(switched 110v) UVR/S Variable AC regulator Gantry Dimmer Switch

(switched 110v) UVR/S Variable AC regulator Gantry Dimmer Switch Description

Our UVR/S Variable AC Regulator Dimmer Control is specifically designed for commercial kitchen environments, providing smooth and accurate control of catering heat lamps. By adjusting the voltage output, the unit allows you to fine-tune heat levels for consistent food holding temperatures and improved energy efficiency.

Available in 230VAC or 110VAC single-phase versions, the UVR/S supports a maximum load current of 17A, making it suitable for demanding catering and light industrial applications.

Key Features

• Precise Temperature Control Adjustable output from 098% voltage range for accurate heat management

• 17A Maximum Load Capacity Handles up to 4000W (with correct heat sink and thermal paste applied)

• High Inrush Capability Large in-house triac designed to manage high startup currents

• Smooth Power Regulation Phase-angle control reduces the on/off blinking effect common with standard switching

• Compact Design Easy front panel mounting via single hole and locknut fixing

• Direct Replacement for QVR/S units

How It Works

The UVR/S operates on the same principle as a traditional light dimmer. It regulates power by phase-angle control, effectively slicing the AC waveform to reduce delivered power. This provides smooth heat adjustment without the harsh on/off cycling that can shorten lamp life or cause temperature fluctuations.

Applications

Suitable for commercial catering and light industrial equipment, including:

• Heated Serving Counters

• Bain Marie Units

• Hot Food Cupboards

• Heated Gantries

• Quartz / Infrared Heat Lamps

• Ovens

• Moulders

• Dryers

• Heating Elements

• Some inductive loads (e.g., transformers and certain motors)

Commonly used in catering equipment and infrared heating systems, including vacuum forming machinery, where stable and flicker-free heat control is essential.

Specifications

• Supply Voltage: 110VAC or 230VAC (Single Phase)

• Maximum Load: 17A

• Maximum Power: Up to 4000W (with appropriate heat sinking)

• Dimensions (L x W x H): 60 x 55 x 33mm

• Knob Height: 15mm

The UVR/S Variable AC Regulator is a reliable, easy-to-install solution for applications where simple, effective power control is required delivering consistent performance in professional kitchen and industrial heating environments.
