The unit contains three proprietary servo power amplifiers, contactor circuitry and a power supply. 1.1 SPA1 kit components Two SPA1 kits are available, the contents of these kits being dependent on whether a UCC1 or UCC2 controller is incorporated into the system. These kits contain the following components:...
A-5121-0029 1.2.1.1 SPA1 service kit for UCC1 control (A-1333-0017) This SPA1 service kit contains the following components that will assist in the connection of the SPA1 to a UCC1 controlled system: • 3 off motor connectors including backshells • 6 off power pins for motor connectors (7W2) •...
There are a number of possible causes for this LED being lit, please refer to the Control Techniques™, ‘Mini Maestro™’ user guide supplied with the product. 2.2 Emergency stop LED This LED is lit when the SPA1 is aware of an emergency stop being applied to the system. During normal operation this LED is not illuminated.
This LED is lit when the SPA1 servo amps are engaged. 2.4 Power This LED is lit when there is a mains supply attached to the SPA1 unit. 2.5 Emergency stop button A normal category ‘B’ emergency stop function is provided within this unit. It is the machine installer's...

(earthing) is the responsibility of the manufacturer or equipment installer. Isolation: the SPA1 is isolated by removing the mains connector. It is the responsibility of the equipment installer or user to fit additional means of isolation if indicated by risk assessment.
To construct the 20 KΩ potentiometer on 150 mm wire the following procedure is recommended. 1. Take the wire supplied in the SPA1 service pack and cut it in half. 2. Solder one of the wires to two of the potentiometers legs (centre and one side).
4.1.5 Machine I/O connector Depending on the type of SPA1 service kit that is purchased, the connector for the machine I/O is altered within the service kit. • For the SPA1 service kit of UCC1 the connector is a 37-way D plug •...
Installing the SPA1 4.2 Setting of the motor voltage The SPA1 has the ability to drive either 24 V or 48 V motors, the factory setting for the unit is the 48 V configuration. WARNINGS: Before the SPA1 is opened up, mains power to the SPA1 must be switched off.
The recommended procedure for accessing the SPA drives located within the SPA1 unit is as detailed below. 1. Remove the front panel of the SPA1 by releasing the 6 fixing screws that restrain the front panel as shown in figure 13.
Installing the SPA1 4.4 Functions of the SPA drive potentiometers The SPA drives have 5 potentiometers located at the front of the SPA1 when fitted. Their functions are detailed below – please refer to figure 14. Figure 14 - Locations of potentiometers on the drive NOTE: For further explanation concerning each potentiometer function listed in this section, please refer to the ‘Mini Maestro™’...
4. Fit the 20 KΩ multiturn potentiometer on 150 mm wire connected to a DIL header into SK1. 5. Refit the SPA drive into the SPA1. Be sure to feed the wire with the 20 KΩ multiturn potentiometer so that the potentiometer is at the front of the SPA drive when fitted.

8. Disengage the servos in RENICIS and switch off the mains power to SPA1. 9. Remove the SPA drive from the SPA1 by sliding out the drive from the front of the enclosure. 10. Remove the DIL header fitted to SK1.
This is completed by the removal of a screw from each side of the SPA1 unit towards the front of the enclosure, and removal of the 5 screws across the top of the rear panel of the SPA1. Then the top of the SPA1 can be removed by pulling upward on the lid of the unit.
