5.1 Wiring Diagram
The module supports 4-wire AC motors. Refer to the diagrams below for correct wiring with or without a traditional panel switch.
Image: Detailed wiring diagram showing connections for the module, AC motor, L/N inputs, and an optional traditional wired wall switch.
Image: Two wiring configurations: one showing the module connected with a traditional panel switch, and another showing it connected directly to the power supply and AC motor without a panel switch.
Wiring Steps:
- Disconnect Power: Turn off the main power supply to the circuit you are working on.
- Connect Power Input: Connect the Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires from your AC power supply to the corresponding L and N terminals on the module.
- Connect Motor: Connect the AC motor's wires to the L1 (Up), L2 (Down), and N (Neutral) terminals on the module. Ensure the motor's ground wire is properly connected to the electrical system's ground.
- Connect Panel Switch (Optional): If using a traditional panel switch, connect its wires to the S1 and S2 terminals on the module, and the common wire to the L terminal.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all wire connections are tight and secure.
- Mount Module: Carefully place the module into the electrical box or junction box.
- Restore Power: Turn the main power supply back on.
6. Setup
