12.5 Safe separation of mains voltage and 
protective extra low-voltage 
 
 
Caution! 
All inputs and outputs of PWM fan control are designed for use with protective 
extra low-voltage. For this reason, strict separation from the mains voltage side 
must be ensured! 
 
This necessitates an external power supply by the VSD or an external power pack (X74 
pin 1, X74 pin 2).

Note 
Power must also be supplied via X74 pin 1 / pin 2 in the case a PWM fan is used. 
 
12.6 Ramp time 
 
The ramp time for fan control can be set separately for acceleration and deceleration 
(also refer to chapter Traveling speed/maximum curve slope). 
 
No. Parameter 
522 Ramp up 
523 Ramp down 
544 Ramp modulating 
 
If shutdown occurs because the speed has not been reached, the VSD/fan motor might 
not be able to follow quickly enough the set ramp. 
In the case of a ramp time >20 seconds, the modulating operating ramp (parameter 
544) must be increased (refer to chapter Running speed / maximum curve slope). 
 
Remedy: 
Shorten further the ramp of the VSD/fan motor or increase the ramp in the LMV37.4 
(parameters 522/523) (also refer to chapter Traveling speed/maximum curve slope). 
 
 
 
Caution! 
The ramps parameterized for the VSD should be at least 20% shorter than the 
ramps in the LMV37.4. 
 
Example: 
 
5 s ramp   LMV37.4  4 s ramp VSD 
10 s ramp   LMV37.4  8 s ramp VSD 
20 s ramp   LMV37.4   16 s ramp VSD 
40 s ramp   LMV37.4   32 s ramp VSD
