Datasheet
3-speed fan control switch | OFF position
Product description
SMTN1-30-4C is a control switch designed for manual control of single-phase multi-stage or multi-speed motors. It is a passive switch that operates without an external power supply. The switch distributes the mains voltage to different outputs according to the selected switch position.
It features an OFF position and three outputs, allowing the supplied 230 VAC to be switched to one of the three terminal blocks. This provides three speed steps for controlling multi-speed fans.
The enclosure is suitable for both inset (IP44) and surface mounting (IP54).
Additional specifications and description
How to Control a 3-Speed AC Fan?
A 3-speed motor has three connection points on the main motor winding. The power can be connected to one of these three points. The motor speed depends on the used connection point. The controller for a 3-speed motor will therefore connect the line voltage to one of these three contacts.
How Does the Switch Work?
The switch is designed to manually control the speed of three-speed fans. The working principle of these 3-step control switches is to connect the 230 VAC mains to either the start winding of the motor or to one of the connection points on the main winding of the motor. So the 230 VAC is connected to only one of the three contacts. This allows you to adjust the fan speed from minimum to maximum in 3 steps.
In the HVAC electronics sector, manual switches for 3-speed fans are common components. These switches have multiple positions to control the fan speed, allowing users to choose between low, medium and high settings.
Our manual switch is designed to provide users with an easy-to-connect and intuitive solution for regulating the speed of 3-speed fans. With clearly marked settings, users can effortlessly toggle between low, medium, and high fan speeds, allowing for precise adjustment based on comfort and environmental needs.
How Are Some Fan Speed Controllers Controlled If They Don't Have a Knob?
Some manually controlled fan speed controllers may not feature the standard knob on their enclosure but can be controlled remotely instead. In such cases, you will have to connect an external device (switch) such as this SMTN1-30. So, the controller can be installed in a technical room or any appropriate location, where you will not hear the noises it produces, while the switch for controlling it can be close to you, so that you can easily control the ventilation according to your needs.
What Are the Typical Applications of This Product?
The series is developed to switch AC fans or AC fan speed controllers. AC motors run on an alternating current and convert alternating current into mechanical power. This means the series is suitable only for multi-speed (or multi-stage) motors. If you are not sure about your motor type, we strongly advise you to read carefully its accompanying documentation or contact the motor manufacturer.
What Makes the Enclosure Reliable?
The enclosure of SMTN1-30 is made of solid white ASA plastic. It is a UV resistant material and protects the electronics against dust, water and impacts. But its most important characteristics is featuring both flush and wall mounting. It can be installed in any kind of wall – gypsum board, brick or wooden panel. No need to look for different product versions.
If you choose the flush mounting option, it fits perfectly the standard European box and blends in the background. The protection class is IP44 for flush and IP54 for surface mounting. It is very easy to clean using only a damp cloth.
Crafted with durability in mind, our manual control switch features a robust build that ensures reliability in diverse HVAC applications. The switch is engineered to withstand the demands of continuous operation, providing users with a dependable solution for their fan control needs.
