motor speeD regulator 12/24VDC 5A

Art.- No. 11 91 525

this speeD coNtrol was specially DesigNeD for low Voltage

electric motors. The main use is inﬁnitely variable rate control of electric DC motors,

model cars, windscreen wiper motors as well as electric tools. Due to the pulse width modu-

lation of 20 Hz, the power dissipation stays low. By using a MOSFET transistor the outgoing

power can be set between 0 A and 5 A. The electronics of the device are protected, even if

the motor should stop unexpectedly. By using a second, additional potentiometer, you have

the possibility of stabilizing the revs per minute, independent of the load connected. The com-

bination guarantees a constant performance of the connected motor, even if the load varies.

HIGHLIGHTS

– High modulation frequency

(approx. 20 kHz), low noise.

– High efﬁciency by using a

power MOSFET.

– Power output can be adjusted.

– Adjustable “R x I” – compensation

(load compensation)

– Electronic short-circuit and

overload protection.

– Panel mount.

12 to 24 V and maximum power consumption of 5 A. Any other use is prohibited.

This device has been manufactured and checked according to the general safety standards.

The user is obligated to follow the instruction manual and safety instructions carefully.

2. safety

– The device may only be used in combination with the designated voltage range.

– Connecting a device with a power consumption of more than 5 A can cause damage to the

unit and be hazardous for your health.

– Be sure to use a cable with sufﬁcient gauge when installing the control unit.

– Be sure to install fuses within the setup.

– The device should not be installed in close vicinity of magnets or HF ﬁelds as these can

inﬂuence the performance.

– The surrounding temperature should be between –20°C and 40°C.

– This device has been designed for indoor use only. Make sure that the alarm unit is not

subjected to high humidity or water.

– If the device has been subjected to colder temperatures and is taken into a warm surrounding,

then ﬁrst let it adapt to the surrounding temperature, so that condensation cannot cause

damage.

– Make sure that there are no inﬂammable liquids, gases or dust sources in the near vicinity of

the device during use.

– This device is not a toy and should not be handled by infants and children under 14.

– This device should only be operated by an expert or a person who is qualiﬁed to do so.

– When installed in public buildings all rules and regulations referring to public installation

need to be followed.

– If a device needs to be repaired at any time, it may only be repaired with original compo-

nents. The use of different components can lead to serious damages and has a danger of

electrocution.

– If you have doubts on the function or questions, please contact your local dealer or our

service center.

– No liabilities will be taken for damages or claims resulting out of not reading and/or not

following the user guide and/or any form of modiﬁcation on or in the product. Under these

circumstances, no warranty services will be given.

– Liability cannot be taken for consequential damages.

3. DirectioNs oN the coNtrol carD pcB

These are directions for the use of the Control Card PCB

with electric motors and drive systems according to the

current EG Machinery Directive, EMV Directive and Low

Voltage Directory.

The PCB may only be installed and operated by an expert

or a person who is qualiﬁed to do so. All VDE-Regulations

must be followed accordingly. The Control Card PCB

cannot be used as a stand-alone unit. CE marking is only

required for fully assembled, fully functioning devices.

The Control Card PCB or and electronic motor are only

components of a complete system and do not therefore

fall under the rule of individual CE approval.

This controller is designed for controlling the DC power

output and can be used to control the speed of connected

electric motors or the brightness of low voltage lamps.

The user is obliged that the device and the connected

devices are assembled and mounted according to be

applicable regulations.

4. poteNtiometer aND fuNctioN

R6 „I LIM“: adjusts the power output between 0.2 A-5 A.

R7 „PWM“: “PWM”: adjusts the revs per minute of the connected motor from 0% to 100%.

R8 „RxI“: adjusts the “RxI”-compensation. The trimmer is adjusted in such a way that the speed

deviation is adjusted to minimum at the lowest possible speed. Should the speed vary, then the “RxI”

needs to be turned to the left.

5. iNstallatioN

An external power supply is needed. The device may only be installed and operated by an expert

or a person who is qualiﬁed to do so. All VDE-Regulations must be followed accordingly.

Operating the controller

1. The power supply required needs a DC voltage of 10–28 V. The ﬂuctuation should be less than

20% at maximum load. The connecting wires to „Netzteil – Gerät“ and „Gerät – Motor“ should

be kept as short as possible and have a sufﬁcient thickness. An external fuse is recommended,

as a reverse voltage will damage the device.

2. The controller can only be ﬁxed to the front blend by using the nut attached to the potentiometer.

Do this, the hole 10 mm is required. If the controller is mounted in a device subjected to

vibration, the controller should be ﬁxed with two additional 3 mm screws.

3. The potentiometer R6 should ﬁrst be set to full left (0). The adjustment should be done in the

following steps:

a) Turn the potentiometer R8 to the full left. RxI compensation is switched off.

b) Turn the potentiometer R6 to the position required for use.

c) Set the potentiometer R7 to 30–50%.

d) Begin adding RxI compensation by turning the potentiometer R8 to the right and at the same time

adding the load to the electric motor. If the motor starts stuttering or running at different speeds,

then lessen the RxI compensation until the motor is running stable again, by turning to the left.

6. Trouble Shooting

Only use the device if it is functioning without disturbance. If there is any malfunction, switch off the

device immediately and consult a specialist. The device may only be reinstalled after it has been

checked thoroughly. Signs of malfunction are if:

– The device is visibly damaged.

– The device is malfunctioning.

– Attached cables or the housing has come loose.

Repairs may only be done by a qualiﬁed person or a specialist using original components and

parts. There is the danger of electrocution.
