Installed By

The Model 890 F-B-R Kit may be 

used with FPM chassis Models 810, 

830, 850, and encased Models 815, 

835, and 855. 

CAUTION 

This manual provides instructions 

for installing the 

Model No. 890 

Electronic F-B-R Kit

 with Bodine 

FPM SCR Speed Controls. Please read the instruction manual 

provided with your control first. It will direct you to this supplement 

when necessary. Follow the instructions in their proper sequence.

The electronic Forward-Brake-Reverse (F-B-R) Board controls the 

motor’s direction of rotation through an isolated low-voltage signal 

from the Model 888 Analog Interface Board. The signal can also 

come from a personal computer or a programmable controller, 

provided that the signal is 

isolated.

 A low power 2-pole, 3-position 

rotary switch can be used in place of the signal. When the direction 

signal is changed, the motor will decelerate, approach 0 speed, 

reverse direction, and then accelerate to the selected speed. This 

protects the motor, gearing, and other drive components from 

damage from high reversing torques.

   WARNING 

   Always disconnect the 115 VAC line power to the control 

before installing the F-B-R Kit.

1.  Select Braking Resistor

–A 100 Ohm 25 Watt resistor is connected 

to the board for use with control Models 810 and 815. For control 

Models 830 and 835, the 100 Ohm resistor should be replaced 

with the 50 Ohm 25 Watt resistor. For control Models 850 and 

855, the 100 Ohm resistor should be replaced with the 25 Ohm 25 

Watt resistor included in the kit. Simply remove the two screws 

and nuts holding the 100 Ohm resistor to the board 

(Figure 1)

 and 

fasten the proper resistor in its place, using the same screws 

and nuts.

        

  For Model 888 Analog Interface Board only.

 

Remove the four white nylon mounting 

screws which fasten down the analog 

board 

(Figure 2),

 and move the board out of 

the way to get to the driver board.
