B. J3 – Armature Current – Select the J3 position (1.7, 2.5, 3.3, 5, 7.5) closest to the rated
motor current. (Note the maximum output current is set to 150% of the J3 position, which
may be readjusted using the FWD CL and REV CL trimpots.)

C. J4 – Motor Armature Voltage – Select the desired armature voltage by placing J4 in the
proper position, “A90" or “A180.” Note: For 115 volt AC Line input, the armature
voltage must be set to “90.” For 230 input, the armature voltage is normally set for
“180.” However, it is also possible to set the armature voltage to “90" for step-down
operation. (See fig. 2 and table 5.) Note: Jumper J4 is also used if tach-generator
feedback is to be used. (See fig. 2)
If a 7 volt per 1000 RPM tach-generator is used, place jumper J4 into the “T7" position.
For a 50 volt per 1000 RPM tach-generator, place the jumper into the “T50" position.
Note: When using tach-generator feedback, the IR Comp trimpot should be turned to a
minimum setting (full CCW).

motor derating may be required.
