Product description
Control your ventilation with our LTV Potentiometer, a straight forward 0-10 V device designed for optimal control of EC fan speed, AC fan speed controllers or valve actuators.
Operating at a supply voltage of 230 VAC, the LTV potentiometer delivers a variable output signal ranging from 0 to 10 VDC, easily adjustable via its user-friendly rotary knob. This knob features a distinctive off-position, ensuring a seamless transition to zero output in a simple turn.
The splash-proof enclosure further enhances its adaptability, allowing for both inset mounting (IP44) and surface mounting (IP54), making it a reliable choice for diverse installation needs.
When you turn the rotary knob clockwise, the output voltage goes above 0 V. At this point, the green LED lights up, indicating the system is active and not in the "off" position. If the system is in the "off" position (meaning the output voltage is at 0 V), the green LED turns off. This clearly shows the system is inactive.

Additional specifications and description
The LTV-1-010-NA potentiometer is developed to control fans equipped with an EC motor or to be used as an input device for fan speed controllers with 0 –10 VDC inputs (Sentera’s EVS or MVS series of fan speed controllers or FI-E series of variable frequency drives). Connecting and using the LTV-1-010-NA is simplified in such a way that it is intuitive and does not require special tools or in-depth knowledge.
What is the supply voltage?

What are the limits of the control signal?
The 0 - 10 VDC control signal is a prevalent method in the HVAC industry for regulating parameters like EC fan speed or valve positions. Representing a range of desired settings, the 0 - 10 VDC signal corresponds to modulation from 0 % to 100 % of the parameter. A 0 V signal signifies the minimum setting, while a 10 V signal denotes the maximum, providing versatile control possibilities.
What does the OFF position do?
The rotary knob of the LTV-1-010-NA has an OFF position, i.e. when the rotary knob is turned completely counterclockwise, the control signal will be disabled. When the rotary knob is turned clockwise, it clicks out of the OFF position. The control signal will immediately go to its low limit level. In case an EC fan is connected to the potentiometer, it will start and accelerate towards low speed.
The green LED operating indicator lights up when the rotary knob is turned clockwise, i.e. when not in the OFF position. In OFF position the green LED is deactivated.
What makes the enclosure reliable?
In order to guarantee the quality of its enclosures, Sentera designs and manufactures them in its own factory – Sentera Plastics. The enclosure of the LTV-1-010-NA is a wall-mounted housing made of durable ASA plastic in a cream color (RAL 9010). The material offers UV resistance and protection against dust, water splashes and impacts. The design supports two-in-one installation on walls or panels, accommodating both inset and surface mounting options. With IP44 for inset mounting and IP54 for surface mounting, the enclosure reliably shields internal components from environmental elements.
The design aligns with standard European wall boxes for seamless inset mounting, and its overall solidity suits various wall types. The combination of material and design features enhances durability and suitability for diverse HVAC environments. Cleaning is simple, requiring only a damp cloth, contributing to maintenance convenience.
