Installation
Moun�ng
• Components are sensi�ve to electrosta�c discharge. Avoid direct contact with the circuit board. Hold
the drive by the chassis only.
• Protect from dirt, moisture, and accidental contact.
• Provide sufficient room for access to the terminal block and calibra�on trim pots.
• Mount away from heat sources. Operate within the surrounding air temperature range.
• Prevent loose connec�ons by avoiding excessive vibra�on.
• Mount in either a horizontal or ver�cal plane. Four 0.19" (5 mm) wide slots in the chassis accept #8
pan head screws.
• The chassis should be earth grounded.
Wiring: Use 18 - 24 AWG wire for logic wiring. Use 10- 12 AWG wire for DC source (+BAT, -BAT) and
motor (A1, A2) wiring. Follow NEC standards for wiring.
Shielding Guidelines: As a general rule, it is recommended to shield all conductors. If it is not prac�cal
to shield power conductors, it is recommended to shield all logic-level leads. If shielding of logic-level
leads is not prac�cal, the user should twist all logic leads with themselves to minimize induced noise. It
may be necessary to earth ground the shielded cable. If noise is produced by devices other than the
drive, ground the shield at the drive end. If noise is generated by the drive, ground the shield at the end
away from the drive. Do not ground both ends of the shield.
Fusing: Use fast ac�ng fuses rated for at least 150% of the maximum armature current. Fuse the posi�ve
terminal.

Safety Warnings
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE INSTALLING THIS EQUIPMENT
Motor
•
DO NOT INSTALL, REMOVE OR REWIRE THIS EQUIPMENT WITH POWER APPLIED. Have a qualified
HP Range
electrical technician install, adjust and service this equipment. Follow the Na�onal Electrical Code
Continuous [Peak]
and all other applicable electrical and safety codes, including the provisions of the Occupa�onal
1/100 - 1/30 [1/15]
Safety and Health Act (OSHA), when installing equipment.
•
Avoid direct contact with the printed circuit board or with circuit elements to prevent the risk of
1/50 - 1/15 [1/8]
serious injury or fatality. Use approved personal protec�on equipment and insulated tools if working
1/40 - 1/10 [1/5]
with power applied. Use a non-metallic screwdriver for adjus�ng the calibra�on trim pots.
1/25 - 1/8 [1/4]
•
Reduce the chance of an electrical fire, shock, or explosion by using proper grounding techniques,
over-current protec�on, thermal protec�on and enclosure. Follow sound maintenance procedures.
•
The drive is not diode-protected from reverse ba�ery voltage. You must ensure that the posi�ve
terminal is wired to +BAT and the nega�ve terminal is wired to -BAT.
•
Removing DC source power is the only acceptable method for emergency stopping. Do not use
braking, decelera�ng, or coas�ng to a stop for emergency stopping. They may not stop a drive that is
malfunc�oning.
•
Applying and removing DC source voltage is recommended for infrequent star�ng and stopping of a
drive only. Braking, decelera�ng to minimum speed, or coas�ng to a stop is recommended for
frequent starts and stops. Frequent star�ng and stopping can produce high torque. This may cause
damage to motors.
•
Do not disconnect any of the motor leads from the drive unless power is removed or the drive is
disabled. Opening any one lead while the drive is running may damage the drive.
•
Under no circumstances should power and logic level wires be bundled together.
•
Be sure poten�ometer tabs do not make contact with the poten�ometer's body. Grounding the
input may cause damage to the drive.
•
This product does not have internal solid state motor overload protec�on. It does not contain
speed-sensi�ve overload protec�on, thermal memory reten�on, or provisions to receive and act
upon signals from remote devices for over temperature protec�on. If motor protec�on is needed in
the end-use product, it needs to be provided by addi�onal equipment in accordance with NEC
standards.
Input Power
Connect the DC input power leads to terminals +BAT (posi�ve) and -BAT (nega�ve).
Connec�ng the DC input power backwards will cause damage to the drive.
Motor
Connect the DC armature leads to terminals A1 and A2. If the motor does not spin in the desired direc�on,
power down the drive and reverse these connec�ons.
Speed Poten�ometer / Analog Signal
Use a 10K ohm, 1/4 W poten�ometer for speed control. Connect the counter-clockwise end of the
poten�ometer to terminal 3, the wiper to terminal 2, and the clockwise end to terminal 1. If the
poten�ometer works inveresly of desired func�onality, (i.e. to increase motor speed, you must turn the
poten�ometer counterclockwise), power off the drive and swap the terminal 1 and 3 connec�ons. To use
an analog signal, connect the common (-) end of the signal to terminal 3 and the reference (+) end of the
signal to terminal 2.

Connections
Enable Switch
Connect an enable switch to terminals 4 and 6. Close the switch to run and open the switch to coast the
motor to a stop. The enable comes into effect regardless of direc�on. If no switch is desired, jumper the
COM and EN terminals. Do not use the Enable func�on for emergency stopping.
Direc�on Switch
Connect a direc�on switch to terminals 5 and 6. Close the switch to run in reverse.
Forward & Reverse Inhibit
Connect a forward inhibit switch to terminals 7 and 8 and a reverse inhibit switch to terminals 9 and 10.
Opening a connec�on regenera�vely brakes the motor to a stop. The inhibits bypass the DECEL trim
pot. The forward inhibit switch has no effect if the motor is running in reverse, and vice versa. If the use
of only one inhibit switch is desired, jumper terminals 7 and 9 and then connect the switch to either the
forward or reverse inhibit input. If no inhibit switches are desired, jumper terminals 7 and 8 and jumper
terminals 9 and 10. Do not use the Inhibit func�ons for emergency stopping.
