SKOV-31-Speed-Controller-PRODUCT

Product description

  • DOL 31 is a single-phase triac speed controller for e.g. regulation of fans, stand-alone heating units or light.
  • DOL 31 can with advantage be used in applications where a complete climate controller is not required.
  • DOL 31 can be set to three different modes of operation:
  • Automatic – Master mode in which the DOL 31 output is controlled on the basis of the ambient temperature.
  • Each DOL 31 is supplied with one DOL 12 temperature sensor.
  • Automatic – Slave mode in which the DOL 31 output is controlled by a 0-10 V input signal.
  • Manual control in which the DOL 31 output is set manually by means of the keyboard on the front.
  • In addition, DOL 31 has an alarm relay (max. 24 V, 1A), and 1 control relay (max. 230 V, 12 A). The control relay could for instance be used for turning a heat or cooling source on and off.
  • DOL 31 speed controller is available in a 6.8 A and a 16 A version.

Installation guide

Installation, servicing and troubleshooting of all electrical equipment must be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with the applicable national and international standard EN 60204-1 and any other EU standards that are applicable in Europe. The installation of a power supply isolator is required for each motor and power supply to facilitate voltage-free work on the electrical equipment. The power supply isolator is not included.

Cabling
Cables are led through plastic glands in the bottom section. It is recommended to use armored cable in locations where there is a risk of rodent attacks.

Dismantling the AUT-0-MAN switch in DOL 31 16 A

  • Disconnect the supply voltage.
  • Dismantle the AUT-0-MAN switch in order to gain access to the screw terminals.
  • Turn the lock in the opposite direction of the arrow.
  • Set the switch to 0.
  • Dismantle the AUT-0-MAN switch by means of a screwdriver. Push the switch housing to the left.
  • Lift out the switch.
  • Connect power supply in X13-X15.
    • Set the switch to 0.
  • Push the AUT-0-MAN switch to the right.
  • Turn the lock. The arrow indicates the direction.Connect output in X16-X18.

Set output
DOL 31 is manually controlled. Direct control of the output by pressing the up or down key. Output can be set to 0 to 100 %. Min. and max. output are left out of account.
NOTE: Please note that certain fans require a minimum voltage.SKOV-31
-Speed-Controller-FIG-1 \(33\)

Minimum regulation of AC output

  • Setting minimum power on output. The setting is made as a percentage of the supply voltage. Control of the output by pressing the up or down key. Min. setting (0-50 %) cannot exceed 50 %.
  • For use with e.g. heating control:
  • Set minimum output to 0%. DOL 31 will then turn off the output, if there is no need for adjustment.
  • For Automatic Slave mode, see section Set turn off limit [} 25].
    • NOTE: Please note that certain fans require a minimum voltage.SKOV-31-Speed-Controller-FIG-1 \(34\)

Minimum regulation of AC output

  • Setting maximum power on output. The setting is made as a percentage of the supply voltage.
  • Control of the output by pressing the up or down key. Min. setting (50 – 100 %) cannot be set higher than 50 %.SKOV-31-Speed-Controller-FIG-1 \(35\)

Example:

  • Set minimum output = 0 %
  • Triac output = 0 V
  • Set minimum output = 1 %
  • Triac output = 60 V

Active Alarms
Displays the active alarms.

Set temperature alarm

  • Temperature offset is set to activate alarm relay and alarm lamp. Alarm is released in case of high and low temperature.
  • The function is only active in Automatic master mode.SKOV-31-Speed-Controller-FIG-1 \(39\)

Example:

  • Alarm offset is a relative temperature compared to the set temperature.
  • Required temperature = 20 °C
  • Set temperature alarm = ±4 °C
  • The alarm is activated by the temperature.
    • 24 °C

    • <16 °C

Set control temperature

  • Set temperature for activation of the control relay. The function is only active in Automatic master mode.
  • Negative offset value can be used for turning the heating system on/off.
  • Positive offset value can be used for extra cooling.
  • DOL 31 has a 0.5 °C hysteresis.
  • This means that the control relay in the below example is deactivated again when the temperature increase to 12.5 °C.SKOV-31-Speed-Controller-FIG-1 \(41\)
    • 1 = Active control relay
    • 0 = Not active control relay

Example:

  • Control offset is a relative temperature compared to the set temperature.
  • Required temperature = 20 °C
  • Set control offset = -8 °C
  • The control relay is activated by the temperature. 12 °C

Set P band

  • Set the temperature regulation range between min. and max. output.SKOV-31-Speed-Controller-FIG-1 \(43\)

Example:

  • Required temperature = 20 °C
  • Set P band = 4 °C
  • Output min. = 20 °C
  • Output max. = 24 °C

Invert
When using DOL 31 for heating or recirculation, the output can be inverted.SKOV-31-Speed-Controller-FIG-1 \(49\)

Turn off functions
NOTE: These safety functions are only active when DOL 31 runs in Automatic slave mode. DOL 31 can be configured with 2 different safety functions, which ensure a certain mode of operation in case of e.g. malfunction in the controlling climate system.

  1. Safety mode ensures that the DOL 31 output is set to 50 % if the analog input signal gets lower than 0.5 V.
  2. Turn off limit: If safety mode is not selected, it is possible to select a turn off limit. When this function is chosen, the DOL 31 output will be switched off if the analogue input signal is lower than this turn off limit. See section Set turn off limit [} 25].

This means that it is not possible to have both turn off mode and turn off limit activated at the same time.

2 Turn off [} 24]

Turn off
NOTE: The function is only active in Automatic Slave mode. This function can be applied in installations in which security against e.g. ventilation failure is required even though a fault is located on the overhead climate system. If the analog input signal ceases, the output is set to 50% and after 30 seconds the alarm is activated.SKOV-31-Speed-Controller-FIG-1
\(50\)

Not inverted
If the analog control signal reaches a level lower than 0.5 V.

Inverted
If the analog control signal exceeds 9.5 V.

Set turn off limit

  • NOTE: The function is only active in Automatic Slave mode.
  • The function is applied if there is a requirement for the DOL 31 output to be cut off completely at a certain voltage on the analog control signal (turn off limit).
  • If the turn off limit is set to 0 V, the function is inactive and the DOL 31 output will remain at minimum (not inverted) or maximum (inverted).SKOV-31-Speed-Controller-FIG-1 \(53\)SKOV-31-Speed-Controller-FIG-1 \(54\)

Replacing Triac
When the DOL 31 is used for light control with incandescent bulbs, the bulbs can short-circuit when failing, causing the triac to break.

  1. Order 130828 DOL 31 – 5 pcs. all-purpose triac, consisting of 5 individual triacs in a bag.
  2. Disconnect the supply voltage to DOL 31.
  3. Remove the defective triac.
  4. Mount the new triac from the bag, tighten the screw and the terminal block well.
  5. Reconnect the supply voltage.
  6. Check that the light can once again be regulated up/down.

Maintenance

Cleaning
Clean the product with a cloth that has been wrung out almost dry in water and avoid using:

  • high-pressure cleaner
