There is a triac built into all standard Adax heaters.
This must receive a trigger signal to switch on the heater element.
When using a central thermostat, this will switch the mains voltage on and off.
An electronic ballast (a self-starter) is required to activate the triac in the heater and switch
on the heater element. The SLX is such a module. The SLX detects whether the central
thermostat is switching the mains voltage on or off and then switches the heater triac on and
off at the same time.
NB: Some electronic thermostats require a certain base load to operate. The SLX may not
provide a high enough load.
How the SLX works
When the SLX is plugged into
Adax heaters, they can be used
as slave heaters. The SLX
registers when the central room
thermostat is on and the
operating voltage is being
supplied.
The SLX will then send a signal
to each heater's built-in triac
that connects the heater
element in Adax heaters with
SLX, instructing it to switch on
and off synchronously with the
central room thermostat.
