The CURRENT LIMIT setting determines the maximum armature

current output of the drive.

Recalibrate the CUR LIMIT setting when a lower current limit

is required. Refer to the CUR LIMIT settings in Figure 13, page 26,

or recalibrate using the following procedure:

1. With the power disconnected from the control, connect a DC

ammeter in series with the armature.

2. Set the CUR LIMIT trimpot to minimum (full CCW).

3. Set the speed adjust potentiometer to maximum (full CW).

4. Carefully lock the motor armature. Be sure that the motor is

firmly mounted.

5. Apply line power. The motor should be stopped.

6. Slowly adjust the CUR LIMIT trimpot CW slowly until the

armature current is 120% of motor rated armature current.

7. Set the speed adjust potentiometer, or input voltage to

minimum.

8. Remove the power from the drive and unlock the motor shaft.

9. Remove the ammeter in series with the motor armature if it is

no longer needed and re-apply power to the drive.

CURRENT LIMIT (CUR LIMIT)

Warning

CURRENT LIMIT should be set to 120% of motor nameplate
current rating. Continuous operation beyond this setting may
damage the motor. If you intend to operate beyond the rating,
contact your LEESON representative.
