4 Mounting
4.1 General notes

Attention!
The following points must be complied with during the mechanical installation to avoid causing a defect
in the device due to assembly errors or environmental influences:

• Before installation remove the device from the packing and check for any possible shipping
damage! Start-up is not allowed in the case of transport damage!
• At a weight greater than 25 kg for men / 10 kg for women, the fan should be lifted out by two
persons (according to REFA). The values may differ from country to country.
• Wear safety shoes and gloves for handling!
• Assemble the device on a clean and stable base. Do not distort during assembly! Use the
appropriate mounting devices for proper installation of the unit!
• Do not mount equipment on vibrating base!
• When mounted onto lightweight walls, there must be no impermissibly high vibrations or shock
loads. Any banging shut of doors that are integrated into these lightweight walls, can result in
extremely high shock loads. Therefore, we advise you to decouple the devices from the wall.
• Do not allow drilling chips, screws and other foreign bodies to reach the device interior!
• The device should be installed in a location where it will not be disturbed, but at the same time can
be easily accessed!
• Depending on the housing model use supplied stoppers for cable inlets, cut off necessary cable
inlets respectively to the cable diameter. Or alternative use cable inlet for cable glands. Any cable
ducts openings not used must be sealed!
• Care must be taken to avoid direct radiation from the sun!
• The device is designed for vertical installation (bottom cable inlet). A horizontal or reclined installa-
tion is only permissible after technical release of the manufacturer!
• Be sure to observe proper heat dissipation (see Technical data, heat dissipation).

4.2 Minimum space requirement

In order to ensure sufficient ventilation of the device, clearance on all sides of at least 50 mm has to
be maintained to the housing walls, switch cabinet doors, wiring ducts, etc. The same clearance
applies to the installation of several devices next to each other.
When installing several devices on top of each other, the danger of reciprocal heating exists. This
layout is only then permissible when the air suctioned from the upper unit does not become warmer
than the permissible ambient temperature, see Technical data. I.e., a correspondingly larger clearance
or thermal shielding is required.

authorized persons using a key or special tool.
• Operating the device with the housing cover removed is prohibited because energized, exposed
parts are present inside the device. Disregarding this regulation can lead to severe personal injury.
• The required protective earth connection is established using screws between the housing parts in
metal terminal space covers and housing casings. Commissioning is only permissible after these
screws have been properly attached!
• The device owner is responsible for the EMC of the entire plant according to the locally applicable
standards.
• Metal screwed-connections are not permitted in plastic housing parts because there is no potential
equalization.

5.2 EMC-compatible installation

5.2.1 Motor cable

The applicable standard for interference emissions is EN IEC 61000-6-3. Compliance with this stand-
ard is achieved through the use of an unscreened motor feed cable.

5.2.2 Control cables

Pay attention to sufficient distance from powerlines and motor wires to prevent interferences. The
control cable may not be longer than 30 m. Screened control cables must be used when the cable
length is longer than 20 m. When using a shielded cable connect the shielding to one side only, i.e.
only to the control unit with the protective ground (keep cable short and with as little inductance as
possible!).

5.2.3 Harmonics current for devices ≤ 16 A

According to EN 61000-3-2 these devices are to be classified as “professional” devices.
Connection to a low voltage supply (public networks) is allowed insofar as this has been clarified with
the respective energy supply company responsible.
Note: up to a maximum current of approx. 4 A, the limits are adhered to with no restrictions.
Exception for Germany: An energy provider follows the technical connection conditions of the
TAB2007, in which case the use of phase angle controlled devices up to a rating of 3.4 kVA per phase
is allowed.

5.3 Mains connection

The mains connection is made at the terminals: PE, L1 and N. In this regard, it is essential to ensure
that the mains voltage lies within the allowable tolerance specifications (see technical data and rating
plate affixed to the side).
Danger due to electric current
The mains voltage must comply with the DIN EN 50160 quality characteristics and the defined
standard voltages in IEC 60038!

5.4 Motor connection

The motor is connected at terminals U1 and U2. Several motors can be connected to the device.

