DANGER

IF CIRCUIT BREAKER HAS TRIPPED OR FUSES

HAVE CLEARED THE FIELD SUPPLY, ITS WIRĆ

ING MUST BE INSPECTED FORDAMAGE.

REAPPLYING POWER TO THE DRIVE, THE

FIELD VOLTAGE MUST BE REĆCHECKED FOR

PROPER VOLTAGE AT MOTOR TERMINALS F1,

F2. IF THIS VOLTAGE IS BELOW 90% OF THE

FIELD VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON THE MOTOR

NAMEPLATE, THE DRIVE MUST NOT BE

STARTED UNTIL PROPER VOLTAGE IS OBĆ

TAINED. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEĆ

DURE COULD RESULT IN OVERSPEEDING THE

MOTORAND/ORTHE MACHINERY COUPLED

TO THE MOTORSHAFT AND POSSIBLE FATAL

INJURY.

4.3.1 Regulator Module Pots - The Regulator Module

has six adjustable potentiometers mounted on it. (Refer

to Figure 4.1.) They control the following functions:
D Maximum speed (full CCW: 50 Ć70% speed)
D Minimum speed (full CCW: Drive Min. Speed 5%)
D Acceleration rate (full CCW)
D Deceleration rate (full CCW)
D Current limit (factoryĆset at 150%)
D IR comp (full CCW)
The potentiometers are factory preset for the safest or

most conservative operation.

DANGER

USE ONLY ON HAND TO HOLD THE SCREWĆ

DRIVER. KEEP YOUROTHERHAND BEHIND

YOU. DO NOT USE YOUROTHERHAND TO

BRACE YOURSELF AGAINST THE CONTROLĆ

LER, PANEL OR ENCLOSURE. PERSONAL INĆ

JURY COULD RESULT IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY

TOUCH A COMPONENT AT LINE VOLTAGE.

4.3.2 Maximum Speed (Voltage) - The Maximum

Speed Potentiometer on the Regulator Module has

been factory preset for 70% of a typical motor base

speed of about 1750 rpm. By means of adjustment, the

maximum speed may be raised to suit the application.

The result is the highest speed that can be set by the opĆ

erator on the SPEED dial. The control range is 70 to

100% of rated speed.
The method for determining if the motor and driven

equipment are operating at an acceptable maximum

speed for the application is measure speed with a

tachometer.
Locate the Maximum Speed Potentiometer on the RegĆ

ulator Module. (Refer to Figure 4.1.) The letters MAX

SPD are printed on the Module. Note that CW rotation

represents an increase in speed. CCW represents a

decrease.

DANGER

WHEN PERFORMING THIS ADJUSTMENT PROĆ

CEDURE, DO NOT ALLOW THE DRIVE MOTOR

TO EXCEED ITS RATED MAXIMUM SPEED, AS

LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE. EQUIPMENT

DAMAGE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY

COULD RESULT.

On the Operator Station, increase the SPEED dial slowĆ

ly in the direction of 10, which is 100% of full travel. If, as

the SPEED dial is turned toward the 10 setting, the

speed exceeds the maximum acceptable speed, imĆ

mediately decrease the maximum speed on the

SPEED dial. Use a small insulated slot screwdriver.
In some cases, to avoid exceeding the maximum operĆ

ating speed, it may be necessary to turn the Maximum

Speed Potentiometer completely CCW before turning

the SPEED dial completely CW.
If the 10 setting on the SPEED dial is lower than the deĆ

sired speed, increase the setting on the Maximum

Speed Potentiometer to the necessary speed. To inĆ

crease the maximum speed, turn the potentiometer CW.
NOTE: A further adjustment may be needed but It

should be performed after completing Paragraph

4.3.3. Note that the maximum and minimum speed

adjustments are interactive; a change in one affects

the other.
