Setting the set flow rate
Each VFC carries a characteristic to determine the setting
values on site (see example, nominal size 160).
min
values below 3 results in an unregulated airflow dependent
on the duct pressure that is not less than
min-unit
.
Set the set flow rate as follows:
•
Determine the setting value for the set flow rate from the
characteristic or the table on page 5.
• Set the values on the
min
-
and
max
potentiometers.
•
Factory setting:
min
= 4
max
= 8
•
Shut-off down to leakage airflow is possible, value to be set 0
Functional test
A functional test can be performed very easily using the service
button and the indicator light.
• Press service button for at least 1 second
•
Actuator turns toward

•
Actuator turns toward

• Actuator returns to control mode
Indicator light provides functional information

Permanently on
: Position set
•
Flashing once a second : Actuator operating
•
Flashing twice a second : Actuator is jammed and stationary
•
Off
: No supply voltage

The relationships between the setting value and output signal
U, or control signal w, are shown in the two characteristics on
the left.
The output signal does not correspond to the currently
measured volume flow rate, but reflects the setpoint value.
Example:
Factory set values:
min
= 4
min
= 8
Required value: 6
--> Required control signal: 5 V
Available output signal: 6 V corresponding to set value 6
