Operation and maintenance instructions
5.1 OPERATING MODE
There are ve main operating modes. The operating
mode determines how the airow or the fan torque
is modulated. The default operating mode is Airow
control. Exceptions are units equipped with backwards
fans without the Constant Air Kit or if Constant Torque
mode has been selected in the product setup menu, in
both cases it is the fan torque that will be controlled and
modulated.
5.0 Functions
In all the operating modes, the supply fan(s) will operate
as per the assigned mode and parameters. The exhaust
fan(s) will operate according to the chosen percentage
of the supply fan (%EXH/SUP ratio). The ve main
operating modes are:
• 1 - Airow control:
Flow control involves operating the air handling unit to keep the pre-set airow constant. The speed of the
fans is automatically regulated to provide correct airow even if the lters begin to become clogged, air
terminals are blocked, etc. Airow control mode is advantageous, since the airow always is exactly as it was
from the beginning. It should however be noted that everything that increases the pressure drop in the
ventilation system, such as blocking of air terminals and dust accumulating in lters, causes the fans to run at
a higher speed. This results in higher power consumption and may also cause discomfort in the form of noise.
There are three airow setpoints to be congured by the user (m³h K1, m³h K2, m³h K3).
• 2 - Torque control:
3 torque setpoints to be congured by the user (%TQ K1, %TQ K2, %TQ K3). The setpoint is congured
in % of the maximal torque.
• 3 - Demand control 0-10V:
The airow is controlled by a 0-10 V signal. The control signal is connected to terminals K2&GND. The assigned
supply airow is set as a percentage of a linear 0-10 V signal. The user denes the link with 4 parameters: Vmin,
Vmax, m³h
Vmin and m³h Vmax, applied to the following diagram. The demand control mode is also
available for modulating fan torque instead of airow (relevant for backwards fans units without Kit CA).
The principle is identical to the demand control mode operation with the dierence that Vmin and Vmax are
connected to a %TQ instead of m³/h.
• 4 - Pressure control:
The airow automatically varies to provide constant pressure in the ducting system. This type of control is
also called VAV control (Variable Air Volume).
Pressure on supply: the airow of the supply fan(s) is modulated to maintain a certain pressure Setting
constant. The pressure is measured by a pressure sensor located in the supply air duct.
Pressure on exhaust: the airow of the exhaust fan(s) is modulated to maintain a certain pressure Setting
constant. The pressure is measured by a pressure sensor located in the extract air duct.
• 5 - MODE OFF :
This stops the AHU
