Before opening DRHX

, the mains voltage must be 

disconnected for at least 3 minutes

 

to ensure that there is no risk of 

dangerous residual currents in electronic circuits or capacitors. If DRHX has no operating signal, but natural drafts through the air 
handling unit cause the rotor and thus the stepper motor to rotate, there is a risk that the stepper motor will induce voltage on the 
DRHX stepper motor terminals, making them dangerous to touch.

 

When servicing or troubleshooting the stepper motor: The stepper motor can become very hot >60°C. 

 

Troubleshooting 

- also see page 10/11, table 19 and 19.1 Fault and alarm codes

 

 

Troubleshooting

 

when DRHX is controlled via A/D signals (0-10 V): 

 

Symptom 

Cause 

Action 

Stepper motor is not 
running 

Lacking supply voltage 

Check the voltage supply (230 V AC) to DRHX terminals 

”L” and ”N” (Nominal supply voltage 

is stated on the rating 

plate). LED displays constant green light; see table 15.3 page 7 

Check whether short-circuit protection has been activated, 
external controller in the AHU. 

Poor electrical connections 

Check electrical connections. Make sure there are no loose 
threads when connecting to the terminals, use cable shoes 
(multi core). 

Wrong stepper motor for DRHX 
setup 

Check that the DIP switch is correctly set for the selected 
stepper motor size and speed. 

 

 

Check that motor and controller fit: MRHX-2 = DRHX-1055, 
MRHX-4, -8 = DRHX-1220 

 

Lacking operating signal 

A/D control: DRHX can be configured via the RS-485 interface register 
to receive a start signal via an optional digital input. If this function is selected, 
check that the DRHX has 

a signal connected to the "Start/Stop” input 

- digital 

input Din 1, 2 or 3, depending on the configuration. 

Lacking 0-10 V DC control signal 

Check that DRHX receives an operating signal >1.1 V                      

on ”0

-

10 V In”.

 

Active alarm 

Read active alarms via the display and remove what is causing 
the alarm see page 11. 
(can also be read by using DRHX-PC-Tool or via Modbus). 

The stepper motor has been 
stopped 5 times by the built-in 
stepper motor protector because of 
overloading or other alarm 

Reset the alarm by disconnecting the power supply to DRHX 
and reconnecting it after approx. 60 seconds.   

                                   

 

Defective/ broken DRHX controller 

Replace DRHX. 
Never attempt to repair a defective DRHX controller. 
Contact Hoval for support/ replacement/ repair. 

Stepper motor is defective/ broken 

Replace stepper motor.  
Never repair a defective MRHX motor.  
Contact Hoval for support/ replacement/ repair. 

Stepper motor/ rotor 
is running in wrong 
direction 

Wrong phase sequence in stepper 
motor cable 

Swap two phase wires in the controller DRHX. Switch the "V" 
(black) and "W" (blue) cable to change motor direction (see 
page 4) 

DRHX cuts out due to 
an alarm 

Active alarm 
 

Read active alarms via the display and remove what is causing 
the alarm see page 11                                                                                 
(can also be read by using DRHX-PC-Tool or via Modbus). 

The alarm is re-activated after reset 

Repair the cause of repeated alarm activation, see page 11 

The rotor stops 
unintentionally 
(Also see Fault code 
E01 on page 11) 

Internal rotor guard detects a loose 
or defective belt 

Tighten or replace belt 

The internal rotor guard is 
incorrectly calibrated                                           

Make a re-calibration; see " Calibration test for pulley/ 
internal rotor guard" on page 10 

External rotation guard.                      
/ External rotation guard is 
activated even if it's not in use
