Compact controller 227VM

FläktGroup compact controller 227VM is a complete unit comprising actuator, a dynamic differential pressure sensor for
pressure-independent controls and user interface with 3-digit display which enables monitoring the air flow and setting
up values without external equipment.
The controller operating range is set to a standard value of 0 - 10V on delivery. To change operating range to 2 - 10 V see
Setting the values, quick reference guide.
The controller can also be force controlled via closing contacts (timer, presence detector, etc) to override the set min or
max air flow. It is also possible to use the controller with a CAV function.

Connection diagram User interface

Actuators are provided with color coded and numbered
wires.

BU-BN operating voltage 24 VAC/VDC On the cover of the actuator there are two selectors, value
BU-BK control signal 0...10 V / 2...10 V selector (1) and function selector (2).
BU-GY feedback signal 0...10 V / 2...10 V
Load for output GY max. 0,5 mA Also there is the 3-digit display (3) to show selected
functions, values and units.
Observe polarity on secondary of transformers. All
common and signal (–) must be connected in line.
Incorrect polarity can cause controller damage or
operation error. Provide overload protection for line
voltage and disconnect as required. Consider voltage
drops when connecting multiply actuators in parallel.
See “STRA Room controller Installation and
maintenance”-manual for detailed instructions how
to connect the actuator to FläktGroup room controller.
When using 3rd party controllers, notice that a separate
transformer should be used for the controller if the
controller power is full-wave rectified.
