4.5.2 WITH POWER ON
4.5.2.1 With the motor connected and power on, all neon lamps should be illuminated and
no faults should exist.
4.5.2.2 Once start has been initiated the motor must start rotating immediately, it must not
stall. Increase the starting current if necessary by rotating RV2, STEP, clockwise.
4.5.2.3 The RATE could be re-adjusted to extend or decrease the accelerating time. To
speed up the acceleration rate, turn RV1 clockwise. The actual motor accelerating
time depends on the motor current as well as the mechanical load. This setting has
no effect when constant current mode has been selected. Refer to diagram below.
4.5.2.4 The RATE adjusts the time from the STEP setting to 500% of motor full load
current.
4.5.2.5 Some readjustments may be required when the motor is started to suit specific
applications.
