Power Input Wiring
All power wires must be brought into the box through the .860"
(21.8mm) hole on the left side, using a suitable ½" (13mm)
electrical fitting. Wire size must conform to local electrical
code requirements for 8 amperes (normally #14 AWG will
meet these requirements).
Set the 115/230 volt selector switch to the proper position.
Connect three-wire 115 or 230 VAC, single phase power to
terminals 1, 2 and 3. Terminal 1 must be well grounded to a
common electrical ground. The AC line power must be sup-
plied from a disconnect box that is either fused or equipped
with circuit breakers.
Output Wiring
If you use a permanent magnet motor in your application,
connect the motor armature wires to terminals 4 and 5 - please
note the polarity of the terminals and your armature wires - if
you reverse the polarity, your motor will run in the opposite
direction. Terminals 6 and 7 are not used with permanent
magnet motors.
If you use a shunt wound motor for your application, connect
the motor armature wires to terminals 4 and 5 - please note the
polarity of the terminals and your armature wires - if you
reverse the polarity, your motor will run in the opposite direc-
tion. Then, connect the motor field wires to terminals 6 and 7
- once again, be sure to observe the polarity of the terminals
and your field wires.
Modification 04A060 must be installed on any RC4000M Reel
Control that is intended for use with Form Factor 1.0 motors
(Bodine Electric has a line of these), as follows:
04A060-1
for1/50, 1/20 & 1/12 HP
04A060-2
for 1/8 HP
04A060-3
for 1/4 HP
In general, all wire should be heavy enough to accept crimped,
push-on style terminals and to withstand the rigors of your
production environment.
Auto Interlock
This feature allows external on-off control of the reel motor in
AUTO mode only. See page 9 for details.
Shut-off Interlock
This feature allows external shut-off control of the reel motor
in both Auto and Manual modes. See page 9 for details.
Relay Outputs
The Operation section describes the procedure for enabling
the High and Low Limit Relays. See page 9 for details.
