The Smart& Easy Control Module can only switch to GND or “Minus”. Positive voltages (e.g. +12 V) cannot be switched!
Attention: Outputs must not come into contact with 230 V!
The power supply to the pump must be provided separately.
No. | Name | Description |
1 | GND | Ground Connection → Already connected internally to the other terminals (no bridges required) |
2 / 3 | Stop (NC) / Run (NO) | Stop = closed / Run = open |
4 | Low | Slow pump speed |
5 | Med | Medium pump speed |
6 | High | Increased pump speed |
Depending on the pump model/manufacturer used, there are different connection scenarios to the digital inputs. The most common models are covered here and described below.
Important:
1) Frequency-controlled pumps from other manufacturers can be controlled as long as their connection logic matches that of one of the pumps described below.
In any case, always consult the pump manufacturer’s operating instructions and make sure that you have read and understood all connection instructions as well as all safety instructions.
2) Before connecting the digital input cable to the Smart&Easy Control Module, switch off the entire electrical system.
3) The digital inputs are dry contacts that must never be associated with the phase, neutral or ground of the filter cabinet’s power supply, as this can damage the pump. If you don’t need one of the wires of the cable for the external digital inputs, electrically insulate it.
