3 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Bodine Adjustable Frequency Drive. Bodine Electric Company is
committed to providing total customer satisfaction by producing quality products that are easy
to install and operate. The drive is manufactured with surface mount components incorporating
advanced circuitry and technology.
The drive is a variable speed control housed in a rugged NEMA-4X / IP-65 washdown and
watertight die-cast aluminum enclosure. The drive is designed to operate 208-230V, 50 & 60 Hz
3-phase AC induction gearmotors and motors up to 1HP. The sine wave coded Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) output operates at a carrier frequency of 16 kHz which provides high motor
efficiency and low noise. Adjustable Linear Acceleration and Deceleration are provided, making
the drive suitable for soft-start applications.
Due to its user-friendly design, the Bodine AC drive is easy to install and operate. Tailoring to
specific applications is accomplished with selectable jumpers and trimpots, which eliminate the
computer-like programming required on other drives. However, for most applications no adjustments
are necessary. For more advanced programming, PC based Drive-Link™ software is available.
Main features include adjustable RMS Current Limit and I
2
t Motor Overload Protection.* In
addition, Adjustable Slip Compensation with Static Auto-Tune and Boost provides high torque
and excellent load regulation over a wide speed range. Power Start™ delivers over 200% motor
torque to ensure start-up of high frictional loads. Electronic Inrush Current Limit (EICL™) eliminates
harmful AC line inrush current. A Run/Fault Relay is provided, which can be used to turn equipment
on or off , to signal a warning if the drive is put into the Stop Mode, or if a fault has occurred. The
drive is suitable for machine or variable torque (HVAC) applications. Also, a jumper is provided for
selection of Regenerative or DC Injection Braking.
Standard front panel features include Diagnostic LEDs for “Power On” and “Drive Status”, a
Start/Stop Switch, and a Main Speed Potentiometer. Other features include a Barrier Terminal
Block to facilitate wiring of the AC line and motor, adjustable trimpots (MIN, MAX, ACCEL, DECEL,
COMP, CL, JOG, BOOST), customer selectable jumpers (Line Voltage - dual voltage models
only), Motor Horsepower, Automatic Ride-Through / Manual Start, Motor Frequency, Frequency
Multiplier, Fixed/Adjustable Boost, Regenerative / Injection Braking, “Run” or “Fault” Output Relay
