Incorrect mechanical installation may cause overheating and impaired performance.
Warning
• OJ-DV must only be installed by trained/experienced personnel.
• To ensure proper cooling of the OJ-DV, it must be positioned in such a way that the passing air
flow (> 3 m/s turbulent air speed) can cool the OJ-DV cooling fins. (3 m/s turbulent air speed is
equivalent to 6.5 m/s laminar air speed). If the OJ-DV is installed in a reduced air flow (< 3 m/s
turbulent air speed) or mounted outside a direct airstream, the output power (kW) will be reduced.
External on-board cooling fan can be added.
• Only OJ-DV-1013 can be installed without considering the above requirements for sucient air
flow over the cooling fins. OJ-DV-1013 is supplied with extra large cooling fins and can therefore
be mounted in still air with an air temperature of max. 40°C.
See Section 25: Technical Specifications.
• To facilitate future service and maintenance tasks, ensure that there is sucient space around the
unit after it has been installed.
• To achieve the specified enclosure rating, the cable glands must not point upwards (see fig. 12.4).
• To prevent water from entering OJ-DV via cables and cable glands, ensure that connection is
performed in such a way that water is prevented from accumulating around the cable in the gland.
See fig. 12.5.
• Check that the surface to which OJ-DV is attached is capable of supporting the entire weight of
the unit.
• OJ-DV can be mounted vertically, horizontally or at an incline. See fig. 12.4.
• OJ-DV must be installed on a flat solid surface.
• To avoid unnecessarily long motor cables (max. 5 m), OJ-DV should be installed as close to the
motor as possible.
• Use only the pre-cut installation holes/screw holes to secure OJ-DV in place.
• OJ-DV must only be installed and commissioned by trained/qualified personnel.
• Check that the data specified on the rating plate of the motor matches the data specified on the
OJ-DV rating plate.
• Incorrect electrical installation may cause a risk of severe or fatal personal injury.
Warning
13.1 Dangerous induced voltage (Windmilling)
• If natural drafts through the duct system cause the fan to rotate even when it has not received an
operating signal (called windmilling), there is a risk that the motor will induce voltage on the OJ-DV
motor terminals, making them dangerous to touch.
Caution
13.2 EMC-compliant installation
• Always use shielded cables as motor cables.
• Shielded cable is not necessary for I/O signal cables and Modbus cables.
• Cable shields must always be electrically connected to the earthed product enclosure.
• Use the internal, factory-fitted cable clamps to ensure proper shield connection.
• Never convey mains voltage, motor connections and control signals in the same cable.
• The +24 VDC from the OJ-DV is not intended to be used as power supply for third party products.
If the +24 is used for power supply to third party products, the product might not fulfill the EMC
regulations.
Note
13.3 Short-circuit protection – Power supply
• Short-circuit protection for the supply side of OJ-DV is not provided together with the product.
• Correct short-circuit protection at the power supply input side on the OJ-DV must always be used
in accordance with local and international regulations.
• Short-circuit protection equipment must as a minimum have a tripping curve “C” conforming to
IEC 60898-1.
• Short-circuit protection is supplied by the installer.
Warning
13.4 PERSONAL PROTECTION - USE OF RCDs (TT-system), DIRECT CURRENT (AC/DC) RISK
This product can cause a DC current in the ground protective conductor in the event of a ground
fault.
If the 3 phases to the OJ-DV are not switched in at exactly the same time, then there will be a
generated current in the earthing/ground conductor during the switching time until all 3 phases are
connected.
Take notice of the following precautions:
• If a residual current device (RCD) is used for extra personal protection, use only an RCD of Type
B on the supply side of this product (B type, for alternating and/or pulsating current with DC
components and continuous fault current).
• RCDs of type B must comply with all provisions of IEC 61008/9
• Protective earthing of the OJ-DV in combination with the use of RCDs must always be performed
in accordance with the relevant local and international requirements, laws and regulations
• Failure to follow these precautions can lead to severe or fatal injuries to persons and animals.
