4.3 Acceleration Start – The control contains an adjustable acceleration start feature which allows the motor to smoothly accelerate from zero speed to full speed over a time period of 0.2 - 10 seconds. The acceleration trimpot (ACCEL) is factory set for 2 seconds. 4.4 Limitation In Use – The control is designed for use on machine applications. CAUTION! Consult our Sales Department before using this control on constant horsepower applications such as saws and drill presses.
Important Application Note: To avoid erratic operation, do not bundle the AC line and motor wires with wires from signal following, start/stop contacts, or any other signal wires. Also, do not bundle motor wires from multiple controls in the same conduit. Use shielded cables on all signal wiring over 12” (30 cm). The shield should be earth grounded on the control side only. Wire the control in accordance with the National Electrical Code requirements and other local codes that may apply.
6.3 Permanent Magnet (PM) Motor Connection – Wire the motor armature positive lead (+) to Terminal “A+” (Armature Fuse) and the negative lead (-) to Terminal “A-”, as shown in Figure 1, on page 10. On Models KBMM-225 and KBMM-225D, be sure Jumper J2 is set to the corresponding motor voltage, as described in Section 7.2, on page 20. Be sure the correct Plug-In Horsepower Resistor® is installed, as described in Section 9, on page 21. 6.4 Motor Field Connection (Shunt Wound Motors Only) 6.4.
FIGURE 3 – REMOTE MAIN SPEED POTENTIOMETER CONNECTION Terminal "P3" CONN1 EN 6.5 Remote Main Speed Potentiometer Connection – The control is supplied with a Main Speed Potentiometer to control motor speed. Wire the low side of the potentiometer to Terminal “P1”. Wire the wiper of the potentiometer to Terminal “P2”. Wire the high side of the potentiometer to Terminal “P3”. See Figure 3. P2 P3 6.
6.7 Enable Circuit Connection – The control can be started and stopped with an Enable Circuit (close to run, open to stop), as described below. ! WARNING! The Enable Circuit is never to be used as a Safety Disconnect since it is not fail-safe. Use only the AC line for this purpose. 6.7.1 Enable Switch or Contact Wired to the Enable Connector – Using the wired mating connector that is supplied with the control, wire the switch or contact to the Enable connector (CONN1), as shown in Figure 5.

Terminal "T" B T PWR ON Application Notes – 1. The tach-generator input circuit is designed for a 7 Volt or 50 Volt per 1000 RPM DC tachgenerator used with an 1800 RPM motor. 2. Initially set the IR Comp Trimpot fully counterclockwise. Once the tachgenerator is connected, the IR Comp Trimpot may be increased for additional speed stabilization. FIGURE 8 – DC TACH-GENERATOR CONNECTION (7 VOLTS PER 1000 RPM) J2 6.
FIGURE 10 – OTHER DC TACH-GENERATOR CONNECTION B J2 tach-generator. Connect one end of RT to Terminal “T”, connect the other end of RT to the tachgenerator positive lead (+), and connect the negative lead (-) of the tach-generator to Terminal “I2”. See Figure 10. T PWR ON The value of RT (Ω) can be calculated using the following formula: RT = (1.3 X VT X S) - 16000 Ω Where “VT” is the tach-generator voltage (in Volts per 1000 RPM) and “S” is the base speed of the motor (in RPM).
7.2 Motor Voltage and DC Tach-Generator Selection – Jumper J2 is factory set to the “90” position on Model KBMM-125, for 90 Volt DC motors, and set to the “180” position, on Models KBMM-225, 225D, for 180 Volt DC motors. To set Models KBMM-225, 225D for step-down operation (208/230 Volt AC line input and 90 Volt DC output), set Jumper J2 to the “90” position). To set the control for tach-generator connection, set Jumper J2 to the “T” position (all models). See Figure 12.
An AC Line Fuse (supplied separately) must be installed in the AC line Fuse Holder and an Armature Fuse (supplied separately) must be installed in the Armature Fuse Holder, as shown in Figure 1, on page 10. Select the correct fuses, as shown in Table 5. 8.1 AC Line Fuse – The AC Line Fuse protects the control against catastrophic failure. If the AC Line Fuse blows, the control is miswired, the motor is shorted or grounded, or the control is defective.

10.2 The Hi-Pot Tester must have an automatic ramp-up to the test voltage and an automatic ramp-down to zero voltage. Note: If the Hi-Pot Tester does not have automatic ramping, then the hi-pot output must be manually increased to the test voltage and then manually reduced to zero. This procedure must be followed for each machine to be tested. A suggested Hi-Pot Tester is Slaughter Model 2550. CAUTION! Instantaneously applying the hi-pot voltage will cause irreversible damage to the control.
11.2 Deceleration Trimpot (DECEL) – The DECEL Trimpot controls the amount of ramp-down time when the Main Speed Potentiometer is adjusted to a lower speed. The DECEL Trimpot has been factory set to 2 seconds, which is the amount of time it will take for the motor to decelerate from full speed to zero speed. To increase the deceleration time, rotate the DECEL Trimpot clockwise. To decrease the deceleration time, rotate the DECEL Trimpot counterclockwise. See Figure 15.
Warning! If possible, do not adjust trimpots with the main power applied. If adjustments are made with the main power applied, an insulated adjustment tool must be used and safety glasses must be worn. High voltage exists in this control. Electrocution can result if caution is not exercised. Safety Warning, on page 6, must be read and understood before proceeding. ! 11.5 Current Limit Trimpot (CL) – The CL Trimpot sets the current limit (overload), which limits the maximum current (torque) to the motor.
wired in series with the motor armature). If using an AC ammeter wired in the AC line input, the factory Current Limit setting will read 0.75 times the full load rating of the motor. Do not exceed 2 times motor current rating (maximum clockwise position). Note: On cyclical loads, it may be normal for the CL LED to momentarily flash. ! WARNING! Do not leave motor shaft locked for more than 2-3 seconds or motor damage may result. FIGURE 19 – IR TRIMPOT RANGE 11.
Warning! If possible, do not adjust trimpots with the main power applied. If adjustments are made with the main power applied, an insulated adjustment tool must be used and safety glasses must be worn. High voltage exists in this control. Electrocution can result if caution is not exercised. Safety Warning, on page 6, must be read and understood before proceeding. ! 2 Run the motor unloaded at approximately 1/3 speed and record the RPMs.
! WARNING! Do not disconnect and reconnect the motor armature with the AC line applied or catastrophic failure will result. See Section 13.2. 13.2 Armature Switching and Dynamic Braking – If the armature is to be disconnected and reconnected with the AC power applied, wire a relay (or contactor) and a brake resistor (RB) in the armature circuit. The Inhibit Circuit must be simultaneously activated when braking.
13.3 Reversing and Dynamic Braking – The optional patented APRM® provides anti-plug “instant” reversing and solid state dynamic braking. The APRM® is built-in as standard on Models KBCC-R™ and KBPB™. Contact the Sales Department for more information. 14 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES 14.1 Auxiliary Heat Sink (Part No. 9861) – Doubles the horsepower rating of the control. 14.2 Barrier Terminal Accessory Kit (Part No.
14.10 KBEP-240D Electronic Potentiometer (Part No. 9108) – Provides digital type control of motor speed.
