Section 3. Installation


Do not install, rewire, or remove this control with input power
! applied. Failure to heed this warning may result in fire, explosion,
or serious injury. Make sure you read and understand the Safety
WARNING!
Precautions on page i before attempting to install this product.

Heat Sinking
Chassis
Models MM23001C and MM23001C-Q require an additional heat sink
when the continuous armature current is above 5 amps. Use heat sink
kit part number 223-0159. All other chassis drives have sufficient heat
sinking in their basic configuration. Use a thermally conductive heat sink
compound (such as Dow Corning® 340 Heat Sink Compound) between
the chassis and the heat sink surface for optimum heat transfer.
NEMA 1
Models MM23101C and MM23201C require an additional heat sink
when the continuous armature current is above 5 amps. Use heat sink
kit part number 223-0174. All other NEMA 1 drives have sufficient heat
sinking in their basic configuration. Use a thermally conductive heat sink
compound (such as Dow Corning® 340 Heat Sink Compound) between
the chassis and the heat sink surface for optimum heat transfer.
NEMA 4X
All NEMA 4X models come with the heat sink already attached.
Therefore, all NEMA 4X drives have sufficient heat sinking in their basic
configuration.

10
 MM23xx1C Series

Mounting
Chassis
• Drive components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Avoid
direct contact with the circuit board. Hold the drive by the chassis
or heat sink only.
• Protect the drive from dirt, moisture, and accidental contact.
• Provide sufficient room for access to the terminals and calibration
trim pots.
• Mount the drive away from heat sources. Operate the drive within
the specified ambient operating temperature range.
• Prevent loose connections by avoiding excessive vibration of the
drive.
• Mount the drive with its board in either a horizontal or vertical
plane. Eight 0.19” (5 mm) wide slots in the chassis accept #8 pan
head screws. Fasten either the large base or the narrow flange of
the chassis to the subplate.
• The chassis should be earth grounded. Use a star washer beneath
the head of at least one of the mounting screws to penetrate the
anodized surface and to reach bare metal.

11
MM23xx1C Series

Speed Adjust Potentiometer


Be sure that the potentiometer tabs do not make contact with the
! potentiometer’s body. Grounding the input will cause damage to
the drive.
WARNING!

If using a remote potentiometer with a chassis drive, mount the speed

adjust potentiometer through a 0.38 in. (10 mm) hole with the hardware
provided (Figure 8). Install the circular insulating disk between the panel
and the 10K ohm speed adjust potentiometer.
Twist the speed adjust potentiometer wire to avoid picking up unwanted
electrical noise. If the speed adjust potentiometer wires are longer than
18 in. (46 cm), use shielded cable. Keep the speed adjust potentiometer
wires separate from power leads (L1, L2, A1, A2, F1, F2).

applied. Failure to heed this warning may result in fire, explosion,
! or serious injury.
WARNING! Circuit potentials are at 115 or 230 VAC above ground. To prevent
the risk of injury or fatality, avoid direct contact with the printed
circuit board or with circuit elements.
Do not disconnect any of the motor leads from the drive unless
power is removed or the drive is disabled. Opening any one
motor lead while the drive is running may destroy the drive.
This product does not have internal solid state motor overload
protection. It does not contain speed-sensitive overload
protection, thermal memory retention or provisions to receive
and act upon signal from remote devices for over temperature
protection. If motor over protection is needed in the end-use
product, it needs to be provided by additional equipment in
accordance with NEC standards.

• Use 18 - 24 AWG wire for logic wiring. Use 14 - 16 AWG wire for
AC line and motor wiring.

15
MM23xx1C Series

Shielding Guidelines


Under no circumstances should power and logic level leads be
! bundled together. Induced voltage can cause unpredictable
behavior in any electronic device, including motor controls.
WARNING!