• There is a risk of electrical interference if the ground potential between the OJ-DV and the air handling
unit or duct dier from each other. In the event of potential dierences between system components,
an equalisation conductor must always be fitted.
• Recommended cable cross section: 10 mm2.
• Lugs should be used, and the equalisation conductor should be attached to the OJ-DV enclosure via
one of the screws used to mechanically install the unit.
Warning
13.6 GROUNDING HAZARD (PE) LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD
Follow national and local regulations regarding protective earthing of equipment with a leakage current
exceeding 3.5 mA.
The OJ-DV technology causes switching at high frequency. This will generate a leakage current in the
This ground leakage current is dependant on the dierent configurations, including RFI filtering, shielded
motor cables and the motor type.
EN/IEC61800-5-1 (Power Drive System Product Standard) requires special emphasis because the
leakage current in the OJ-DV possibly exceeds 3.5 mA. See EN60364-5-54 paragraph 543.7 (Reinforced
protective conductors for protective conductor currents exceeding 10 mA) for further information.
Earth/grounding connection must be made in one of the following 3 ways:
• When connecting only one (1) PE conductor, the minimum cross-section should be at least 10 mm2,
or
• When connecting 2 separate ground conductors, both should comply with the dimensioning rules.
• If 2 conductors are used, they must be connected to individual earth/grounding connectors in the OJ-
DV controller.
• External grounding connection. If the machine housing is approved as a grounding connector, then
the OJ-DV can be grounded to the machine.
• Grounding connectors must always be made in accordance with applicable local and international
standards and directives.
• Follow all local and national electrical regulations for earth/grounding the OJ-DV properly.
• Establish well-executed protective grounding for this OJ-DV that has a leakage current exceeding 3.5
mA.
• A dedicated ground conductor is required for input power, motor power and control wiring.
• Use the clamps and connectors on the OJ-DV for proper ground connections.
• Do not “daisy chain” the ground connection between 2 or more OJ-DV controllers.
• Keep the ground conductor connections as short as possible.
• Always use shielded cables between the OJ-DV and motor, to reduce electrical noise.
• Follow motor manufacturer wiring requirements.
.
Note
13.7 Cable requirements
• All cables and conductors used in connection with the OJ-DV must comply with local and national rules
and regulations.
• The OJ-DV product line fulfils the “residential level” for emissions as per EN-61000-6-3 and “industrial
level” for immunity as per EN-61000-6-2 with up to 5 metre shielded motor cables. (15 kW is limited
to up to 4 metre motor cables). Longer motor cables can be used but it is the installer’s responsibility
to ensure the standards in EN-61000-6-2 are complied with. Industrial level for both immunity and
emissions can be fulfilled, depending on the cable capacity as well as the motor capacity.
• A 6-core, unshielded, 30 AWG/0.066 mm² telecommunications cable can be used as a Modbus cable.
• Generally, cable types with copper conductors are recommended.
• For recommended cable dimensions, see table 13.7.
• If multi-core cables/leads are used, core sleeves/
end sleeves must always be used.
• The connection terminals are spring loaded and
the stripped wire can be easily inserted into the
terminal by carefully pushing the wire into the
terminal without using tools. Alternatively, the
terminal spring can be loosened by pressing it
lightly with a screwdriver or similar implement. See
fig. 13.10.
• Solid and multi-core cables/leads can be used.
• Stripped wire ends or end sleeves must be
between 8 and 15 mm.
• Wires can be removed by carefully loosening
the terminal spring by pressing lightly with a
screwdriver or similar implement. See fig. 13.10.
• With 3-phase OJ-DV units, connect the power
cable to the terminals marked ”L1”, ”L2”, ”L3” and
”PE”. See fig. 13.13.1. On 1-phase OJ-DV units,
the terminals are marked ”L”, ”N” and ”PE”. See fig.
13.13.2.
