Procedures
Electrical Connections
Ensure all electrical connections are tight and correctly terminated.
Electrical Earthing
Check that the unit is correctly earthed.
Voltage
Measure the voltage at the following points and record on the maintenance sheet:
•
Voltage at busbar
•
Dedicated power supply
•
Voltage at permanent supply
•
Control voltage at transformer (min 22.5V, max 25V)
The voltage measurements should be carried out with the unit MCB’s turned off.
EC Fan Interrogation
The EC fans can be interrogated by connecting a hardware interface kit from the fan to a PC. The kit comprises of a
USB to RS232 9-pin “D-type” adapter. This should be installed on the PC with the software supplied with the kit.
The “COM” port of the USB to RS232 adapter should be assigned to a free COM port between COM 1 and 4 via the
system device manager.
Connect the RS232 to RS485 interface converter to the USB port of your PC via the USB to RS232 serial interface lead
and connect the RS485 output to the fan.
