Safety Warnings

•  

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

 Have a

  qualified electrical technician install, adjust and service this equipment. Follow the National

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

  Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), when installing equipment.

•  

Circuit potentials 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 adjusting the calibration trim pots. Use approved personal protection

  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 protection, thermal protection, and enclosure. Follow sound maintenance procedures.

• 

 ACE strongly recommends the installation 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

  dynamic braking, decelerating to minimum speed, or coasting to a stop for emergency stopping.

  They may not stop a drive that is malfunctioning. Removing AC line power is the only acceptable

  method for emergency stopping.

•  Line starting and stopping (applying and removing AC line voltage) is recommended for infrequent

  starting and stopping of a drive only. Dynamic braking, decelerating to minimum speed, or coasting

  to a stop is recommended for frequent starts and stops. Frequent starting 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 destroy the drive.

•  Change jumper settings only when the drive is disconnected from AC line voltage.

•  Under no circumstances should power and logic level wires be bundled together.

•  Be sure potentiometer tabs do no make contact with the potentiometer’s body. Grounding the

  input will cause damage to the drive.

•  This product does not have internal solid state motor overload protection. It does not contain speed-

  

sensitive overload protection, thermal memory retention or provisions to receive and act upon signals

  from remote devices for over temperature protection. If motor overload protection is needed in the

  

end-use product, it needs to be provided by additional equipment in accordance with NEC standards.

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE INSTALLING THIS EQUIPMENT

Short-circuit current rating (SCCR) is the maximum short-circuit current that the speed control

can safely withstand when protected by a specific over-current protective device(s). Adequate

short-circuit current rating is required per NEC.

Installation

Mounting

•  Drive components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Avoid direct contact with the circuit

•  

board. Hold the drive by the chassis or heat sink only.

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

•  Provide sufficient room for access to the terminals and calibration trim pots.

•  Mount the drive away from heat sources.  Operate the drive within the specified ambient operating

•  

temperature range.  

•  Prevent loose connections by avoiding excessive vibration of the drive.

•  Mount the drive with its board in either a horizontal or vertical plane. Eight 0.19” (5 mm) wide slots

•  

in the chassis accept #8 pan head screws. Fasten either the large base or the narrow flange of the

•  

chassis to the subplate.

•  The chassis should be earth grounded. Use a star washer beneath the head of at least one of the

•  

mounting screws to penetrate the chassis surface and to reach bare metal.

Heat Sinking

The MTU400-11.5 requires an additional heat sink when the continuous armature current of either 

motor is above 5 amps or the combined continuous output current is over 6.5 amps. Use ACE heat sink

kit part number HSK-0001. Use a thermally conductive heat sink compound (such as Dow Corning 340®

Heat Sink Compound) between the chassis and the heat sink surface for optimal heat transfer.

Wiring

Use 18 - 24 AWG wire for logic wiring. Use 14 - 16 AWG wire for AC line and motor wiring.

Shielding Guidelines

As a general rule, ACE recommends shielding of all conductors. If it is not practical to shield power

conductors, ACE recommends shielding all logic-level leads. If shielding of logic-level leads is not

practical, 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

ACE drives require an external line fuse for protection. Use fast acting fuses rated for 250 VAC or

higher and 150% of the maximum armature current. Fuse the HOT leg of the AC line when using 115

VAC and both lines when using 230 VAC.

* NOTE:  Do not add fuse to L2

unless input voltage is 230 VAC.

Line Input

Connect the AC line power leads to terminals L1 and L2. ACE recommends the use of

a double-pole, single-throw master power switch. The switch should be rated at a

minimum of 250 VAC and 200% of motor current.

Motors

Connect the DC armature leads of motor A to terminals A+/A and A-/A. If motor A does not

spin in the desired direction, power down the drive and reverse these connections.

Connect the DC armature leads of motor B to terminals A+/B and A-/B. If motor B does not

spin in the desired direction, power down the drive and reverse these connections.

Speed Potentiometers

Use 10K ohm, 1/4 W potentiometers for speed control. Connect the counter-clockwise

end of the potentiometer to S1, the wiper to S2, and the clockwise end to S3. If the

potentiometer works inversely of desired functionality, (i.e. to increase motor speed,

you must turn the potentiometer counterclockwise), power off the drive and swap

the S1 and S3 connections.

Inhibit

Short the INHIBIT terminals to coast the motor to zero speed. Open the INHIBIT

terminals to accelerate the motor to set speed. Twist inhibit wires and seperate them

from power-carrying wires or sources of electrical noise. Use shielded cable if the inhibit

wires are longer than 18 inches (46 cm). If shielded cable is used, ground only one end

of the shield to earth ground. Do not ground both ends of the shield.

Do not use the inhibit for emergency stopping.
