values of the current option.

6.1.2 Programming options

CHANGE SPEED 1

"SPEED 1" is the speed at which the fan runs when the control line

(brown wire) is not connected.

If this option is chosen with the "Select" button, the currently pro-

grammed speed is displayed (speed inrpm).

This speed can be varied in steps of 10rpm - down to a minimum speed

of 700 rpm.

In the case of fans with an extended range of functions (*ESM+), the

minimum speed can be reduced to 300rpm. Speeds below 300rpm

cannot be entered; this would cause the programming unit to switch to

the "0rpm" (standby) setting in the next step.

1. Use the "Arrow right/left" buttons to set the required speed value.

Holding down the "Arrow right/left" button accelerates the rate of

change of the value.

NOTE

Observe the speed limit values

When programming, pay attention to the speed limit values

speciﬁed in the product documentation for the fan. If there is

no documentation available and no ebm-papst recommenda-

tion, never use a value higher than the speed values given on

the rating plate.

2. Press the "Select" button to conﬁrm this value. Programming of

the fan takes just a few seconds. The message PROGRAMMING

COMPLETE appears following successful programming.

An error message will be displayed if a communication error has oc-

curred. This is generally the result of a poor connection between the fan

and the programming unit.

➔Check the connection/connector and start the routine again.

Change Speed 2

"Speed 2" is the speed at which the fan runs when the control line

(brown wire) is connected to L (Live) or N (Neutral). If this option is

chosen with the "Select" button, the currently programmed speed is

displayed (speed inrpm). The same programming routine applies as for

CHANGE SPEED 1.

6.1.3 Transferring a parameter set to several fans (clone

function)

The clone function described below is available for the handheld pro-

gramming unit as of ﬁrmware v3.2.1. The ﬁrmware version can be read

out in the "VERSION" menu.

MANU DIRECTION (manual direction reversal)

The control line (brown wire) inﬂuences the set value and the direction

of rotation of the fan.

The speed and direction of rotation are switched manually with the

brown control line. If the brown control line is not connected to either L1

or N, the fan runs at "SPEED1" in the standard direction of rotation. If

the brown control line is connected to L1 or N, the fan runs at "SPEED2"

in the direction opposite to the standard direction of rotation.

Automatic, time-controlled reverse operation: The control line (brown

wire) has no inﬂuence on the fan.

- Press the "Select" button to activate the option.

6.3 Application example

"CHANGE SPEED 1" = 2000 rpm

"CHANGE SPEED 2" = 1500 rpm

"OPERATION MODE" = AUTO DIRECTION

"TEST TIME" = 10 s

"TIME 1" = 24 h

"TIME 2" = 15 min

With the above-mentioned parameters the fan runs at a speed of 2000

rpm in the standard direction of rotation.

After 24 hours the direction of rotation is reversed for 15 minutes.

During this period the fan runs at a speed of 1500 rpm in the direction

opposite to the standard direction of rotation.

Please note that after switching on the power supply the fan runs in the

direction opposite to the standard direction of rotation for a once-only

period of 10 seconds in this case (production-related test time).

NOTE

The fan should not be permanently operated in the direction

opposite to the preferred direction of rotation speciﬁed in the

data sheet, as it does not then attain optimum efﬁciency. For

ideal operation we recommend running the fan in the normal

direction of air ﬂow.
