PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The DRY electronic fan speed controller is suitable for manual regulation of the speed of single phase (230 VAC / 50–60 Hz) voltage controllable motors / fans from low to high. These electronic fan speed controllers have integrated OFF position of the knob. It is suitable for DIN rail mounting onto a standard 35 mm rail (according to EN 50022). Multiple fans can be connected as long as the current limit is not exceeded. The electronic fan speed controller has a trimmer for minimum speed setting and an additional unregulated (230 VAC) output to connect external devices such as: dampers, relays, run indicators or to disable the OFF position of the device.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS IN STEPS
Before you start mounting the unit, read carefully “Safety and Precautions“. Then proceed with the following mounting steps:
1. Switch off the power supply.
2. Mount the controller on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Pull the locking clip before you place the unit onto the rail, and then release the locking clip back to its original position to fix the enclosure to the rail (See Fig. 1 DIN rail locking clip)

4. Do the wiring according to the wiring diagram (see Fig. 4) using the legend information from section “Wiring and connections“.
5. Switch on the power supply.
6. Verify if the green LED is on.

OPERATIONAL DIAGRAM
Use a regular screwdriiver to adjust the desired output voltage from 100 VAC to 230 VAC via the integrated trimmer on the device. The factory preset setting of the voltage is 100 VAC. Turn the trimmer clockwise to set the maximum speed of the fan and counterwise to set the fan speed at minimum.
When you’re ready, adjust the desired fan speed, turning the main knob clockwise to maximum and counterwise to minimum.

ATTENTION
The fuse of the electronic fan speed controllers from DRY series is made from high-quality ceramic 5*20 mm material. In case of failure, you can replace it. Just remove the front cover and replace the fuse with another one.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Avoid shocks and extreme conditions; stock in original packing.
TROUBLESHOOTING
After connecting the device to the fan, if it doesn’t work, proceed with the following
steps:
- Check the power supply.
- Check the fuse.
- Verify the wiring, according to the “Wiring and connections” chapter.
