Greenheck Vari-Green Motor (IOM 473681) - Manual (Page 2)

2 Vari-Green Motor and Controls
Operation and Wiring
-
Potentiometer Dial Only
These motors feature a potentiometer dial on the motor
for speed adjustment. A small screwdriver can be used
to make the speed adjustment. To increase the speed,
rotate the dial clockwise. To decrease the speed, rotate
the dial counter clockwise.
The motor is pre-wired at the factory and cannot be
changed inside the motor. Connect single-phase power
at the voltage listed on the nameplate.
These motors cannot be converted to receive a remote
control signal – a different motor is needed. Please
consult the factory.
Features, Operation,
Wiring and Troubleshooting
Features
Soft start – All motors
feature soft-start
technology which
eliminates inrush
current at start-
up. The motors will
reliably start at any
speed setting.
Overload protection – If the motor becomes
overloaded, it will automatically reduce its speed until it
is no longer overloaded. This means that the motor will
never operate in the “service factor” which is possible
with many AC motors.
Locked rotor protection – If the motor ever encounters
a locked-rotor scenario, the motor will automatically
shut itself down. It will try to restart up to 3 times, and if
after the 3rd time the motor will still not rotate, the motor
will not attempt to start again until power is cycled.
Thermal protection – The motors have a one-shot fuse
thermal protector. This is meant to protect the motor
from a severe temperature rise. Additionally, the motors
have on-board temperature sensors which will reduce
the speed of the motor should it become too hot. The
fuse is used as a last resort to prevent a fire.
RPM measurement – The motors have a small shaft
extension on the end of the motor to measure motor
RPM with either a contact or optical tachometer.

These motors will accept a 0-10 VDC control signal for
speed control. From 0-1.9V, the motor will be off, and
will operate in the 2-10V range. 24 VAC/DC power is
also required for operation. The motor will consume
0.7VA at 24 VAC or 25mA at 24 VDC. A factory mounted
transformer is available to supply this voltage. See Fig. 1
The motor is pre-wired at the factory and cannot be
changed inside the motor. Connect single-phase power
at the voltage listed on the nameplate, along with the
0-10 VDC and 24V signal for speed control.
NOTE: The motor will not operate without the proper
control voltages.
