Low Battery Voltage
- When the DHC-400 detects that the battery/power supply voltage connected
to BAT POS (J2-1) and BAT NEG (J2-2) drops below 10V, the motor outputs are turned off and the
DHC-400 suspends all other operations until the voltage returns to 10V or more. However, the Low
Battery Voltage fault indication will maintain for 3 seconds after voltage returns. Since DC motors
present a large load (from in-rush currents) when turned on, a weak battery or insufficient power
supply may experience a short voltage drop below 10V until the motor begins to move. Therefore,
the Low Battery Voltage indication provides warning of batteries in need of recharge or power
supplies that have insufficient current for the application.
Motor 1 Stall
- A stall condition is detected when no actuator motion is detected while the Motor 1
output is turned on and drawing more than 0.5A of motor current. The fault condition will disable the
Motor 1 output only, and the fault is cleared when the DHC-400 detects a motion greater than 1.5°
in either direction. The fault can be cleared if 1) the command signal commands a Motor 2 operation,
2) manual operation with the adjust buttons results in a motion greater than 1.5°, or 3) a mechanical
manual override forces the 1.5° motion, provided the mechanical motion is monitored by the
feedback pot.
Motor 2 Stall
- A stall is detected when no actuator motion is detected while the Motor 2 output is
turned on and drawing more than 0.5A of motor current. The fault can be cleared in the same
manner as previously described for a Motor 1 Stall.
Double Stall
- If the DHC-400 detects a stall condition in both directions, both motor outputs will be
disabled. The command signal cannot clear this condition; only manual operation or a mechanical
override can clear the fault. Alternatively, the DHC-400 can be powered off and then on to
temporarily clear the fault; however, this practice should be avoided without permanently correcting
the cause of such a fault.
Motor 1 Current Trip
- A current trip fault is detected when the motor current exceeds the current
trip setting (see TRIP SETTING) while the Motor 1 output is turned on. The fault can be cleared in
the same manner as previously described for a Motor 1 Stall. NOTE: Successive attempts with
manual operation using the adjust buttons can exceed the torque limit set by the Trip Setting.
Motor 2 Current Trip
- A current trip fault is detected when the motor current exceeds the current
trip setting (see TRIP SETTING) while the Motor 2 output is turned on. The fault can be cleared in
the same manner as previously described for a Motor 1 Current Trip.
Double Current Trip
- If the DHC-400 detects a current trip fault in both directions, both motor
outputs will be disabled. The fault can be cleared in the same manner as previously described for a
Double Stall.
Battery Over Voltage
- Other inductive loads (such as motors or solenoids) sharing the
battery/power supply connected to BAT POS (J2-1) and BAT NEG (J2-2) can generate short
transient voltages that may cause the supply voltage to exceed 30V. To prevent damage to the
DHC-400 or the actuator motor, the motor outputs are turned off whenever the supply voltage
exceeds 30V. Upon detecting a voltage above 30V, the Battery Over Voltage fault indication will
turn on and will maintain for 3 seconds after voltage returns. If an over voltage condition lasts less
than 1 second, the Fault relay output will not turn off. If the Fault relay output turns off (indicating an
over voltage lasting longer than 1 second), the output will turn back on when the voltage returns to
