SmartFan®AC-VX
TECHNICAL DATA
AC-VX Motor Speed Control for Motors, Fans and PumpsOperation/Installation Manual
TESTING & TECHNICAL DATA
Fan/Motor Compatibility: The AC-VX is compatible with many PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) and shaded pole motors. The AC-VX is not compatible with capacitor start motors. Confirm TRIAC controllability with the motor manufacturer before installation. Attempting to control a motor that is not compatible could cause excessive heating and could permanently damage the motor.
Voltage Loss:
For a typical fan, expect a voltage drop to the fan of about 4-10% at full voltage.
Changing Control Settings: The AC-VX will not recognize any changes in jumper settings made with power applied. Power must be turned OFF before changing any jumper settings.
Minimum Motor currents: Motors may not control properly if the total current draw is less than 0.5 Amp.
Maximum Motor currents: Some motors draw higher current at less than maximum voltage. Contact motor manufacturer for details.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Output Always Measuring Full Voltage: (1) No motor connected. AC-VX requires a minimum 0.50 Amp load. (2) Wiring error bypassing AC-VX with “pigtailed” neutral wires. (3) Wrong or faulty sensor. (4) Incorrect jumper settings. (5) AC-VX damaged or defective.
Output always measuring zero volts: (1) No power to the AC-VX. (2) Wiring error or broken power wire(s). (3) Sensor/control signal is low or not connected. (4) Incorrect jumper settings. (5) AC-VX damaged or defective.
Output measuring wrong voltage: (1) wrong or faulty sensor. (2) Incorrect jumper settings. (3) AC-VX damaged or defective.
