Notes:
1. The BC140 and BC140-FBR can be converted to the higher rating by installing the Auxiliary Heat Sink
(Catalog No. BC143).
2. The BC140 and BC140-FBR must be set for either 115 or 208/230 Volt AC line input by setting the Voltage
Select Switch to the “115” or “230” position, respectfully. When the control is set for “115”, use only 90 –
130 Volt DC rated motors. When the control is set for “230”, use only 180 Volt DC rated motors.
3. Field voltage is 100 Volt DC with 115 Volt AC line input and 200 Volts DC with 230 Volt AC line input.
Maximum Field current is 1.0 Amps DC.
