Notes concerning alarm systems
Breakdowns, malfunctions or faulty settings may cause substantial damage and financial losses when regulat-
ing and controlling the climate in a livestock house. It is therefore essential to install a separate, independent
alarm system that monitors the house climate concurrently with the climate and production controller. According
to EU-directive No. 98/58/EU, an alarm system must be installed in all mechanically ventilated houses.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the product liability clause of general terms and conditions
of sale and delivery specifies that an alarm system must be installed.

3.2 Position of motor controller/frequency converter
Motor controller/frequency converter must not be built-
in or covered and must be mounted on a solid, level
surface.
In order to uphold protection classifications, access and
cooling, the motor controller/frequency converter must
be positioned as shown in section Mounting distances
for the motor controller/frequency converter [}8].
3.3 Mounting distances for the motor controller/frequency converter
200 mm
200 mm
10 mm 10 mm
In order to ensure access of cables and cooling of the
motor controller/frequency, the distances to the sur-
roundings must be met.
Distance to top and bottom = 200 mm
Distance to both sides = 10 mm
3.4 Position of motor controller/frequency converter
The motor controller/frequency converter is positioned
so that the ambient temperature is between ÷ 20°C and
+ 40°C and protected against direct sunlight.
Temperature, operating ÷ 20 °C to + 40.
Start temperature ÷ 15 °C to + 40.
Mount the motor controller/frequency converter as close
to the fan as possible.
The 2 m cable included must not be extended.
However, a motor cable of 5 m can be ordered if the 2 m
is not sufficient.
The controller/frequency converter can be mounted on a
wooden plate fastened to a rafter on the ceiling or di-
rectly on the chimney.

4 Installation guide
4.1 Electrical connection
Wait 10 minutes for the capacitors to discharge to a safe voltage level before servicing and trou-
bleshooting.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in serious injury or loss of life.
Installation, servicing and troubleshooting of all electrical equipment must be carried out by quali-
fied personnel in compliance with the applicable national and international standard EN 60204-1
and any other EU standards that are applicable in Europe.
The installation of a power supply isolator is required for each motor and power supply to facilitate
voltage-free work on the electrical equipment. The power supply isolator is not included.
4.1.1 Disclaimer at retrofitting fans
In the case of retrofitting fans in an existing house, regardless of ON/OFF fans, LPC fans or frequency convert-
ers SKOV recommends that a local expert is involved in checking the electrical installations. The focus should
be on cable dimensions, overload protections, local transformers, etc. It is of outmost importance to take the fan
specifications into account and, at the same time, ensure that local requirements are fulfilled.
4.1.2 Mains supply dimensioning regarding harmonic distortion
LPC motor controllers and frequency converters function like any other electronic power converter by converting
AC to DC. As this conversion produces a non-sinusoidal current, the mains supply for the controller is affected
by harmonic distortion.
The electrician or the user of the equipment must ensure, possibly through contact with the supply company,
that the equipment is connected to a properly sized mains supply.
4.1.3 Overvoltage protection
SKOV A/S equipment are protected for high level of surge transient, but in some cases, specially in areas with
frequent lightning strikes and power outage, additional protection is necessary. To reduce the risk of damaging
the electronic equipment by large surge overvoltage, it is therefore recommended, always to install Surge Pro-
tection Devices (SPD) in the mains supply.
As a minimum a Type 2/Class II device should be installed in each livestock house wiring box. A device of
8/20us - 40kA/phase or higher is recommended.
In areas with a high amount of surge overvoltage a Type 1/Class I device is reccomended to be installed at the
transformer/ATS as the first protection device, together with Type 2 in each livestock house wiring box as sec-
ond protection device. A Type 1 device of 10/350us - 25kA/phase or higher is are recommended.
Local electrical engineers must be consulted for correct dimensioning and installation of the SPD device.

4.1.4 Cabling in the exhaust unit
Drill a hole in the exhaust unit duct for the fan cable and
pull it along a support to the same side as the motor con-
troller/frequency converter.
4.1.5 Cabling into the motor controller/frequency converter
In order to prevent water from running into the motor
controller/frequency converter via cables and screwed
connections, the cabling must be carried out so that it
can stand water around the cable in the gasket of the
screwed connection.
