Deadband
With Issue 15 control boards, the zero speed deadband can be
altered. This is beyond the scope of this manual but is fully explained on our www site.

4QD series: removing input dead band.
Do not touch the Deadband header unless you understand its purpose.
‡1 Minimum voltage subject to alteration of the undervoltage setting.
‡2 Controllers are factory-set to operate on 24v as this is the most common usage. See page 6.
‡3 Brake output is 'trip' protected: wiring or solenoid faults will switch off the controller.
Additional Information
Although this manual is quite comprehensive, there is a limit to what it is sensible to print on paper. If you
have queries, then you are best advised to consult our www site where there is a large amount of additional
information including many instructions on some of the more arcane applications of this controller