• Pay special attention to section 13.6 in these
instructions, in particular:
• Earth/grounding connection must be made in one
of the following 3 ways:
• When connecting only one (1) PE conductor,
the minimum cross-section should be at least
10 mm2, or
• When connecting 2 separate ground
conductors, both should comply with the
dimensioning rules.
• If 2 conductors are used, they must be
connected to individual earth/grounding
connectors in the OJ-DV controller.
• External grounding connection. If the
machine housing is approved as a grounding
connector, then the OJ-DV can be grounded
to the machine.
• Grounding connectors must always be made
in accordance with applicable local and
international standards and directives.
• It is recommended that the PE wire is 20 mm longer
than the other wires in the cable. If the cable is
accidentally pulled out of the OJ-DV while there is
voltage on the cable and terminals, the PE wire will
then be the last to be disconnected. OJ-DV is thus
prevented from causing electric shock.
• When the stripped wire is properly inserted into the
terminal (see section 13.10), the terminal tensions
automatically with the correct torque.
• Remember to re-tighten the cable glands to ensure
ingress protection and strain relief.
• OJ-DV is equipped with four connectors for
Modbus connection.
• It also features 3 x RJ12 connectors and one strip
of spring terminals.
• On the terminal strip with spring terminals
for control signals (A/D I/O), the terminals for
connecting Modbus are marked ”Bus A”, ”Bus B”
and ”GND”. See fig. 13.14.1.
• If wanted, a round cable can be used for Modbus
communication, connected to terminals marked
”Bus A” and ”Bus B” on the OJ-DV terminal strip.
• The Modbus terminals are internally connected in
parallel to the Modbus pins in the RJ12 connectors
marked ”A” and ”B”.
• The three 3 RJ12 connectors are marked ”A”, ”B”
and ”C”.
• When all electrical connections have been
correctly mounted, OJ-DV can be closed again
• Fasten the blue plastic cover with the associated 6
TX20 screws.
• Tightening torque on the screws in the blue cover
is 2 Nm. To ensure that the product constantly
maintains the IP enclosure rating specified for
the product, it must be ensured that the 6 TX20
screws are suciently tightened to the tightening
torque. At the same time, it must be ensured that
the tightening torque is not so high that the blue
plastic cover is deformed.

15. Hand terminal (Hterm) – connection and functions
• The OJ-DV range can be connected to an OJ-DV Hterm hand terminal via Modbus RJ12
connector ”A”. See fig. 15.1.
• If an OJ-DV Hterm is connected, the hand terminal will act as master and the OJ-DV as slave.
• Only one master at a time can be connected to the RJ12 connectors marked ”A” and ”B”. It
is thus not possible to connect both a hand terminal to connector ”A” and an active Modbus
communication cable to connector ”B” at the same time.
• OJ-DV Hterm has the following menu options:
• Status: Control and operating parameters
for connected OJ-DV
• Setup: Setting application parameters
• Alarm: Read-out of alarm log for connected
OJ-DV
• Modbus: Changing Modbus settings for OJ-

17. Optional modules – connection and function
• Various optional modules can be connected to OJ-DV, providing extra versatility where the unit is
to be built into systems and applications that require additional inputs and outputs.
For further information on the possibilities oered by optional modules, contact OJ Electronics A/S.
• OJ-DV can be controlled via analogue/digital (A/D) inputs or via Modbus.
• The factory setting is analogue/digital (A/D) control.
• Connect A/D control signals to the terminal strip, see section 13.15.1.
0-10V In
• Is used to control motor speed in relation to a 0-10V signal.
Note
• With A/D control, functions such as alarm read-out and acknowledgement are still possible via
Modbus even though "Modbus control" is not activated.
• The relationship between the 0-10V control signal and motor speed depends on the settings for
min./max. speed and ramp up/ramp down times. See figs 18.1 and 18.2.
• The ”+10Vdc”, ”0-10V In” and ”GND” terminals can be connected to a potentiometer, see
electrical connection in fig.13.15.2.
