Chapter 1 Introduction Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Baldor BC154/BCWD140 Series NEMA-4X (IP-65) SCR DC Motor Speed and Torque Control. It is designed for applications requiring washdown watertight integrity. Its housing is ruggedly constructed of die cast aluminum which is protected with an acrylic coating for the ultimate in corrosion resistance.
SAFETY NOTICE Continued Caution: Do not connect AC power to the Motor terminals A1 and A2. Connecting AC power to these terminals may damage the control. Caution: Baldor recommends not to use Grounded Leg Delta transformer power leads that may create ground loops.
Chapter 2 Installation WARNING: Do not use this drive in an explosive environment. An explosion can cause serious or fatal injury. This drive is not explosion proof. Introduction The BC155 is intended to be installed in a vertical position on a flat surface free of moisture, metal chips, or corrosive atmosphere.
Motor Armature Connect motor armature leads A+ and A-terminals and tighten to correct torque (Table 2-1). The armature fuse provides overload protection for the motor and control. The factory installed fuse is rated for maximum horsepower (type SC-40, 40Amp). To provide proper protection for motors rated less than maximum, use a fuse sized at approximately 1.7 times the DC amperage rating of the motor.
Seven (7) Volts per 1000 RPM Tachometer If using a 7 Volts/1000 RPM tachometer, connect the Positive (+) lead to Terminal 7V, and connect the Negative (-) lead to the I2 or F- Terminal on the Control Terminal Strip. Fifty (50) Volts per 1000 RPM Tachometer If using a 50 Volts/1000 RPM tachometer, connect the Positive (+) lead to Terminal 50V, and connect the Negative (-) lead to the I2 or F- Terminal on the Control Terminal Strip.
START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS After the control has been mounted properly and electrical connections have been completed, 1. Verify the speed adjust potentiometer is set fully counterclockwise. 2. Apply AC power. 3. Observe the Power ON LED indicator is illuminated. If not on, refer to troubleshooting. 4.
Notes: 1. Excessive IR compensation will cause unstable operation and cogging. 2. If using tachometer feedback, the IR trimpot should be set to minimum, fully counterclockwise. Current Limit Trimpot (CL) The CL trimpot sets the current limit, (overload), which limits the maximum current, (torque), to the motor.
