Penn P216 User manual

These controllers are designed for speed variation of single
phase motors, especially for fan speed control on air cooled
condensers. Head pressure control of a refrigeration system,
through speed variation of the fan on an air-cooled condenser,
results in optimum performance throughout the year.
Using a pressure transducer as the input device to the fan
speed controller, gives the most direct and fastest response
to pressure variations in the refrigerant system. The controller
varies the supply voltage to the motor from 20% to 100%
over the proportional band using the phase cutting principle.
If the pressure drops below the adjusted setpoint minus the
proportional band, the output to the motor is zero volt or the
adjusted min. speed setting. This provides speed variation of
permanent split capacitor or shaded pole motors which do not
draw more than 12 A (rms) full load current.
The controller used for dual pressure input varies the fan speed
by directly sensing the pressure changes of two separate
refrigerant circuits. The setpoint of each pressure transducer
can be separately adjusted. The controller selects the input with
the greatest cooling demand to control the fan speed.
The transducers can be used in non-corrosive refrigerant
systems.
The motor manufacturer should have approved his product for
this speed control principle. It is recommended to conrm with
the electric motor manufacturer, that the motor can be used
with a controller, using the phase cutting principle for speed
variation.
You can also provide a copy of this P216 product data sheet to
the motor manufacturer/supplier for review.

Installation
The P216 can be used for single or dual pressure input.
In the case of dual input the controller selects the input with the greater cooling demand to control the fan speed.
There are four pressure ranges:
• 4 to 10 bar
• 8 to 14 bar
• 14 to 24 bar
• 22 to 42 bar

Wiring
WARNING: Risk of electric shock.
Disconnect or isolate all power supplies before
making electrical connections. More than one
disconnect or isolation may be required to
completely de-energize equipment. Contact with components
carrying hazardous voltage can cause electric shock and may
result in severe personal injury or death.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect supply power to the P216
Series controller before finishing wiring and checking all wiring
connections. Short circuits or improperly connected wires can
result in damage to the P216 series controller and void any
warranty.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the P216 Series Fan Speed
Controller electrical ratings. Exceeding P216 Series controller
electrical ratings can result in permanent damage to the P216
Series controller and void any warranty.
IMPORTANT: Use copper conductors only. Make all wiring in
accordance with local, national, and regional regulations.
IMPORTANT: Electrostatic discharge can damage P216
controller components. Use proper Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD) precautions during installation and servicing to avoid
damaging P216 components.
• Ensure that the wires between the P216 Series
controller and the fan motor do not exceed 15 m.
• Wires connected to the line-voltage terminal block must
be 3.31 mm2(12 AWG) or smaller.
• Low-voltage wires must be less than 30 m.
Description
A DIP switch will be used to select one of 4 different
pressure ranges. There is one potentiometer to manually
adjust the setpoint.
• There is one potentiometer to manually adjust the
minimum speed.
• A green LED will indicate that power is applied.
• Two 3 position screw terminal blocks will be used to
connect the 50 bar transducers.
• A 3 position screw terminal block will be used to select
HP or reverse modes.
Contacts between HP and C will run the fan at full speed.
Contacts between REV and C will increase the fan speed
as pressure decreases.

CAUTION
The P216 is intended to control equipment under
normal operating conditions. Where failure or
malfunction of the P216 could lead to an abnormal
operating condition that could cause personal injury or
damage to the equipment or other property, other devices
(limit or safety controls) or systems (alarm or supervisory
systems) intended to warn of or protect against failure or
malfunction of the P216 must be incorporated into and
maintained as part of the control system.
EMC
The controller does have a built-in suppression lter
and meets all required EC directives. Please note that
when two or more EMC compliant components are built
together the total system may not be compliant. To make
the total system compliant is the responsibility of the
producer.
Note:More motors can be wired in parallel, provided that
the total current will not exceed 12 A rms.
Input connections
The input can be connected as indicated in Figure 1.
If the distance between the transducer and the controller
exceeds 30 metres, shielded cable has to be used.

When switch 3 is set to ON, the slave mode is selected and the setpoint potentiometer denes the input voltage level that
causes the motor to run at full speed.
For example:
• If the 2–10 Vdc setpoint range is selected and the setpoint potentiometer is adjusted completely to "+", then the motor
will run at full speed when Vin = 10 Vdc.
• If the setpoint potentiometer is adjusted midway between "-" and "+", then the motor will run at full speed when Vin = 6,0 Vdc
(see Figure 3).

Adjust the setpoint potentiometer to
20 Bar (which is 60% rotation from
the "-" or CCW end of the setpoint
potentiometer).
Adjust the minimum speed potentiometer
completely CCW (to set the minimum

P216 series controllers are designed to reference either
one or two Johnson Controls P499 electronic pressure
transducers to monitor condenser pressure.
On P216 series controller applications that use two P499
transducers, the P216 series controller always references
the transducer that is sensing the highest pressure.
IMPORTANT
Operate the P216 only in combination with one or
two P499-VCS-405C pressure transmitters.
Only P499 models that have a 0-10 Vdc output signal can
be used with the P216 control.

Note:High efciency motors must comply with ERP 2015.
%Di is stated in the fan motor specications and indicates the value of extra current that the motor is consuming at
medium speed.
For example:
%DI = 55 means that a 5A motor consumes a 2,75 A more current so 7,75 A at inrush and up to medium speed.
This means that the P216 is limited to 7,75 A, so it is not possible to connect 2 motors in parallel.
For a fan motor with %DI = 0, the P216 can deliver 12 A maximum.
