Motor Controller Preface Related Instructions The following Parr publications are also included to further your understanding of this instrument and its component parts: Part No. Description 201M Limited Warranty 554M CD for A2110E Controller Scope These instructions cover the installation and operation of Parr Model A2110E Motor Controller as used with Parr Laboratory Reactors and Pressure Vessels.
Motor Controller Safety Information To avoid electrical shock, always: 1. Use a properly grounded electrical outlet of correct voltage and current handling capability. 2. Ensure that the equipment is connected to electrical service according to local national electrical codes. Failure to properly connect may create a fire or shock hazard. 3. For continued protection against possible hazard, replace fuses with same type and rating of fuse. 4. Disconnect from the power supply before maintenance or servicing.
Motor Controller User’s Responsibility All Parr Reactors and Pressure Vessels are designed and manufactured with great care to assure safe operation when used within their prescribed temperature and pressure limits. But… the basic responsibility for safety when using this equipment rests entirely with the user; who must: 1. Select a reactor or pressure vessel that has the capability, pressure rating, corrosion resistance, and design features that are suitable for its intended use.
Motor Controller Installation General Instructions Set the controller near the reactor on a sturdy bench or table where there is convenient access to an electrical outlet capable of carrying the appropriate current. Leave a space of at least twelve inches between the controller and the reactor so that the controller will not be affected by radiant heat. The motor output connector is to be used only with Parr Instrument Company motor assemblies supplied with the appropriate motor power cord.
Motor Controller Switches and Indicators Front View A2110E Motor Controller Main power switch This switch will cut off power to the controller. The Motor Controls consist of an on-off switch and a speed control knob. The speed control knob should be turned down to a minimum setting before turning on the motor switch to minimize electrical surges within the speed control unit. The optional digital display shows the stirring speed from the sensor mounted on the reactor.
Motor Controller Rear View A2110E Motor Controller (115V shown) Protective Fuses and Relays An instrument fuse is mounted on the back panel. This is intended to protect the display module and internal hardware. A hole plug is provided for units that do not have a display module. The motor reset fuse provides overload protection for 0-90VDC motors. This is a re-settable breaker designed to protect the motor if it becomes overloaded.
Motor Controller Access to the Controller Cabinet To open the controller cabinet, unplug the power cord and remove the four screws on the sides of the top panel. Then lift the top panel off, providing full access to all internal components. Caution! Inside of controller cabinet should be accessed by qualified personnel only. Fuses The A2110E Controller has a number of fuses which are intended to be field serviceable. The instrument fuse is only provided if there is a digital display meter installed.
Motor Controller Instructions for the A2110E Motor Controller Motor Control Module (MCM) RPM This optional module can provide a means for continuously monitoring the stirring speed in a Parr reactor. It consists of an optical sensor installed in the overarm drive on the reactor which is then connected to the A2110E Controller. The connecting cable has a plug which fits the marked socket on the back panel of the controller.
Motor Controller Adjustments To Speed Control Board There are five trimpots in the speed control module that can be used to adjust the performance of the motor. These are set at the factory for optimum performance and should not be disturbed unless customized settings are required to match a particular set of operating conditions. The instructions below should be followed carefully if these controls are to be readjusted. The CL, current limiting/torque adjustment is set at the factory to 1.
Motor Controller Communication with PC When a motor controller is present, the A2110E Controller is provided with RS-485 port to connect to a USB port on a PC with optional communication cable. With this arrangement, many parameters can be set and read by the host computer. Quick Start Instructions for Connecting with PC 1. Put the 554M CD into the CD-ROM. 2. Connect the A1925E4 communication cable between the RS-485 port on the back of the A2110E controller and an open USB slot on the PC. 3.
Motor Controller Datalogging and Charting The A2110E Controller comes equipped with a charting and datalogging program. This program cannot be run simultaneously with the control program, but once the user is satisfied that the controller is set, the control program may be closed, allowing the charting and datalogging program to run. The module on the A2110E may still be modified manually at the physical panel during datalogging and charting. 5.
