•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!

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 clear-
ance or thermal shielding is required.
4.3 Outdoor installation
Outdoor installation is possible up to -20 °C when the controller supply is not switched off. Installation
must be protected from the effects of weather as much as possible, including protection from direct
sunlight!
4.4 Installation location for agriculture
When using for animal keeping, do not install the device directly in the stable but in a separate room
with a lower pollutant load. This helps to avoid damages caused by pollutant gases (e.g. ammonia
fumes, hydrogen sulphide fumes).
4.5 Temperature influences during commissioning
Avoid condensation in the controller and functional faults attributable to condensation by storing the
controller at room temperature!
5 Electrical installation
5.1 Safety precautions
Danger due to electric current
•Work on electric components may only be carried out by trained electricians or by persons
instructed in electricity under the supervision of an electrician in accordance with electrical
engineering regulations.
•The 5 electrical safety rules must be observed!
•It is forbidden to carry out work on electrically live parts.
•Cover neighbouring electrical equipment during installation work.
•Other measures may be necessary to achieve safe electrical isolation.
•A second person must always be present when working on energized parts or lines who
disconnects in case of emergency.
•Electrical equipment must be checked regularly: Loose connections are to be re-tightened and
damaged lines or cables must be replaced immediately.
•Always keep switch cabinets and all electrical supply facilities locked. Access is only allowed for
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.

•Never clean electrical equipment with water or similar liquids.
Information
The respective connections are represented in the enclosure of this Operating Instructions (see
connection diagram)!
5.2 EMC-compatible installation
5.2.1 Motor cable
The applicable standard for interference emissions is EN 61000-6-3. Compliance with this standard 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.
5.5 Motor protection
Attention!
Motor thermostats cannot be connected to these controller. I.e. a separate motor protection is
required. We cannot under any circumstances accept liability for damage to the motors which do not
have the required motor protection. It is recommended that every fan is equipped with a separate
motor protection unit e.g. type S-ET10 (see connection diagram)!
5.6 Sensor connection (E1, E2)
The device has 2 inputs for type TF.. temperature sensors (KTY):
•For Compartment temperature
–Sensor type TFR (Part.-No. 00089846) in scope of delivery
–Terminals “E1” / “GND”
•For the out door temperaure or separate sensor for shutter or heating
–Input factory setting deactivated
–Terminals “E2” / “GND”
–Sensor not in scope of delivery
Danger due to electric current
Never apply line voltage to analog inputs!
5.7 Control output 0 - 10 V (A2, A3)
The unit has two 0 - 10 V outputs:
•For ventilation shutter
–output 2 Terminals A2 / GND (I
max
10 mA).
–factory setting inverted (10 V..0 V) i.e. .: 10 V shutter CLOSED, 0 V shutter OPEN.
•For slave controller proportional modulation (factory setting) or with reprogramming for heating.
–output 3 Terminals A3 / GND (I
max
10 mA)
–factory setting not inverted
Information
It is not permissible to connect outputs of several devices to each other!
