ADJUSTMENTS AND
1. SELECTING 60 OR 120 PULSE
Always have switch (S1) set to 120 on "master
control" P.C. card.
To avoid failure of the DC motor, the fuse on this
control must be resized to match the fuse size
listed on the motor nameplate. Do not exceed 10
Amps maximum.
The MAX Output trimpot must be adjusted to
prevent the DC motor from being damaged when
the control is turned up to full power. Use a
Plus Plus Plus
voltmeter to monitor the output of the control. Do
not exceed the voltage shown on the nameplate of
the motor.
NOTE: Output to motor must be connected
and the control set for proper output frequency
(120 pulse) setting. The Run Jumper must be
connected as shown on the wiring diagram.

4. REMOTE OFF/ON CONTROL
Note: a Run Jumper has been installed at the
factory as shown on the enclosed wiring diagram.
Remote OFF/ON operation of the FC-40 Plus
Series Feeder Cube Series Series Series
to operate in one of the following ways.
A. A low current switch such as a paddle switch
can replace the factory-installed Run jumper
"J1." The "Run Contact" connects to
terminals 6 and 7. The contact must be able
to switch 5VDC and 2mA. The control will
then run only when the contact is closed.
Refer to Section A of the OFF/ON CONTROL
GUIDE.
B. Feeder Bowl/Hopper Interlock allows the
Hopper control to operate only when the Bowl
is running and the paddle switch contact is
closed. The interlock input on terminals 11
and 12 of TB2 is controlled by the interlock
output of a "Parts Sensing Feeder Bowl
Control" such as an FC-90 Plus
Remove jumper "J1" of this control from
terminals 6 and 7.
Paddle switch to alternate terminals 5 and 6.
OFF or
Connect TB2 terminals 11 and 12 of this
control to the "Parts Sensing Control". Refer
to Section B of the OFF/ON CONTROL
GUIDE. Check specific instructions for the
"Parts Sensing Control" wiring.
Note: Only use the Bowl/Hopper Interlock with
a FC-90 and FC-40 Series control. Two FC-
40 Series controls will not interlock to each
other since neither one has an interlock
output.
