SCR
The Price SCR Controller is a Silicon
Controlled Rectifier that provides
proportional modulation to the output over
its full operating range. The SCR acts like
an electronic switch that turns on and off
large amounts of power to the load (heater).
The Price SCR uses a Zero Crossing feature
that allows a soft start of the electronic load,
which eliminates power surges.
Features
• Power requirements – 24 VAC, polarity
sensitive.
• Large, finned aluminum Heat Sink to
provide proper heat dissipation.
• Load Power ranging from 120 VAC
to 480 VAC, and a current rating
up to 25 or 45 amps (depending on
model). Multiple Control Input signals

Benefits of SCR
• Proportional modulation of the heater
maintains set-point more accurately
than on/off control, providing maximum
comfort in the space.
• Energy efficient by avoiding overshooting
and undershooting and reduces
operation costs.
• Quiet operation of solid state relays

option is a Price exclusive feature which
provides all of the advantages and benefits
of SCR control plus an electronic flow
sensor.
Benefits of Electronic Air Flow Sensor
The air flow sensor responds to radiant
heat of the heating element which, in turn,
is influenced by the air flowing through the
heater to dissipate the heat. The patented
air flow sensor and associated electronic
controller modulate the power to the heater,
adjusting the heater’s capacity to match
the air flow available. This unique concept
allows the heater to respond exactly to the
quantity of air flowing through it as well
as safely shut down in case of a total loss
of air flow. Electronic Modulating Controller
(EMC)
Note: The air flow sensor overrides the
temperature control to match the heating
capacity to the air flow available.
Since the electronic flow sensor responds
to radiant heat as opposed to duct pressure,
it eliminates the problem of low air flow or
duct static pressure switches, and ensures
safe operation of heaters at flows as low as
can be set by conventional controls.

Selection Guidelines

Electric Coil Selection
When selecting electric coils, the following
points should be considered:
1. Once the design air flow has been
determined refer to the appropriate
air flow limits to select the size of unit
required to deliver the specified air flow.
2. With size and air flow known, electric
reheat capacity can be calculated. Refer
to the electric coil selection procedure
below for details.

4. Select coil options.

How to Use the Chart

Electric Coil Selection Procedure Reheat Selection Chart
The selection of an electric coil for a single
duct terminal unit requires the determination
of the two components of the heat loss. One
component is the heat required to satisfy the
space load. The second component is the
heat required to raise the temperature of
the primary air to that of the space. This can
be determined as follows, using the Electric
Reheat Selection Chart and the equation as
given below.
1. Locate the room heat loss on the MBH
scale on the far left side of the chart.
Convert to kW by moving horizontally to
the right to the kW scale (1 kW = 3.413
MBH).
2. Calculate the kW required to heat the
primary air to room temperature using
the following equation:
kW = cfm x 1.08 x ∆T
3413
3. Add the kW value obtained in step 2
to the kW scale at the left side. Move
horizontally to the right to the point
where the kW value and the air flow
volume intersect.
4. With the point of intersection from step
three, the air temperature rise (ATR), can
be obtained by interpolating between
the air temperature rise lines on the
graph. Selection Example 5. Leaving air temperature = 58
5. To verify the selection, sum the air Select electric coil for a size 12 in. with a °F + 40 °F = 98 °F. Since the leaving
