Applications 

 

Symptom 

Possible Cause 

Solution or Diagnostic 

No AC power. 
 

Verify incoming power is correct 
voltage and frequency. 
 

Fuses blown. 

Clutch / Brake wires shorted together 
or shorted to ground. 
 

Clutch / Brake wires open 
circuit. 

Disconnect clutch / brake wires at the 
DFC-90 and check for proper clutch / 
brake resistance between the wires. 
 

No clutch / brake 
output. 

Jumper not installed 
between 20 and 21. 

Install jumper between terminals 20 
and 21. 

DFP or DFP-2 sensor not 
wired properly or wires 
shorted. 

Verify DFP or DFP-2 sensor is wired 
properly and follow the calibration 
procedure in section 6.3. 
 
Voltage between terminals 24 and 26 
should be 10 vdc. 
 
Voltage between terminals 25 and 26 
should change as the DFP or DFP-2 
is moved through its travel. 

Dancer not calibrated. 

Follow the calibration procedure in 
section 6.3. 

Clutch / Brake 
output full on or full 
off. 

DFC-90 in 

PID

 mode and 

RUN/STOP switch is not 
wired properly. 

Verify RUN/STOP switch wiring.  

PID

 

mode needs a RUN/STOP switch for 
proper operation. 

RUN/STOP switch not 
connected or not wired 
properly. 

Verify RUN/STOP switch wiring. 

Clutch / Brake 
output does not 
increase during 
stop time. 

STOP MULT

iplier 

potentiometer not set 
properly. 

Turn 

STOP MULT

 potentiometer 

clockwise to increase the stopping 
torque. 

Dancer arm hunting 
during stopping. 

STOP MULT

iplier is being 

used. 

Turn 

STOP MULT

 potentiometer 

counter clockwise to decrease the 
hunting during stopping.  See Stop 
Multiplier note at end of section 6.3. 

Incorrect type of meter. 

Meter should be a current meter with  
1 ma full scale and no more than  
3 kohm resistance. 

Remote meter not 
working. 

Meter wires shorted or 
open. 

Disconnect meter wiring at the DFC-
90 and check for proper meter 
resistance between the wires.
