 2 mA
  • Maximum Load Capacity: 3 A
  • Adjustment Range: 0 to 98%
  • Base Level Adjustment: 0 to 30%
  • Operating Frequency: Typically 250 Hz
  • Recommended Load: 2 to 80 W
  • Recommended Potentiometer: 1k to 50k
  • Efficiency: Greater than 90%
  • Operating Ambient Temperature: 0 to 50°C
  • Weight: 70 g
  • EMC Standards: EN-50082, EN-50081
Installation and Usage Notes:
  • For inductive loads like solenoids or valves, use an external diode (type 1N5004) over the load.
  • If a lamp test switch is required, it should be connected over the EM-154 as illustrated in the wiring examples.
Wiring Examples:

Illustrations are provided for both common-negative and common-positive configurations, detailing the connections for power supply, load, and optional components like the lamp test switch and external diode for inductive loads.

EM-154 DIMMER / DC POWER CONTROLLER FEATURES: • Load regulated adjustment • Adjustable base level • Suitable for common-negative or commonpositive system • EMC tested ( no radio frequency interference ) • High efficiency >90% • Rail mountable EM-154 is a low voltage DC power control unit. The unit is connected in series with the load. Load can be resistive or inductive, for example incandescent lamps, resistors, solenoids. The power is adjusted with Pulse Width Modulation ( PWM ) which gives good efficiency ( low thermal losses ). The unit can be connected to (+) or to (-) side of the load. The lamp test switch is also possible to connect over the unit if needed. Unit includes also base level adjustment, which sets the start level of control. Two or more units can be connected parallel for higher power solution. The output is protected against load short circuit and line voltage spikes.
