Triac Lynx SM 16 - 0 - 10V connections?

Post by nemo1966 » Thu 17 Sep , 2020 14:48 pm

Does anyone know which pins to connect a 0 - 10v analogue signal to this board?

The maual shows a Potentiometer connection but not the 0 - 10v

thanks

The Lynx manual does indicate that the speed reference (pin3) is 0 - 10V input. For the pot shown connected in the manual it is connected to the 10V reference and the minimum speed reference so can give a swing from 10V to the lowest speed setting whatever that is set to. Your 0 - 10V may need to be connected to the 0V reference (pin4).

Strangely I've been advised to use Pin 3 (0 - 10v) and Pin 4 as you have suggested, but someone on another forum sugested that i use Pin 3 (0 - 10v) and the Analog Gnd (pin 2). Trying to find out why they say pin 2 is analog Gnd

From my reading of the manual pin2 is minimum speed and not analogue ground but looking at the schematic in the manual pin2 is connected to 0V(pin4) through the minimum speed pot so pin2 could behave as the analogue ground if set to the minimum so pin2 equals pin4, I think better to use pin4.
