WARNING
Improper installation or operation of this control may cause injury to personnel or control failure. The control must be
installed in accordance with local, state, and national safety codes. Make certain that the power supply is disconnected
before attempting to service or remove any components!!! If the power disconnect point is out of sight, lock it in disconnected
position and tag to prevent unexpected application of power. Only a qualified electrician or service personnel should
perform any electrical troubleshooting or maintenance. At no time should circuit continuity be checked by shorting terminals
with a screwdriver or other metal device.

Caution: Do not mount controller where ambient temperature is outside the range of -10° C (15° F) to 45° (115° F).
INSTALLATION
Before attempting to wire the control, make sure all power is disconnected. Recheck code designation to assure proper
voltage is present for the control. Caution should be used in selecting proper size of hook-up wire for current and voltage
drop.
HOOK-UP DIAGRAMS
WARNING:
DO NOT REVERSE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BATTERY LEADS. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE CONTROL.
TO CHANGE MOTOR DIRECTION, INTERCHANGE THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ARMATURE LEADS.
Refer to the wiring diagrams below for proper connection of DC Voltage, Armature, and Speedpot wiring to the control.
CAUTION !! TURN POWER OFF WHILE MAKING CONNECTIONS.
To properly adjust the CURRENT LIMIT setting, a DC ammeter should be placed in series with the armature line. This meter
can be removed after the control is adjusted.

Caution: When reversing a spinning motor, caution must be taken that the resulting current through the armature of
the motor does not exceed the overload ratings of the control, or the demagnetize rating of the motor being reversed

TRIMPOT ADJUSTMENTS
Before the power is applied, the speed potentiometer and trimpots should be preset as follows:
TRIMPOT PRESET
1. Preset speedpot fully CCW, preset Max trimpot CW 1/2 way, preset Current Limit trimpot fully CW, preset Min trimpot
fully CCW, preset Accel trimpot CW 1/2 way, preset I.R. trimpot fully CCW.
DC power can now be applied to the system and the control adjusted as directed below:
TRIMPOT ADJUSTMENT
2. Increase the MIN trimpot in a clockwise direction until just before reaching an output voltage (deadband) or until the
desired minimum speed is reached.
3. Turn the Speedpot fully clockwise and adjust the MAX trimpot until the desired maximum speed is reached.
4. Adjust the ACCEL trimpot to achieve the desired soft start time. CW rotation will increase accel time.
5. Rotate the CURRENT LIMIT trimpot fully CCW. Apply a full load to the motor. While motor is stalled adjust the
CURRENT LIMIT trimpot CW until a desired current setting is obtained. Approximately 125% of rated motor current is
recommended.
6. Set speedpot to approximately 50% and note the motor RPM. Load the motor to normal load condition and adjust I.R.
trimpot CW until motor RPM is equal to unloaded speed.
IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) CORRECTIVE ACTION
Motor doesn’t run • Incorrect or no power
• Speedpot set at zero
• Worn motor brushes
• Current limit set too low
Motor “hunts” • Max trimpot set too high
• I.R. Comp. trimpot set too high
Motor runs at “full speed”
uncontrollable
Motor rotates in wrong direction • Motor armature hooked up backwards Reverse armature + and - leads
Motor stalls under a light load • Current limit trimpot improperly adjusted See “Trimpot Adjustments” - page 3-4
If a newly installed control will not operate, it is likely that a terminal or connection is loose. Check to make sure connections
are secure and correct. If the control is still inoperative, refer to the following chart for reference:
• Loose speedpot connections
• Min. or Max. trimpots not properly adjusted
• Possible control failure
Install proper service
Rotate speedpot fully CW
Replace motor brushes
Adjust current limit trimpot CW
See “Trimpot Adjustments” - page 3-4
See “Trimpot Adjustments” - page 3-4
