Introduction
The Configurable Generic Controller (CGC) is designed to regulate the rotational speed of ebm-papst 0-10V and
open collector PWM controlled fans. It operates on a wide supply voltage range from 10 to 57 volts DC, and due
to its low power consumption, it can be powered from the ebm-papst small EC motors 10V DC output.
The controller’s factory default has no profile assigned to it. A configuration file must be created and downloaded
to the controller in order for it to produce an output signal in response to an input signal.
Please see
www.ebmpapst.co.uk/cgc
for a list of configuration files provided by ebm-papst, which have been
derived from legacy CPC and EC controllers and must be used as their direct replacement.

Installation
The CGC is designed as a component part to be installed in a clean and dry area within the user’s equipment or
an enclosure to prevent access whilst operating or ingress of dust and moisture. There are 4 x Ø 3.5mm PCB
fixing holes available for installing the board to its enclosure or fixture. It is recommended that the control signal
cable is kept separate from mains supply wiring. Shielded cabling may be used if appropriate to prevent
unwanted interference.
