INTRODUCTION The new Vari Speed S1000 is setting new standards in the field of inexpensive DC motor controllers. The smallest member of the Graham Transmissions, Inc. family includes features and performance only before thought possible in larger, more expensive units. By utilizing the latest in surface mount component technology and manufacturing processes, this controller is unsurpassed in performance and reliability.
UNIT FEATURES The following features are standard on all Vari Speed S1000 DC controls: • Surface mount technology - reduces size, improves performance and reliability. • Power supply uses control transformer and voltage regulators for optimum performance. • Full wave bridge rectifier with free-wheeling diode for optimum performance.
OPERATING CONDITIONS AC Line Voltage Variation Rated Voltage ( + / - 1 0 % ) AC Line Frequency 48 to 62 HZ Ambient Temperature 3 2° F to 131° F ( 0° C to 55° C) Elevation Up to 3000 Feet (1000 meters) without aerating NOTE: The Ambient Temperature specification is referring to the...

Read all warnings and notes before proceeding to install or operate this control. The Vari Speed S1000 should be mounted in an enclosure appropriate for the application’s environment. Failure to do so could cause equipment malfunction or serious personal injury.
Page 12
FOLLOW INSTRUCTION MANUAL, LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL SAFETY CODES FOR PROPER INSTALLATION. ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER TO THE CONTROL BEFORE MAKING ANY WIRING CHANGES, OR BEFORE INSPECTING EQUIPMENT. 2 . It is strongly recommended that the “L” bracket or heatsink of the unit is mounted to a grounded surface. 3 .

UNIT FUNCTIONS RUN/STOP: A closed contact between the RUN and V+ will start the control as long as the INHIBIT is not activated. At the time of the START command, the unit will follow the adjustable ACCEL ramp to the Speed Input setting.
Page 15
*Verify that INHIBIT Is properly wired for application. See pages 14 & 15 for details. NOTES: 1. Factory set at 0 Vdc. 2 . Factory set for 90 Vdc for 120V controllers, 180 V dc for 240 V controllers. 3 . Factory set for 100% of controller rating. 4 .
Page 17
UNIT FUNCTIONS CONTINUED To program the S1000 for either a NO or NC type INHIBIT conditions, the unit’s logic should be set with Jumper J1. Jumper J1 is a 10K ohm; 1/4 watt resistor which is located between the inhibit and SP2 terminals on the S1000 circuit board. See Component Location page 21 for further information.

WIRING 1 . Refer to Ratings Chart (pg 8) for incoming line current and fuse rating. It is the responsibility of the user or person installing the controller to provide branch circuit protection according to NEC and local codes. On controllers using 120 VAC input, be sure the incoming hot lead is connected to L1 and common is connected to L2.
6 . WARNING: ALL TERMINALS OF THE UNIT ARE AT LINE POTENTIAL AND CAN BE EXTREMELY: HAZARDOUS. POWER MUST BE REMOVED FROM UNIT BEFORE ANY WIRES ARE CONNECTED. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, EQUIPMENT FAILURE, OR BOTH. 7 .
Page 21
2 . Set the Speed Pot to Minimum Speed (CCW), and place the external RUN/STOP switch in the STOP position 3 . Apply power to the control. Place the RUN/STOP switch in the RUN position. The RUN (green) LED should glow, but the motor should not turn.
SET-UP PROCEDURES The Vari Speed S1000 has been set up at the factory to satisfy most application needs. You may, however, wish to tailor your control specifically to your application requirements. If so, follow these instructions for proper set-up. FACTORY SETTINGS...
Page 24
CURRENT (TORQUE) LIMIT ADJUST (CL) (Clockwise Increases Current) There are two methods for adjusting CL. METHOD 1: 1 . Start the machine and run at desired speed, then apply maximum load to the motor and turn CL trimpot fully clockwise. 2 .
Page 25
IR COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENT (IR) (Clockwise Increases Compensation) This adjustment is provided to overcome the motor’s natural tendency to slow down with increasing load. If improved load/speed performance is required, this adjustment may be used. NOTE: In order to optimize performance with this adjustment, some means of determining motor shaft speed is required.
Page 26
MINIMUM SPEED ADJUSTMENT (MIN) (Clockwise Increases Minimum Speed) 1 . Turn external Speed Pot fully counterclockwise (CCW). 2 . Turn MAX Speed Trimpot fully CCW. 3 . Produce a RUN command so that the RUN LED (green) is on and adjust the MIN SPEED trimpot until desired minimum speed is set.
Page 27
ACCELERATION (ACCEL)/ DECELERATION (DECEL) ADJUSTMENTS Set these two trimpots for desired times. Both ACCEL and DECEL trim pots adjust from a linear .5 to 15 seconds. Acceleration rate may be extended with CL if reflected inertia is high. DECEL may be longer if reflected inertia is high.
TWO-SPEED APPLICATION By using single-pole, double throw (SPDT) relay or switch, preset two-speed operation is possible. 1 . Replace external speed pot with SPDT contacts as shown below. 2. With SPDT contacts closed between terminals SP2 and SP3, adjust the MIN SPEED trimpot to desired low speed. 3.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE MOTOR WILL NOT RUN: 1 . Make sure power is applied to unit. If not, make sure disconnect fuses or circuit breaker in line are okay. 2 . Make sure RUN switch is on (RUN (green) LED should be lit). 3 .
Page 30
NO SPEED CONTROL: 1 . Speed pot or wiring defective. 2 . Control not set up properly (See Set-Up Procedures, pg 22) 3 . Defective control. MOTOR WILL NOT RUN AT 1725 RPM: 1 . Improper setting MAX Speed trimpot (range trimpot with isolated units).
PLUG-ON TERMINAL OPTION The Plug-On Terminal board provides for easy wiring for standard 14-20 AWG wire. 1 . Refer to drawing below for proper terminal wiring. NOTE: Wiring to Terminal Board before installation to Vari Speed S1000 may simplify procedure. 2 .
