Calibration MAXIMUM SPEED ADJUSTMENT This feature is provided to allow the motor speed to be adjusted between 85 to 115% of motor name plate rated speed when the speed adjust knob is set at maximum. REGULATION (IR COMPENSATION) Regulation is obtained by circuitry which raises the armature voltage to maintain speed when increased loading tends to slow the motor down.
Calibration Standard Calibration The control has been factory calibrated and no further adjustments should be necessary. However, since the control was calibrated using a speed adjust pot (P1) of 10K ohms and the pot shipped with the control has a tolerance of ± 5%, the maximum speed could be higher or lower than 1800 RPM.

Calibration Adjust the MAXIMUM SPEED trim pot for motor base speed at no load. Load the motor to full load and adjust the REGULATION trimpot to obtain the same speed as at no load.
Furthermore, Minarik Corporation assumes no responsibility for the use of any circuitry described and makes no representation that they are free from patent infringement.
Application Notes Speed Adjustment The speed adjust potentiometer (P1), supplied with the control, is only one of many methods which can be used to control the motor speed. With any alternative methods, these precautions must be followed for proper control operation: a.
Application Notes Adjustable / Maximum Speed The addition of a single pole, double-throw switch or relay contact allows a selection of a continuously variable or a fixed maximum speed (see Figure 4 below). This is useful in applications where a fast return to the “home”...
Application Notes Multiple Fixed Speeds This is accomplished by using a multi-position switch with the correct number of positions for the desired number of fixed speeds and the same number of resistors with a total series resistance of 10K Ohms to replace speed adjust pot (P1). See Figure 5 below. Figure 5.
Application Notes Adjustable Speeds in Two or More Non-Overlapping Speed Ranges This is accomplished by replacing the speed adjust pot (P1) with two or more potentiometers connected in series (total series resistance must be 10K Ohms) and a multi-position switch. Illustrated is a connection diagram for two speed control with high and low speed adjust pots.
Application Notes Multiple Full Range Adjustable Speeds This is accomplished by replacing the speed adjust pot (P1) with two or more potentiometers connected in parallel (total parallel resistance must be 10K Ohms) and a multi-position switch. Illustrated is a connection diagram for two full range adjustable speeds.
Application Notes Independent Forward and Reverse Speeds This is accomplished by replacing the speed adjust pot (P1) with two 20K Ohm potentiometers connected in parallel (equals 10 Ohms) with a SPDT switch and a DPDT switch to select operating station. See Figure 8 below. Figure 8.
DC voltage across the resistor. Use the speed adjust pot to set the motor’s minimum speed. If only a grounded signal is available, use a Minarik PCM4 Process Control Module to convert the signal to ungrounded (floating).
Application Notes Simultaneous Speed Control of Multiple Systems Multiple drives can be controlled with a single speed adjust potentiometer using a PCM4 at the input of each drive to provide isolation (Figure 10). Optional ratio potentiometers can be used to scale the PCM4 output voltage, allowing independent control of each drive.
Run / Stop Circuits Run / Stop Using Normally Closed Contacts This is accomplished by inserting a set of normally closed contacts in series with the violet wire that connects to the speed adjust pot. When the contacts are opened, the motor will coast to a stop. This method is desirable when dynamic...
Run/Stop Circuits Run / Stop Using Normally Open Contacts This is accomplished by inserting a set of normally open contacts in parallel with the gray and brown wires that connect to the speed adjust pot. When the contacts are closed, the motor will coast to a stop.
Reversing Circuits Plug reversing the motor (not allowing the motor to come to a stop before reversing) will cause Warning excessively high currents to flow in the armature circuit, which can damage the control and/or motor and is not recommended. If rapid reversing is required, use one of the dynamic braking circuits listed in this manual.
Reversing Circuits Reversing with a Toggle or Rotary Switch This can be accomplished by using a DPDT, center off switch. When power is applied to the control and the switch is in the center position, the motor is stopped. When the switch is actuated in one direction, the motor will run forward.