As a general rule, it is recommended to shield all conductors. If it is not

practical to shield power conductors, it is recommended to shield all
logic-level leads. If shielding of all logic-level leads is not practical, the
user should twist all logic leads with themselves to minimize induced
noise.
It may be necessary to earth ground the shielded cable. If noise is
produced by devices other than the drive, ground the shield at the drive
end. If noise is generated by a device on the drive, ground the shield at
the end away from the drive. Do not ground both ends of the shield.
If the drive continues to pick up noise after grounding the shield, it may
be necessary to add AC line filtering devices, or to mount the drive in a
less noisy environment.
Logic wires from other input devices, such as motion controllers and PLL
velocity controllers, must be separated from power lines in the same
manner as the logic I/O on this drive.

16
 MM23xx1C Series

Line Fusing
Chassis drives should be fused for protection. Use fast acting fuses rated
for 250 VAC or higher and 150% of maximum armature current. Fuse
HOT L1 only when the line voltage is 115 VAC. Fuse both L1 and L2 when
the line voltage is 230 VAC. Table 1 on page 17 lists the recommended
line fuse sizes.

Cased models come with preinstalled fuses. Models MM23101C,

MM23201C, and MM23401C are preinstalled with 15 amp fuses. Models
MM23111C, MM23211C, and MM23411C are preinstalled with 3 amp
fuses.

Preinstalled line fuses are rated for maximum horsepower. If the

horsepower rating of the motor being used is less than the maximum
horsepower rating of the drive, the line fuse may have to be replaced
with a lower rated one. Fuses should be rated for 250 VAC or higher and
approximately 150% of the maximum armature current. Refer to Table 1
on page 17 to install a lower rated fuse.

Refer to Table 2 on page 18 for Short Circuit Current Ratings (SCCR).

Minarik Drives strongly recommends the installation of a master
power switch in the voltage input line, as shown in Figure 9
(page 21). The switch contacts should be rated at a minimum
of 200% of motor nameplate current and 250 volts. This power
switch is provided with NEMA 1 and NEMA 4X models.

Quick-Disconnect Terminal Block (-Q Drives Only)

The quick-disconnect terminal block, found only on -Q drives, is

composed of a 9-pin header block and 9-screw terminal plug (Figure 9 on
page 20). Refer to Figure 12 on page 26 for connection diagram. To use
the quick-disconnect terminal block:
1. Carefully pull terminal plug from header block.
2. With a small flat-head screwdriver, turn terminal plug screw
counterclockwise to open wire clamp.
3. Insert stripped wire into the large opening in front of the plug.
4. Turn the terminal plug screw clockwise to clamp the wire.
5. Repeat steps 2–4 for each terminal until all connections are
made. Make no connections to F1 and F2 if using a permanent
magnet motor.
6. Insert plug into header until securely fastened.

Power Input
For chassis models, connect the AC line power leads to terminals L1 and
L2. Minarik Drives recommends the use of a single-throw, double-pole
master power switch. The switch should be rated at a minimum of 250
volts and 200% of motor current. Refer to Figure 11 on page 25.
For enclosed models, connect the AC line power leads to screw terminals
1 (L1) and 2 (L2 115) if using a 115 VAC line or to terminals 1 (L1) and 3 (L2
230) if using a 230 VAC line. Refer to Figure 13 on page 27.
Motor
Drives supply motor armature voltage from A1 and A2 terminals. It is
assumed throughout this manual that, when A1 is positive with respect
to A2, the motor will rotate clockwise (CW) while looking at the output
shaft protruding from the front of the motor. If the motor does not
spin in the desired direction, remove power and reverse the A1 and A2
connections.
For chassis models, connect a DC motor to terminals A1 and A2 as shown
in Figure 11 on page 25. For enclosed models, connect a DC motor to
terminals 5 (A1) and 4 (A2) as shown in Figure 13 on page 27. Ensure that
the motor voltage rating is consistent with the drive’s output voltage.

For chassis models, use a 10K ohm, 1/4 W potentiometer for speed
control. Connect the counter-clockwise end of the potentiometer to S1,
the wiper to S2, and the clockwise end to S3. If the potentiometer works
inversely of the desired functionality (e.g. to increase motor speed you
must turn the potentiometer counterclockwise), power off the drive and
swap the S1 and S3 connections. Refer to Figure 11 on page 25.
For enclosed models, the speed adjust potentiometer is factory installed
and prewired.

