To satisfy UL requirements for branch circuit short-circuit protection the fuse must be as specified above.
CONTROL SIGNALS Control signals are isolated from the supply, and the unit may be
connected to other isolated instruments.
The unit is designed to clip onto a DIN rail. Avoid vibration and ambient
MECHANICAL temperatures outside –10 and +40C. Protect the unit from pollutants.
Ensure there is an adequate supply of clean cool air to ventilate the unit
and the enclosure it is mounted in. (Dissipation in Watts = 5 x Armature Amps).
Foot mounted motors must be level and secure. Protect motors from
MOTOR ingress of foreign matter during installation. Ensure accurate alignment
of motor shaft with couplings. Do not hammer pulleys or couplings onto
the motor shaft.
Before running motor, complete the following check list. (Warning isolate the supply first).
1) Correct insulation between all motor windings and earth. (Disconnect all drive cables prior to testing).
2) Check inside connection box for foreign objects, damaged terminals etc.
3) Check that brushes are in good condition, correctly seated and free to move in brush boxes.
Check correct action of brush springs.
4) Motor vents must be freed of any obstruction or protective covers prior to running.
Please note this drive does not provide motor over-temperature protection. If required, equip your motor
with an external thermal sensor device that can remove the supply when activated by over-temperature.
Set the I max (Max Current) preset to approximately match the motor
PRESET POT settings armature rating. Fully clockwise is 100% drive model rating.
(340XRi 3.4A, 680XRi 6.8A, 1220XRi 12.2A). Fully anticlockwise is 0%.
E. g. for a 340XRi unit a midway setting is 50% .. 1.7A. More accurate setting requires a suitable current meter in
series with the armature. Set the Stab preset midway. (Clockwise rotation of the stab preset increases gain,
excessive rotation may lead to instability).
Set all the other presets anticlockwise to start off with. (Note LV60 models avf range 10-50V)
The preferred strategy for initial commissioning is in armature voltage feedback mode described as follows. Set
Avf/Tach switch ON (left) for armature voltage feedback, and set Spd x 2 switch OFF (right) for 40V max
feedback. For systems utilising tach feedback, remove the terminal 11 tach connection and temporarily make
wire end safe until later.
Check that the Power lamp lights
POWER ON Close the run contact.
Increase the external speed pot slowly to maximum.
The motor should slowly ramp up to around 40V on the motor armature.
(10V for LV60 models). Now set the correct 100% armature voltage and hence speed by using Spd x 2 switch (ON
(left) for speed X 2) and the Max spd preset (Clockwise to increase). Note, if you change the Spd x 2 switch
position whilst running, the speed will undergo an immediate sttep change.
The up / down ramp presets can now be set between 20 and 1 seconds,
RAMP and MIN SPEED and the Min spd adjusted up to 30%.
(Note, the down ramp becomes the up ramp for a negative speed input).
Model 340XRi / 680XRi / 1220XRi DC drive product manual 3
Speed droop on heavy loads may occur when armature voltage feedback
IR COMP is used. This is compensated for by clockwise rotation of IR comp.
Excessive rotation may lead to instability.
Note, IR comp is not used with tach feedback, leave preset anticlockwise.
TERMINAL LISTING
1 +10V output. 10mA max. (Use a 10K Ohm pot for external speed reference).
2 MIN SPEED. (Bottom end of external pot. 5K Ohms preset to common).
3 IP. Speed input. 0 to +/-10V speed input from pot wiper. 47K internal pull down.
4 OP+/-. +/-10.5V range. Input from T6. Invert with pushbutton input T8 open. Non-invert with pushbutton
input T7 open. 10mA max.
5 COM. Common. (0 Volts)
6 IP+/-. Input to pushbutton controlled +/- signal channel. OP on T4. 50K Ohms impedance for invert mode,
10M input impedance in non-invert mode. The operating mode is controlled by PB+ on T7 and PB- on T8.
Note. This channel can invert input signals in the range +/-10.5V. It can also buffer (i.e. non-invert) signals
in the range 0V to +10.5V. (It cannot buffer negative signals. If you try to buffer a negative signal the
output will be positive).
Note. If using a high resistance external pot for positive signals e.g. greater than 20KOhms, then this
channel can be used to buffer it using the non-invert mode.
7 PB+ Pushbutton input. 47K Ohm pull up to +12V. Connect to T5 COM. When opened it Latches T4 to
bufferer (non-invert) mode for positive T6 input signals, provided T8 PB- is connected to T5 COM.
8 PB- Pushbutton input. 47K Ohm pull up to +12V. Connect to T5 COM. When opened it latches T4 to (invert)
mode for positive and negative T6 input signals.
Note. The PB- function will operate when T7 PB+ is either open, or connected to T5 COM.
See truth table below for T7 and T8 operation. See terminal 6 IP+/- for notes.
PB+ Terminal 7 PB- Terminal 8 Input T6 to output T4 mode
Closed to Common Open circuit Invert (+/-10.5V range)
Closed to Common Closed to Common Remains in prevailing mode.
Powers up in invert mode.
Open circuit Closed to Common Non-invert (0 to +10.5V range)
Open circuit Open circuit Invert (+/-10.5V range)
a) Hence if PB+ Terminal 7 remains open then a switch on PB- Terminal 8 can be used to change modes.
b) If both PB+ Terminal 7 and PB- Terminal 8 remain open then the invert mode is established.
c) If both PB+ Terminal 7 and PB- Terminal 8 are connected to common then the desired mode can be
established by momentarily opening PB+ Terminal 7 for non-invert, or PB- Terminal 8 for invert mode.
The mode remains latched when the common connection is re-established. This is useful for end of travel
reversal. To implement, connect T1 +10V to T6 IP+/- and use the T4 OP+/- as the reference to the
external max speed pot. Then connect the normally closed contacts from microswitches on the track, to
the pushbutton inputs T7 PB+ and T8 PB- such that when the load reaches and opens the microswitch it
toggles the reference in the opposite direction.
9 RUN. Internal 12K pull up to +12V. Open to stop, close to COMMON to run. WARNING. RUN is an electronic
armature current inhibit function. The field output remains energised, and all power terminals ‘live’.
RUN must not be relied on to ensure the machine is stationary during hazardous operations. The
motor FIELD output remains energised with RUN open please beware of overheating the motor when
stopped. (Does not apply to permanent magnet motors). Opening T9 RUN will cause immediate drive
inhibit and hence if the motor is rotating at the time it will coast to zero speed.

