The VSD-1MC-20 Keeps a Manual Dial for a Reason
Automatic control is only useful while the controller feeding it is alive. This drive takes a 0-10V or 4-20 mA signal from a climate system. A toggle on the faceplate hands control back to a manual speed dial whenever you want it. The load rating is 20 amps. Minimum speed is set internally, and the drive can hold that floor continuously rather than dropping the fan to a stop.
Fitting a 20 Amp Fan Speed Controller in a Wet Room
The enclosure is the part people underrate. It is sealed against light, moisture and dust, which is what a controller mounted in a grow room or a barn actually faces. A radio interference filter is built in, so it is less likely to put noise onto sensor lines running nearby. The unit is 12.3 by 8 by 6.3 inches and weighs 4.0 lbs. Give it wall space rather than hanging it off a conduit. Warranty is two years, shorter than most fans it will drive.
