ii. SAFETY WARNING! — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY This product should be installed and serviced by a qualified technician, electrician or electrical maintenance person familiar with its operation and the hazards involved. Proper installation, which includes wiring, mounting in proper enclosure, fusing or other overcurrent protection and grounding, can reduce the chance of electric shocks, fires or explosion in this product or products used with this product, such as electric motors, switches, coils, solenoids and/or relays.

Two modes of current limit are provided: 1. Timed Current Limit "TCL" – Turns the drive off after a preset time. (The time period is adjustable with the TCL trimpot from 1-15 seconds and is factory set for approximately 5 seconds.) In order for the Timed CL feature to operate, the Start/Stop circuit must be wired.
C. Field (For Shunt Wound FIG. 6 – AC LINE AND ARMATURE CONNECTION motors only) – Do not use F+ and F- terminals for any other motor type. Connect motor shunt field to terminals F+ and F- for 90VDC motors with 100VDC fields...

Alarm Contacts – S.P.S.T. relay contacts (terminals "3" and "4") are used to signal a warning or to shut other equipment down if control goes to an Inhibit state. Rating of contacts are 1A-28VDC, .5A-115VAC. See table 8 for relay control state vs contact state. (See fig.

FIG. 11 – OFFSET TRIMPOT ADJUSTMENT B. Offset (OFFSET) – This trimpot determines the amount of bias in the forward or reverse direction. The trimpot is factory set to provide ap- proximately zero offset, which means neither the forward nor the reverse speed is favored.
E. IR Compensation (IR Comp) – The IR Comp is used to stabilize motor speed under varying loads. (Note: If control is in Tach Feedback mode, the IR Comp should be set to minimum - CCW.) Readjust the IR Comp trimpot as follows: Run motor at approximately 30-50% of rated speed under no load and measure actual speed.
