Slow Speed Code

The Slow Speed CONFIG item can be used to set the slow speed code. Please refer to
section 3.5 for more information on the slow speed system. The range of values for this
parameter is 1 to 254. Higher numbers give a faster rate of slow speed movement. (A slow
speed code of 254 will disable the slow speed system - all movement will occur at fast speed.)
For most motor/sensor combinations, a slow speed code in the range of 140 to 175 is
appropriate. If the slow speed code is changed, test the slow speed system to insure that the
selected value yields reasonable results. Access to this CONFIG mode item is allowed only
when the Expert Access flag is set.

Polarization Motor Option

The RC2KPOL option allows the CONTROL-1500 to control a 12 or 24 volt polarization motor with
potentiometer based position feedback. If this option is present, a 5 terminal orange connector
will be found on the upper left-hand corner of the back panel. The CONFIG mode items
described in this section are used to configure the controller to work with the RC2KPOL option.
Access to these CONFIG mode items is allowed only if the Expert Access flag is set. The
24vdc Rot Feed item is the controlling item for access to the other items described in this
section.
The 24vdc Rot Feed CONFIG mode item is used to inform the controller of whether or not a
polarotor servo motor is present in the system. If the RC2KPOL option is installed this
parameter should be set to YES (see section 3.3).
