Speed Poten�ometer

Use a 10K ohm, 1/4 W poten�ometer for speed control. Connect the counter-clockwise end of the

poten�ometer to S1, wiper to S2, and the clockwise end to S3. If the poten�ometer works

inversely of desired func�onality, (i.e. to increase motor speed, you must turn the poten�ometer

counterclockwire), power off the drive and swap the S1 and S3 connec�ons.

Analog Input Signal Range

 

     

Instead of using a poten�ometer, the drive may be wired to follow an analog input signal. This input 

signal can be in the form of voltage (0 ± 5, 0 ± 10 VDC) or current (4-20 mA). The built in isola�on 

allows the the input signal to be grounded or ungrounded (floa�ng). Connect the signal common / 

nega�ve (-) to S1 and the signal reference /posi�ve (+) to S2. Refer to the Startup sec�on for related 

jumper se�ngs.

Enable

Short terminals EN and COM to accelerate the motor to set speed. Open the ENABLE terminals to coast

or brake the motor to zero speed. Refer to DIP Switch 3 in the Statup sec�on for jumper se�ngs. If no 

ENABLE switch is desired, wire a jumper between terminals COM and EN.

Do not use the enable for emergency stopping

.

Direc�on

Short terminals DIR and COM to change the direc�on of the motor. If no direc�on switch is desired,

leave this connec�on open.

LOGIC (TOP BOARD)

AC Line Input

Connect the AC line voltage to terminals L1 and L2. If doubler mode is to be used (230 VAC output 

with 115 VAC input), connect the AC line voltage to terminals L1 and L2-DBL. Do not make any

connec�ons to L2-DBL if using a 230 VAC line source.

        

 

 

 

 

Motor

Connect the motor leads to terminals U/A2, V/A1, and W. If the motor does not spin in the desired

direc�on, power down the drive and reverse any two of these three connec�ons.

POWER (BOTTOM BOARD)

Connections

Moun�ng

•  Drive components are sensi�ve to electrosta�c discharge. Avoid direct contact with the circuit

•  

board. Hold the drive by the plate only.

•  Protect the drive from dirt, moisture, and accidental contact.

•  Provide sufficient room for access to the terminals and calibra�on trim pots.

•  Mount the drive away from heat sources.  Operate the drive within the specified surrounding air

•  

opera�ng temperature range.  

•  Prevent loose connec�ons by avoiding excessive vibra�on of the drive.

•  Mount the drive with its board in either a horizontal or ver�cal plane. Six 0.17” (4 mm) holes in the

•  

plate accept #8 pan head screws. If mounted horizontally, the drive must be de-rated to 2.5 amps.

•  The plate should be earth grounded. 

Wiring: 

Use 16 - 18 AWG 75°C wire for AC line (L1, L2, L2-DBL) and motor (U/A2, V/A1, W) wiring. Use 

18 - 24 AWG wire for logic wiring (COM, DIR, EN, S1, S2, S3). Follow NEC standards for wiring.

Tightening torque for power terminal TB502 on the bo�om board is 9 lb-in (1.0 N-m).

Tightening torque for logic terminals TB501 and TB502 on the top board is 1.77 lb-in (0.2 N-m).

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.

Short Circuit Current Ra�ng (SCCR): 

This drive is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not 

more than 5,000 rms Symmetrical Amperes, 115/230 volts maximum.

Branch Circuit Protec�on: 

This product has integral solid state circuit protec�on, which does not

provide branch circuit protec�on. Branch circuit protec�on must be provided in accordance with the

Na�onal Electrical Code and any addi�onal local codes. The UL Lis�ng requires the use of Class J, 

Class CC, or Class T fuses rated at a minimum of 230 VAC. It is recommended to use fuses rated for 

200% of the maximum motor current, unless using the drive in doubler opera�on, in which case the 

fuses should be rated for 400% of maximum motor current. Fuse the HOT leg of the AC line when 

using 115 VAC and both lines when using 230 VAC.

•  

DO NOT INSTALL, REMOVE, OR REWIRE THIS EQUIPMENT WITH POWER APPLIED.

 Have a

  qualified electrical technician install, adjust, and service this equipment. Follow the Na�onal

  Electrical Code and all other applicable electrical and safety codes, including the provisions of the

  Occupa�onal Safety and Health Act (OSHA), when installing equipment.

•  

Circuit poten�als are at 115 or 230 VAC above earth ground

. Avoid direct contact with the printed

  circuit board or with circuit elements to prevent the risk of serious injury or fatality. Use a non-

  metallic screwdriver for adjus�ng the calibra�on trim pots. Use approved personal protec�on

  equipment and insulated tools if working on this drive with power applied.

•  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.

• 

 Minarik Drives strongly recommends the installa�on of a master power switch in the line voltage

  

input.

 The switch contacts should be rated for 250 VAC and 200% of motor nameplate current.

•  

Removing AC line power is the only acceptable method for emergency stopping.

 Do not use

  DC injec�on braking, decelera�ng to minimum speed, or coas�ng to a stop for emergency stopping.

  They may not stop a drive that is malfunc�oning.

•  Line star�ng and stopping (applying and removing AC line voltage) is recommended for infrequent

  star�ng and stopping of a drive only. Regenera�ve 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 no make contact with the poten�ometer’s body. Grounding the

  input will cause damage to the drive.

•  

Only connect to terminal L2-DBL if using a 115 VAC line with a motor rated higher than 120 VAC.

•  Cau�on should be taken when opera�ng fan-cooled motors at low speeds because their fans may

  

may not move sufficient air to properly cool the motor. Minarik Drives recommends “inverter-duty”

  

motors when the speed range is beyond 10:1.

•  

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.
