Product Information
Full details
The UCI UVR/S is a professional-grade AC regulator designed specifically for commercial kitchen environments, making it ideal for chefs and kitchen managers looking to precisely control the heat or light output of their gantry systems. Its primary benefit is the ability to manage loads of up to 17A, allowing for fine-tuned temperature regulation of food warmers to maintain optimal serving conditions. A key caveat is that installation involves high-voltage electrical work, requiring a qualified professional to ensure safety and code compliance.

FAQs
What is the maximum load the UVR/S can handle?
The UCI UVR/S is rated for a maximum load of 17A.
Can I install this switch myself?
No. Due to the high voltage involved in catering gantry circuits, installation must be performed by a qualified electrician.
Is this unit compatible with LED lights?
The UVR/S is an AC regulator designed primarily for heating elements and traditional lighting; it may not be compatible with all electronic LED drivers.
Where should the dimmer be mounted?
It should be mounted in a standard electrical housing or control box that is accessible to kitchen staff but protected from direct steam and excessive grease splatter.
Does the unit get hot during operation?
It is normal for electrical regulators to warm up during heavy usage. However, if the unit becomes excessively hot to the touch, verify that the ventilation around the control box is adequate.
Troubleshooting
The gantry lights or heaters are not turning on.
Check the main circuit breaker and verify that the input power to the dimmer is active. Ensure all wiring terminals are secure.
The output power does not change when the dial is turned.
The internal potentiometer or control board may be faulty. Consult a technician to test the unit for continuity.
There is a buzzing sound coming from the unit.
This can indicate a loose connection or an overloaded circuit. Verify the total amperage load does not exceed 17A.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical safety regulations. Before installation, confirm that the total wattage of your gantry lighting or heating elements does not exceed the 17A threshold of the device. Ensure that all electrical connections are tightened to prevent arcing or heat buildup within the junction box. Regarding care, regularly inspect the control knob and surrounding panel for grease accumulation, as excessive buildup can impede the movement of the dial. Use a clean, dry, or lightly dampened non-abrasive cloth to wipe the exterior of the switch. Never use harsh chemical cleaners or water sprays directly on the unit, as this may compromise internal electrical components.
