Fan rotation settings for the Wellington ECR 2 13W motor

Control fan speed and direction with the Wellington ECR 2 13W motor using three core cables.

The direction of rotation, clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) relates to the shaft end of the motor. (See image below)

With three wires, the Wellington ECR 2 13W can be set up as follows:
Wellington ECR2 rotation

  • Black control wire connected to neutral or left unconnected to operate as pre-configured Speed 1
  • Black control wire connected to phase (live) to operate as per pre-configured Speed 2
  • Motor connection to a switched output using AoFrio’s custom communications protocol to vary the speed in real-time.
Alternative configurations are also possible with different, pre-programmed firmware, the most common being:
  • Continuous CCW and CW operation
  • Timed Speed 1
  • Continuous Speed 2
Motors with only two core cables can be configured to run a second speed and direction for a pre-determined time on 'power-up', before reverting to their primary speed and direction. This is referred to as “Timed Speed 2 on Start”.
