FIG. 3 – AC LINE AND

ARMATURE CONNECTION

4. Follow the National Electrical Code and other electrical codes that apply.
5. Connect control in accordance to AC line and armature connection. See fig. 3.
6. Ground (earth). The control should not be connected to ground (earth) since it does not contain a metal

chassis or enclosure. Attempting to ground control will cause catastrophic failure.

7. When using a step-down transformer (230 VAC to 115 VAC) be sure the VA rating of the transformer

is at least 3 times the VA rating of the motor

IV. WIRING.

Warning! Read Safety Warning before attempting to use this control.

Warning! To avoid erratic operation do not bundle AC Line and

motor wires with potentiometer, voltage following, enable,

inhibit or other signal wiring. Use shielded cables on all signal

wiring over 12" (30 cm) – Do not ground shield.

A. AC Line – Connect AC line (115 VAC 50/60 Hz) to terminals L1 and

L2. It is recommended that a line fuse or circuit breaker be installed

with a 10 amp – 125 VAC rating.

B. Motor Armature – Connect motor armature to terminals A+ and A-.

Be sure motor voltage corresponds to control output voltage range

(90 – 130 VDC). It is recommended that a fuse be installed in series

with the armature; choose a fuse rating equal to the motor rating.

C. Field – For Shunt Wound Motors Only. Do not use terminals F+ and F- for any purpose other than to

power the field on a shunt wound motor. Connect motor shunt field to terminals F+ and F- for 90VDC

motors with 100VDC fields. For motors with half voltage fields, 90VDC motors with 50VDC fields,

connect field to terminals F+ and L1. See table 4 for summary of field connections. See figures 4A and

4B for field wiring diagrams.
CAUTION – Shunt-Wound motors may be damaged if field remains powered without motor

rotating for an extended period of time.

D. Main Potentiometer – The control can be operated from a remote potentiometer, or from an isolated

analog voltage for voltage following.
i. Remote Potentiometer – Connect remote potentiometer wires to terminals P1, P2 and P3, so that

the "high" side of the potentiometer connects to P3, the "wiper" to P2 and the "low" side to P1. (See

fig. 5, p. 9.)

ii. Analog Input – An isolated 0-10 VDC analog voltage can also be used to drive the control. Note:

If an isolated signal voltage is not available, an optional signal isolator can be installed (Model KBSI-

240D, P/N 9431). Connect the isolated input voltage to terminal P2 (positive) and P1 (negative).
