CONFIGURA TION 199
13.13.4.1 50 % / 100 % rating select
The burden resistors AND a selection jumper are on the po wer board to the right of the 8 way terminal block.
The left hand position of the jumper sets the actual burden resistance to t wice the standard value and hence
reduces the model rating to 50 %.
(Higher burden values give lower model ratings).
Using this with DRIVE PERSONALITY / 680)Iarm BURDEN OHMS provides a 6 - 1 calibration range.
To measure the actual burden resistance use an ohmmeter across the pad marke d I and the right hand end of
the front resistor (R103) 0V. The pad marked I is a square pad adjacent to terminal 48.
The jumper has a third operating mode. If the jumper is parked on one pin, then the actual burden resistance
wil l be high to allow the use of small test motors.

This is used to test small motors without changing the actual burden resistor value.
Note. When using the parked position for small test motors, you may choose to set CONFIGURA TION /
DRIVE PERSON ALITY / 6 80)Iarm BURDEN OHMS to the parked value, or leave it at the prevailing model
rating. If you set it to the parked value in the normal way, then the armature current calibration range of the
PL/X will reflect the parked position for small motors. If you leave it set to the prevailing model rating then
the PL/X parameters will assume the normal full ratings despite the actual current being scaled to the parked
position range for small motors. This may be useful if the configuration involves armature current related
parameters that need testing at full value despite the fact that only a small current is flowing.
E.g. A PLX50 is calibrated for 110 Amps. The jumper is parked, and a 6 Amp motor is used to test the unit
without altering 680)Iarm BURDEN OH MS. A t 1 00 % current, 6 Amps will be flowing in the armature, but
110 Amps will be displayed on 135)ARM CUR A MPS MON.
