You can use either an external 10K potentiometer (not included) or a 0-10V dc control signal.

The dc control signal input is electrically isolated from the mains. The board can be modified to accept an input signal range of 0 - 5Vdc by soldering a wire link across resistor R6. Signal input operation can be set so the output is either directly or inversely proportional to the control signal.

- PRODUCT SELECTION NOTES: Suitable for controlling most 230Vac 50Hz single-phase universal motors, light regulators, 230V signals through automation, etc NOT suitable for use with synchronous AC motors, capacitor-start/run AC motors or inductive loads like halogen or PL lamps, neon, etc.. The motor controller should have an output load capacity at least 25% above the motors peak power requirement. Please do NOT rely on motor rating plates for power consumption figures as they often quote average not peak power.

You should verify the actual peak power at start-up and under full load before selecting an appropriate size motor controller. - Suitable for use with DIN-RAIL Mounting (Order Code C7589).
