Introduction and Configuration TM3 Hardware Manual
Chapter 1: TM3 Transformer Module
The TM3 transformer module provides and distributes isolated AC and/or DC bus supply voltages for up to
four Aerotech controllers. It is configured at the factory to provide 28 VAC, 56 VAC, 40 VDC, 80 VDC or a
combination of these voltages with a maximum transformer output power capability of 300 watts.
The TM3 also provides Control Supply outputs for powering the control power inputs of up to four Aerotech
products and a 24 VDC power supply that provides the user with 24 VDC output with a current capacity of up
to 4 A (up to 1 A on TM3s purchased before April 2016). Other features of the TM3 include a soft-start circuit
to limit inrush current and a voltage selector that can be configured for AC input voltages of 100 VAC, 115
VAC, 200 VAC, or 230 VAC.

TM3 Hardware Manual Introduction and Configuration
1.2. Installation and Mounting
Installation and mounting information for the TM3 is provided in the following sections. Additional information
is also provided in component manuals and other supplied drawings.
W A R N I N G : Allow all system components to adjust to room temperature before installing.
Do not install or apply power to system components if there is condensed moisture on
components.
W A R N I N G : All system components must be mounted securely before connecting cables
and applying power.
1.2.1. Handling and Transportation
The Aerotech TM3 transformer module can be easily handled by firmly grasping the TM3 chassis itself. Be
sure to grip the chassis firmly because the finish on the TM3 can be slippery. Do not attempt to hold or
transport the TM3 by grasping onto cables or other hardware. When transporting the TM3 transformer
module, it should be placed into a protective plastic bag and then into a box containing an appropriate
packing material.
1.2.2. Installation
The Aerotech TM3 transformer module must be installed inside a rack on enclosure. Sufficient space (25
mm (1 inch) minimum) must be provided around the TM3 to allow for sufficient air circulation. Fan cooling is
recommended with the airflow directed towards the vents. Allow at least a 100 mm (4 inch) minimum from
the front cover for cable and connector clearance.
1.2.3. Mechanical Specifications
The outline dimensions for the TM3 transformer module are shown in Figure 1-2. Mechanical specifications
for TM3 are listed in Table 1-3.
