SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION These Controls have been Converted to Surface Mount Technology (SMT) The OFFSET and TCL trimpots have been moved to be aligned with the other trimpots. The General Performance Specifications, Electrical Ratings, Mechanical Specifications, and Connection Diagrams have not changed. See the figure below for the Trimpot and Jumper location changes.
KBRG-255 SIMPLIFIED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT – You must read these simplified operating instructions before you proceed. These instructions are to be used as a reference only and are not intended to replace the detailed instructions provided herein. You must read the Safety Warning before proceeding. 1.
This product complies with all CE directives pertinent at the time of manufacture. Contact factory for detailed installation instructions and Declaration of Conformity. Installation of a CE approved RFI filter is required. Additional shielded motor cable and/or AC line cables may be required along with a signal isolator (SI-4X, KB P/N 8801 or equivalent).
SETTING MODE OF DRIVE (SPEED OR TORQUE CONTROL). The KBRG-255 can be operated as a speed control or torque control by setting the position of jumper J7. The main speed potentiometer controls the magnitude of the mode selected. Set jumper J7 to "SPD" for speed control or to "TRQ" for torque control. (See fig. 1, p. 3.) A.
FIG. 2A – LINEAR TORQUE CURVE FIG. 2B – NON-LINEAR TORQUE CURVE III. SETTING SELECTABLE JUMPERS. The KBRG-255 has customer selectable jumpers which must be set before the control can be used (refer to fig. 1 p. 3). Bold indicates Factory Setting. (See sec. II, p. 4 for J7 and J8 settings.) A.
For example, if the tach is 25V/KRPM and the motor speed is 3,600 RPM, use the "50V" J4 position. For other tach-generator voltages and motor speeds, an external resistor (RT) may be used as follows. Install resistor in series with either tach-generator lead. Place J4 in "7V"...

VIII. TRIMPOT ADJUSTMENTS. The KBRG-255 contains many trimpots which have been factory adjusted for most applications. (See table 2, p. 2. for factory settings.) (Note: fig. 1, p. 3 presents the various trimpots with their locations. They are shown in the approximate adjustment position.) Some applications may require readjustment of trimpots in order to tailor control to exact requirements.

C. Deadband (DB) – The DB trimpot sets the amount of main speed potentiometer rotation required to initiate control voltage output. It is factory adjusted to approximately 25% of rotation. The DB trimpot also determines the amount of delay that will occur before regeneration starts.
G. Response (RESP) Trimpot – This trimpot determines the dynamic response of the control. The factory setting is approximately 50% of full rotation. The setting may be increased if a faster response is required. (Note: If response is made too fast, unstable operation may result.) H.
