100 Amp Cronos Current Interrupter Unit (GPS)

Please note: this item is no longer available for purchase.

Our Cronos Current Interrupters feature rugged outdoor durability, precision timing, and a long battery life in a portable package.

This Cronos 100 Amp Controller Unit couples with our external 100 Amp Relay Unit (Item #12965) with it's own independent heat sink to allow an increase in current rating.

Features
  • Rugged M. C. Miller Co. design, highly reliable, easy to operate and very competitively priced
  • Precision clock-timing even with an intermittent view of the GPS satellites
  • Two (2) years of continuous (current interruption) operation on a single set of replaceable 3.6V "D" cell batteries - no need to recharge the unit every few days (see NOTE below)
Additional Information
  • Easy to program via a PC or can "quick select" on the built-in keypad
  • Integrates with 100 Amp relay (external relay) rated at 120 V AC/DC
  • Solid-state (non-polarity dependent) relay - no unit orientation or polarity concerns
  • Only 1mV dropped across the relay per Amp - both small and large currents can be interrupted
  • Fully-automated current-interruption programs can be started in the field with the push of a single button

NOTE: The 100 Amp Cronos Control Unit requires the separate purchase of the 100 Amp Relay Item #12965 to complete the 100 Amp Cronos kit.

NOTE: Although the batteries are the same physical size as regular “D” cell batteries, they are 3.6V, rather than the standard 1.5 V “D” cells. The 3.6 V “D” cells (19 Ah capacity) are available from M. C. Miller (see 'Replacement Parts')

Notice: This device contains a lithium battery and according to FAA/IATA regulations, should not be placed in checked baggage. For more information, go to: FAA.Gov/PackSafe

  • Maximum Current: 100 Amps at 120V (12,000 watts) external relay
  • Maximum Working Voltage: 170V DC (either polarity), 120Vrms (50/60Hz)
  • Voltage Drop: 11.1mV per Amp Suitable for interrupting low Voltage bonds and anodes
  • Overload Protection: 75kW(10/100µs); 500kW(8/20µs) 1.2kA peak @ clamp voltage. Auto thermal shutdown at 221°F (105°C).
  • Isolation to ground: 12,000 Volts
  • Power Consumption: Runs on 2 "D" Cell batteries (3.6V, 19Ah)
  • Battery-life: Depends on programmable settings - 2 years continuous operation typical on default settings.
  • Time Standards: UTC (default) or GPS; Synchronization @ 00.00 (default) or @ start time; Local –Offset; user defined to ensure consistency
  • Clock/Interruption Accuracy: 1ms max. deviation with satellites in view, 0.5 ms per hour without satellites in view. Re-acquires precision time when satellites return to view
  • Temperature compensated range: -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to +85°C)
  • Temperature Range: Relay Operation: -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to +85°C)
  • LCD Operation: -4°F to 158°F (-20°C to +70°C)
  • Dimensions: Control Unit: 9.0in x 11.0in x 3.0in (22.86cm x 27.94cm x 7.62cm)
  • Relay Unit: 13.5in x 7in x 4in (34.29cm x 17.78cm x 10.16cm)
  • Weight: Control Unit is 5.6lbs (2.54kg)
  • Relay Unit: 19.4lbs (8.8kg)
Multiple Unit Programming:
  • Cronos PC software allows personal settings to be created and saved for future download to Cronos units, or a "master" Cronos unit can be used to automatically program other Cronos units.
Setup Options:
  • On/Off 0.1 to 99 sec. 0.1 sec increments
  • Start and stop date and time
  • Begin cycle with relay open or closed
  • Close relay at end of work day
  • Start cycle at beginning of work day
  • Switching offsets ±500ms (both On-to-Off and Off-to-On) – allows for use of other relay types.

The Cronos Software application allows personal settings to be created and saved for future download to Cronos units, or a "master" Cronos unit can be used to automatically program other Cronos units.
