FSX Introduction
FSX electronic speed controllers are designed to
control the speed of fan motors in commercial refrigera-
tion system depending on condensing pressure chang-
es. It is suitable for single phase. FSX can be used in
air-cooled condensers, air-cooled condensing units and
air-conditioning units.
Using variable fan speed controllers offers the
following benets in commercial refrigeration or air-
conditioning applications:
• Head pressure can be kept high enough to ensure
proper operation of the expansion valve, and sufcient
mass ow through the expansion valve to feed the
evaporator. This maintains the required cooling capacity.
• Efciency increase of the compressor by controlling
the head pressure, improved performance and energy
saving for the complete system.
• The noise of the motor can be kept at a minimum by
avoiding permanent on/off cycling.

Description of control behavior
FSX control behavior can be easily described by
looking at the function of output voltage versus input
pressure (see gure 1) and by dividing it into maximum,
proportional and minimum range.
In the maximum range, the FSX provides a constant
output voltage of about 1% below the supply voltage.
The fan runs at maximum speed.
Along the proportional range the output voltage var-
ies between maximum and minimum voltage of approxi-
mately 50% of the supply voltage. This causes the fan
speed to slow down from maximum speed to minimum
speed.
Further decrease of pressure in the minimum range
leads to cut-off of the fan motor. Increase of input pres-
sure will start the motor with a hysteresis of approxi-
mately 10 psig to avoid cycling (Fig. 1).
The pressure from which motor is cut off (FSX), see
column “pressure range” in the selection chart. The pro-
portional range is xed at:
36 psig for FSX-41_/FSM-41_
55 psig for FSX-42_/FSM-42_
