this speeD control was specially DesigneD for low

Voltage electric motors. The main use is infinitely variable rate control of electric DC motors, model cars, windscreen wiper motors as well as electric tools. Due to the pulse width modulation of 20 Hz, the power dissipation stays low. By using a MOSFET transistor the outgoing power can be set between 0 A and 10 A. The electronics of the device are protected, even if the motor should stop unexpectedly. By using a second, additional potentiometer, you have the possibility of stabilizing the revs per minute, independent of the load connected.

highlights

– High modulation frequency (approx. 20 kHz), low noise.
– High efficiency by using a power MOSFET.
- External control possible by voltage (0–5V DC/0–10 V DC) or an external potentiometer.
- Maximum output current can be adjusted.
- Adjustable "Rx1" - compensation (load compensation)
- Electronic short-circuit and overload protection.
- Cap Rail mount.
-Compactdimensions.

3. Directions on the control carD pcB

These are directions for the use of the Control Card PCB with electric motors and drive systems according to the current EG Machinery Directives, EMV Directives and Low Voltage Directories.

The PCB may only be installed and operated by an expert or a person who is qualified to do so. All VDE-Regulations must be followed accordingly. The Control Card PCB cannot be used as a stand-alone unit. CE marking is only required for fully assembled, fully functioning devices. The Control Card PCB or and electronic motor are only components of a complete system and do not therefore fall under the rule of individual CE approval.

This controller is designed for controlling the DC power output and can be used to control the speed of connected electric motors or the brightness of low voltage lamps. The user is obliged that the device and the connected devices are assembled and mounted according to be applicable regulations.

2. Connector for external power control
3. "Enable" - input indicator "Ready" - output indicator

4. POTENTIOMETER AND FUNCTION

LED

LED "Power": the power supply is connected and working.

LED "Ready": indicates that the device is ready for use.

R20 "I LIM": adjusts the power output between 0.2 A-10A.

R22 "PWM": adjusts the revs per minute of the connected motor from 0% to 100%.

R8 "RxI": adjusts the "RxI"-compensation. The trimmer is adjusted in such a way that the speed deviation is adjusted to minimum at the lowest possible speed. Should the speed vary, then the "RxI" needs to be turned to the left.

JUMPER

Jumper JP1 "Mode 0" and JP 2 "Mode 1" define

how the device is controlled:

JP1 JP2 Function

Open Open The device is controlled by the internal potentiometer (R22)

Close Open The device is controlled by an external potentiometer (socket X3, 1 kOhm, linear)

Open Close The device is controlled by an external voltage (0...5V) (socket X4) input resistance approx. 25 kOhm

Close Close The device is controlled by an external voltage (0...10V) (socket X4) Eingangswiderstand approx. 25 kOhm

Jumper JP 3 „Enable EXT“ defines from which source the controller can be enabled.

JP 3 is open: the controller is automatically enabled by internal control.

JP 3 is closed: the controller is enabled by an external source. In this case the controller requires a voltage between 5 and 30 V DC at the socket X 5. (Socket „Enable EXT“ input resistance approx. 22 kOhm). If the signals is recognized, the controller will answer with the input power voltage at the socket X 5. (Socket „Ready“ input resistance approx. 2,2 kOhm). The controller is then ready to be used.

BUTTONS

Button BTN1: the jumper settings are registered on the device is connected to the power. If changes are made to the settings, pressing BTN1 will reset the device and register the new settings.

The power supply required needs a DC voltage of 10-28 V. The fluctuation should be less than 20% at maximum load. The connecting wires to „Netzteil – Gerät“ and „Gerät – Motor“ should be kept as short as possible and have a sufficient thickness. An external fuse is recommended, as a reverse voltage will damage the device.

The potentiometer R21 should first be set to full left (0).

The adjustment should be done in the following steps:

1. Turn the potentiometer R21 to the full left. RxI compensation is switched off.
2. Turn the potentiometer R20 to the position required for use.
3. Set the potentiometer R22 to 30-50%.
4. Begin adding RxI compensation by turning the potentiometer R8 to the right and at the same time adding the load to the electric motor. If the motor starts stuttering or running at different speeds, then lessen the RxI compensation until the motor is running stable again, by turning to the left.

6. trouble shooting

Only use the device if it is functioning without disturbance. If there is any malfunction, switch off the device immediately and consult a specialist. The device may only be reinstalled after it has been checked thoroughly. Signs of malfunction are if:

– The device is visibly damaged.
– The device is malfunctioning.
- Attached cables or the housing has come loose.

Repairs may only be done by a qualified person or a specialist using original components and parts. There is the danger of electrocution.
