Installation Wiring Use 12 AWG wire for the AC line voltage (L1 and L2), motor armature (A1 and A2), and dynamic brake resistor (if used). Use 18 AWG wire for logic (field output, speed adjust potentiometer, tachogenerator, etc.) Twist logic wires to avoid picking up unwanted electrical noise. Use shielded cable if wires are longer than 12 inches (30 cm).
As a general rule, Minarik recommends shielding of all conductors. If it is not practical to shield power conductors, Minarik recommends shielding all logic-level leads. If shielding logic level leads is not practical, the user should twist all logic leads with themselves to minimize induced noise.
Installation Chassis Drives (MM301U, MM311U) Mounting Mount the drive with its board in either a horizontal or vertical plane. Four 0.188 inch (4.8 mm) wide slots in the chassis accept #8 pan head screws. The chassis units do not have to be earth grounded. If you choose to ground the chas- sis, use a star washer beneath the head of at least one of the mounting screws to pen- etrate the anodized chassis surface and to reach bare metal.
90 VDC Motor 180 VDC Motor Max. DC Armature AC Line Fuse Horsepower Horsepower Current (amps) Size (amps) 1/20 1/10 1/15 1 1/2 Minarik Drives offers a 63 mA pico fuse (part number 050-0081) which protects the transformer and logic.
Installation Speed adjust potentiometer Install the circular insulating disk between the mounting panel and the 10K ohm speed adjust potentiometer (see Figure 4). Mount the speed adjust potentiometer through a 0.38 inch (10 mm) hole with the hardware provided. Twist the speed adjust poten- tiometer wire to avoid picking up unwanted electrical noise.
Installation Cage-clamp terminals Logic connections are made to a cage-clamp terminals. To insert a wire into the cage- clamp terminal: 1. Press down on the lever arm using a small screwdriver. 2. Insert wire into the wire clamp 3. Release the lever arm to clamp wire. Figure 5.
Minarik drives supply motor voltage from A1 and A2 terminals (TB501). It is assumed throughout this manual that when A1 is positive with respect to A2, the motor will rotate clockwise (CW) while looking at the output shaft protruding from the front of the motor.

Installation Power Input Connect the AC line power leads to terminals L1 and L2 and install a master power switch in the voltage input line as shown in Figure 6 (page 13). The switch contacts should be rated at a minimum of 250 volts and 200% of maximum drive current. Field output The field output is for shunt wound motors only.
Installation START/STOP pushbuttons Pushbutton operation of the MM300 Series requires a momentary normally open STOP pushbutton be wired to terminals B2 and B3 and a momentary normally closed START pushbutton wired to terminals B1 and B2. These switches must be used together and are not included with the drive.
Installation Voltage or current follower Instead of using a speed adjust potentiometer, MM300 Series drives may be wired to follow an analog input signal (see Figure 6 for connections). This input signal can be in the form of voltage (0-10 VDC) or current (4-20 mA). Because these drives have built in isolation the input signal can be either grounded or ungrounded.
Installation Slide switches Warning Change slide switch settings only when the drive is disconnected from the AC line volt- age. Make sure both line voltage and motor switches are set to their correct position. If the switches are improperly set to a lower voltage position, the motor will not run at full voltage and may cause transformer damage.

Installation Enclosed drive Mounting The NEMA 4X enclosed drive comes with 0.88 inch (22mm) conduit knockout holes at the bottom of the enclosure. The units may be vertically wall mounted using the four 0.19 inch (5 mm) slotted holes on the attached heat sink. For motor loads less than 5 ADC, the drive may be bench mounted horizontally, or operated without mounting.
Installation Heat sinking The enclosed MM300 Series drive contains sufficient heat sinking in its basic configuration. No additional heat sinking is necessary when installed in accordance with the guidelines specified in this manual. Line fusing WARNING: Most code requires that upstream branch protection be provided to protect input power wiring.
Installation Connections WARNING: A single fault like a power device short may cause motor rotation when in the stop mode. The user is responsible for assur- ing safe conditions for operating personal by providing suitable guards, audio or visual al- arms, or other devices.
Minarik Drives motor speed controls supply motor voltage from A1 and A2 terminals. It is assumed throughout this manual that when A1 is positive with respect to A2, the motor will rotate clockwise (CW) while looking at the output shaft protruding from the front of the motor.

