Safety Warnings
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE INSTALLING THIS EQUIPMENT
• DO NOT INSTALL, REMOVE, OR REWIRE THIS EQUIPMENT WITH POWER APPLIED. Have a
• qualified electrical technician install, adjust and service this equipment. Follow the Naonal
•Electrical Code and all other applicable electrical and safety codes, including the provisions of the
• Occupaonal Safety and Health Act (OSHA), when installed equipment.
• Circuit potenals are at 115 or 230 VAC above earth ground. Avoid direct contact with the printed
• circuit board or with circuit elements to prevent the risk of serious injury or fatality. Use a
• non-metallic screwdriver for adjusng the calibraon trim pots. Use approved personal protecon
• equipment and insulated tools if working on this drive with power applied.
• Reduce the chance of an electrical fire, shock, or explosion by proper grounding, over-current
• protecon, thermal protecon, and enclosure. Follow sound maintenance procedures.
• Minarik Drives strongly recommends the installaon of a master power switch in the line voltage
•input. The switch contacts should be rated for 250 VAC and 200% of motor nameplate current.
• Removing AC line power is the only acceptable method for emergency stopping. Do not use
• DC injecon braking, decelerang to minimum speed, or coasng to a stop for emergency stopping.
• They may not stop a drive that is malfunconing. Removing AC line power is the only acceptable
•method for emergency stopping.
• Line starng and stopping (applying and removing AC line voltage) is recommended for infrequent
• starng and stopping of a drive only. DC injecon braking, decelerang to minimum speed, or
• coasng to a stop is recommended for frequent starts and stops. Frequent starng and stopping can
•produce high torque. This may cause damage to motors.
• Do not disconnect any of the motor leads from the drive unless power is removed or the drive is
• disabled. Opening any one lead while the drive is running may destroy the drive.
• Under no circumstances should power and logic level wires be bundled together.
• Be sure potenometer tabs do no make contact with the potenometer enclosure. Grounding the
• input will cause damage to the drive.
• Cauon should be taken when operang fan-cooled motors at low speeds because their fans may
• may not move sufficient air to properly cool the motor. Minarik Drives recommends “inverter-duty”
• motors when the speed range is beyond 10:1.
• Drive is designed to work with permanent split capacitor, shaded pole, and standard three phase
• inducon motors. In general, the drive can work with capacitor-start motors, but it is condional
• on the current pull when the capacitor is in effect and how long the applicaon calls for a speed that
•the capacitor will stay in the auxiliary winding. It is recommended to contact the motor manufacturer
• to see if the motor can be ran with a VFD.

Installation
Mounng
• Drive components are sensive to electrostac discharge. Avoid direct contact with the circuit
• board. Hold the drive by the chassis only.
• Protect the drive from dirt, moisture, and accidental contact.
• Provide sufficient room for access to the terminal block and calibraon trim pots.
• Mount the drive away from heat sources. Operate the drive within the specified ambient operang
• temperature range.
• Prevent loose connecons by avoiding excessive vibraon of the drive.
• Mount the drive with its board in either a horizontal or vercal plane. Four 0.20” (5 mm) wide slots
• in the chassis accept #8 pan head screws.
• The heat sink should be earth grounded. Use a star washer beneath the head of at least one of the
• mounng screws to penetrate the anodized heat sink surface and to reach bare metal.
Wiring
Use 18 - 24 AWG wire for logic wiring (COM, DIR, EN, S1, S2, S3).
Use 14 - 16 AWG wire for AC line (L1, L2, N) and motor (U, V, W) wiring.
Shielding Guidelines
As a general rule, Minarik Drives recommends shielding of all conductors. If it is not praccal to shield
power conductors, Minarik Drives recommends shielding all logic-level leads. If shielding of logic-level
leads is not praccal, the user should twist all logic leads with themselves to minimize induced noise.
Refer to the user’s manual for details on earth grounding shielded wires and filtering.
Fusing
Minarik Drives drives require an external line fuse for protecon. Use fast acng fuses rated for 250
VAC or higher and 150% of the maximum line current. Fuse the HOT leg of the AC line when using 115
VAC or both legs when using a 230 VAC line.
Connections
Line Input
Connect the AC line power leads to terminals L1 and N if using 115 VAC line power or to L1 and L2 if using 230 VAC
line power. Minarik Drives recommends the use of a single-throw, double-pole master power switch. The switch
should be rated at a minimum of 250 VAC and 200% of motor current.
Motor
If using a three phase motor, connect the AC motor leads to terminals U, V, and W. If the motor does not
spin in the desired direcon, power down the drive and swap any two of these connecons. If using a single
phase motor, connect the AC motor leads to terminals U and V. Refer to the Operaons secon for
possible wiring setups.
Speed Potenometer or Analog Input Signal
Use a 5K - 20K ohm, 1/4 W potenometer for speed control. Connect the counter-clockwise end of the potenometer
to S1, the wiper to S2, and the clockwise end to S3. If the potenometer works inveresly of desired funconality,
(i.e. to increase motor speed, you must turn the potenometer counterclockwise), power off the drive and swap
the S1 and S3 connecons. The drive may also follow a 0-5 VDC analog signal that is isolated from earth ground. Connect
the signal common to terminal S1 and the signal input to terminal S2. To use a PWM signal, use adder card 200-0441.
Direcon Switch
If a direcon switch is desired, wire a switch to terminals COM and DIR. When the connecon is open, the motor will
run in the forward direcon. When the connecon is closed, the motor will run in reverse. If no direcon switch is
desired, leave this connecon open.
Enable
Open the terminals COM and EN to coast the motor to minimum speed. Close terminals COM and EN to accelerate the
motor to set speed. If no enable switch is desired, jumper terminals COM and EN. Do not use the enable for
emergency stopping.
