Eletor IC-AC

ELETOR IC-AC controller - control of air inlets and curtain systems in gravity ventilation.

Controller for air inlet actuators and winches driven by AC motors, with forward/reverse operation and a potentiometer for reading the current position. The controller converts a 0-10V signal into an air inlet opening level and also enables manual control.

Specifications and features:

• operating modes: MANUAL, AUTO;
• maximum output current 2A;
• input signal - control: 0-10V, 2-10V, 10-0V, 10-2V;
• actuator operation can be inverted;
• 2-10V (10-2V) control voltage monitoring - if the control signal is lost (due to a damaged cable or controller), the inlets will open to the preset position;
• IP56 sealed enclosure;
• menu: Polish, English, Ukrainian;

The controller is designed for air inlet control systems equipped with a 230V actuator with a potentiometer. It enables precise calibration of the air inlets' end positions - closed and open. In automatic mode, it controls the position of the air inlets based on the potentiometer reading, adjusting the actuator in proportion to the control signal supplied. If the control voltage is lost, the controller will set the inlets to any emergency position specified as a percentage in the menu.

The controller also has a manual mode, which allows the actuator to be controlled using the plus/minus keys.

The controller protects its inputs against overvoltage and incorrect control signals. In addition, the output is equipped with an interference suppression circuit - an RC snubber - which extends the service life of the output relays.

Applications of the IC-AC controller

• pig houses, poultry houses and cowsheds with a large number of air inlets;
• livestock buildings with complex, extensive air inlet cabling;
• large livestock buildings where multiple actuators are required to drive the air inlets;
• curtain-sided livestock buildings;
• livestock buildings with controlled gravity ventilation;

The diagram below shows, using colour coding, how to connect the IC-AC controller to an LA350 linear actuator and ventilation controller.

The ELETOR IC-AC controller is compatible with 230V actuators:

• REVENTA LR 3000 V5;
• DELTAFAN SL-230V, 60cm;
• CANARM VA1000;
• Hog Slat® HS667-24 Linear Actuator
• RIDDER-RW45 and others;
• TOMUU-U12;

Example of using the ELETOR IC-AC controller in a building with curtain ventilation

The device can be used in installations with a ~3x400V geared motor; in this case, a motor protection device combined with a reversing unit must be fitted at the controller output.