30%. The form factor will increase beyond the typi- cal value, causing increased motor heating. Contact the factory for details. Chassis Drives (MM301U, MM311U) Speed adjust potentiometer input, no START/STOP pushbutton: It is necessary to wire a jumper between B1 and B3 if no START/STOP switches are to be used.
Operation 2. Apply AC line voltage. 3. Slowly advance the speed adjust potentiometer clockwise (CW). The motor slowly accelerates as the potentiometer is turned CW. Continue until the desired speed is reached. 4. Remove AC line voltage to coast the motor to a stop. Speed adjust potentiometer input with START/STOP pushbuttons: 1.
Operation Analog signal input with START/STOP pushbuttons: 1. Set the analog signal so that it is at its lowest level (0V or 4mA). 2. Apply AC line voltage. 3. Press the START pushbutton. 4. Slowly increase the analog signal and press the start pushbutton. The motor accel- erates as the signal is increased.
Operation Line starting and line stopping Line starting and line stopping (applying and removing AC line voltage) is recom- mended for infrequent starting and stopping of a drive only. When AC line voltage is applied to the drive and a START is commanded, the motor accelerates to the speed set by the speed adjust potentiometer or analog input signal.
Operation Figure 11. Run/Decelerate to Minimum Speed Switch Dynamic Braking Dynamic braking may be used to rapidly stop a motor (Figure 12, page 29). For the RUN/BRAKE switch, use a three pole, double throw switch rated for at least the maxi- mum DC armature voltage, 15 amps.

Operation Warning Wait for the motor to completely stop before switching it back to RUN. This will prevent high armature currents from damaging the motor. MM300 Series Drive DYNAMIC BRAKE RESISTOR BRAKE MOTOR Figure 12. Dynamic Brake Connection...
Operation Enclosed drive operating modes WARNING: If you run the drive in AUTO mode, you must recalibrate the MIN SPD trimpot to offset any motor drift caused by the input signal. Refer to the Calibration section (page 32) for more information. The mode selector switch on the drive, mounted on its cover, provides the option of operating in either MANUAL (mounted speed potentiometer) or AUTO (external signal source) mode.
Operation Enclosed drive operation WARNING: For frequent starts and stops, open the B1 and B3, decelerate to a minimum speed, or apply a dynamic brake to the motor. Do not use any of these methods for emergency stopping. They may not stop a drive that is malfunctioning.
Calibration WARNING: Dangerous voltages exist on the drive when it is powered, and up to 30 seconds after power is removed and the motor stops. When possible, disconnect the voltage input from the drive before adjusting the trimpots. If the trimpots must be adjusted with power applied, use insulated tools and the appropriate personal protection equipment.

Calibration Drive Calibration Procedure Prepare the MM300 series drive for calibration as follows. This procedure applies to both chassis and enclosed drives. 1. Ensure that no power is applied to the drive. 2. If you use an enclosed drive, you must open the drive cover to gain access to the trimpots.
Calibration MINIMUM SPEED (MIN SPD) The MIN SPD setting determines the motor speed when the speed adjust potentiome- ter or input signal is set for minimum speed. It is factory set to zero speed. To calibrate MIN SPD: 1. Turn the speed adjust potentiometer full CCW or set the input signal for minimum voltage or current.
Calibration CURRENT LIMIT The CURRENT LIMIT setting determines the maximum armature current output of the drive. It is factory set at 120% of rated motor current. To calibrate CURRENT LIMIT, refer to Figure 13 (page 33), or use the following proce- dure: 1.
Calibration IR COMPENSATION (IR COMP) The IR COMP setting determines the degree to which motor speed is held constant as the motor load changes. It is factory set at optimum motor regulation for the high- est motor horsepower. To calibrate IR COMP, refer to Figure 13 (page 33), or use the following procedure: 1.

Calibration 5. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or input signal to minimum speed. 6. Remove power from the drive. 7. Set SW505 to TACH for tachometer feedback. 8. Connect power to the drive. 9. Set the IR COMP trimpot full CCW. 10.
Application Notes Multiple fixed speeds Replace the speed adjust potentiometer with series resistors with a total series resist- ance of 10K ohms (Figure 15). Add a single pole, multi-position switch with the correct number of positions for the desired number of fixed speeds. Figure 15.
Application Notes Adjustable speeds using potentiometers in series Replace the speed adjust potentiometer with a single pole, multi-position switch, and two or more potentiometers in series, with a total series resistance of 10K ohms. Figure 16 shows a connection for fixed high and low speed adjust potentiometers. Figure 16.
Application Notes Independent adjustable speeds Replace the speed adjust potentiometer with a single pole, multi-position switch, and two or more potentiometers in parallel, with a total parallel resistance of 10K ohms. Figure 17 shows the connection of two independent speed adjust potentiometers that can be mounted at two separate operating stations.
Application Notes Reversing A dynamic brake may be used when reversing the motor direction (Figure 18). Use a two pole, three position switch rated for at least the maximum DC armature voltage and maximum braking current. Wait for the motor to stop completely before switching it to either the forward or reverse direction.
Application Notes RUN/JOG switch Using a RUN/JOG switch is recommended in applications where quick stopping is not needed and frequent jogging is required. Use a single pole, two position switch for the RUN/JOG switch, and a single pole, normally closed, momentary operated pushbut- ton for the JOG pushbutton.
Figure 20 shows the connection of the reversing circuit to a MM300 series drive and to a DLC600. Note: Only one DLC option (Optical Encoder or Magnetic Pickup) may be used at a time. MINARIK DRIVE Dynamic...