REVERSE pushbuttons are to be located remotely from the control, low voltage relay coils are used. In operation, power is applied to the SL10U control and the appropriate voltage to L1 and L2. When PB1 is actuated, the motor will run forward. When PB2 is actuated, the motor will stop.
Dynamic Braking DC Permanent Magnet Motor Dynamic Braking Theory In operation, a permanent magnet (PM) field DC motor has the armature connected to its DC power supply. The interaction of the magnetic field created by the field and the current flowing in the armature winding causes the motor to run.

The lower the resistance, the greater the current flow. And, since the reversing current or braking torque is proportional to the current flow, the faster the stopping. For the SL10U a jumper wire instead of a resistor gives optimum braking.
Dynamic Braking Dynamic Braking Circuit Cautions Gearmotor Caution Care must be taken when using dynamic braking with gearmotors connected to inertial type loads. Forces can be developed which may be destructive to the gearing. IMPORTANT: Dynamic braking is only for fast stopping and NOT for holding a load.
Dynamic Braking Run/Stop with Dynamic Braking using a Toggle Switch This can be accomplished with a SPDT toggle switch and a 12 AWG jumper wire in place of a dynamic braking resistor. Power is applied to the control. When the toggle switch is set to RUN, the motor starts running.
Dynamic Braking Run/Stop Dynamic Braking using a Relay This can be accomplished with a DPDT relay, two momentary operated pushbutton switches (one normally open and one normally closed) and a 12 AWG jumper wire in place of a dynamic braking resistor.
Reversing with Dynamic Braking Circuits Reversing with Dynamic Braking using a Rotary Switch This can be accomplished with a 2-pole, 3-position rotary switch and a 12 AWG jumper wire in place of a dynamic braking resistor. When power is applied to the control and the rotary switch is switched to FORWARD, the motor starts running in one direction.
Reversing with Dynamic Braking Circuits Reversing with Dynamic Braking using Relays This can be accomplished with two 3PDT relays, three momentary operated pushbutton switches (two with normally open contacts and one with normally closed contacts) and a jumper wire in place of a dynamic braking resistor.
Limit Switch Circuits Be sure to use some type of override device on the limit switch actuators so that motor coast does not Warning damage limit switches or allow limit switches to deactivate. Care must be taken when using dynamic braking with gearmotors connected to inertial type loads.
Limit Switch Circuits Toggle Switch Reversing with Limit Switches This can be accomplished with a 3PDT, center OFF toggle switch and two normally closed limit switches. When power is applied to the control and the toggle switch is in the center position, the motor is STOPPED.
Limit Switch Circuits Relay Reversing with Dynamic Braking and Limit Switches This can be accomplished with two 3PDT relays, three momentary operated pushbutton switches (two with normally open contacts and one with normally closed contacts), two normally closed limit switches and a 12 AWG jumper wire in place of a dynamic braking resistor.
Page 49
Limit Switch Circuits In operation, power is applied to the SL10U control and the appropriate voltage to L1 and L2. When PB1 is actuated, the motor will run forward until the limit switch is actuated and the motor dynamically brakes to a stop. When PB3 is actuated, the motor will run in reverse until the other limit switch is actuated and the motor dynamically brakes to a stop.
Troubleshooting Before proceeding check the following: • Be sure the power line is the same voltage as that listed on the control nameplate. • Check to see that the line fuse is of the same value as shown on the control nameplate. I.
Page 52
Troubleshooting II. Set speed control pot, P1, at zero on the dial and apply power. If the line fuse blows, disconnect the power and check the following: A. Transient suppressor, DAS, may be shorted. B. One or more of the diodes (D2, D3, D4, or D5) may be shorted.
Page 53
Troubleshooting III. Connect the motor to the control, apply power, and advance the speed adjust knob to the maximum setting on the dial: A. If the line fuse continues to blow: 1. The motor may be overloaded. a. Disconnect the power from the control. b.
Page 54
Troubleshooting 4. A diode (D2, D3, D4, or D5) may be open causing the fuse to blow at no load or very light load. This may be due to high armature current. 5. Diode (D1) may be shorted. B. If the fuse does not blow, but the motor will not run: 1.
