5.10 Damper Operation
A damper is a device that controls the flow in a ventilation system. If a fan and a damper are
used together in a system, the inverter may be configured to operate according to the
damper‘s operation status. During a damper operation, one of the relay outputs OUT-31–35
(Relay 1–5) may be set to ‗33 (Damper Control)‘ to output a signal based on the damper‘s
operation status. One of the multi-function terminal inputs (IN-65–71) may also be set to ‗45
(Damper Open)‘ to receive the damper status input. The inverter starts operating when both
the run command and the damper open signal are turned on (relay output setting at OUT-
31–35 is not necessary).
When the time difference between the inverter run command and the damper open signal
exceeds the delay time set at AP2-45 (Damper DT), damper error (Damper Err) occurs. If
the damper open relay output and damper control input are set at the same time, and if the
damper open signal is not received until the time set at AP2-45 (Damper DT) is elapsed
(when the inverter is not operating), damper error (Damper Err) occurs.
