IEC fan / damper modulating signal

3.6  Modulating control signal

The control signal input connections depend on the activated control 
algorithm.

Cables

up to 30 m: two-wire cables cross-section 0.5 mm

2

 (AWG20)

To control the section for direct humidification (DEC: Direct Evaporative 
Cooling), the signal can come from:

• 

modulating control with external controller

• 

modulating control with limit probe (temperature or humidity)

• 

modulating control with humidity probe

• 

modulating control with humidity probe and limit probe 
(temperature or humidity

To control the section for indirect humidification (IEC: Indirect Evaporative 
Cooling), on the other hand, the signal can come from:

• 

modulating control with external signal

• 

modulating control with limit signal (temperature or humidity 
probe or air flow-rate/flow limit signal)

• 

modulating control with temperature probe

• 

modulating control with temperature probe with limit signal 
(temperature or humidity probe or air flow-rate/flow limit 
signal)

Tab. 3.c

To set the type of operation, control and signal: “installer menu > control 
type 

(see chap. 9.11 Installer Menu).”

Note: The use of shielded cables is recommended. The cables must 
not be lodged near power cables at 230 V or near remote control 

switch wiring: this way, the risk of measurement error risks from 
electromagnetic interference can be avoided.

Modulating control with external controller (contr.  P)

For humidification / direct evaporative cooling (DEC):

0...1 V; 0...10 V; 2...10 V; 0...20 mA; 4...20 mA.