Meter (MM230x1C-H models only)

To supply power to external devices, the METER header block can supply
an non-isolated unregulated +9 VDC (5mA) signal when the motor and
the power supply of the drive are fully loaded. More current is available
with less motor loading. METER can supply an unregulated +15V (10 mA)
signal in typical applications.

MM23xx1C Series

Analog Input Signal

Instead of using a speed adjust potentiometer, the drive may be wired to
follow an analog input voltage signal that is isolated from earth ground
(Figure 10). Connect the signal common (–) to S1. Connect the signal
reference (+) to S2. Make no connection to S3. A potentiometer can
be used to scale the analog input voltage. An interface device, such as
Minarik Drives model PCM4, may be used to scale and isolate an analog
input voltage.
With 115 VAC line voltage, an analog input voltage range of 0–1.4 VDC is
required to produce an armature voltage range of 0–90 VDC. With 230
VAC line voltage, an analog input voltage range of 0–2.8 VDC is required
to produce an armature voltage range of 0–180 VDC.

set to their correct position. If the switches are improperly set
to a lower voltage position, the motor will not run at full voltage
and may cause damage to the transformer. If the switches are
improperly set to a higher voltage position, the motor will
overspeed, which may cause motor damage, or result in bodily
injury or loss of life.
Dangerous voltages exist on the drive when it is powered. BE
ALERT. High voltages can cause serious or fatal injury. For your
safety, use personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating
this drive.
If the motor or drive does not perform as described, disconnect
the AC line voltage immediately. Refer to the Troubleshooting
section, page 52, for further assistance.

 !
WARNING!
Do not change the FORWARD / REVERSE switch while the motor
is running. The motor must come to a complete stop before
reversing. Changing motor direction before allowing the motor to
completely stop will cause excessively high current to flow in the
armature circuit, and will damage the drive and/or motor.

Starting and Stopping Methods

 !
WARNING!
Dynamic braking, coasting to a stop, or decelerating to minimum
speed is recommended for frequent starts and stops. Do not use
any of these methods for emergency stopping. They may not stop
a drive that is malfunctioning. Removing AC line power (both
lines) is the only acceptable method for emergency stopping.
For this reason, Minarik Drives strongly recommends installing an
emergency stop switch on both AC line inputs (see Figure 11 on
page 25).
Frequent starting and stopping can produce high torque. This
may cause damage to motors, especially gearmotors that are not
properly sized for the application.

Automatic Restart Upon Power Restoration

All drives automatically run to set speed when power is applied and the
inhibit is not active.

Line Starting and Stopping

Line starting and stopping (applying and removing AC line voltage) is
recommended for infrequent starting and stopping of a drive only. When
AC line voltage is applied to the drive, the motor accelerates to the speed
set by the speed adjust potentiometer or analog signal. When AC line
voltage is removed, the motor coasts to a stop.

32
 MM23xx1C Series

Dynamic Braking

 !
WARNING!
Wait for the motor to completely stop before switching back to
RUN. This will prevent high armature currents from damaging
the motor or drive.

Dynamic braking may be used to rapidly stop a motor (Figure 15 on page

34). For the RUN/BRAKE switch, use a two pole, two position switch
rated for at least the armature voltage rating and 150% of the armature
current rating. For the dynamic brake resistor, use a 40 watt minimum,
high power, wirewound resistor.
Sizing the dynamic brake resistor depends on load inertia, motor voltage,
and braking time. Use a lower-value, higher-wattage dynamic brake
resistor to stop a motor more rapidly. Refer to Table 4 on page 34 for
recommended dynamic brake resistor sizes.
Note: Models MM23201C and MM23211C incorporate dynamic braking
in their designs.

