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.
2.1 Intended use The equipment is to be used solely for the purposes specified and confirmed in the order. Other uses which do not coincide with, or which exceed those specified will be deemed unauthorised unless contractually agreed. Damages resulting from such unau- thorised uses will not be the liability of the manufacturer.
In addition, they must be knowledgeable about the safety regulations, EU directives, rules for the prevention of accidents and the corresponding national as well as regional and in-house regulations. Personnel to be trained or instructed and apprentices are only permitted to work on the device under the supervision of an experienced person. This also applies to personnel undergoing general training.
Danger due to electric current • Even after disconnecting the mains voltage, life-threatening charges can appear between the protective earth “PE” and the mains connection. • The protective earth is routed over high discharge currents (irrespective of the clock frequency, current-source voltage and motor capacity). Earthing in compliance with VDE specifications shall therefore be observed even for testing and trial conditions (EN 50 178, Art.
2.9 Employment of external personnel Maintenance and service work are frequently carried out by external employees who often do not recognize the specific situations and the thus resulting dangers.These persons must be comprehensively informed about the hazards in their area of activity. You must monitor their working methods in order to intervene in good time if necessary.
Danger due to electric current • A control voltage of a different value is switched to the analogue input of the device by the 5-step switch. Each voltage step (0 - 2 - 4 - 6 - 8 - 10 V) is assigned a fixed output frequency.
4 Mounting 4.1 General notes Attention! The following points must be complied with during the mechanical installation to avoid causing a defect in the device due to assembly errors or environmental influences: • Before installation remove the device from the packing and check for any possible shipping damage! •...
4.3 Outdoor installation Outdoor installation is possible up to -20 °C when the controller supply is not switched off. Installation must be protected from the effects of weather as much as possible, including protection from direct sunlight! 4.4 Installation location for agriculture In order to avoid damage caused by ammoniac vapours, the controller shall not be installed in the stable, but rather in an outhouse wherever possible.
• For metal cable inlets the necessary protective earth connection to the bottom of the housing is made by screws. The device may only be started up when these screws are fitted properly. • Never clean electrical equipment with water or similar liquids. Information The respective connections are represented in the enclosure of this manual ( Connection diagram)!
5.4 Residual-current-operated protective device Danger due to electric current For an installation of r.c.d. protection, it shall be observed that this must be of “universal-current sensitivity”. In accordance with EN 50 178, Section. 5.2. other types of current-operated protective devices may not be used. To ensure as high a degree of reliability as possible , we recommend a tripping current of 300 mA.
5.6 Motor protection Motor protection is possible by connecting thermostats “TB” or thermistors “TP”. The jumper “J1” in the connection space must be plugged according to the used thermal protectors. Motor with thermistors “TP” For motor with thermistors “TP” the jumper “J1” must be plugged at the top. A maximum of six individual thermistors (DIN 44081 or DIN 44082) may be connected in series to a single device.
5.9 Relay output (K1) An operating message or activation of a damper control motor is possible via the potential-free contacts of the relay “K1” (max. contact load technical data and connection diagram). At a modulation above 5 Hz the relay energizes, i.e. the terminals “13” and “14” are bridged.

8.2.1 Connection suggestion for several motors with motor protection unit type STDT • Total motor protection: Automatic cut-off by thermocontact actuation motor overtemperature. Button for Reset after malfunction. • Line protection: A thermal over current sensor and a magnetic short circuit releasing elements are the parts of the integral line protection.
