PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
e GTE fan speed controller automatically regulates the speed of single phase
voltage controllable motors (230 VAC / 50—60 Hz) according to the measured
temperature values. e maximum speed can be adjusted via an internal
trimmer. e minimum speed and temperature setpoint can be adjusted via
external potentiometers. ere are two product versions: -DM with Modbus RTU
communication and -DT with an integrated motor socket, power cable and a PT500
temperature probe. e fan speed will increase as the measured temperature
exceeds the setpoint temperature.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS IN STEPS
Before you start mounting the GTE controller, read carefully “Safety and
Precautions”. Choose a flat surface for installation (e.g. a wall, panel, etc.) and
follow these steps:
1. Insert the supply and sensor cables through the cable glands and do the wiring
according to the information in section “Wiring and connections” while adhering
to Fig. 1 below.

Power supply 230 VAC not regulated

connection Modbus RTU Ground

(Max 6A)
Only for -DM version
NOTE For the -DT version the power supply and the temperature sensor (PT500) are
included in the set and factory connected. Also, the -DT version has a Schuko
socket to plug in the motor / fan. If your unit is -DT, please skip step 1.
2. Fix the jumpers accordingly - see Fig. 2 Jumper positions below.
NOTE e -DM version can be used both as a stand-alone unit or in conjunction with
a computer and operated by Sentera’s 3SModbus software or the Sensistant
configurator. When used stand-alone, its jumpers need to be set to the desired
values. When used in Modbus mode, its parameters are set via Modbus RTU,
so the jumpers can remain in their factory set positions. Refer to the Modbus
Holding Registers Table below for the relevant settings.

-DM version mounting steps: Go to -DT version ▶
1. Make sure the GTE controller is not connected to the mains supply.
2. Unscrew the front cover and open the enclosure. Mind the wires that connect
the potentiometer with the printed circuit board.
3. Fix the unit to the wall or panel using the provided screws and dowels. Mind the
correct mounting position and unit mounting dimensions. (See Fig. 3 Mounting
dimensions and Fig. 4 Mounting position.).

4. Set the maximum speed trimmer to the desired value. You can choose from the
range 170—230 VAC. e factory setting is 230 VAC.
5. Optional setting:
■e Network Bus Terminator (NBT) (see Fig. 5 NBT jumper) used with Modbus
RTU. By default the NBT is disconnected.

NOTE Connect the NBT only in the two most distant units on the network line!
■Connect the NBT by placing the jumper onto the pins as indicated above only
if your unit starts or terminates the network. Skip this step if your unit is not
the first or last on the network. See the examples below for more information.

VERIFICATION OF INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION Mind that the cables are live. Take the relevant safety measures.
1. Plug in the supply cable.
2. Switch on the controller via the illuminated ON/OFF switch.
3. Position the TEMP. potentiometer to max. position (35 °C). (See Fig. 9 -DM
version and Fig. 10 -DT version)

4. e connected motor will run at min. speed.
5. Adjust the TEMP. potentiometer to temperature equal to the ambient
temperature.
6. e motor / fan will run at min. speed and speed up if the ambient temperature
rises (hold the temperature probe in your hands to check).
7. Adjust the temperature potentiometer to the min. position (5 °C for GTE21-60-
DM and GTE21-60-DT or 15 °C for GTE-1-60-DM and GTE-1-60-DT)
8. e motor will run at max. selected speed if the difference between the setpoint
temperature and the ambient temperature is more than the value of the selected
proportional range.
9. If the unit does not operate as explained above, check the connections and
settings.
