SECTION IV
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
GENERAL
1. Keep the controller dry and free of dust, dirt, and debris. No parts require periodic replacement.
2. Periodically turn-off the AC line supply to the controller and check all wire terminations to be sure they are tight.
3. Visually check components for damage due to overheating or breakage. All damaged and/or faulty components must
be replaced for satisfactory operation.
4. Maintain the motor according to maintenance instructions supplied by the motor manufacturer.
ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
ACCELERATION
1. Set the MOTOR SPEED potentiometer at 100% or the external speed reference signal at maximum, as applicable.
2. Initiate a Run command and observe the time required for the motor to reach maximum speed.
3. Adjust the ACCEL potentiometer for the desired rate. Full counter clockwise rotation is the fastest acceleration
(0.1 second), and full clockwise rotation is the slowest acceleration (30 seconds).
DECELERATION
1. With the motor running at maximum speed, quickly reset the MOTOR SPEED potentiometer to zero, or quickly
decrease the speed reference signal to minimum, as applicable, and observe the time required for the motor to reach
minimum speed.
2. Adjust the DECEL potentiometer for the desired rate. Full counter clockwise rotation is the fastest deceleration (0.1
second), and full clockwise rotation is the slowest deceleration (30 seconds).
IR COMPENSATION
IR compensation is used only for armature feedback. The IR/COMP potentiometer is factory set at zero (full
counterclockwise rotation) for satisfactory operation with most motors. If improved speed regulation is desired,
readjust IR compensation as follows:
1. If the motor is shunt-wound, run it at rated base speed. If the motor is a permanent-magnet type, run it at about 1/3
speed.
2. Turn the IR/COMP potentiometer clockwise
slowly until motor speed becomes unstable.
Then turn the potentiometer counterclockwise until motor speed stabilizes.
MAXIMUM SPEED
The MAX SPD potentiometer is factory set to provide 90 VDC armature voltage with a 115 VAC line, or 180 VDC
armature voltage with a 230 VAC line.
To readjust maximum speed, run the motor at maximum speed and adjust the MAX SPD potentiometer for the desired
maximum speed.
NOTE: If the MAX SPD potentiometer is turned too far counterclockwise, speed instability may occur.
