32 Calibration
FWD TQ
ATTENTION: Although the FWD TQ trimpot is set to
120% of motor nameplate current rating, continuous operation
beyond that rating may damage the motor.
The FWD TQ setting determines the maximum torque for
accelerating and driving the motor in the forward direction.
It also sets the maximum torque for decelerating the motor
from the reverse direction. FWD TQ is factory set at 120%
of rated motor current.
To recalibrate FWD TQ, refer to the recommended FWD
TQ settings on Figure 8, page 40, or recalibrate using the
following procedure:
1. With the power disconnected from the drive, connect a
DC ammeter in series with the armature.
2. Set the FWD TQ trimpot to minimum (full CCW).
3. Lock the motor armature. Be sure that the motor is
firmly mounted.
4. Connect power to the drive. The motor should remain
stopped.
5. Press FWD .
