In automatic mode, a Sentera potentiometer with Modbus RTU communication can be connected to RTVS8. Via the optional DADCM analogue input module, RTVS8 series can be controlled via an external 0-10 Volt signal. To obtain demand based fan speed control, RTVS8 can be combined with a Sentera HVAC sensor.

RTVS8 115—230 VAC TRANSFORMER FAN SPEED CONTROLLER WITH MODBUS RTU COMMUNICATION 3.2.1 Automatic forward mode. See operational diagram below: Each level can take a value from 0 to 100 % with the following restrictions: 0 = OFF, i.e. the step is skipped. For example: Step 1 = 17 %, Step 2 = 34 %, Step 3 = 0 %, Step 4 = 68 %, Step 5 = 85 %, from 34 to 68 % the device will be in Step 2 and above 68% - in Step 4.
RTVS8 115—230 VAC TRANSFORMER FAN SPEED CONTROLLER WITH MODBUS RTU COMMUNICATION Explanation of specific Modbus registers The unit has factory pre-set parameters written in Modbus map. It can function without any other settings. However, there are some special registers you may need to set depending on you combination of products.