Attention
The maximum total control current (specified for electronic voltage regulation) for all motors may not
exceed the device’s rated current.
If the maximum control current for electronic voltage regulation is not known, a supplementary 20 % of
the rated motor current must be allowed for.
When controlling motors from other manufacturers, the controllability and the maximum current for
electronic voltage regulation should be requested from the manufacturer.

Information
• It is recommended that a separate motor protection unit be foreseen for each fan.
• For motors with thermistors “TB” e.g. type S-ET10.

5.4.1 Running noise

When controlling ventilators using electronic voltage regulators, motor noise can occur (due to the
system), which can be troublesome (Phase cutting = series “P...”).
On fast running ventilators with a high level of air noise, this noise is relatively low. On slow running
ventilators with a low level of air noise, this noise may be dominant in the lower speed range due to
the occurrence of resonance.
For systems where noise is critical, we recommend using our Fcontrol series frequency converters
with integrated sinusoidal filter.

Operating Instructions Acontrol – model series PXET6Q / PXET10Q Electrical installation

5.5 Motor protection

The motor can be protected by connecting thermostats “TB”.
When multiple motors are connected, it is essential to ensure that thermostats “TB” are always
connected in series.
If a connected thermostat is tripped (break between the two terminals “TB”), the device is switched off
and is not switched back on.
Relais “K1” is de-energized, terminals “11” - “12” bridged. The signal lamp flashes in code |1 | (see
Diagnostics / faults).

Possibilities for re-starting after the drive has cooled down (terminals “TB” bridged) by:
• By switching the mains voltage off and then on again.
• Via a digital input for remote control (ON / OFF enable).
Attention!
• An outside voltage may never be connected to the terminals “TB”!
• If a bypass circuit is installed, or in the “100 %” position on devices with a main switch, the motor
protection inside the controller has no function. In this case, additional motor monitoring may be
required.

5.6 Signal or sensor connection (E1 = Analog In 1)

The unit has one-analog input: terminals “E1” / “GND” (Analog In 1).
The connection is independent of the programmed operating mode and from the sensor signal
employed.
The internal jumpers must be placed in correct position depending on input signal. Factory setting 0 -
10 V.
• When connecting passive temperature sensors TF.. (KTY81-210) must be paid attention to no
polarity.
• When connecting active sensors attention must be paid to correct polarity, a 24 V DC power supply
is integrated.
• For sensors in two-wire-technology (4 - 20 mA signal), the connection is made on the “+24 V” and
“E1” (“GND” terminal is omitted).
Over DIP 4 an inverting of the input is possible for mode 1.01 speed controller.
• DIP 4 = |OFF | (factory setting) for signals: 0 - 10 V, 2 - 10 V, 0 - 20 mA, 4 - 20 mA
• DIP 4 = |ON | for signals: 10 - 0 V, 10 - 2 V, 20 - 0 mA, 20 - 4 mA
Attention!
Never apply line voltage to analog inputs!

5.7 Output voltage 0 - 10 V (A1 = Analog Out 1)

Connection to terminals “A1” - “GND” = “Analog Out 1” (Imax 10 mA).
It is not permissible to connect outputs of several devices to each other!

For mode speed controller 1.01 function of signal output A1 (Analog Out 1) can be determined
by DIP 8.

DIP 8 = |OFF | Constant voltage + 10 V for external potentiometer (factory setting)

DIP 8 = |ON | 0 - 10 V modulation 0 - 100 %
• Proportional the internal control of modulation with consideration “n-min” and “n-max”

• For enable “OFF” it goes not back to“0 V”.
• For motor fault the output signal remains for a slave controller (“Master-Slave” combina-
tion).

L-BAL-E016-GB 2024/23 Index 009 Part.-No.

• Proportional the internal control of modulation with consideration “n-min” and “n-max”
setting.
• For enable “OFF” it goes back to “0 V”.
• For motor fault the output signal remains for a slave controller (“Master-Slave” combina-
tion).

