DIGICONTROL 22A- M/T Power Regulator for IR-A and IR-B Infrared Lamps

DIGICONTROL 22A M/T is a professional multifunction power regulator designed for the advanced control of short-wave and medium-wave infrared heaters . The device integrates a 22A static relay and is specifically developed to manage infrared lamps with high initial consumption , ensuring control stability and load protection.

Thanks to its two programmable control systems— phase angle and fast zero crossing with preheating—the DIGICONTROL 22A M/T ensures precise power regulation , improving the longevity of infrared lamps and system reliability. The percentage power management in 20 linearized current steps makes the regulator suitable for continuous professional applications on industrial infrared heating systems.

Technical Specifications

The DIGICONTROL 22A M/T power regulator is powered at 240V 50Hz and integrates a 22A 230/400Vac static relay , suitable for controlling industrial single-phase loads. The power section uses a 40A 800V triac with high i2t capacity , designed to withstand the inrush currents typical of short-wave infrared lamps. Cooling is provided by an internal 5V DC fan , essential for ensuring continuous operation up to an ambient temperature of 45°C .

The DIGICONTROL 22A M/T operates on a 0–100% control range divided into 20 steps , with linear current management. Settings are stored on E2PROM, ensuring parameter retention even in the event of a power failure. The device supports an external enable contact, ideal for integration with industrial thermostats or line enable systems.

Functional Specifications

Phase angle control for infrared lamps

The DIGICONTROL 22A M/T's phase angle mode uses a 300 ms soft start , with an auto soft start function in the event of a momentary power failure. This management drastically reduces initial electrical stress, making the controller ideal for high-power professional infrared heaters.

Fast zero crossing with controlled preheating

The fast zero-cross function with phase-angle preheat maintains the load for 5 seconds before switching to zero-cross control with a 400 ms cycle. This mode optimizes energy efficiency and load stability, making it particularly suitable for medium-wave industrial infrared lamps.

Percentage power adjustment in 20 steps

The DIGICONTROL 22A M/T power regulator allows immediate power adjustment via UP and DOWN buttons , with direct display . Percentage control with 20 linearized current steps allows for rapid and repeatable setting, essential in professional infrared heating systems.

Load protection and increased lamp life

Thanks to its soft start function, the DIGICONTROL 22A M/T reduces starting current peaks , significantly improving the operating life of infrared lamps. This feature makes the regulator a reliable solution for high-duty industrial applications.

Integration into industrial electrical panels

Designed for installation in professional electrical panels, the DIGICONTROL 22A M/T requires adequate heat exchange to keep the internal temperature below 45°C . The presence of the external enable contact allows for safe and coordinated control of multiple regulators, optimizing the management of complex industrial infrared heating systems.
