Operating Instructions PCA 1000D General notes 1 General notes 1.1 Structure of the operating instructions Before installation and start-up, read this manual carefully to ensure correct use! We emphasize that these operating instructions apply to specific units only, and are in no way valid for the complete system! Use these operating instructions to work safely with and on the device.
Operating Instructions PCA 1000D Safety instructions damages. All rights reserved, including those that arise through patent issue or registration on a utility model. 2 Safety instructions • Mounting, electrical connection, and start-up operation may only be carried out by an electrical specialist in accordance with electrotechnical regulations (e.g.
Operating Instructions PCA 1000D Product overview 3 Product overview 3.1 Operational area Pressure and volume control for ventilation systems. Depending on the programmed Mode the device can be used as sensor or as a control module for pressure or volume.
Operating Instructions PCA 1000D Mounting 3.3 Storage • The device must be stored in its original packaging in a dry and weather-proof room. • Avoid exposure to extreme heat and cold. • Avoid over-long storage periods (we recommend a maximum of one year).
Operating Instructions PCA 1000D Electrical installation • Any cable ducts openings not used must be sealed! • Care must be taken to avoid direct radiation from the sun! • The pressure measuring depends on position, therefore the mounting must be made vertical and as possible on a vibration- free place (cable inlet and pressure connections down).
Operating Instructions PCA 1000D Electrical installation 5.2 EMC-compatible installation of control lines Pay attention to maintain 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! 5.3 Connection Voltage supply...
