Calibration
CURRENT LIMIT
The CURRENT LIMIT setting determines the maximum armature current output of the
drive. It is factory set at 120% of rated motor current.
To calibrate CURRENT LIMIT, refer to Figure 13 (page 33), or use the following proce-
dure:
1. With the power disconnected from the drive, connect a DC ammeter in series with
the armature.
2. Set the CURRENT LIMIT 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. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or input signal for maximum speed.
6. Adjust the CURRENT LIMIT trimpot slowly CW until the armature current is 120%
of motor rated current.
7. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or input signal for zero speed.
8. Remove power from the drive.
9. Remove the stall from the motor.
