WTC3293-00400-I

APPLICATION NOTES

Changing the PGAIN to a Fixed Value

Once the system is optimized, connect an 
ohmmeter to TP 5 & 6, without the WTC3243 
installed.  
Measure the PGAIN trimpot value across 
pins TP 5 & 6.
Remove P2.
Load P1 with a resistor of the value measured 
(1206 size). 

Increasing Proportional Gain Range

Change P2 to a 100 k

Ω

 resistor for  

P

MAX

 = 75 A / V.

Remove P2 (in

fi

 nite resistance) for

P

MAX

 = 100 A / V.

Changing the I TERM to a Fixed Value

Once the system is optimized, connect an 
ohmmeter to TP 6 & 7, without the WTC3243 
installed.  
Measure the I TERM trimpot value across 
pins TP 6 & 7.
Remove I2.
Load I1 with a resistor of the value measured 
(1206 size). 

Changing LIM to a Fixed Value

Connect an ohmmeter to TP 1 & 3, without 
the WTC3243 installed.  
Measure the LIMA trimpot value across pins 
TP 1 & 3. 
Remove LA2.  
Load LA1 with a 

fi

 xed value to match the 

trimpot resistance at the proper limit setting 
(1206 size).
Repeat with LB2 and LB1 and TP 4 & 1, 
respectively. 

Changing Onboard Setpoint Trimpot to a 
Fixed Resistance

Remove ST3 and ST4.  Load ST1 and ST2 
such that: 

 Setpoint =   2.5 * ST2

   

 

 

      ST1 + ST2

ST1 + ST2 must be greater than 5 k

Ω

.

Setpoint is in volts.
ST1 and ST2 are in ohms (1206 size).
