Description
The Infresco 18kW 3-Channel Controller is a high-performance power control solution designed for commercial and industrial infrared heating systems. It offers versatile compatibility with single-phase or 3-phase supply (with neutral reference). Built to meet modern EMC standards, it provides flicker-free, noise-suppressed operation, even under high inrush loads.
Engineered for compatibility with HMI/D-A units or direct DC input (0–25V, 0–10V, 5kΩ pot.), this controller offers flexible integration into heating systems for precise output control across multiple infrared lamps or heater batteries.
