Speed potentiometer across A1
(low), B3(high), A4(wiper) OR 

• 

External 2-wire speed reference 
between A1(-) and A4(+) 

• 

Jumper A6 to B3 

• 

E-Stop relay n.o. contact between B8, C9 

• 

E-Stop relay n.o. TDD contact between B9, C9 

• 

Jumper C1 and C2 if no external trip contact 

• 

Jumper C5 and C9 for internal enable contact 

• 

Start contact between C3 and C9 

• 

Jog contact between C4 and C9 

• 

Health relay coil (24V) between B6(+) and C1(-) 

• 

Armature Voltage is the default speed feedback 
mode and does not require a feedback card. 

• 

Four feedback cards are available. Analog Tach,  
encoder, acrylic microtach and glass microtach. 

• 

Select the correct feedback card. Install it on the 
feedback header, shown by the arrow in the figure. 
Ensure all standoffs are securely snapped in place 

• 

On the analog tach card, set switch settings in Units, 
Tens and Hundred, corresponding to tachometer 
output voltage at maximum speed 

• 

DC Analog Tach: G3(+), G4(-). Set switch to DC 

• 

AC Analog Tach: G1, G2. Set switch to AC  

• 

Encoder: E1=0V, E2=+, E3,E4=A, A, E5,E6=B, B 

• 

Microtach: C1=0V, C9=24V, F1=fiberoptic receive

Press M. You are in MENU LEVEL, at DIAGNOSTICS 

Press the M key to get to MENU LEVEL 

Up arrow to get to CONFIGURE DRIVE menu 

Press M and up arrow  to ENABLE drive configuration 
All 7 LEDs blink in Configuration mode. Press E when done 

Enter rated motor armature current 

Toggle between voltage and current modes 

Enter desired current limit setting. Usually 100% 

Change the polarity of the encoder signal 

Speed loop integral gain 

Speed loop proportional gain 

Using the Up & Down arrows, enter rated motor voltage 

Enter rated field current. Skip if field is in Voltage mode 

If in voltage mode: Ratio = (field volts/AC supply)*100 

Example: For a 300V field and 460V supply: Ratio = 300/460*100 = 65%

 

Leave this OFF. Autotune after calibration is complete 

Choose from Armature Volts/Analog Tach/Encoder 

Enter the pulses per rev. rating of the encoder 

Enter the max speed here. Corresponds to 100% speed 

• 

Set CONFIGURE ENABLE to DISABLE.  The drive will display “CALIBRATING”
