INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Warning indication The control unit must be in perfect technical condition before use. Damage that can affect safety must be remedied immediately . Maintenance/Repairs Control unit function should be checked regularly. Troubleshooting and repairs may only be done by trained personnel.
MANUFACTURER'S DECLARATION DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY Manufacturer IBC control AB Brännerigatan 5 A SE-263 37 Höganäs Sweden Tel: +46 42 33 00 10 Product Control unit for rotary heat exchanger Type designation VariMax25 NG Applicable EMC Directive 2014/30/EU EU Directives Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU...
DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS • The VariMax25 NG is part of a new range of control units that, with the necessary additional functions, are suitable for the optimum control of rotary heat exchangers. The series comes in two sizes, the VariMax25 NG and VariMax50 NG. Both the control units operate 3-phase stepper motors.
Continued from previous page • As an alternative, the VariMax25 NG can have an external rotation monitor (magnet mounted on the rotor with an associated rotation monitor). This is connected at terminal connections 9 and 10, and the DIP switch for the “External rotation monitor” should be in the ON position.
TECHNICAL DATA, CONTROL UNIT Connection voltage 1×230-240 V +/-15% Output frequency 0-291 Hz 50/60 Hz Acceleration and 30 sec Power input max 97 W retardation time Ambient temperature, Input current max 0.8 A -40 - +45 non condensing External fuse, max 10 A Protection form IP44...
DIP SWITCH Cleaning function Cleaning function connected in ON position. When the rotor has stopped for 10 minutes, the cleaning function is activated and the rotor starts to rotate. As advance warning, the rotor rotates with a motor speed of 5 rpm for the first 6 seconds, following which the rotor stops for 3 seconds.
ALARMS In the case of an alarm, the control unit will restart after 30 seconds. The relevant red LED will light up for the same period of time (30 seconds). After restart, the LED is extinguished; this takes place twice. The third time, the alarm relay closes and the alarm "moves on".
Motor fault Motor temperature The control unit regulates power and makes sure the motor will not overheat. Short circuit Alarms and trips in the event of short circuit phase-phase or phase-earth. Probable cause of fault - Short circuit between phases in cable or motor - Short circuit between phase-earth in cable or motor - Interruption to one phase in cable or motor - No motor or wrong motor connected...
