3 Product overview
3.1 Operational area
The frequency inverter is designed for a stepless control of fans without additional (electromagnetic)
motor noise.
Temperature controller for stalls in individual or central exhaust air systems.
•In installations with single suction, fans, flaps and heatings are controlled via the outputs.
•In central exhaust installations, these devices are used in combination. The devices controls the
exhaust air flap and the heatings for one ompartment. At the same time the exhaust air volumes of
all the compartments connected are signaled to a Master* . The speed is calculated from the sum
of the exhaust air volumes and the fans connected are readjusted.
In order to be able to network several devices, these are equipped with a bus interface. In this way, for
example, the supply air temperature sensor connected to the Master* can be communicated to all
system users. Fault messages on stall devices are transmitted and displayed as a group fault; in
addition the total exhaust air volume of the ventilation system is determined.
Master*
A device which controls and monitors the bus communication and performs central control functions
3.2 Service work

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!
•A mounting on vibrating base is not permissible, if no data to the vibration strength is made (see
Technical data)!
•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!
•Maintain the stated minimum clearances to ensure unobstructed cooling- air feed as well as
unobstructed outgoing air discharge (see minimum space requirement)!
•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 cut off necessary cable inlets respectively to the cable diameter.
Or alternative use cable inlet for cable glands. Metal sheet housings are supplied with stoppers.
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 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. Even after disconnection, the dc-link is still
live. Always wait at least 3 minutes.
•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 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.
•For metal cable inlets the necessary protective earth connection to the bottom of the housing is
made by screws. The device may only be started up when these screws are fitted properly.
•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!
•Metal screwed-connections are not permitted in plastic housing parts because there is no potential
equalization.
•The device owner is responsible for the EMC of the entire plant according to the locally applicable
standards.
•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!).