For motors rated 1/17 horsepower and lower, a brake resistor is not
necessary since the armature resistance is high enough to stop the
motor without demagnetization. Replace the dynamic brake with
12-gauge wire.

Twist inhibit wires and separate them from power-carrying wires or
sources of electrical noise. Use shielded cable if the inhibit wires are
longer than 18 inches (46 cm). If shielded cable is used, ground only one
end of the shield to earth ground. Do not ground both ends of the shield.

Decelerating to Minimum Speed

The switch shown in Figure 17 may be used to decelerate a motor to
a minimum speed. Closing the switch between S1 and S2 decelerates
the motor from set speed to a minimum speed determined by the
MIN SPD trim pot setting. If the MIN SPD trim pot is set full CCW, the
motor decelerates to zero speed when the switch between S1 and S2 is
closed. The DECEL trim pot setting determines the rate at which the drive
decelerates. By opening the switch, the motor accelerates to set speed at
a rate determined by the ACCEL trim pot setting.

adjusting the trim pots. If the trim pots must be adjusted with
WARNING!
power applied, use insulated tools and the appropriate personal
protection equipment. BE ALERT. High voltages can cause serious
or fatal injury.

MM23xx1C series drives have user-adjustable trim pots. Each drive is

factory calibrated to its maximum current rating. Readjust the calibration
trim pot settings to accommodate lower current rated motors.
All adjustments increase with CW rotation, and decrease with CCW
rotation. Use a non-metallic screwdriver for calibration. Each trim pot is
identified on the printed circuit board.

37
MM23xx1C Series

Minimum Speed (MIN SPD)

The MIN SPD setting determines the minimum motor speed when the
speed adjust potentiometer or input voltage signal is set for minimum
speed. It is factory set for zero speed.
To calibrate the MIN SPD:
1. Set the MIN SPD trim pot full CCW.
2. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or input voltage signal for
minimum speed.
3. Adjust MIN SPD until the desired minimum speed is reached or
is just at the threshold of rotation.

Maximum Speed (MAX SPD)

The MAX SPD setting determines the maximum motor speed when the
speed adjust potentiometer or input voltage signal is set for maximum
speed.
To calibrate MAX SPD:
1. Set the MAX SPD trim pot full CCW.
2. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or input voltage signal for
maximum speed.
3. Adjust MAX SPD until the desired maximum speed is reached.

Note: Check the MIN SPD and MAX SPD adjustments after recalibrating
to verify that the motor runs at the desired minimum and maximum
speed.

38
 MM23xx1C Series

Torque (TORQUE)


TORQUE should be set to 150% of motor nameplate current
! rating. Continuous operation beyond this rating may damage the
motor. If you intend to operate beyond the rating, contact your
WARNING!
Minarik Drives representative for assistance.

The TORQUE setting determines the maximum torque for accelerating

and driving the motor. To calibrate TORQUE, refer to the recommended
TORQUE settings in Figure 18 on page 41 or use the following procedure:
1. With the power disconnected from the drive, connect a DC
ammeter in series with the armature.
2. Set the TORQUE trim pot to minimum (full CCW).
3. Set the speed adjust potentiometer full CW or input voltage
signal to maximum speed.
4. Carefully lock the motor armature. Be sure that the motor is
firmly mounted.
5. Apply line power. The motor should be stopped.
6. Slowly adjust the TORQUE trim pot CW until the armature
current is 150% of motor rated armature current.
7. Turn the speed adjust potentiometer CCW or decrease the
input voltage signal.
8. Remove line power.
9. Remove the stall from the motor.
10. Remove the ammeter in series with the motor armature if it is
no longer needed.