13 RLIP. Relay driver input. Accepts 0 to +/- 10.5V signal inputs. The threshold to activate the relay driver is
symmetrical around zero and is set by the RELAY preset between +/- 0.05V and +/-10.5V. When the T13
input exceeds the positive or negative threshold, then the T12 RELAY DRIVER OUTPUT is turned ON. Typical
uses include zero speed detector, zero current detector, stall detector etc..
The input will accept any output provided on other control terminals. 50K Ohm pull down to common.

14 OVLD. Overload. This output goes high (+10.5V) if the current demand exceeds 110% and the stall timer
starts timing. Flywheel diode to COM. See T12 RLOP for details of the output drive capability and
configuration.
Note. OVLD stays high if the overload subsequently results in a stall trip condition.
The stall timer will allow 150% motor current for approximately 30 seconds before tripping. The overload
integrator can tolerate 50% overload x 30 secs = 1500 units. (A 50% overload is 150% full motor current. I.e
1.5 times motor current set on Imax).
Model 340XRi / 680XRi / 1220XRi DC drive product manual 5
15 TRIP. This output goes high (+10.5V) and latches high when the stall timer has timed out (in which case T14
OVLD will also be high) OR if the fan alarm has operated (in which case T14 OVLD will be low). Flywheel
diode to COM. See T12 RLOP for details of the output drive capability and configuration.
WARNING. TRIP is an electronic armature current inhibit function. The field output remains energised, and
all power terminals ‘live’. TRIP must not be relied on to ensure the machine is stationary during hazardous
operations. The motor FIELD output remains energised with TRIP active please beware of overheating the
motor when stopped. (Does not apply to permanent magnet motors).
16 ROP. Ramp output. 0 to +/-10V output for 0 to +/-10V input. 1K Ohm output impedance.
17 DEM. Demand output. 0 to -/+10V output for 0 to +/-100% speed demand. 1K Ohm output impedance.
Represents the inverted total speed demand.
18 SOP. Speed output. 0 to +/-5V output for 0 to +/-100% speed feedback. 1K Ohm output impedance. NOTE:
Prior to LA issue 11 (2011) (see side of terminal block), the output at this terminal was 0 to +/-10V.
19 IOP. Current output. 0 to +5V output for 0 to +100% armature current.
Maximum output +7.5V for +150% current. 1K Ohm output impedance.
20 SPD. Auxiliary speed input. Added to main input. Input impedance 100K Ohm.
0 to +/-10V input for 0 to +/-100% speed demand, direct input fast response.
21 TRQ. Torque input. 100K Ohms pull up to +12V.
0 to +5V input for 0 to +/-100% current demand. This input acts as a clamp on the current demand
produced by the speed loop. Also if the speed loop current demand falls below the input clamp level then
the speed loop has priority. For the clamp to operate, the speed loop current demand must be arranged to
exceed the clamp level by ensuring the speed demand is high enough.
Models 680XRi and 1220XRi use an internal fan for cooling. The Alarm
ALARMS lamp will come ON and the drive will electronically shut down if the
internal fan fails. (T15 TRIP alarm output available).
WARNING. This alarm is an electronic armature current inhibit function. The field output remains energised,
and all power terminals ‘live’ hence it must not be relied on to ensure the machine is stationary during
hazardous operations.. The motor FIELD output remains energised, please beware of overheating the motor
when stopped. (Does not apply to permanent magnet motors).

The +10V ref is inverted by connecting T1 to T6 to produce a -10V ref on T4. The changeover centre zero switch
can then select +10V for forward, -10V for reverse, or centre off for a ramp to zero.
Note. The AVF/tach select switch must be set, and the appropriate speed scale range selected for the max
feedback volts, depending on the source of speed feedback.
If a tachogenerator is used the polarity on T11 must be opposite to the speed reference on T3. Do not use an AC
rectified tachogenerator as they are unsuitable for bi-directional feedback.
Following the procedures outlined will normally be required for the drive system to comply with the European
regulations, some systems may require different measures. Installers must have a level of technical competence
to correctly install.
EN61800-3 specifies 2 alternative operating environments. These are the domestic (1 st environment) and
industrial (2nd environment). There are no limits specified for conducted or radiated emissions in the Industrial
environment, hence it is usual for the filter to be omitted in industrial systems.
Definition of an industrial environment: Includes all establishments other than those directly connected
to a low voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
In order to meet mains conducted emissions limits on this port for the 1 st environment, a separate filter is
required. Please refer to supplier for a suitable filter (EN 61800-3 restricted distribution, domestic environment).

1) The AC connections from the filter to the drive must be less than 0.3m or if longer correctly screened.
2) The AC filter and motor cable screen should connect directly to the metal of the cabinet.
3) Do not run filtered and unfiltered AC supply cables together.
4) The AC input filter has earth leakage currents. RCD devices may need to be set at 5% of rated current.
5) The AC supply filter must have a good earth connection to the enclosure back plane. Take care with painted
metal. Remove paint and ensure good connection.
