1 Introduction Introduction The 370 DC Drive is a non-isolated speed controller for small brushed shunt wound or permanent magnet DC motors. This "non-isolated" drive has control signals that are NOT isolated from the mains supply, therefore, do not connect any of the terminals to earth or to other non-isolated equipment as when power is applied to the drive ALL terminals are at dangerous line potential.
2 Mechanical dimensions Mechanical dimensions WARNING! PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD The drives are NON-ISOLATED. Do not allow contact of the enclosure with the drive card electronics. 40 mm 100 mm 4 off - suitable for M4 x 20 mm bolts 86 mm 97 mm screw terminals...
3 Guide for systems used in the EU Guide for systems used in the EU Special consideration must be given to installations in member states of the European Union regarding noise suppression and immunity. According to IEC 1800-3 (EN61800-3) the drive units are classified as complex components only for professional assemblers, with no CE marking for EMC.
5 Requirements for EMC compliance Requirements for EMC compliance • Keep parallel runs of power and control cables at least 0.3 metres apart. Cross-overs must be at right angles. • Keep sensitive components at least 0.3 metres from the drive and power supply cables. •...
* Potentiometer, graduated dial and knob - Sprint Electric part number: POTKIT EMC wiring: If the unit is to be used in the domestic environment, then for installations in the EU a supply filter is recommended in order to comply with EN6800-3. Sprint Electric part number: FRLN16.

WARNING! PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD Terminals A+, A-, F-, F+, N & L are at high potential. Do not touch the terminals or any connected conductor. RUN is an electronic inhibit function. The field remains energised, and all power terminals ‘live’. During hazardous operations remove the power source to the system.

USER ADJUSTMENTS The suggested Commissioning Link these two pads (on SPEED solder side) for optimum strategy starts in the safest TRANSFORMER performance when using possible mode of operation and a 60 Hz supply SPEED progressively exercises each element of the system to R32 Tacho range scaling Jumper achieve full functionality.
7 Commissioning Commissioning 7.1 Initial settings - without power To avoid damage, ensure the supply selection jumper on the drive matches the incoming ac supply: 240 Vac or 110 Vac, SUPPLY (60 Vac or 30 Vac for LV models). SELECT With the unit on the work bench, set the CURRENT preset to match the motor armature current rating as closely as possible: •...
7.3 Operating the drive WARNING! PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD RUN is an electronic inhibit function. The field remains energised, and all power terminals ‘live’. During hazardous operations remove the power source to the system. RUN must not be relied on to ensure the machine is stationary. The motor FIELD output remains energised with RUN open, please beware of overheating the motor when stopped - this does not apply to permanent magnet motors.
8 Options Options • Speed Feedback selection: If the system is to use Tacho feedback you can now adjust for the tachogenerator's output voltage, and hence the speed of the motor. Run the drive in Armature Voltage feedback mode and check the polarity of the tacho using a voltmeter.
