i. KBWM-120, 240 SIMPLIFIED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A. Power Connection – Wire AC line to ter-

minals L1 and L2. Be sure the model number corresponds to the correct input voltage.

B. Permanent Magnet (PM) Motor

Connection (Two-Wire Type) – Wire

the motor armature leads to terminals A(+) and A(-). Be sure the motor voltage corresponds to the control voltage rating and model number.

Note: Although control is specifically designed for PM motors it can also be used for shunt wound motors. (See Section IV D, page. 7.)

C. Ground – Be sure to earth ground the control by attaching a ground wire to the green stud

located between the Bx knockouts.

D. Plug-in Horsepower Resistor®** – The correct Plug-in Horsepower Resistor® must be

installed for optimum performance. (See Section II A, p. 5.)

E. Armature Fuse** – The correct value armature fuse must be installed for maximum pro-

tection. (See Section II C, p. 5.)

F. Trimpot Settings – All trimpots have been set according to Figure 1, page 3 and Section VI, page 8.

G. Jumper J2 is provided on Model KBWM-240 only and is factory set to “180V” position.

For step-down operation (208/230 Volts AC line input and 0-90 Volts DC output), set J2 to the “90V” position. See Figure 3, on page 6.

This control will not operate without installing the proper size Plug-in Horsepower Resistor® and armature fuse

– supplied separately.

ii. SAFETY WARNING! Please read carefully

This product should be installed and serviced by a qualified technician, electrician, or electrical maintenance person familiar with its operation and the hazards involved. Proper installation, which includes wiring, mounting in proper enclosure, fusing or other over current protection, and grounding can reduce the chance of electrical shocks, fires, or explosion in this product or products used with this product, such as electric motors, switches, coils, solenoids, and/or relays. Eye protection must be worn and insulated adjustment tools must be used when working with control under power. This product is constructed of materials (plastics, metals, carbon, silicon, etc.) which may be a potential hazard. Proper shielding, grounding and filtering of this product can reduce the emission of radio frequency interference (RFI) which may adversely affect sensitive electronic equipment. If further information is required on this product, contact the Sales Department. It is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer and individual installer to supply this Safety Warning to the ultimate end user of this product. (SW effective 9/2000).

This control contains electronic Start/Stop circuits that can be used to start and stop the control. However these circuits are never to be used as safety disconnects since they are not fail-safe. Use only the AC line for this purpose.

Be sure to follow all instructions carefully. Fire and/or electrocution can result due to improper use of this product.

*See “G” below.

I. INTRODUCTION

The KBWM™ Vari-Drive™ adjustable speed SCR control for DC motors offers proven reliability in a rugged all-metal NEMA-1/ IP20 enclosure. The Vari-Drives™ are equipped with the ultimate KBMM™ speed control module. They are specifically designed for fractional horsepower permanent magnet (PM) DC motors. Two models are offered. The KBWM-120 is designed for 115 VAC input and is rated 1/100-1/3 HP at 90 VDC. The KBWM-240 is designed for 208/230 VAC input and is rated 1/50 – 3/4 HP @ 180 VDC.

Note: Model

KBWM-240 can also be used on 90 Volt DC motors. See Section IID, on page 6.

KB’s exclusive Plug-in Horsepower Resistor®* automatically presets the drive’s IR Comp. for maximum performance and CL circuits for safe operation on various motors. Although factory calibrated, internal trimpots for MIN, MAX, IR, CL, ACCEL and DECEL can be used to fine-tune the KBWM™ for specific applications. Connections to the control are via a barrier terminal block. By changing the orientation of the front cover, the wiring can be brought in either from the bottom or the top of the control.

Motor failure due to demagnetization is eliminated by the patented ultra-fast Direct-Fed™ current limit circuit. The controls contain AC line and armature* fusing, which provide protection against catastrophic failure. Auto-Inhibit®, a KB exclusive, allows the drive to be turned on and off rapidly using the AC line without damage to the control and/or motor. The internal CL LED is a diagnostic indicator that lights when the motor is overloaded.

A conveniently located front panel lighted rocker switch controls AC line input power to the drive.

*Plug-in Horsepower Resistor® and armature fuse supplied separately.

This product complies with all CE directives pertinent at the time of manufacture. Contact

factory for detailed installation and Declaration of Conformity. Installation of a CE approved RFI filter (KBRF-200A [P/N 9945C] or equivalent) is required. Additional shielded motor cable and/or AC line cables may be required along with a signal isolator (KBSI-240D [P/N 9431] or equivalent).
