Additional specifications and description

Why is Controlled Fan Speed Essential for Comfort and Efficiency?
Fans are often too big to run at full speed. An AC fan speed controller can be used to reduce fan speed and to optimize the supply of fresh air. Too much ventilation is not a problem for the indoor air quality. In many cases, excessively high fan speeds cause noise problems in the air ducts. The higher the fan speed, the higher its energy consumption. Reducing the fan speed by 25% results in energy savings through reduced operating costs of more than 50%. In some ventilation systems, heating costs can also be reduced thanks to an optimal fan speed.
 
How Does This Controller Regulate AC Fan Speed?
This fan speed controller regulates the speed of AC fans by reducing the motor voltage. The voltage is reduced via phase angle control (TRIAC technology). This speed controller is therefore only suitable for voltage controllable motors. If you are not sure whether your motor is voltage controllable, it is best to contact the motor manufacturer. This speed controller is completely silent. With the rotary knob on the front panel, the fan speed can be controlled. Depending on the motor type, a humming motor noise may occur at low speed.
 
How is Minimum Fan Speed Optimized and Why is it Important?
The minimum selectable motor speed can be adjusted via an internal trimmer. This makes it possible to optimize the fan speed range that can be selected via the knob on the front panel. Some AC motors cannot withstand prolonged operation at low speeds. There is a risk that they will overheat after a while. This can damage the winding insulation and cause permanent motor damage. To avoid overheating, the minimum motor speed can be increased. The motor manufacturer specifies the minimum permissible motor voltage of a voltage controllable motor.
 
What Is the Purpose and Application of the Unregulated Output?
When the motor is enabled, the unregulated output is active. Because this output is either ON (230 Volt) or OFF (0 Volt), it is called ‘unregulated output'. The maximum current of this output is 2 A. It is typically used to control an external run-indicator, to open or close a damper, to switch an external relay, etc.
E.g. when the fan stops, the damper is closed. When the fan is active, the damper is open.
 
What Are the Different Motor Start Modes Available?
Kick start and soft start are two different ways to start the motor. The difference is in the way the AC fan will accelerate from a standstill. Kick start or soft start acceleration  mode can be selected via an internal jumper. Kick start will start the motor immediately at maximum speed. After 8 – 10 seconds, the motor will decelerate towards the requested fan speed. Soft start will smoothly accelerate the motor from standstill towards the requested fan speed. This acceleration time will be approximately 8 – 10 seconds.

How Does the ON/OFF Switch Function and Can It Be Disabled?
With the illuminated ON/OFF switch on the side, the AC fan can be activated or deactivated. In ON position, the switch is illuminated. Please refer to the manual for more details. 

What Are the Installation Guidelines and Enclosure Features?
This fan speed controller can be installed on a wall or panel indoors. Make sure that the fan speed controller can cool sufficiently. Preferably install it in a cool place, best not in direct sunlight. The enclosure is made of high-quality r-ABS VO (UL94) plastic. This material is flame extinguishing, very tough and offers good protection against impacts. It offers an IP54 protection against the ingress of dust and water.