The function of the digital inputs and outputs has been defined by OJ Electronics A/S as follows:
• Din1 = Start/Stop (1 = Start)
• Din2 = Alarm reset (1 = Alarm reset)
• Dout1 = Tacho Out (1 pulse per motor revolution)
Note
The digital inputs and outputs can be given alternative functions via Modbus.
Relationship between control signal (0-10V In) and speed –
see fig. 18.1.
The control signal regulates motor speed between the set
minimum and maximum speeds (AC motor=Hz; PM/BLDC
motor=rpm) and the set ramp times – see fig.18.2.
18.2 Modbus control
• OJ-DV can be controlled via Modbus
commands according to the Modbus protocol.
• Control of motor speed via Modbus
communication is factory disabled.
• If OJ-DV is to be controlled via Modbus,
Coil Stat Bit register 8 must be set to ”0” =
”Modbus control”.
• Other functions, such as alarm read-out
and acknowledgement, are still possible via
Modbus even though "Modbus control" is not
activated.
• NOTE! Contact OJ Electronics A/S if you
require the Modbus protocol.
•
18.3 Switching frequency
Switching frequency is crucial in determining the
amount of audible acoustic noise emitted by OJ-DV.
The higher the switching frequency, the less audible
noise will be emitted by OJ-DV. At the same time,
however, internal losses will be increased, reducing
eciency.
OJ-DV can be set to operate constantly with a switching frequency of either 4 kHz or 8 kHz, or it
can be set to change switching frequency automatically depending on motor speed (AUTO setting).
Switching frequency (switching mode) is set via Modbus:
• Setting ”4kHz” = Constant 4kHz switching frequency
• Setting ”8kHz” = Constant 8kHz switching frequency
• Setting ”AUTO” = Switching frequency is changed automatically:
• At motor speeds higher than 60% of rated speed, switching frequency is changed to 4 kHz
• At motor speeds lower than 50% of rated speed, switching frequency is changed to 8 kHz
18.4 Braking power
• The electronics within OJ-DV can as a starting point supply braking power corresponding to its
own consumption. It is expected that an air flow capable of maintaining typically up to 30% of
nominal fan speed can be braked by this function.
18.5 Fire mode
• Fire mode designates a function in which OJ-DV is kept operating by an emergency program
which disables the alarm monitor.
• The fire mode function can be activated via Modbus or via digital input.
• Among other things, the function can be used in connection with smoke extraction from a burning
property. When fire mode is activated, an extraction fan will continue to remove smoke from the
property for as long as possible.
• In fire mode, OJ-DV is able to maintain operation for at least an hour even when OJ-DV and the
fan motor are overheated (max. 70°C).
• Upon activation of fire mode operation the output signal to the motor remains the same value as it
was just before the fire mode condition was activated, and any alarms will be suppressed.
• During fire mode operation the output signal to the motor will at any time be the selected voltage
of 0-10V input, or if the OJ-DV is controlled via Modus, it will be the control signal from a potential
Modbus Master. If there is a communication failure on the Modbus, the output signal to the motor
will be the same value as it was just before the Modbus communication was disconnected.
• If the motor is not operating when fire mode is activated, the motor will remain stopped upon
activation of fire mode.
18.6 Frequency converter mode – for asynchronous motors
The OJ-DV factory-set to frequency converter mode for
standard asynchronous induction motors (AC-IM) and
the control mode is 0-10VDC input.
This can be changed using the OJ-DV-PCTool or OJ-
DCV-HTERM (Hand terminal).
If you use the OJ-DV in frequency converter mode, you
must connect a standard 3 phase~ AC-IM motor. Pay
special attention to the information that you will find on
the nameplate of the motor.
The voltage output from the OJ-DV is for the OJ-
DV-1005…..OJ-DV-1011 maximum 250 VAC.
For the OJ-DV-3015…..OJ-DV-3150 the maximum
voltage output is 364 VAC.
