Mount Open Frame controls within an enclosure. 

 

1.  SELECTING 60 OR 120 

PULSEOPERATION 

 

Always have switch (S1) set to 120 on "master 
control" P.C. card. 

 

2. FUSE SIZE

 

 

To avoid failure of the DC motor, the fuse on this 
control must be resized to match the fuse size listed 
on the motor nameplate.  Do not exceed 10 Amps 
maximum. 

 

 

3.  TO LIMIT THE MAXIMUM 

 

OUTPUT OF CONTROL

 

 

The 

MAX

 Output trimpot must be adjusted to 

prevent the DC motor from being damaged when 
the control is turned up to full power.  Use a 
voltmeter to monitor the output of the control.  Do 
not exceed the voltage shown on the nameplate of 
the motor. 

 

NOTE:  Output to motor must be connected and 

the control set for proper output frequency (120 

pulse) setting.  The Run Jumper must be 

connected as shown on the wiring diagram.

 

 

A. 

Power input should be

 OFF

 or 

disconnected.  Monitor the output of the 
control with a DC voltmeter. 

B. Rotate

 MAIN CONTROL DIAL

 on front 

cover to 0 or its minimum setting. 

C. 

Open cover to allow access to printed 
circuit card. 

D. Using 

CAUTION

, turn power 

ON

 (no output 

should be present). 

E. Rotate 

the 

MAIN CONTROL DIAL

 on front 

cover slowly to its highest setting. 

 

F. Adjust 

the 

MAX

 Output trimpot so that the 

output to the DC motor reaches its 
desired maximum level when the 

MAIN 

CONTROL DIAL

 is turned fully clockwise. 

 

Turning the MAX Output trimpot 

clockwise increases the maximum output 
level. 

 

  4.  REMOTE OFF/ON CONTROL  

 

Note: a Run Jumper has been installed at the 
factory as shown on the enclosed wiring diagram.

 control can be configured 

to operate in one of the following ways. 

 

A.   A low current switch such as a paddle switch 

can replace the factory-installed Run jumper 
"J1."  The "Run Contact" connects to 
terminals 6 and 7. The contact must be able 
to switch 5VDC and 2mA.  The control will 
then run only when the contact is closed.  
Refer to Section A of the OFF/ON CONTROL 
GUIDE.

 

 

B. 

 

Feeder Bowl/Hopper Interlock allows the 

Hopper control to operate only when the Bowl 
is running and the paddle switch contact is 
closed. The 

interlock input

 on terminals 11 

and 12 of TB2 is controlled by the 

interlock 

output

 of a "Parts Sensing Feeder Bowl 

Control" such as an FC-90 

Plus

Plus

Plus

Plus

.  

 

    Remove jumper "J1" of this control from 

terminals 6 and 7.  Connect the Hopper 
Paddle switch to alternate terminals 5 and 6. 
Connect TB2 terminals 11 and 12 of this 
control to the "Parts Sensing Control".  Refer 
to Section B of the OFF/ON CONTROL 
GUIDE. Check specific instructions for the 
"Parts Sensing Control" wiring.   

 

Note: Only use the Bowl/Hopper Interlock with 
a FC-90 and FC-40 Series control.  Two FC-
40 Series controls will not interlock to each 
other since neither one has an 

interlock 

output
