DANGER

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE:

Never attempt to service while running. Many parts in this converter operate at line voltage. Use only
electrically insulated tools.

SERVICING INFORMATION:

This equipment should only be serviced by qualified electricians/personnel. Additional instructions are located in the

Fincor Automation Series 5740 Manual
Wyco Tool Company (1-800-233-9926)

go to and download the manual. Before servicing or removing the cover, disconnect the power supply.

www.Fincor.net

Wait 5 minutes before removing the cover to insure that the internal components have had time to de-energize/discharge.

NOTE:

not lit. Also check that the output voltage is below 24 Volts before beginning. If the unit is subjected to an excessive shock
by being dropped or impacted, or if the enclosure is damaged, it should be disconnected and not used until it has been
inspected and repaired by qualified electricians/personnel. Check all cables, plugs, and electrical outlets to be sure that
they are not damaged before connecting equipment.

Some components may remain energized/charged even after being unplugged.

Description, Features & Operation

Description & Features

This converter is intended to power three phase high cycle vibrators using a standard single phase

SELECTCycle

50/60 Hz, 230 volt power source.

Internally, it uses a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) which converts this single phase power to the required three phase
133/200 Hz power required by high cycle vibrators. The drive does this by using the single phase power to charge a DC
bus. It then switches the power on an off very rapidly to simulate the sinusoidal voltage required by high cycle vibrators.

Three different models are available which plug into standard 230 Volt generators:

- Model #SC1420 has a plug suitable for a four prong, turn-locking, 20 Amp, Nema L1420R receptacle.

- Model #SC1430 has a plug suitable for a four prong, turn-locking, 20 Amp, Nema L1430R receptacle.

- Model #Sc620 has a plug suitable for a three prong, turn-locking, 20 Amp, Nema L620R receptacle.

These converters are identical except for the input power plug used. A minimum of a 15 Amp supply is required.

The wiring for the above input plugs is as follows:

Wire Color Plug Terminal Purpose

White X -115 Volts AC
Black Y +115 Volts AC
Green G Ground

Not Used W Not Used

The speed of high cycle vibrators is determined by the frequency of the voltage supplied. This converter will output three
different frequencies 133, 180 and 200 Hertz which corresponds to a vibration speed of 8,000, 10,800 and 12,000 VPM.
This speed is selected with the rotary switch which can also be switched to the “Off” position.

The vibrators plug into two Hubbell (#HBL7410BG) or Leviton (#7420CR), 20 Amp, 4 pole, receptacle outlets. Two plugs
that will fit these receptacles are Pass & Seymour Model #7411SS and Hubbell #7411GBC.

Operation Information

To start up follow the steps below in order:

1. Insure that the equipment is in good safe working order. Check all cables, plugs and electrical outlets to be sure they
are not damaged before proceeding.

2. Insure that the converter rotary switch is in the off position.

3. Insure that the vibrators are turned off.

4. Apply power to the converter.

5. Set converter to the desired speed.

6. Turn vibrators on and off as desired with switches on vibrators.

To shut down follow the steps below in order:

1. Turn off the vibrators with switches on vibrators.

2. Turn rotary switch on the converter to the off position.

3. Unplug converter or turn off the power to the converter.
