    Do not connect AC power to the Motor terminals A1 and A2. Connecting AC power to these terminals may damage the control. Caution: Baldor recommends not to use Grounded Leg Delta transformer power leads that may create ground loops. Instead, we recommend using a four wire Wye. Caution: Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5,000 RMS symmetrical short circuit amperes listed here at rated voltage.

    Chapter 2 Installation WARNING: Do not use this drive in an explosive environment. An explosion can cause serious or fatal injury. This drive is not explosion proof. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS It is recommended that the control be mounted on a flat surface with adequate ventilation. Leave enough room to allow for AC line, motor connection, and other wiring that is required.

If an isolated signal input is not available, or if using a 4 - 20 mA DC signal input, install the optional plug-on Catalog No. BC152 Signal Isolator. This will also allow direct connections to process controllers and microprocessors.

    1. The deceleration time can only be made longer than the normal coasting time of the load. 2. If the BC152, Signal Isolator option board is installed onto the BC141, or BC142 control, the ENABLE circuit will not funciton as described. If an ENABLE feature is required for the application, connect a N.O.

  • Page 17 Note: Readjusting the MIN Trimpot will affect the maximum speed setting. Therefore, it is necessary to readjust the MAX Trimpot if readjusting the MIN Trimpot. It may be necessary to repeat these adjustments until both the minimum and maximum speeds are set to the desired levels. Maximum Speed Trimpot (MAX) The MAX Trimpot sets the maximum speed of the motor when the Main Speed Potentiometer is set fully clockwise.
  • Page 18: Operation

    3. Run the motor with the maximum load and adjust the IR Trimpot so that the motor speed under load equals the unloaded speed recorded in step 2. 4. Remove the load and recheck the RPMs. 5. If the unloaded RPM has changed, repeat steps 2 - 4 for more exact regulation. The control is now compensated to provide minimal speed change due to changing loads.
