General Information Minarik MAC Series drives are voltage-vector-controlled, microprocessor-based, variable-frequency AC motor drives. With a 115 or 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz, single-phase input, MAC drives are factory calibrated for an output of 0* to 60 Hz. They will operate any 1 HP or smaller, 115- or 208/230-volt, three-phase AC induction motor through a speed range of zero* through nameplate speed.

33 kHz. The MAC is one of the only drives on the market with truly silent operation. MAC Series drives feature solid-state reversing with adjustable acceleration and deceleration. They also feature adjustable current limit and I²T class 10 current trip to protect the motor, the control and the driven machine from damage caused by motor overload or machine jamming.

Installation Mounting Warning Do not install, remove, or rewire this equipemnt with power applied. Failure to heed this warning may result in fire, explosion, or serious injury. The chassis must be earth grounded. Use a star washer beneath the head of at least one of the mounting screws to penetrate the anodized chassis surface and to reach bare metal.
Installation • Mount drive with its board in either a horizontal or vertical plane. Six 0.19 in. (5 mm) wide slots in the chassis accept #8 pan head screws. Fasten either the large base or the narrow flange of the chassis to the subplate. Wiring Warning Do not install, remove, or rewire this equipment with power...
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 leads is not practical, the user should twist all logic leads with themselves to minimize induced noise.
MAC08-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 Speed adjust potentiometer Warning Be sure that the potentiometer tabs do not make contact with the enclosure. Grounding the input will cause damage to the drive. Mount the speed adjust potentiometer through a 0.38 in. (10 mm) hole with the hardware provided (Figure 2). Install the circular insulating disk between the panel and the 10K ohm 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.
Do not install, remove, or rewire this equipemnt with power applied. Failure to heed this warning may result in fire, explosion, or serious injury. Minarik strongly recommends the installation of a master power switch in the voltage input line, as shown in Figure 4 (page 10). The switch contacts should be rated at a minimum of 200% of drive current and 250 volts.
2. Install a line fuse on L1 as shown. Do not install a line fuse on L2 unless the input voltage is 240 VAC. Minarik strongly recommends the installation of a master power switch in the voltage input line, as shown in Figure 4.

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 10, page 27) or remove power if the motor is to remain idle. Disable the drive or remove power after the motor has come to a stop.
Installation 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. The amber FWD or REV LED will blink as the drive decelerates the motor but before it has changed direction. TB501 Figure 5.
It is very important that terminal U be left open (no connection) for single-phase operation. If the motor and capacitor are sold separately, Minarik highly recommends buying only the motor and operating in 2-phase mode. The resulting speed range will be considerably wider, while starting torque will approach that of a 3-phase motor.
Installation NOTE: MAKE NO CONNECTION TO TERMINAL “U” DIP SWITCH 5 = ON Figure 6. Motor Connections for Single-Phase Operation (Motor With Pre-Wired Capacitor)
Installation Three-phase motors NOTE: Ensure that DIP switch 5 on SW501 is set to OFF for three-phase motor operation. Connect a three-phase motor to terminals U, V and W as shown in Figure 7 (page 16). Table 1. Motor Phase DIP Switch Settings MOTOR DIP SWITCH PHASE...
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. Do not use the voltage-doubling feature when line voltage is greater than 120 VAC.
Do not apply line voltage greater than 120 VAC. Jumper wire, if used, must be 14 AWG (1.63 mm) or greater. Minarik highly recommends using the jumper included with the MAC drive. MAC-series drives are equipped with a unique voltage-doubling feature, for use when 240 VAC input voltage is not available.
Operation To enable voltage doubling: 1. Verify that the line voltage source is 120 VAC. Do not apply power at this time. 2. Add a jumper to the voltage doubling terminals. Refer to Figure 8 for terminal location. Table 2. Voltage Doubler Configuration Jumper Setting Input Voltage Output Voltage...
Operation Before applying power 1. Verify that no conductive material is present on the PCB. 2. Verify that the voltage output is properly set by installing or removing a jumper on the voltage doubler terminals, as required. Refer to Figure 8 (page 19). 3.
Operation Startup NOTE: When power is applied, a one-second delay will occur before motor operation. 1. Apply 120 or 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, single-phase power to the drive. The green POWER LED will come on. If it does not, check the external line fuses to ensure that they are properly installed and not blown.
Operation To reverse motor direction: When the motor is running in the forward direction, the amber FWD LED will light; when the motor is running in reverse, the amber REV LED will come on. To reverse the direction of motor shaft rotation while the motor is running, set the FWD/REV switch to the opposite position.
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 (page 12) for ENABLE/DISABLE switch installation.
ENABLE input to reset and restart the drive. Line starting and line stopping Warning Minarik strongly recommends the installation of a master power switch in the voltage input line (see Figure 4, page 10). The switch contacts should be rated at a minimum of 200% of drive current and 250 volts.
Operation Decelerate to minimum speed The circuit shown in Figure 9 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. If the MIN SPD trimpot is set full CCW, the motor decelerates to zero speed when the switch between S2 and S1 is closed.
Disable the drive or remove power after the motor has come to a stop. The MAC series is equipped with DC injection braking, for use with high-inertia applications. As a rule, DC motors do not convert AC ripple in the DC voltage to mechanical energy;...
Operation When injection braking is selected and the drive is disabled, the normal AC phase output to the motor from the drive is set to its minimum frequency. The drive simultaneously introduces a DC voltage (not to exceed the threshold set by the CURRENT LIMIT trimpot) into the motor stator.
Operation 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 condition. 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.
BE ALERT. High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury. 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.
Calibration Max Frequency DIP Switch Settings NOTE: Whenever a DIP switch state is changed, it will be ignored by the microprocessor until the drive is disabled, then re-enabled. NOTE: DIP switches are shown in their initial settings prior to drive calibration. Figure 13.

Carrier Frequency Mode DIP Switch Layout † Silent mode operates with a fundamental carrier frequency of 16/32 kHz. Normal mode operates with a fundamental carrier frequency of 11/22 kHz.
Calibration MINIMUM SPEED (MIN SPD) Apply power to the drive. Slowly rotate the MIN SPD trimpot CW until the motor begins to turn, then slowly rotate the pot CCW until the motor just stops. This step calibrates the MIN SPD pot to zero speed without hysteresis. MAXIMUM SPEED (MAX SPD) Rotate the speed adjust pot full CCW.
Calibration SLIP COMPENSATION (SLIP COMP) Increase the motor speed to maximum. Slowly load the motor until the AC phase current is at its maximum (100%). If the motor slowed at all, rotate the SLIP COMP trimpot CW until the motor shaft rotates at the original set speed. ACCELERATION/DECELERATION (ACCEL/DECEL) Quickly set the speed adjust pot to zero speed (full CCW) and note the time the motor takes to stop.
Calibration Torque Boost Adjustment OPTIONAL: To increase system efficiency, the torque boost may be increased at this time. Torque boost should be set to zero if the motor has no load or a slight load. If the drive trips, or the TQ LIMIT LED flickers or illuminates during acceleration, you must increase the torque boost setting.
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 16. An option is to install an ENABLE/DISABLE switch in series with the thermal protection switch (Figure 17). TB501 Figure 16.
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 18 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 20 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 21. 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.
NOTE: An isolated reference signal must be used with the non- PCM MACdrive. Do not use a grounded reference with any non- PCM MAC series drive. TB501 Figure 22. Voltage Follower Connections...
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.
