FAN FAIL DETECTION UNIT WITH TEMP.

MONITORING
Part No: UL02-FFTDU-ALM-4-20mA

Introduction:
The UL02-FFTDU-ALM-4-20mA is a micro-controller based AC Fan fail
detection unit with temperature indication offered in a highly compact,
rugged and reliable execution. The instrument has three keys on the
front panel, with which the operator can set the parameters and
configure the instrument as desired. A three digit 7-segment digital
display is provided on the front panel which indicates the ambient
cabinet temperature in real time. The display can indicate any scale
range between 000 to 099 units (temperature) value in degree Celsius
(°C). It has retransmission Analog Output of 4-20mA, can be
configurable to any temperature value.

In case of power failure, the set points are retained in memory.

The Fan detection module provides powered output contacts for wiring
the two AC Fans independently through internal control relays.

The instrument also senses the normal healthy current being drawn by
each fan and provides short-circuit and open-circuit protection by cutting
off the supply to the corresponding Fan in case any abnormality is
detected. All these updating of upper current limit for rotor block
detection is done automatically. The instrument operates on universal
SMPS AC power supply of 90 to 270 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Operations and Settings:

The Instrument has three keys on the front panel, the functions of which are as below:

The P or PROGRAM key is the central key to be used to access the settings of the instrument.
Pressing this Key allows the operator to view, change and save the parameters i.e. High alarm Set
point
The Incrementing key allows the operator to select the numeral on an increasing scale. The digit will
sequentially display 00, 01, 02 …. 99 on each pressing of the key. This may be used to set the HIGH
ALARM set point. The incrementing speed increases if the key is kept pressed.

This is Reset Key as well as Decrementing key allows the operator to select the numeral on a
decreasing scale. The digit will sequentially display 99, 98, 97….00 on each pressing of the key. This
may be used to set the HIGH ALARM set point. The decrementing speed increases if the key is kept
pressed. Reset Key is to be pressed in the event of fault condition.

On Power ON, the instrument takes approximately 30 seconds for initialization then the UL02-FFTDU-ALM display will
show the ambient temperature and the LEDs will indicate the Fan status and Alarm status. The fan monitoring is indicated
by dual-color LEDs with green color for healthy condition and RED color for fault. If the temperature sensor fails or
becomes “Open”, the display will show ‘TF’. The other notations for various menu options are as below:

Fault Reset:

Another Use of Decrement key ( Key)

Key The Key must be used as a RESET key in the event of any fault condition.

Testing Procedure:

Once Powered ON the UNIT, it takes 30 sec to sense the fan’s current, and update the upper current limit automatically.
After 30 sec block the fan to check rotor block condition, Fan will get stopped in 4 to 5 seconds.
Note: User don’t have to change any configuration manually of L1, H1, L2, H2 as we use to do in OLD Model

*Note: Specifications are subject to change due to continuous development.