If the supply voltage is higher than the rated voltage of
the single windings in the connected motor, then the
motor will be damaged.
Pay special attention if the motor is connected in “star”
or “delta” connections.
On a standard AC-IM motor, the “star”/“delta”
connection often can be changed by rearranging
the jumpers on the motor terminal, see figure 18.6.
With the OJ-DV in frequency converter mode, it is the
installer’s responsibility to enter the correct control and
motor parameters.
Pay special attention to the following parameters:
Minimum frequencyEven if the control signal is e.g. 0% or 0.0V and the OJ-DV has an activated start signal, the motor will not
run slower than the value in this parameter.
Maximum frequencyEven if the control signal is e.g. 100% or 10.0V and the OJ-DV has an activated start signal, the motor will
not run faster than the value in this parameter.
Ramp-up timeRamp-up time is the time (in seconds) from when the OJ-DV gets the start signal until the speed has been
reached according to the setpoint. The ramp-up time is used to avoid overload and damage to the controller
and motor. The ramp-up time is also used in upward jumps between speed setpoints.
If this ramp-up is too short, the OJ-DV could possibly trigger a current limit alarm
Ramp-down time.Ramp-down time is the time (in seconds) from when the OJ-DV receives a stop signal until the motor comes
to a halt. The ramp-down time is used to avoid overload and damage to the controller and motor. Rampdown time is also used in connection with downward jumps between speed setpoints.
If this ramp-down is too short, the OJ-DV will use power to stop or slow down the motor. This could possibly
trigger a current limit alarm from the OJ-DV.
Switch frequencySwitch frequency is a parameter that has an influence on the eciency and the audible noise from the con-
nected motor and/or the OJ-DV controller.
In the OJ-DV it is possible to select “Auto”, “4 kHz” or “8 kHz”.
Activating the “Extra high” Modbus parameter makes it possible to select “Auto”, “4 kHz” or “10 kHz”.
The higher the switch frequency, the lower the audible noise from the OJ-DV controller system, but the consequence of lower audible noise is decreasing eciency of the OJ-DV controller system.
In “Auto” the OJ-DV will automatically switch between “4 kHz” and “8/10 kHz”. During start-up from 0 – 60%
speed, the switch frequency will be “8/10 kHz” and this will make for less audible noise from the connected
motor and/or the OJ-DV controller. When the speed has increased and passes 60%, the switch frequency
will then switch to “4 kHz”. The noise from the fan and airflow will now drown out the audible noise from the
OJ-DV controller system.
In the speed-down sequence, the OJ-DV will switch to “8/10 kHz” when the speed of the motor passes 50%
downwards.
It is also possible to select a fixed switch frequency of “4 kHz” or “8/10 kHz”.
U-min HzThis parameter selects the voltage to the motor at minimum frequency.
Freq U-maxThis parameter selects the frequency to the motor at maximum voltage.
V/F characteristic The “V/F characteristic” parameter is a parameter
that makes it possible to change the ratio between
voltage and frequency for the motor.
The “V/F characteristic” is factory-set to the value 0
(zero), which means that the ratio between the voltage and the frequency is linear.
At the other end, the value “100” is equal to a parabolic relation between voltage and frequency.
For a standard fan application, the value of the “V/F
characteristic” should be 75. AC motors with poor
eciency require a higher “V/F characteristic”.

18.7 Electronically commutated mode (EC mode) – for PM and BLDC motors
The OJ-DV factory-set to frequency converter mode for standard asynchronous induction motors
(AC-IM) and the control mode is 0-10 VDC input.
This can be changed using the OJ-DV-PCTool or OJ-DCV-HTERM (Hand terminal).
The dierence between an AC-IM motor and a PM-SM/BLDC is basically the rotor.
In the PM-SM/BLDC motor, the windings in the rotor are replaced with permanent magnets, but
the control system has to be and is very dierent. Due to the permanent magnets in the rotor, they
will induce voltage in the stator windings as they rotate and as a result also voltage back to the
controller. This is what is called back EMF (EMF = electromotive force) and describes an important
and special characteristic of the motor.
