Wiring Wiring recommendations Power Observe the cable cross-sectional areas recommended in the standards. The speed controller must be earthed, in order to comply with regulations concerning high leakage currents (over 3.5 mA). When the use of an upstream "residual current device" for protection is required by the installation standards, a "type B"...

Wiring Electromagnetic compatibility Principle • Grounds between speed controller, motor and cable shielding should have "high frequency" equipotentiality. • Use shielded cables with shielding connected to ground at 360° at both ends for the motor cable, braking resistor (if used) and control-command cables. Conduit or metal ducting can be used for part of the shielding length, provided that there is no break in continuity.

Basic Functions Fault relay, unlocking The fault relay is energized when the speed controller is powered up and there is no fault. It has a common point C/O contact. The speed controller is unlocked after a fault by the following operations : - Powering down the speed controller until the display and the red LED extinguish, then powering up again - Automatically when the "automatic restart"...
Configurable I/O Application Functions Logic input application functions Direction of operation : forward / reverse Reverse operation can be disabled for applications with a single direction of motor rotation. 2-wire control : Run (forward or reverse) and stop are controlled by the same logic input, for which state 1 (run) or 0 (stop) is taken into account.

Configurable I/O Application Functions Function compatibility table The choice of application functions may be limited by the number of I/O and by the fact that some functions are incompatible with one another. Functions which are not listed in this table are fully compatible.
Setup - Preliminary Recommendations Prior to powering up and configuring the speed controller - Power down the logic inputs (state 0) to prevent any accidental startup. Otherwise, an input assigned to the run command may cause the motor to start immediately when exiting the configuration menus.

Maintenance Servicing The BLEMO-ER21 does not require any preventative maintenance. It is nevertheless advisable to carry out the following operations regularly : Check the condition and tightness of connections. Check that the temperature around the unit remains at an acceptable level and that the ventilation is effective (average service life of fans : 3 to 5 years depending on operating conditions).
• The assignment of the "Fast stop" or "Freewheel stop" functions will prevent the controller from starting if the corresponding logic inputs are not powered up. The BLEMO-ER21 then displays "nSt" in freewheel stop mode and "FSt" in fast stop mode. This is normal since these functions are active at zero so that the controller will be stopped safely if there is a wire break.
