rial feed rates. The CRSDC-2C
F-88 24 W 24 H 14 D 72
Series controls are the standard for
Syntron Heavy-Duty Electro-
magnetic Feeders. They operate
on half-wave rectification of AC
power and provide adjustable
control with a 10:1 turndown
ratio. CRSDC-2C controls contain
an SCR (silicon controlled rectifi-
er) and produce 3600 vibrations
per minute at 60 Hz operation.
These compact controls con-
form to National Electrical Man-
ufacturers Association (NEMA)
standards and are CSA approved.
They are designed for easy servic-
ing or part replacement.
In addition to the standard
features, a wide range of optional CRSDC-2C Series Electromagnetic Feeder Control
functions are available for the
CRSDC-2C series controls. Basic
control arrangements are des-
cribed on the next page.
