Verifying Proper Starter Operation
3-7
Verifying Proper Starter Operation
1. Verify that any fuses removed during the ground check have been reinstalled. If not,
turn power OFF at the Main Power Disconnect switch, reinstall the fuses and then turn
power back ON. Verify that the Machine Room Inspection Mode switch on HC-CTL-2
board is in the INSP position.
2. When power is turned ON, the LCD display on the HC-MPU Main Processor board will
display the message
MOTION CONTROL ENGINEERING, INC, then change to MOTION CON-
TROL M-2000
, and then change to MACHINE ROOM INSPECTION or, if an error condition is
present, will scroll the error message instead. If there is an error condition, it must be
addressed or bypassed with a temporary jumper (see “Troubleshooting Tools” on
page 6-2).
3. LEDs SAF ON, DLK, and INSP should be ON and relays SAFL and SAFS should pick as
indicated by the SAFL and SAFS LEDs. Use the MACHINE ROOM INSPECTION
switches on the HC-CTL-2 Control board to move the car up or down. Press and hold the
ENABLE button and then hold the DIR switch in the UP or DN position.
4. Follow the appropriate instruction below for the type of starter (solid state, Y-Delta or
ATL) installed on the controller.
Solid State Starter The Solid State starter will control the starting current to the motor
(see the Solid State starter manual). Adjust the UP TO SPEED TIMER option, see “UP TO
SPEED TIMER” on page 5-54) to provide a sufficient delay for the pump motor to get up to
speed. Once the pump is at speed, the valves will be activated. If the motor does not spin when a
demand up is present:
• Verify that there are no faults displayed on the HC-MPU board LCD display or the solid
state starter display.
• Verify that relays SAFS and SAFL are picked (with Direction applied).
• If neither relay is picked, check fuse F2 and then verify that the voltage measured
between terminals 1 (1Bus) and 2 (2 Bus) is 120 VAC.
• If relays SAFS and SAFL pick but the motor does not spin, check the thermal overload
contact.
• If relay SAFS does not pick, briefly place a jumper between 2 Bus and the SAFC screw
terminal on the HC-CTL-2 board (bypasses the safety string). If direction is given and
relay SAFS does not pick with the jumper, verify there are no faults.
• If direction is given and relay SAFL does not pick, briefly place a jumper between 2 Bus
and the DLAB screw terminal on the HC-CTL-2 board (DLABR on the HC-CTL-2
board). Jumper 2 Bus to relay GS on the HC-CTL-2 board and (GSR on the HC-CTL-2
board) to ensure they pick. If relay SAFL does not pick with the jumpers, verify there
are no faults.
• Verify that the GS and GSR LEDs are ON. Otherwise, connect 2 bus to GS and GSR termi-
nals.
