SAFETY WARNING! Please read carefully: Be sure to follow all instructions carefully. Fire and/or electrocution can result due to improper use of this product. This product should be installed and serviced by a qualified technician, electrician, or electrical maintenance person familiar with its operation and the hazard involved. Proper installation, which includes wiring, mounting in proper enclosure, fusing or other over current protection and grounding, can reduce the chance of electric shocks, fires, or explosion in this product or prod- ucts used with this product, such as electric motors, switches, coils, solenoids, and relays.
The BC145 is versatile since it can accommodate a wide range of input voltages (0 - 25*, 0 - 120 and 0 - 550V DC) and, in addition, a wide range of input current signals (4 - 20 mA, 10 - 50 mA and 1 - 5 mA).
12” (30 cm) – Do not ground shield. 115V AC AC Power – The BC145 is powered with either 115 or FIGURE 2B – 230V CONNECTION 230V AC, 50/60 Hz by arranging the jumpers between terminals “1”...
Note: The Voltage/Current (VLT/CUR) jumper must be in “CUR” position. Connect the negative current signal input to terminal “5” and the positive to terminal “6.” The BC145 is factory calibrated so 150Ω Resistor that a 4 - 20mA signal will provide a 0 - 9 Volt output. The input...
Note: The Voltage/Current (VLT/CUR) jumper must be in the VLT position (factory setting). The BC145 is designed to accept a wide range of input voltage signals as follows: TABLE 2 – VOLTAGE INPUT SIGNAL FIGURE 4 –...
OUTPUT SIGNAL The output signal from the BC145 is obtained from terminals “9” (-) and “10” (+). Connect the output directly to the signal following input terminal of the speed control. For multiple follower motors, several controls can be driven from a single BC145.
