SmartFan® Nimbus-HP

REMOTE TRANSDUCER & FIXED SPEED SETTINGS


Nimbus-HP AC Motor Speed Control for Motors, Fans & Pumps - Remote Transducer

USING REMOTE POWERED TRANSDUCER MODE

When used in the remote transducer mode, the Nimbus-HP can power and control from most 0-5VDC transducers (humidity, pressure, flow etc.) with a maximum supply current of 5mA. To set the Nimbus to remote transducer mode, see table 2.

Setting Control Parameters (switch #3, 4, 5, 6)
To customize the control slope to your transducer, use DIP switches 3 & 4 to set idle or minimum speed voltage, use switches 5 & 6 to set full speed control voltage. See table 6 and figure 4 for details.

Fan On / Fan Off Feature (switch #1)
To turn fans off automatically when transducer voltage drops below VDC (min), set switch #1 to the ON position. To keep fans running at idle speed below the VDC (min), set switch #1 to the OFF position. See figure 4.

Setting Idle Speed (switch #2)
The idle speed is the minimum voltage (as a % of supply voltage) supplied to the fan. When used in the remote transducer mode, the Nimbus-HP can be set for idle speeds of 30% by setting DIP switch #2 to OFF or 60% by setting DIP switch #2 to ON. Other idle speeds can be supplied, contact customer service for details. See figure 4.

USING FIXED SPEED MODE

Automatic speed control can be overridden in the fixed speed mode. To set the Nimbus-HP to fixed speed mode, see table 2. In the fixed speed mode, the user can select motor voltages from 27% to 99% (in 1% or 2% increments) of supply voltage using DIP switches 1 through 6, see table 7 below.
