IMPORTANT APPLICATION INFORMATION WARNING! DO NOT USE THIS DRIVE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT. AN EXPLOSION CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. THIS DRIVE IS NOT EXPLOSION PROOF. WARNING! BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. FIRE OR ELECTROCUTION CAN RESULT DUE TO IMPROPER USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING! READ SAFETY WARNING, ON PAGE 5, BEFORE USING THIS CONTROL. CAUTION! To avoid erratic operation, do not bundle AC line and motor connections with potentiometer connections, voltage following connections, Start/Stop switch connections, inhibit connections, or any other signal connections. Use shielded cables on all signal connections over 12”...
FIGURE 3 – AC LINE AND ARMATURE CONNECTION M2 M1 (EARTH) AC LINE ARMATURE INPUT See Table 6, for Torque Requirements. 6.3 Fusing AC Line Fuse – The KBRG-212D does not contain an AC line fuse or Armature fuse. It is recommended that a 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker be installed on each AC line conductor not at ground potential.

6.8 Main Speed Potentiometer Connection – The main speed potentiometer can be connected in several ways. (A 5kΩ ohm potentiometer is supplied with control. A 10K potentiometer can also be used.) See Figures 6A – 6D. 6.8.1 Unidirectional operation (FORWARD) – Connect potentiometer to terminals “+15,”...
6.9 Signal Following – In this mode, a signal source is used to vary motor speed. 6.9.1 Voltage Following – Uses a voltage source to vary motor speed. Set J17 (See Section 7.7 on page 22 for jumper information) to “VOLT” position and connect the voltage source to TB1 terminals SIG (+) and COM (-) (See Figures 7A below and 7C, on page 18), Voltage Following Connection.
FIGURE 7C - J17 FIGURE 7D - J8 VOLTAGE SCALE CURRENT SCALE 90V / 90V / 180 V 20mA 6.10 Enable / Inhibit – The control features an Enable / Inhibit function. The control can be electronically stopped and started with the Enable / Inhibit circuit. The Enable circuit functions opposite to that of the inhibit circuit.
6.11 Tach-Generator Feedback, J1 – The KBRG-212D is FIGURE 9 – factory set for armature feedback which provides good J1 -TACH-GENERATOR load regulation for most applications. For superior FEEDBACK load regulation analog tach-generator feedback can be used. Connect the tach-generator to J1, so that the polarity of the tach-generator is the same with respect to the input signal polarity.
7.2 J3 – Armature Voltage FIGURE 11B – J3 FIGURE 11A – J3 Output and Tach-Generator ARMATURE VOLTAGE ARMATURE VOLTAGE Feedback – Select (180V) desired armature voltage by (90V) (Default Position) placing J3 in the proper position, “A90" or “A180.” See Figure 11A.
In the torque control mode FIGURE 14 - MOTOR SPEED vs. (J5 set to TRQ), the APPLIED MOTOR LOAD (TORQUE MODE) KBRG-212D will vary the maximum motor torque as a function of the voltage input to terminals “SIG” HIGHER TORQUE SETTING (signal) “COM”...
7.5 J8 – Analog (Signal) Input Voltage – FIGURE 16 - J8 15V / 10V The output of this control is normally controlled JUMPER with the main potentiometer. However, an analog voltage (isolated) may also be used in (Shown in the 10V Position) place of a potentiometer.
8 RECOMMENDED HIGH VOLTAGE DIELECTRIC WITHSTAND TESTING (HI-POT TESTING) WARNING! READ SAFETY WARNING ON PAGE 5 BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE. SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH CAN RESULT. Testing agencies such as UL, CSA, etc., usually require that equipment undergo a hi-pot test.

The KBRG-212D can be operated as speed controls or torque controls by setting the position of jumper J5. The Main Speed Potentiometer controls the magnitude of the mode selected. Set jumper J5 to "SPD" for speed control or to "TRQ" for torque control. See Table 10.
FIGURE 20A – FORWARD AND REVERSE FIGURE 20B – ACCEL TRIMPOT ACCELERATION TRIMPOT POSITIONS ADJUSTMENT Time -100 10.2 Maximum Speed (MAX) - The MAX Trimpot is FIGURE 21 –MAXIMUM SPEED used to set the maximum output voltage of the TRIMPOT POSITION control which, in turn, sets the maximum speed of the motor.
c. Apply power; Rotate CL trimpot CW until desired CL setting is reached (factory setting is 1.5 times rated motor current). Be sure control is in Forward direction for FCL trimpot adjustment and likewise with RCL. WARNING! DO NOT LEAVE MOTOR SHAFT LOCKED FOR MORE THAN 2 - 3 SECONDS, TO PREVENT MOTOR DAMAGE.
10.5 Response (RESP) - This trimpot determines the dynamic response of the control. The factory FIGURE 24 –RESPONSE setting is approximately 50% of full rotation. The TRIMPOT POSITION setting may be increased if a faster response is required. See Figure 24. Note: If response is made too fast, unstable operation may result.
10.7 Offset (OFFSET) - This trimpot determines the amount of bias in the forward or reverse direction. The trimpot is factory set to provide approximately zero offset, which means neither the forward nor the reverse speed is favored. See Figures 26A and 26B. FIGURE 26A –...
11 DIAGNOSTIC LEDS The KBRG-212D is designed with LEDs mounted on the Control Board, to indicate the control=s operational status. See Figure 1, on page 10. 11.1 LED 1 Power On (PWR ON) -Indicates that the drive is energized with the AC line. 11.2 LED 2 Current Overload (OL) - Indicates that the drive is in Current Overload.
