- Page 10 Important: With the main circuit breaker turned OFF. Check the transformer taps at the bottom-right corner of the rear cabinet. 1-Phase Machines: The input voltage cable must be moved to the connector which corresponds to the average voltage measured in the above step. 3-Phase Machines: The input voltage cables labeled 74, 75, and 76 must be moved to the terminal block triple which corresponds to the average voltage measured in the above step.
- Page 11 Transformer T5 supplies 24VAC used to power the main contactor. There are two versions of this transformer for use on a 240 and 400V machines. The 240V transformer has two input connectors located about two inches from the transformer, which allow it to be connected to either 180-220V or 221-240V. Users that have 220V- 240V RMS input power should use the connector labeled 221-240V, while users with 190-220V input power should use the connector labeled 180-220V.
- Page 12 Apply power to the control by pressing the Power-On switch on the front panel. Check the DC Voltage and AC Line Voltage gauges in Diagnostics. The DC Voltage gauge must read between 310 - 360V. The AC Line Voltage must be between 90 and 105 percent. If the voltage is outside these limits, turn off the power and recheck steps 2 and 3.
