Notes on operation

Intended use

Mains supply

The KL2791 speed controller terminal is designed for direct mains operation (230 VAC/120 VAC) without up-circuit transformer.

Note

No upstream transformers!

Excessive inductances in the supply line for the speed controller terminal lead to destruction of the speed controller terminal in the event of a short circuit!
Automatic load detection does not operate reliably with an upstream transformer.

Note

Do not mix capacitive and inductive loads!

Capacitive and inductive loads must not be mixed at a speed controller terminal!

Setting mode

Note

Use the correct setting mode!

Full-wave control:
As a basic principle, full-wave control is suitable for single-phase rotary AC motors.

Leading edge phase control:
In motors that are very dynamic, full-wave control can lead to unbalance. The leading edge phase control operating mode is designed for such motors. It ensures smooth operation, although under certain circumstances it may adversely affect the service life of the motor.

Mixed control:
Mixed control provides strikes a balance between full-wave control and leading edge phase control and therefore offers a compromise between smooth operation and motor protection.

Minimum interruption of mains supply

Note

Minimum mains interruption

Any interruption of the mains supply for the speed controller terminal may not be shorter than 3 seconds (e.g. switching off and on again of an automatic circuit-breaker)!
With shorter interruptions, the speed controller would not lose its mains synchronization and may operate the load with the wrong control mode (due to the switch-on edge).
With wound transformers, this may lead to destruction of the speed controller terminal!