The controller has to be able to handle this back EMF and that is why you cannot control a PM-SM/
BLDC motor with an OJ-DV controller in frequency converter mode.
Before operation, select and load the correct fan and motor parameter files using the OJ-DV
Handterminal or OJ-DV-PCTool. It is the installer’s responsibility to enter the correct control and
motor parameters.
Pay special attention to the following parameters:
Minimum rpmEven if the control signal is e.g. 0% or 0.0V and the OJ-DV has an activated start signal, the motor will not
run slower than the value in this parameter.
Maximum rpmEven if the control signal is e.g. 100% or 10.0V and the OJ-DV has an activated start signal, the motor will
not run faster than the value in this parameter.
Ramp-up timeRamp-up time is the time (in seconds) between the OJ-DV gets the start signal until the speed has been
reached according to the setpoint.
The ramp-up time is used to avoid overload and damage to the controller and motor. The ramp-up time is
also used in upwards jumps between speed setpoints.
If this ramp up is too short, the OJ-DV possibly could trigger an current limit alarm.
Ramp-down timeRamp-down time is the time (in seconds) from when the OJ-DV receives a stop signal until the motor comes
to a halt. The ramp-down time is used to avoid overload and damage to the controller and motor. Rampdown time is also used in connection with downward jumps between speed setpoints.
If this ramp-down is too short, the OJ-DV will use power to stop or slow down the motor. This could possibly
trigger a high voltage alarm (Vhi), from the OJ-DV.
Switch frequencySwitch frequency is a parameter that has an influence on the eciency and the audible noise from the con-
nected motor and/or the OJ-DV controller.
In the OJ-DV it is possible to select “Auto”, “4 kHz” and “8 kHz”.
The higher the switch frequency, the lower the audible noise from the OJ-DV controller system, but the consequence of lower audible noise is decreasing eciency of the OJ-DV controller system.
In “Auto” the OJ-DV will automatically switch between “4 kHz” and “8 kHz”. During start-up from 0 - 60%
speed, the switch frequency will be “8kHz” and this will make for less audible noise from the connected
motor and/or the OJ-DV controller. When the speed has increased and passes 60%, the switch frequency
will then switch to “4 kHz”. The noise from the fan and airflow will now drown out the audible noise from the
OJ-DV controller system.
In the speed-down sequence, the OJ-DV will switch to “8 kHz” when the speed of the motor passes 50%
downwards.
It is also possible to select a fixed switch frequency of “4 kHz” or “8 kHz”.
In the speed-down sequence, the OJ-DV will switch to “8/10 kHz” when the speed of the motor passes 50%
downwards.
It is also possible to select a fixed switch frequency of “4 kHz” or “8/10 kHz”.
For further information about parameters in the OJ-DV, see OJ-DV Modbus protocol.
19. Built-in protection
• If the temperature inside OJ-DV exceeds 95°C, OJ-DV will attempt to reduce its internal heat
generation by reducing motor speed (rpm).
• OJ-DV has built-in current limitation for the protection of motor and cables and cannot therefore
supply more current than it is set to.
• In the event of lacking phase on the supply input, OJ-DV will reduce speed and activate a non-
critical alarm.
• The OJ-DV motor output terminals are short-circuit protected against phase-to-phase short
circuiting.
20. Alarms
• OJ-DV has a built-in alarm monitor, which monitors optimal fault-free operation and triggers an
alarm if operating or performance problems are observed.
• Alarms are either ”Critical” alarms or ”Non-critical” alarms.
• ”Critical” alarms stop the motor.
• ”Non-critical” alarms reduce motor performance.
• The built-in alarm monitor stops the OJ-DV.
• If the alarm situation passes, the alarm is automatically reset and OJ-DV restarted.
• If the maximum number of restarts (5 times/60 min) is exceeded, the alarm must be reset
