Setting up the hydrovar® X Controller to Run in Actuator/Speed Control
The hydrovar® X can be configured for speed control through an analog input. The controlling source can be either an external control device such as a PLC, BMS (Building Management Service), or potentiometer.
I. Configuring the output
The output from the external control device can be either a voltage or current output signal. For speed control using PLC or BMS with an independently powered signal you will use terminal #2 as the input signal, and #3 for the common.
- Sending a 0-20MA or 4-20MA input signal to the drive using analog input #1. You will wire your 0-20MA or 4-20MA signal to Terminal #2 and common on Terminal #3. Power supply if needed is Terminal 5 for 24VDC.
- Sending a 0-10VDC input signal to the drive using analog input #1. You will wire your 0-10VDC signal into Terminal #2 and common on Terminal #3. Power supply if needed is Terminal 26 for 10VDC.
II. Performing a Factory Reset
We will be programming and setting up and commissioning in the startup Genie. If you have previously programmed from the Genie you will need to perform a Factory Restore and restart your programming. Please follow these steps to perform a factory reset or restore.
