PCB Mode switches

There is the 4-way DIL PCB mounted slide switch providing the following options:-

•Fan 1 Override (On = runs Fan 1 continually and disables Fan 2*).

•Fan 2 Override (On = runs Fan 2 continually and disables Fan 1*).

*If both Fan 1 Override and Fan 2 Override are on at the same time, both fans run continually (duplex mode).

See note at the end of Software operation / Power up section.

Power up checks

On initial power up the fault output relay will be energized into the normal “No Fault” condition.

Fan No 2 will be run for 30 seconds, to allow the controller to monitor the correct running of the fan.

If no fan fault is detected the controller will switch oﬀ No 2 fan and bring on fan No 1.

If fan No 2 is found to be faulty the fault relay output will go into fault

condition, and the LED will fast ﬂash and fan No 1 will be turned on.

If fan No 1 is found to be faulty the fault relay output will go into fault condition, and the LED will fast ﬂash and fan

No2 will be turned on.

NOTE If the installation only has one fan, then set “Fan 1 to override” mode and wire into Fan 1 terminals. Fan 2

will be ignored and the Power Up test mode will not occur.

If both fans are to run continually then put Fan 1 & Fan 2 into override mode.

Both fans will now be monitored for correct operation. The Power Up test mode will not occur.

Fan fault monitoring

Any fan that should be running will be monitored, and if its RPM falls below the Minimum RPM speed setting the

Fault Output relay will switch to Fault.

NOTE A fault output will also be generated for lack of mains power.

To ensure that false alarm outputs are not produced the controller will monitor the fan/s for 30 seconds of

continuous fault condition before producing a fault output. This time period is used to ensure that the Fault

Output relay is stable in its operation, and will not be aﬀected by diﬀerent start up times of fans or windy days

slowing the air ﬂow down etc.

If a fan is found to be faulty the status LED will fast ﬂash and the fault relay remains in the fault condition until such

time as the system is turned oﬀ then back on. No automatic fault reset occurs.

Field Test mode

Field Test mode reduces the Changeover Time range to 1 to 12 minutes and the Run On Time range to 0 to 15

seconds, for quicker testing during commissioning.

Fan Speed setting

The Low, Medium & High fan speeds should be set as required for each installation.

The speed setting pots will have a basic scaling of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 & 10,

corresponding to 0 to 100% PWM (0 to 10V).

Changeover mode

After the initial power up checks fan No 1 will run for the pre-set time. At the end of the run period Fan No 2 will

be turned on and Fan No 1 will be turned oﬀ. If no fan faults are detected this sequence will be repeated.

If a fan fault is detected the Fault Output relay will switch to the fault condition and the status LED will start fast

ﬂashing. The fan being run will be turned oﬀ and the other fan will be turned on until the controller is powered

down then back on to reset the unit.

If both fans develop faults then both will be turned oﬀ until the controller is powered down, then back on to reset

the unit.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

www.blaubergventilatoren.de

Twin EC Fan Speed Controller & Auto Change Over Panel

0 to 10V external control (User Control)

The unit will normally drive the fans at the Trickle Speed setting (when the VFCa and VFCb inputs are open and

there is no 240V Medium Boost signal). Once the 0 to 10V input goes above circa 0.5V the fan speed/s will be

increased in proportion to the input voltage.

I.E.

A) If the Trickle Speed setting is 10% PWM then the 0-10V input will control

the fan speed/s from 10% to 100% PWM.

B) If the Trickle Speed setting is 20% PWM then the 0-10V input will control

the fan speed/s from 20% to 100% PWM etc.

Boost inputs

If switch inputs VFCa (or the 240V Medium Boost input) or VFCb operate, the fan/s will run at the selected Boost

speed. Whilst any boost signal is present the 0 to 10V input will be ignored, and the fan/s will run at the boost

speed.

The fan/s will always run at the highest boost speed if Medium Boost and High Boost inputs are present at the

same time.

There will be two “Boost” modes:

1) MEDIUM BOOST SPEED

Volts free contact input (referenced to units 0V/Neg) When the contacts close the Medium Boost speed will be

selected.

Isolated 240V AC input. When applied the Medium Fan speed will be selected.

NOTE If both Medium Boost inputs are active, then Medium Boost will apply until the last Medium Boost input is

removed.

RUN ON TIME

Whenever the last medium boost signal is removed the Fan/s will continue to run for the period set by the “Run

ON Time” control.

NOTE If a boost signal has been removed and the fans are still being driven at the boost speed then during the Run

On Time, “any” new boost signals will be ignored until the Run On Time has expired.

2) HIGH BOOST SPEED

Volts free contact input VFCb (referenced to 0V/Neg). When the contacts close the High Boost speed will be

selected.

NOTE The High Boost can also trigger the Run In Timer if selected by the appropriate mode switch

PRIORITY OF BOOST SIGNALS

Medium Boost will override the Trickle fan speed setting and the 0 to 10V input.

High Boost will override Medium Boost, the Trickle fan speed and the 0 to10V input.

A boost signal will take control of the fan speed whether the boost speed is higher or lower than the fan speed it is

overriding.

BMS Enable input

The VFC BMS Enable input must be connected or linked for the controller to operate. This is for remote control by

a Building Management System or other control system.

If the Enable input is opened whilst running then the fan/s will be turned oﬀ and the Fault Output relay will switch

to the fault condition.
