3. Setup and Wiring
Proper wiring is crucial for safe and effective operation. Refer to the wiring diagram below and ensure all connections are secure and correct. The power supply voltage must match the governor's specified voltage (220V AC).
Wiring Instructions:
- Power Supply (N, L): Connect the main AC power supply (220V) to the N (Neutral) and L (Live) terminals. It is recommended to use a circuit breaker (QF) for protection against short circuits.
- Motor Connections (U1, U2, Z1, Z2): Connect the motor's main winding to U1 and U2, and the secondary winding to Z1 and Z2 as indicated in the diagram. Ensure the motor power is consistent with the governor's rated power (up to 400W).
- Velocity Feedback (S1, S2): Connect the velocity feedback wires from the motor to S1 and S2 terminals.
- External Control (K1, K2, 0V):
- REV (Reverse): Connect an external switch between K1 and 0V for reverse rotation control.
- FWD (Forward): Connect an external switch between K2 and 0V for forward rotation control.
- If using external switches, ensure F-03 parameter is set appropriately (2 or 3).

If the F-03 is set to 2, the motor can be started and stopped by the external switch. If it is set to 3, the motor can be started and stopped by the external switch, and the motor can be stopped by the panel button. If it is set to 4, the motor can be started and stopped by the panel button, and the motor can be stopped by the external switch. The working state is not saved during power-off. | 1 |

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your UX-52 AC Motor Speed Regulator, follow these general maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Keep the unit clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating. Do not block the ventilation slots.
- Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or damage.
- Environment: Operate the speed regulator in a dry, well-ventilated environment, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, and corrosive substances.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your UX-52 AC Motor Speed Regulator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
Alarm Exit:
- If an alarm is triggered, it often indicates an overload or locked motor condition.
Troubleshooting Methods:
- Check Connections: Verify all wiring connections are correct and secure, especially motor and power connections.
- Abnormal Counter-Force: If there is an abnormal counter-force between the governor and the motor, investigate the mechanical load or motor condition.
- Disarming Alarm: To disarm an alarm, disconnect and then reconnect the power supply to the unit.
- Motor Overload: Ensure the motor's power rating is within the 6W-400W range supported by the UX-52. An undersized or oversized motor can cause issues.
- Blocked Rotation: The blocking-protection function helps prevent damage from a blocked rotor. If the motor is blocked, remove the obstruction. Note that this function protects against blocked rotation overload, but not non-blocked rotation overload.
7. User Tips
- Motor Compatibility: This speed regulator is designed for single-phase AC motors. Ensure your motor is compatible before installation. It supports motors up to 400W.
- Voltage Matching: Always verify that your motor's operating voltage and the power supply voltage match the 220V AC requirement of the UX-52. Using a 110V AC motor with a 220V controller (or vice-versa) without proper conversion will lead to malfunction or damage.
- Application: While suitable for various single-phase AC motor applications, confirm the motor's power and type (e.g., not all washing machine motors are compatible or within the power range).
