Installation Mounting • Do not install, remove, or rewire this equipment with power applied. Failure to heed this directive may result in fire or serious injury. • Drive components are sensitive to electrostatic fields. Avoid direct contact with the circuit board. Hold drive by the chassis only.
Opening any one motor lead may destroy the drive. Shielding guidelines As a general rule, Minarik recommends shielding of all conductors if: 1) wire lengths exceed 6 inches for PWM drives or 18 inches for SCR drives, with separation of power and logic leads;...
Page 17
*Minarik considers this an unfavorable condition and does not recommend bundling of power and logic leads for any length. If it is not practical to shield power conductors, Minarik recommends shielding all logic-level leads. If shielding is not practical, the user should twist all logic leads with themselves to minimize induced noise.
MAC06-series drives require an additional heat sink (Minarik® part number 223-0269) when the continuous phase current is above 5 amps. All other MAC series drives have sufficient heat sinking in their basic configuration. Use a thermally conductive heat sink compound (such as Dow Corning® 340 Heat Sink Compound) between the drive chassis and heat sink surface for optimum heat transfer.
Installation Warning Be sure that the potentiometer tabs do not make contact with the enclosure. Grounding the input will cause damage to the drive. Figure 2. Speed Adjust Potentiometer...
Installation Cage-clamp terminals MAC Series drive connections include cage-clamp terminals (see Figure 3). To insert a wire into a 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.
Operation Warning! Dangerous voltages exist on the drive when it is powered, and up to 30 seconds after power is removed and the motor stops. BE ALERT. High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury. For your safety, use personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating this drive.
Page 24
Operation 5. Set the ENABLE/DISABLE switch (if installed) to ENABLE, or short the EN and COM terminals on TB501. Set the RUN/BRK switch (if installed) to RUN, or remove the jumper between the BRK and COM terminals on TB501. 6. Apply 120 or 240VAC, 50/60 Hz, single-phase power to the drive.
Warning! Allowing the RUN/BRAKE switch to remain in the BRAKE position for an extended period of time may cause motor overheating. Minarik recommends that you disable the drive or remove power if the motor is to remain idle. See Figure 5 for ENABLE/DISABLE switch installation.
ENABLE input to reset and restart the drive. Drive thermal protection MAC series drives have built-in thermal protection. If the power stage temperature reaches 100º C, the drive will turn off. The red TRIP LED will then light to indicate a temperature overload...
Operation Thermal protection of the motor The enable input can also act as a motor thermal protection circuit for motors having a built-in thermal protector. These thermal protectors are operated only by motor heat and open the enable circuit when the motor reaches a temperature which could cause damage to the motor winding.
When AC voltage input is removed, the motor coasts to a stop. Minarik strongly recommends the installation of a master power switch in the voltage input line (see Figure 4, Power, Fuse and Motor Connections). The switch contacts should be rated at a minimum of 200% of motor nameplate current and 250 volts.
Calibration MAC Series drives have six user-adjustable trimpots. Each drive is factory calibrated to its maximum horsepower rating. Readjust the calibration trimpot settings to accommodate lower horsepower motors. See Figure 7 for trimpot location. All adjustments increase with CW rotation and decrease with CCW rotation.
Calibration Max Frequency DIP Switch Settings UNUSED SWITCHES ARE GREYED OUT Figure 8. DIP Switch Layout Note: Whenever a DIP switch state is changed, it will be ignored by the microprocessor until the drive is disabled, then re-enabled.

Calibration Calibration Procedure Setup for 60 Hz Motors: (See Figure 8, pg. 18) 1. Set all switches and trimpots to the OFF, CCW, or DOWN position. Set the TQ LIM trimpot full CW. 2. Set DIP switches 1, 2, and 6 to ON; set DIP switches 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 to OFF.
Calibration TQ LIM With the speed still set to to maximum and a clamp-on meter clipped around one of the motor leads, load the motor shaft to 120% of the motor nameplate rating. Rotate the TQ LIM trimpot CCW until the current limit LED (not the TRIP LED) lights.
Calibration TQ BOOST Set the speed adjust pot to the slowest speed at which you intend to run the motor under load. Apply a load to the shaft of the motor. This load should be equivalent to the worst-case load the motor will see in your application.
Calibration ACCEL/DECEL Quickly set the speed adjust pot to zero speed (full CCW) and note the time the motor takes to stop. If the deceleration time differs from the desired time, adjust the ACCEL/DECEL trimpot until the desired time is reached. Rotating the ACCEL/DECEL pot CW slows acceleration, thereby increasing the ramp time.
Page 37
Calibration 3. Enable the drive and rotate the speed adjust pot full CW (maximum speed). If no change is noticed (for example, if the motor accelerates quickly enough and does not go into current limit), disable the drive and go to step 4. If an unacceptable difference was noted, restore the DIP switch settings to the previous step.

Calibration Table 2. Torque Boost Calibration DIP Switch Settings 100†† UNUSED SWITCHES ARE GREYED OUT † Accel torque boost, as a percentage of the TQ boost pot setting, is applied by the drive during acceleration. Once the desired speed is reached, accel torque boost is turned off and only the TQ boost remains.
Application Notes Thermal Protection Switch Installation To provide additional protection for the motor and drive, install a thermal overload protection switch as shown in Figure 9. An option is to install an ENABLE/DISABLE switch in series with the thermal protection switch (Figure 10). MOTOR THERMAL OVERLOAD...
Application Notes Decelerate to minimum speed The circuit shown in Figure 11 may be used to decelerate a motor to a minimum speed. Closing the switch between S2 and S1 decelerates the motor from set speed to a minimum speed determined by the MIN SPD trimpot setting.
Warning! Allowing the RUN/BRAKE switch to remain in the BRAKE position for an extended period of time may cause motor overheating. Minarik recommends that you disable the drive (as shown in Figure 12) or remove power if the motor is to remain idle. Disable the drive or remove power after the motor has come to a stop.
Application Notes Independent adjustable speeds with FWD-REV switch Replace the speed adjust potentiometer with two single-pole multi-position switches, and two or more potentiometers in parallel, with a total parallel resistance of 10K ohms. Figure 14 shows the connection of two independent speed adjust potentiometers that can be mounted at two separate operating stations.
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 open, momentary operated pushbutton for the JOG pushbutton.
Single speed potentiometer control of multiple motors The MAC series of controls is capable of operating up to eight 3- phase motors simultaneously. All motors must be of the same type and must control similar loads. Connect each motor as shown in Figure 15 below.
Application Notes Reversing To reverse the direction of motor shaft rotation, remove or install a jumper between the DIR and COM terminals of TB501, as required. An option is to install a single-pole, two-position switch as shown in Figure 16. The drive will brake the motor before reversing, so there is no need to wait for the motor to coast to a stop before changing direction.
Troubleshooting 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 while troubleshooting. Be alert. High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury.
Troubleshooting Diagnostic LEDs MAC-series drives contain six diagnostic LEDs (see Figure 17, pg. 36): POWER ON (green) The POWER ON LED lights when power is applied to the drive. FAULT (red) The FAULT LED lights in any of the following conditions: 1.
