When the starter has to be protected against over-temperature, over-current or short circuit, it is
recommended to implement a thermal fuse in series with the starter.
To meet (IEC 926) standards, a capacitor (f.i. 5nF) can be connected between pin 3 and pin 4 of the ASD.
BOARD ASSEMBLY
PCB with Pentawatt HV and SO14
DRILL and CUT the track
for SHORT preheat -->
for LONG preheat -->
Pin 2 is the preheat time select pin. To select a short preheat time, drill to cut the Vcc to pin 2 track at the
metallic hole. To select a long preheat time, drill to cut the GND to pin 2 track. The layout must be
configured for either choice to avoid supply short circuit.
