Peaktronics AMC-103 Manual

PEAKTRONICS
The Peaktronics AMC-103 AC Motor Controller is
a compact module that is intended for controlling small AC
actuator motors of up to 2A. The AMC-103 is very well
suited for applications where space constraints within the
actuator would not allow the mounting of conventional mo-
tor controllers.
The AMC-103 is used for proportional positioning
of the actuator. An external command signal of 0-5V, 0-
10V, 4-20mA, or 1-5V is compared to a feedback signal
from a potentiometer. This in turn will energize one of the
AC outputs (open or close) to power the actuator until the
feedback signal matches the command signal, at which time
the controller's AC output is turned off and the actuator mo-
tor stops. If the command signal is lost or disconnected, the
unit interprets this as a zero command signal, and therefore
moves the actuator to the position associated with the zero
adjustment.
Non-interactive Zero and Span adjustments allow
easy field calibration, and the Deadband adjustment allows
control of faster actuators. The unit includes a red LED
indicator (for the open output), a green LED (for the close
output), and an on-board replaceable fuse.
The unit is available in versions for 117VAC ±10%
(AMC-103), 234VAC ±10% (AMC-103A), and 24VAC
±10% (AMC-103B) and provides optical isolation between
the input signal and the AC outputs. Its solid construction
body makes it rugged and easy to mount (two #6 through
holes are provided). Screw terminals and a wiring diagram
on the unit allow for easy field installation.