Information
For operation as P-Controller or PI-Controller function “constant voltage” cannot be selected!
For operation as P-Controller or PI-Controller function for |D1 | can be selected with DIP 8!

5.8 Voltage supply for external devices (+24V, GND)

A voltage supply is integrated for external devices e.g. a sensor (max. current load see technical
data).
In case of overload or short circuit (24 V – GND), the external power supply is shut down (multi-fuse).
The device performs a Reset and continues operation.
Attention!
• Never connect the voltage outputs of several devices together!
• Never connect voltage outputs in the device to each other!
5.9 Digital input (Digital In 1 = D1)
Activation via floating contacts, a low voltage of approx. 24 V DC is connected.

Attention!
No disconnection (isolation) when turned off, in accordance with VBG4 §6)!
Never apply line voltage to the digital input!
It is not permissible to connect inputs of several devices to each other!

5.9.1 Enable, device ON / OFF

Electronic disconnection and Reset after motor fault via floating contact at terminals “D1” -
“D1”
• Device “ON” for closed contact.
• Device “OFF” with opened contact.
• Relais “K1” remains energized, terminals 12 - 14 bridged. The signal lamp flashes in code |1 | (see
Diagnostics / faults)

5.9.2 Reverse action of control function (only for P-Controller / PI-Controller)

For operation as P-Controller or PI-Controller 2.01 , 3.01 , 4.01 . Digital input can used instead for
enable, alternative for reverse of control function (DIP 8 = |ON | ).
For the effect of the regulation there are two functions:
• “Val > Set = n+” increasing modulation for increasing actual value over setpoint.
• “Val < Set = n+” increasing modulation for decreasing actual value below setpoint.
When terminals “D1” - “D1” bridged, the device works with the opposite function than the one set with
DIP 4!

5.10 Relay outputs (K1)

An external fault indicator is available over the potential-free contacts of the built-in relay (max. contact
rating Technical data and connection diagram).
For operation the relay is energized, terminals “12” and “14” are bridged. For fault the relay is de-
energized, terminals “11” and “12” are bridged ( Diagnostics / faults).

• By sensor failure (only in P-Control or PI-Control operation 2.01 , 3.01 , 4.01 ) message only via
flash code of signal lamp (code |3 | ), the relay remains energized.
• When switching off via enable (D1 = Digital In 1), the relay remains energized.

5.11 Potential at control voltage connections

The30connections30for the control voltage (< 30 V) relate to the common GND potential (exception:
relay contacts are potential-free). There is a potential isolation between the connections for the control
voltage and the PE conductor. It must be ensured that the maximum external voltage at the con-
nections for the control voltage cannot exceed 30 V (between the GND and PE conductor terminals). A
connection to the PE conductor potential can be made if required; fit a bridge between the GND
terminal and the PE connection (terminal for shield).

7.6 Hardstart function DIP 6

Special function for motorstart with maximum output voltage.

DIP 6 = |OFF | “Hardstart” function = OFF (factory setting).

After switching the mains voltage on the output voltage rises during the firmly programmed
run-up time to the given value.
DIP 6 = |ON | “Hardstart” function = ON.
For a safe starting of the connected fans the function “Hard start” can be activated.
After switching on (line voltage or enable via digital input “D1”) the controller generates for
approx. 10 seconds max. voltage “100 %” ignoring any control or sensor signal.
Afterwards the output voltage adjusts itself to the given or over the control amplifier calculated
value.
For operation as controller(from mode 2.01 ) the “Hard start” function works also by switching
over the control function (“Heating” / “Cooling”).

11.1.1 Performance reduction during elevated ambient temperatures

The maximum permissible temperature for the rated current at rated voltage is specified as rated
temperature.
Since the dissipation of the power loss (heat development) in the device is decisively dependent on
the ambient temperature, the max. load must be reduced at an ambient temperature above the rated
temperature (see following table)!
The average value measured during a 24 h period must be 5 K under the max. ambient temperature.
For installation in a switch cabinet, the device’s dissipation and its possible affect on the ambient
temperature must be taken into consideration!
