SYSTEM START-UP AND ADJUSTMENT
Manual Tension Adjust (Front Panel)

q

  1 .  Apply power to the control system .

q

  2 .  Check that the green LED marked “power” is on .

q

  3 .  Using an AC voltmeter, measure the AC voltage 

at terminals 2 and 3 of terminal block TB1 . This 

voltage should be between 24 VAC and 30 VAC .

q

  4 .  Remove power from the control system and wait 

a pproximately 30 seconds before proceeding to 

the next step .

q

  5 .  Remove the sense magnet lead from terminal 

4 of terminal strip TB1 and insert a DC current 

meter between the lead of the sense magnet and 

terminal 4 of terminal strip TB1 .

Note: 

A DC current meter with the capability of reading 

0 to 500 milliamps should be used . Positive (+) to 

terminal 4 and negative(-) to wire .

q

  6 .  Reapply power to the control system . 

q

  7 .  Place mode selector switch in the brake “off” 

position . Meter should read zero current and 

brake should be free-wheeling .

q

  8 .  Place mode selector switch in the brake “on” or 

“stop” position . Meter should read 270 to 280 

milliamps and brake should be locked-up tight .

q

  9 .  Place mode selector switch in the “run” position 

and set the tension adjust potentiometer to zero 

or full counterclockwise position . Meter should 

read zero output current to the brake .

q

 10 .  Rotate the tension adjust potentiometer from fuIly 

counterclockwise to fuII clockwise slowly noting 

the output current increases from zero to 270 to 

280 milliamps at maximum output .

q

 11 .  This concludes check-out of the control system . 

Remove power and allow approximately 30 

seconds before proceeding to the next step .

q

 12 .  Remove the meter and re-attach the sense 

magnet lead to terminal 4 of terminal strip TB1 

and secure .

q

 13 .  Re-apply power to the control system .

q

 14 .  Adjust the tension potentiometer for the desired 

brake level required for the operation .

Note:

 If start-up and adjustment procedures do not 

produce the desired results, consult the troubleshooting 

section of this manual .

q

 15 .  If a remote mode selector switch is used, repeat 

steps 7 through 13 using the remote mode 

selector switch .

q

 16 .  Attach the cover to the control chassis using the 

two cover screws supplied with the control . 

Remote Tension Adjust

q

  1 .  Apply power to the control system . 

q

  2 .  Check that the green LED marked “power” is on .

q

  3 .  Using an AC voltmeter, measure the AC voltage 

at terminals 2 and 3 of terminal strip TB1 . This 

voltage should be between 24 VAC and 28 VAC .

q

  4 .  Remove power from the control system and wait 

approximately 30 seconds before proceeding to 

the next step .

q

  5 .  Remove the sense magnet lead from terminal 

4 of terminal strip TB1 and insert a DC current 

meter in series with the lead of the sense magnet 

and terminal 4 of terminal strip TB1 .

Note: 

A DC current meter with the capability of reading 

0 to 500 milliamps should be used . Connect the positive 

(+) to terminal 4 and the negative (-) to the sense magnet 

wire .

q

  6 .  Reapply power to the control system .

q

  7 .  Place the mode selector switch in the brake off 

position . The meter should read zero output 

current and the brake should be freewheeling .

q

  8 .  Place the mode selector switch in the brake on or 

“stop” position . The meter should read maximum 

output current of 270 to 280 milliamps to the 

brake . The brake should be locked up tight .

q

  9 .  Place the mode selector switch in the “run” 

mode . Set the front panel tension adjust 

potentiometer to its maximum clockwise position . 

Set the remote tension adjust potentiometer to its 

fully counterclockwise position . The meter should 

read zero output to the brake .

q

 10 .  Rotate the remote tension adjust potentiometer 

from its minimum, fully counterclockwise position, 

slowly to its maximum, fully clockwise position . 

Monitor the meter and observe that the output 

current goes from zero to a maximum of 270 to 

280 milliamps . Leave this potentiometer at its 

maximum setting .

q

 11 .  Rotate the front panel tension adjust 

potentiometer slowly from its fully clockwise, or 

maximum setting, to its fully counterclockwise, 

or minimum setting . Monitor the meter observing 

that the current goes from 270 to 280 milliamps 

to zero at the minimum setting .

q

 12 .  This concludes the check-out of the control 

system . Remove power from the system and wait 

approximately 30 seconds before proceeding to 

the next step .

q

 13 .  Remove the meter from in series with the sense 

magnet and terminal 4 of terminal strip TB1 .
