Make sure you read and understand the Safety WARNING! Precautions on page i before attempting to install this product.
PAT Series Wiring Do not install, rewire, or remove this control with input power applied. Failure to heed this warning may result in fire, explosion, or serious injury. WARNING! Circuit potentials are at 115 or 230 VAC above ground. To prevent the risk of injury or fatality, avoid direct contact with the printed circuit board or with circuit elements.
PAT Series Shielding Guidelines Under no circumstances should power and logic level leads be bundled together. Induced voltage can cause unpredictable behavior in any electronic device, including motor controls. WARNING! As a general rule, it is recommended to shield all conductors. If it is not practical to shield power conductors, it is recommended to shield all logic-level leads.
PAT Series Line Fusing Drives are preinstalled with 15 amp fuses. Preinstalled line fuses are rated for maximum horsepower. If the horsepower rating of the motor being used is less than the maximum horsepower rating of the drive, the line fuse may have to be replaced with a lower rated one.

(+) to S2. Make no connection to S3. A potentiometer can be used to scale the analog input voltage. An interface device, such as American Control Electronics model ISO202-1, may be used to scale and isolate an analog input voltage.
PAT Series Analog Input Signal (PAT443) Instead of using a speed adjust potentiometer, the drive may be wired to follow an analog input voltage or current signal that is either isolated SIG MIN. SIG MAX or non-isolated from earth ground. Connect the signal common (-) to S1.
PAT Series Section 4. Operation Change voltage switch settings only when the drive is disconnected from AC line voltage. Make sure both switches are set to their correct position. If the switches are improperly set to a lower voltage position, the motor will not run at full voltage WARNING! and may cause damage to the transformer.
PAT Series Select Switches Input Voltage Select (SW501) Set the input voltage select switch SW501 to either 115 or 230 to match the AC line voltage. See Figure 7. Armature Voltage Select (SW502) IL502 IC501 CURRENT C502 Set the armature voltage select switch SW502 to either 90 or 180 to...
PAT Series Startup PAT440 Turn the speed adjust potentiometer to “0” (full CCW) or set the input voltage signal to minimum. Set the POWER switch to the ON position. Slowly advance the speed adjust potentiometer clockwise (CW) or increase the input voltage signal. The motor slowly accelerates as the potentiometer is turned CW or as the input voltage signal is increased.
PAT Series PAT450 Do not change direction while the motor is running. The motor must come to a complete stop before reversing. Changing motor direction before allowing the motor to completely stop will cause WARNING! excessively high current to flow in the armature circuit, and will damage the drive and/or motor.
PAT Series Starting and Stopping Methods Dynamic braking, coasting to a stop, or decelerating to minimum speed is recommended for frequent starts and stops. Do not use any of these methods for emergency stopping. They may not stop WARNING! a drive that is malfunctioning.
PAT Series Dynamic Braking Wait for the motor to completely stop before switching back to RUN. This will prevent high armature currents from damaging the motor or drive. WARNING! Dynamic braking may be used to rapidly stop a motor (Figure 8 on page 22).
PAT Series Table 4. Minimum Recommended Dynamic Brake Resistor Values Motor Armature Voltage Dynamic Brake Resistor Value 90 VDC 15 ohms 180 VDC 30 ohms For motors rated 1/17 horsepower and lower, a brake resistor is not necessary since the armature resistance is high enough to stop the motor without demagnetization.
18 inches (46 cm). If shielded cable is used, ground only one end of the shield to earth ground. Do not ground both ends of the shield. American Control Electronics offers two accessory plug harnesses for connecting to the INHIBIT terminals: part number 201-0024 [plug with 18 in.
PAT Series Decelerating to Minimum Speed The switch shown in Figure 10 may be used to decelerate a motor to a minimum speed. Closing the switch between S1 and S2 decelerates the motor from set speed to a minimum speed determined by the MIN SPD trim pot setting.
BE ALERT. High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury. PAT series drives have user-adjustable trim pots. Each drive is factory calibrated to its maximum current rating. Readjust the calibration trim pot settings to accommodate lower current rated motors.
