INSTRUCTION ALH230A

Room humidity controller

ALH230A is a room humidity controller that controls a 0...10 V  
output signal with a proportional algorithm in direct or reverse 
action. The output signal is applied to an air handling unit, e.g. a 
ventilator such as an EC fan or damper.

85 x 100 x 30.5 mm

Installation 

 

*Wall mounting

Impulse voltage   

2,5 kV

Pollution degree   

2

Classification of unit 

Type 1

Protection class   

IP30

Insulation class   

Class II

*The unit must be installed exclusively in contact with a wall.  
Installation with a spacer that would allow access to the back of the 
unit is forbidden.

Installation

Place the device in a location that has a temperature representative 

for the room. A suitable location is approx. 1.6 m above floor level in 

a place with unobstructed air circulation. To remove the front cover, 

use a 3 mm flatblade screwdriver to depress the locking tongue in 

the lower part of the casing (

picture 1

). Press and twist the screw-

driver, and at the same time pull the bottom part of the front outwards 
(

pictures 2-4

). When the bottom end of the front cover is free from 

the bottom part of the casing, slide the cover towards the top of the 
casing to free the hooks holding the upper edge of the front cover 
(

). Perform the connections according to electrical wiring 

diagram. Cables must be fixed using the 2 cable ties supplied as indi

-

cated in

. Screw the bottom part of the casing to the wall.

Disconnection

ALH230A should be connected to a switch or circuit breaker in the 
building installation. This switch should be in close proximity to the 
controller and within easy reach of the operator, and should be 
marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment.
Always use the circuit breaker to disconnect the controller from the 
mains supply during maintenance of the EC fan or damper.

Settings

The direction of the output signal is set using the JP1 jumper  
(

SW1: Humidity setpoint (20...90 % RH)
SW2: Humidity proportional band (5...50 % RH)

JP1 closed 1-2: Humidification
JP1 closed 2-3: Dehumidification

R28: EC fan min. limit speed
R29: EC fan max. limit speed

The humidity setpoint is set using rotary switch

The range of the voltage applied to the ventilator is defined using 
the MIN and MAX knobs. MIN is used to define the minimum ap

-

plicable voltage to the ventilator (0...5 V), while MAX defines the 

maximum voltage (5...10 V). The PI controller will then operate 
between the relevant MIN and MAX values.

Example 1:

If the MIN value is set to the minimum position and MAX to the 
maximum position, the PI controller will work from 0...10 V.

Example 2:

If MIN is set to 2 V and MAX is set to 7 V, the PI controller works 
from 2 to 7 V.
