Daisy chaining
WARNING: Wait three minutes after disconnecting before servicing!
The following illustrations and parameter changes enable daisy chaining of the Basic 6

fan speed controller. The first fan provides a
start/stop contact and 0–10 VDC analog speed reference for the downstream fan controller. The downstream fan controller provides
a new start/stop contact and 0–10 VDC analog speed reference for the following downstream fan controller. This preferred method of
linking the fan controllers together ensures minimal signal loss of command signals in larger multi-fan systems.
Assertion Level Switch (ALSW)
The fan controller ships with the onboard digital I/O configured for Sourcing (PNP) operation. Terminal 4 pr15 VDC to be
used as a supply voltage for user-supplied switches and accessories. For this 3-wire daisy chaining application, the downstream fan
controllers must be switched to Sinking (NPN) operation. Terminal 4 will then provide a DC common connection and allow the analog
signal and start stop signal to share that common.
The Assertion Level Switch above terminal 4 must be switched from (+) to ( - )
on all downstream fan controllers for proper daisy chaining operation prior to powerup, parameter changes and operation.
Parameter changes (for first controller)
Parameter
Description
Relay Output Function
Change from “0” for None to “1” for Run.
TB-30 Output
Change from “0” for None to “1” for 0–10 VDC
output (scaled to drive output frequency).
TB-30 Scaling Frequency
Change to equal the frequency setting of P103
Maximum Frequency.
Speed at Max Signal
Change to equal the frequency setting of P103
Maximum Frequency.
Note: Depending on the AWG and distance of the low voltage wiring, the downstream fans may run slightly slower than the leading fan.
If this occurs, P161 Speed at Max Signal can be used to introduce a minor command reference overshoot to compensate for the analog
voltage drop. At each downstream fan (beginning with the first downstream fan), adjust the value of P161 up 0.1 to 0.2 Hz increments
until the fan’s output frequency matches that of the lead fan.