PAT Series Minimum Speed (MIN SPD) The MIN SPD setting determines the minimum motor speed when the speed adjust potentiometer or input voltage signal is set for minimum speed. It is factory set for zero speed. To calibrate the MIN SPD: Set the MIN SPD trim pot full CCW.
Continuous operation beyond this rating may damage the motor. If you intend to operate beyond the rating, contact your WARNING! American Control Electronics representative for assistance. The TQ LIMIT setting determines the maximum torque for accelerating and driving the motor. To calibrate TORQUE, refer to the recommended...
PAT Series IR Compensation (IR COMP) The IR COMP setting determines the degree to which motor speed is held constant as the motor load changes. Use the following procedure to recalibrate the IR COMP setting: Set the IR COMP trim pot to minimum (full CCW).
PAT Series MODELS PAT440-10, PAT443-10, PAT450-10 1 HP 2 HP 90 VDC 180 VDC 10.0 AMPS 10.0 AMPS TQ LIMIT IR COMP TQ LIMIT IR COMP 1/2 HP 1 HP 90 VDC 180 VDC 5.00 AMPS 5.00 AMPS TQ LIMIT...
PAT Series Acceleration (ACCEL) The ACCEL setting determines the time the motor takes to ramp to a higher speed. See Specifications on page 1 for approximate acceleration times. ACCEL is factory set for the shortest acceleration time (full CCW). To set the acceleration time: Set the speed adjust potentiometer or input voltage signal for minimum speed.
PAT Series Section 6.Application Notes Multiple Fixed Speeds Replace the speed adjust potentiometer with a series of resistors with a total series resistance of 10K ohms (Figure 12). Add a single pole, multi- position switch with the correct number of positions for the desired number of fixed speeds.
PAT Series Adjustable Speeds Using Potentiometers In Series Replace the speed adjust potentiometer with a series of resistors with a total series resistance of 10K ohms (Figure 13). Add a single pole, multi- position switch with the correct number of positions for the desired number of fixed speeds.
PAT Series Independent Adjustable Speeds Replace the speed adjust potentiometer with a single pole, multi- position switch, and two or more potentiometers in parallel, with a total parallel resistance of 10K ohms. Figure 14 shows the connection of two independent speed adjust potentiometers that can be mounted at two separate operating stations.
PAT Series RUN/JOG Switch - Inhibit Connection Using a RUN/JOG switch is recommended in applications where quick stopping is not needed and frequent jogging is required. Use a single pole, two position switch for the RUN/JOG switch, and a single pole, normally closed, momentary operated pushbutton for the JOG pushbutton.
PAT Series RUN/JOG Switch - Potentiometer Connection Connect the RUN/JOG switch and the JOG pushbutton as shown in Figure 16. When the RUN/JOG switch is set to JOG, the motor decelerates to minimum speed (minimum speed is determined by the MIN SPD trim pot setting).
PAT Series Leader-Follower Application In this application, use a PCM4 to monitor the speed of the leader motor (Figure 17). The ISO202-1 isolates the leader motor from the follower drive, and outputs a voltage proportional to the leader motor armature voltage.
PAT Series Single Speed Potentiometer Control Of Multiple Drives Multiple drives can be controlled with a single speed adjust potentiometer using a ISO101-8 at the input of each drive to provide isolation (Figure 18). Optional ratio potentiometers can be used to scale the ISO101-8 output voltage, allowing independent control of each drive.
PAT Series Reversing A dynamic brake may be used when reversing the motor direction (Figure 19). Use a three pole, three position switch rated for at least the maximum DC armature voltage and maximum braking current. Wait for the motor to stop completely before switching it to either the forward or reverse direction.
PAT Series Section 7. Diagnostic LEDs PAT series drives are equipped with two diagnostic LEDs: • Power (POWER): Green LED lights whenever AC line voltage is applied to the drive. • Current Limit (TQ LIMIT): Red LED lights whenever the drive reaches current limit.
PAT Series Section 8. Troubleshooting Dangerous voltages exist on the drive when it is powered. When possible, disconnect the drive while troubleshooting. High voltages can cause seroius or fatal injury. WARNING! Before Troubleshooting Perform the following steps before starting any procedure in this section: Disconnect AC line voltage from the drive.
