Electronically Commutated Motor (ECM) Speed Control
An Electrically Commutated Motor (ECM) with speed control allows for an accurate manual adjustment of
the fan’s speed. The benefits of using an EC motor is exceptional efficiency, performance, and motor life.
External PWM Signal
The fan unit will be shipped with power wiring and communication wiring fed to an internal junction box.
The fan is shipped with Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) wire which is used to wire to a remote PWM signal.
Red wire is used to go to the positive PWM signal, black wire is used to go to the negative PWM signal.
Reference schematics for all wiring connections. STP is connected to the communication wiring of the
motor using wire nuts in the junction box. If a preset length of STP is provided, it will be connected to the
junction box from the factory. Run the STP through any available knockout in the fan base.
Unit Mount Controller
The RTC speed controller features a 4 digit LED display with a five button interface. All parameters can be
accessed through the user menu. The percent of run speed can be changed by using the
Up
and
Down
buttons followed by pressing
Enter
(middle button) to save changes. Every
ten seconds
the display will
toggle between current percentage of run speed and current RPMs. The flow index has a range of
0-100%
and is typically linear with motor RPM.
If the remote function (re) is enabled, the speed is controlled through a
0-10V
input.
0V = 0%
and
10V =
100%
,
unless overridden by the low speed and high speed limits.
The speed controller requires a
24V AC
input and can locally turn the motor on and off. The motor RPM
range is fully adjustable between the minimum and maximum setpoints, see LSPD and HSPD on the
programming display. For more information, see the RTC control operating manual.
For all motors except 16Z, 18Z, 20Z, 22Z, 25Z, 28Z:
If “oFF” is being displayed, and the speed is set
above 300 RPM, the ECM is not receiving RPM feedback. Check that the ECM is wired correctly. Check
that the motor “tyP” in the settings matches the motor manufacturer. 16Z, 18Z, 20Z, 22Z, 25Z, 28Z do not
send RPM feedback.
NOTE: A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is required to adjust the speed control of a non-
electrically commutated 3-phase direct-drive motor.
