Derating Data
Table 1 lists the maximum continuous DC output current at a maximum ambient tem-
perature of 40o C (104o F) and an altitude of 5,000 feet (2,000 meters). For ambient
temperatures in excess of this value all powerstack assemblies must be derated by
1.5% per degree C. (.75oF). For altitudes in excess of 5,000 feet (2,000 meters) above
sea level, all power stack assemblies must be derated by 1% for every 250 ft. (100
meters) above 5,000 ft. (2,000 meters).

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 General Unless the unit has been specifically designed for poor environmental conditions, it
must be installed in an area where the following conditions exist:
a) Ambient temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F)
b) Ambient temperature is not less than 10°C (50°F)
c) Altitude above sea level in excess of 5,000 ft. (2,000 meters) must be taken
into account as in Derating Data,Section 1.4.
d) Ambient air is reasonably clean and dry. It must be free of flammable or com-
bustible vapors, steam or corrosive gases.
e) The clearance around the cabinet must be sufficiently large to:
i) Provide full accessibility to the front.
ii) Provide a non-restricted airflow (with a minimum of 1" clearance) from
the intake and exhaust ventilation louvers.
2.2 External Cabling It is most important that the AC supply to the unit is of the correct voltage and current
rating. It should be kept in mind that where the specified drive unit voltages and/or cur-
rents are not available, an interstage transformer will be necessary. All external con-
nections must be made according to the Engineering drawing supplied. All power and
control cable ratings should be referred to the National Electrical Code Handbook.

All control cables should be kept away, as far as possible from high power cables, pref-
erably run in a separate channel.

be operated at this point.

*The TRIP LED should come on after the run command is applied to the drive.
3.2 Initial Operation of the Before running the drive, it will be necessary to carry out the following:
Drive Unit a) Operator’s speed control set to its zero-position. Where motorized potenti-
ometers are used, this can be done by operating the Increase/Decease
speed buttons.

Press the Start pushbutton and slowly adjust the Operator’s Speed control in a clock-
wise direction until the motor starts to turn and accelerate up to the set speed.

tions. this will indicate that the tach voltage polarity is incorrect, and should be rechecked.
Start the drive and set the operator’s speed control to maximum. Adjust the control
“AV” (RV2) on the control card for the correct maximum armature voltage indicated on
the motor nameplate. Once this adjustment has been carried out, the tach connec-
tions can be restored to the drive unit.
3.4 Minimum Speed Set the operator’s Speed Control to zero while the drive unit is on, and adjust the Mini-

3.5 Tach Loss Protection When steps 2.3.5, 2.3.6, and 2.3.7 have been carried out, it will be possible to check
Check this feature as follows:
With the motor running at half speed, remove one of the tach connections from
the drive. The control should now revert to impedance-isolated armature volt-
age feedback and the motor speed should only change marginally (it can either
increase or decrease depending on the setting of “AV”, RV2, with respect to the
Maximum speed adjustment).
3.6 Speed Stability When in operation, the drive unit regulator may be unstable. This becomes evident
Adjustment when the motor speed is unstable or erratic. The Stab control, RV5 on the AA650 con-
trol card, should be adjusted whenever necessary so that the motor speed is smooth
and stable, with very little under or overshoot with speed changes.
3.7 Normal Current Limit With the motor running normally, at maximum speed, adjust the Current Limit control
Adjustment towards minimum until the motor speed starts dropping. Stop the drive unit, and
switch off the AC supply. Disconnect the field supply from the motor, and jam the
shaft to prevent it from turning. Field loss relay protection, FLR must be bypassed in
the 120 vac control logic during this set up.
NOTE: The motor may stop com-
pletely, but this is quite normal. Restore power to the drive, set the speed control to minimum and press the Start
pushbutton. Slowly increase the speed control to maximum.The motor armature cur-
rent will rise to a low value, as indicated by an ammeter and the stall LED. ST will go
off, indicating that there is a 12-second period in which the current limit can be set be-

as previously suggested (see
section 3.1).
The TRIP circuit prevents the motor from drawing high current for excessive periods,
while in the stall condition. The Start/Stop circuit should be re-activated to clear this
condition.
After set up disconnect power, remove the object jamming the shaft, and re-install
field cables and field loss protection circuit.
3.8 Two-stage Current With the two-stage current limit feature, it will be essential that the Burden Resistor be
Limit Adjustment sized to give the desired break away current. Standard drives are supplied with Bur-
(Optional) den Resistors sized for approximately 150% of full load current of the motor, with full
clockwise rotation of the current limit potentiometer.
The normal running current limit point can be set by inserting a resistor of a specified
value in place of the 0 ohm Resistor supplied with the standard card. This resistor is
R214 on the AA650 control card.
For a 200% break away current, the normal running current limit can be set by choos-
ing a resistor from the table below:

200 0

130 560
120 680
100 1000
To set current limit with this option (two stage current limit) follow the proceedure laid
out in section 3.7 above.
After the current limit has been set to the break away current, the drive automatically
adjusts the current limit setting to the normal running limit after the 2S led has turned
on.
IR Compensation Adjustment
With the drive in operation at half speed, slowly adjust the IR compensation control
(RV8) clock-wise until there are signs of instability with quick speed changes from
25% to 75%. Slowly adjust the IR compensation control towards minimum again until
all signs of instability have disappeared. This will be the maximum amount of the IR
compensation that the machine will allow with good stability. It should be kept in mind
that where the machine is new or reconditioned, it may be “tight” initially, and it may be
found necessary to reduce the amount of IR compensation at a later stage to prevent
instability.

3.11 Jog Speed Where this feature is supplied, the Jog pushbutton must be pressed and the Jog
Adustment Speed control on the A650-MB-2 control board must be adjusted for the desired jog
speed.
3.12 General When all adjustments have been carried out, reconnect the series (compound) field
(see p4). It must be ensured that the series field is correctly connected such that it as-
sists the main shunt field of the motor and not oppose it.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING
The three most frequent causes of a drive system or major component malfunction
are:
1. Fuse failure.
2. Discontinuity in a circuit, caused by a broken or loose connection of the wir-
ing.
3. Circuit grounding, caused by faulty or damaged insulation or wiring or a loose
component coming in contact with ground.
If a drive or major component, that has been operating properly, suddenly malfunc-
tions, do not make any adjustments or replace any components without first check-
ing:
1. For blown fuses.
2. All connections for tightness.
3. All wiring for breaks.
4. All wires for faulty or damaged insulation.
If, after making the above checks, trouble is still encountered, refer to the following
trouble shooting table.
