MECON LVT20 SERIES 1. INTRODUCTION MECON LVT20 series of controllers are designed to drive brushless DC motors using hall sensor feedback. Open loop as well as closed loop operation of BLDC motors up to 3000W is possible. This manual describes all the functionalities of the controller and also describes about various operating modes and fault conditions.

MECON LVT20 SERIES LED C4 Function Indicates the power status of the controller. GREEN LED Indicates the fault conditions of the controller. RED LED SWITCH C5 Function Resets the controller in case of ‘fault latch’ condition. Do not attempt to reset the RESET controller in normal condition or while the controller is in operation.

MECON LVT20 SERIES Pin10 | enable Logic signal to enable or disable the motor rotation. Logic ‘high’: Motor stops rotating and deccelerate as per the set deceleration. Logic ‘low’: Motor starts to rotate as per the set speed and will accelerate as per the set acceleration.
MECON LVT20 SERIES 7. INTERNAL FAULT INDICATION LVT20 series of controller comes with an in-built fault led, which indicates different types of fault conditions. Depending upon the fault, the led flashes in a particular pattern to indicate the specific type of fault.
Controller parameters can be configured via RS-485 communication. MEDEval software is used to configure the parameters of the controller. For further information regarding the software refer to MEDEval QUICK GUIDE document. LVT20 series controller basic parameters: Function Range Factory Default...

MECON LVT20 SERIES Connecting the motor for the first time. For connecting the motor, check the motors rated specification and accordingly set the controller parameters via RS-485 communication using MEDEval software. After setting the parameters, suitable to run the motor, connect the motor hall sensor wires and main DC supply wires to the controller (For now, do not connect the phase wires).
