Introduction
The Electro-Pack is a preassembled foot
mounted clutch-brake package complete with input and output shafts. In the ceramic version, the conventional friction material has been replaced with ceramic material. In many high cycle rate applications, the ceramic units will last 3-5 times longer than standard units. These units, like the standard Electro-Packs, are ready to be installed in all standard power transmission systems with V-belts and pulleys, chain and sprockets, in line couplings, timing belt drives, and gear trains.
1. Provide a mounting surface for the Electro-Pack that is rigid and flat with the following tolerances.
Electro-Pack Mounting Surface to be Sizes Flat in One Plane Within:
170 .004"
250 .004"
2. Connect the Electro-Pack into the drive system. The input shaft is identified on the unit.
Use care when connecting the units!
Serious problems will occur if the power input is connected to the output shaft.
Dimensions for the input and output shafts are shown on the dimension drawings on page 5.
Electrical Connection
All electrical current must be off when making electrical connections to prevent injury or death which can result from contact with live wires.
The Electro Pack is provided with one conduit connection hole which is threaded for standard 1/2" conduit connectors. Both the clutch and brake lead wires exit through this opening. The EP-170-C is provided with lead wires already routed through the conduit connection hole. The EP-250-C is supplied with terminals that can be accessed by removing the cover.
Simply make the connections with the terminal accessory kit supplied.

Electric offers a full line of AC powered DC output controls to meet the needs of almost every clutch/brake application. The service and installation instructions included with each Warner Electric control show the proper connections.
Maintenance
Wear Pattern: Wear grooves appear on the
armature and magnet surfaces. This is a normal wear condition and does not impair proper functioning of the unit.
Please refer to Figure 1 for typical Electro Pack electrical connections. The lead wires on the EP­170-C are identified with a "C" for clutch and a "B" for brake. Polarity is not important when wiring Electro Pack units.

Burnishing
The ceramic faced friction surfaces of these Electro-Packs are preburnished and performance tested at the factory to ensure consistent "out of box" performance. Therefore, no "wearing-in," or burnishing, is required.
Heat: Excessive heat and high operating temperatures can cause Electro-Pack failure. Units, therefore, should be ventilated as efficiently as possible, especially if the application requires fast, repetitive cycle operation.
Foreign Materials: When units are used near gear boxes or transmissions requiring frequent lubrication, means should be provided to protect the friction surfaces from oil and grease to prevent serious torque loss.
Torque Loss: If a brake or clutch slips or loses torque completely, the initial check should be the input voltage to the magnet as follows:
90-Volt Series: Connect a DC voltmeter with a range of 0-100 or more directly across the magnet terminals. With the power on and the potentiometer turned up, a normal reading is 90 volts, although 85 to 95 is satisfactory. The reading should drop as the potentiometer control is adjusted counterclockwise.
24-Volt Series: Use a DC voltmeter with a range of 0-30 volts or more. A normal reading is approximately 22-26 volts.
6-Volt Series: Use a DC voltmeter of approximately 0-15 volt range. A normal reading is from 5.5 to 6.5 volts.
The above checks normally are sufficient. Further checks may be made as follows: connect a low range ammeter in series with one magnet lead. Correct amperage readings for each coil voltage and unit size are found above. These readings are with the power on and the potentiometer control in the maximum position.
Ohmmeter checks should be made with the power off and the circuit open (to be certain, disconnect

one lead to the magnet). Average resistance

readings are listed in the chart on page 5 for each voltage and unit size. A very high or infinite resistance reading would indicate an open coil.
If the above checks indicate that the proper voltage and current are being supplied to the magnet, mechanical parts should be checked to assure that they are in good operating condition and properly installed.
Repair and Replacement
Ceramic friction face Electro-Packs will provide reliable and consistent performance throughout the exceptionally long life of the friction facings. Their long life results from the exceptional wear resistance of the ceramic material. The low wear rate also results in a longer burnish time to "mate" the friction surfaces. Alignment of the friction surfaces of both clutch and brake are also very critical. Therefore, these units are not field serviceable. All repair work must be done by the Factory where alignment and burnishing can be closely monitored.
nits that eventually wear out can be returned to
U
he factory to be rebuilt. Please note that units
t with damage to "nonwearing" components, such as housings and shafts, are not repairable. The factory will evaluate returns and determine whether they can be rebuilt. All rebuilt units will be preburnished and tested to assure consistent "out of box" torque, so no "wearing in" will be required. Rebuilt ceramic friction faced Electro Packs carry a full Factory Warranty. For more information on rebuilt units, call Warner Electric at 815-389-3771 or contact your Warner Electric distributor.
