GSE - temperature and minimum speed controller with socket (1 fan 5A)

GSE temperature and minimum-speed controller with 5A socket is a regulator for controlling the speed of one or more extract fans used in indoor growing spaces.

• maintains a constant room temperature
• creates a continuous minimum speed to prevent odour leakage
• max. current: 5.0A
• max. load: 1150W

Setting range:

• temperature: 20C° to 30C°
• min. speed: off, 20% to 100%

Technical specifications:

• dimensions W x H x D: 75x110x90mm.
• max. current: 5.0A
• max. load: 1150W
• temperature sensor with a 2m. cable
• voltage: 230V, 50Hz

Setting range:

• temperature: 20C° to 30C°
• min. speed: off, 20% to 100%

Installation:

• Plug the fan into socket (5). Connect the temperature sensor (7), which is supplied with a 2m cable, to the controller, then choose the sensor location where you want to take the measurement.
• Ensure it is not directly exposed to a heat source or a flow of light to obtain the most accurate measurement of the surrounding air. Now plug the controller plug (6) into an external outlet. The controller initializes; this can take up to 10 seconds. The green power LED (3) flashes and the fans operate at 50% power. After initialization, the green power LED (3) remains continuously lit — the controller regulates from that point onward.

Instructions:

1. Use the temperature-setting knob (1) to set the desired temperature, for example 24°C.
2. Use the second knob to set the minimum speed (2), below which the speed must never fall during regulation; for example, set it to 20%.
3. The minimum-speed setting has priority and always overrides the temperature setting. If you set the minimum-speed setting (2) to OFF, the fan stops when the measured temperature is below the set temperature. The minimum-speed setting (2) has a 20% start-up boost to give the fan sufficient power to run at low speed.
4. Hysteresis is a fixed value of 2°C. Hysteresis is the controlled fan-speed range. Within these 2°C, the fan speed changes from the lowest point set by the minimum-speed setting (2) to the highest regulation point, 100% fan speed, depending on temperature.
5. While the temperature measured by sensor (7) is below your setting (24°C), the minimum-speed controller keeps the fan running at the minimum-speed setting (20%). When the temperature rises above 24°C, the temperature LED (4) turns on and the fan speed begins to increase according to temperature over the next 2°C to 100%, until it reaches 26°C.
6. Small fans can vary from 0-100%, but if power consumption is higher (large fans), the controller operates semi-variable and automatically switches to 100% without variable control. The controller remains on until the temperature drops.
7. Warning! Setting a high minimum speed with large fans will make them run at 100% due to the internal overheating protection! Reduce the minimum speed!