39
MM23xx1C Series

IR Compensation (IR COMP)

The IR COMP setting determines the degree to which motor speed is held
constant as the motor load changes.
Use the following procedure to recalibrate the IR COMP setting:
1. Set the IR COMP trim pot to minimum (full CCW).
2. Increase the speed adjust potentiometer or input voltage signal
until the motor runs at midspeed without load (for example,
900 RPM for an 1800 RPM motor). A handheld tachometer may
be used to measure motor speed.
3. Load the motor armature to its full load armature current rating.
The motor should slow down.
4. While keeping the load on the motor, rotate the IR COMP trim
pot until the motor runs at the speed measured in step 2. If
the motor oscillates (overcompensation), the IR COMP trim pot
may be set too high (CW). Turn the IR COMP trim pot CCW to
stabilize the motor.
5. Unload the motor.
See Figure 18 on page 41 for recommended IR COMP settings.

Acceleration (ACCEL)
The ACCEL setting determines the time the motor takes to ramp to a
higher speed. See Specifications on page 1 for approximate acceleration
times. ACCEL is factory set for the shortest acceleration time (full CCW).
To set the acceleration time:
1. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or input voltage signal for
minimum speed. The motor should run at minimum speed.
2. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or input voltage signal for
maximum speed. Measure the time it takes the motor to go
from minimum to maximum speed.
3. If the time measured in step 2 is not the desired acceleration
time, turn the ACCEL trim pot CW for a longer acceleration time
or CCW for a shorter acceleration time. Repeat steps 1 through
2 until the acceleration time is correct.

Deceleration (DECEL)
The DECEL setting determines the time the motor takes to ramp to a
lower speed. See Specifications on page 1 for approximate deceleration
times. DECEL is factory set for the shortest deceleration time (full CCW).
To set the deceleration time:
1. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or input voltage signal for
maximum speed. The motor should run at maximum speed.
2. Set the speed adjust potentiometer or input voltage signal for
minimum speed. Measure the time it takes the motor to go
from maximum to minimum speed.
3. If the time measured in step 2 is not the desired deceleration
time, turn the DECEL trim pot CW for a longer deceleration time
or CCW for a shorter deceleration time. Repeat steps 1 through

Unconditional Warranty
A. Warranty
American Control Electronics warrants that its products will be free from defects in workmanship
and material for twelve (12) months or 3000 hours, whichever comes first, from date of
manufacture thereof. Within this warranty period, American Control Electronics will repair or
replace, at its sole discretion, such products that are returned to American Control Electronics,
14300 De La Tour Drive, South Beloit, Illinois 61080 USA.
This warranty applies only to standard catalog products, and does not apply to specials. Any
returns of special controls will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. American Control Electronics
is not responsible for removal, installation, or any other incidental expenses incurred in shipping
the product to and from the repair point.
B. Disclaimer
The provisions of Paragraph A are American Control Electronics’s sole obligation and exclude all
other warranties of merchantability for use, expressed or implied. American Control Electronics
further disclaims any responsibility whatsoever to the customer or to any other person for
injury to the person or damage or loss of property of value caused by any product that has been
subject to misuse, negligence, or accident, or misapplied or modified by unauthorized persons
or improperly installed.

C. Limitations of Liability
In the event of any claim for breach of any of Americn Control Electronics’s obligations, whether
expressed or implied, and particularly of any other claim or breach of warranty contained in
Paragraph A, or of any other warranties, expressed or implied, or claim of liability that might,
despite Paragraph B, be decided against American Control Electronics by lawful authority,
American Control Electronics shall under no circumstances be liable for any consequential
damages, losses, or expenses arising in connection with the use of, or inability to use, American
Control Electronics’s product for any purpose whatsoever.
An adjustment made under warranty does not void the warranty, nor does it imply an extension
of the original 12-month warranty period. Products serviced and/or parts replaced on a
no-charge basis during the warranty period carry the unexpired portion of the original warranty
only.
If for any reason any of the foregoing provisions shall be ineffective, American Control Electronics’s
liability for damages arising out of its manufacture or sale of equipment, or use thereof, whether
such liability is based on warranty, contract, negligence, strict liability in tort, or otherwise, shall
not in any event exceed the full purchase price of such equipment.
Any action against American Control Electronics based upon any liability or obligation arising
hereunder or under any law applicable to the sale of equipment or the use thereof, must be
commenced within one year after the cause of such action arises.
