2. Warnings
WARNING
Wiring And Connections Must Comply With All National And Local
Electrical Codes. Installation By Qualified Electrician Required!
WARNING
Disconnect All Electrical Power Sources To Evolution 3000/3001 Controller Or
Farm Hand Stage Master Controller Before Installing EV-VAR!
3. Introduction
The Evolution Variable Output is one of Hired-Hand's latest addition to the electronic controller product line.
Evolution Variable Output (EV-VAR) is used to vary the speed of fans or to vary light luminosity. The Off or On
switch setting overrides the main control system. To allow variable control of the EV-VAR output, connect EV-
VAR to a Hired Hand Evolution 3000/3001 controller or to a Farm Hand Stage Master Controller with the EV-VAR
switch set on VARIABLE. See wiring diagrams for proper connections.
The Evolution Variable Output is available in two versions: The 4KW/4HP model and the 8KW/8HP model.
The Evolution Variable Output models can be used in conjunction with Evolution 3000/3001 Control Systems or
Farm Hand Control Systems (Stage Master, etc.) for variable operation of lights or fans.
For information regarding the Variable Output models with the Override Pot, refer to manual number 4801-5318.

6. Initial Setup of Variable Output Control Board (PCB 172)
The following sub-sections describe the usage and settings of each connection and jumper included on the EV-VAR PCB #172.
The board layout with wire connector references are shown in Section 6.8.
WARNING
Disconnect All Electrical Power Sources To Evolution 3000/3001 Controller,
Farm Hand Stage Master Controller, and EV-VAR Prior To Wiring Or Maintenance!
6.1 AC IN Connections
Always connect to the breaker-box side of the electrical circuit. Refer to the Wiring Connection Figures in Section 7.
DANGER: Line Voltage is present when power is applied. DISCONNECT POWER prior to wiring or
maintenance.
6.2 AC OUT Connections
Connect to the fans or lights. Refer to the Wiring Connection Figures in Section 7.
DANGER: Line Voltage is present when power is applied. DISCONNECT POWER prior to wiring or
maintenance.
6.3 Evolution Connections
The Evolution connections must be wired to the electronic controller (Evolution 3000/3001).
Observe polarity connections (+ to +; - to -).
This connection is not used if a Farm Hand Stage Master is connected to the Farm Hand connections.
See wiring diagrams for more specific information.
6.4 Farm Hand Connections
The Farm Hand connections must be wired to the electronic controller (Stage Master).
Observe polarity connections (+ to +; - to -).
This connection is not used if a Evolution 3000/3001 is connected to the Evolution connections.
See wiring diagrams for more specific information.
6.5 Control Jumper Connections
The Control Jumpers are FACTORY WIRED from Circuit #1 to Circuit #3 and from Circuit #2 to Circuit #4. This allows two
separate circuits for operating different equipment as shown in Section 7.3.
If one circuit is desired for operating the same equipment, wires are provided for connecting a jumper from Circuit #1 to Circuit #2
as shown in Section 7.4.
6.6 Front Panel Switch Connector
The PCB Switch Connector is FACTORY WIRED to the specific circuit’s Front Panel Switch.
6.7 20 Amp Fuse
The 20 Amp Fuse is easily accessible when replacement is required.
WARNING
Disconnect All Electrical Power Sources To Evolution 3000/3001 Controller Or
Farm Hand Stage Master Controller Before Replacing Fuse!

7.3 Separating Circuits to Operate Different Equipment
In some cases, you may want to operate a combination of lights and fans. The following is an example of how one would wire two
circuits for lights and then two circuits for fans while integrated into the Evolution 3000.
Part No. 4801-5315 Rev 1-15 Evolution Variable Output Page 11 of 12
7.4 Combining Circuits to Operate the Same Type of Equipment
In some cases, you may want to operate all lights or all fans. The following is an example of how one would combine circuits one
and three with circuits two and four for only one connection to the Evolution 3000.
