WARNING: The circuits connected to terminals COM, AX1, AX2, SIG, and +V are NOT isolated from
power circuits by Protecve Separaon in accordance with UL 61800-5-1. Protecve separaon to
protect these circuits against direct contact is to be supplied by the end user.
• 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 installing 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 using proper grounding, over-current
•protecon, thermal protecon, and enclosure. Follow sound maintenance procedures.
• ACE 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
•regenerave 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. Regenerave 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’s body. Grounding the
•input will cause damage to the drive.
• This product does not contain speed sensive overload protecon, thermal memory retenon, or
•provisions to receive and act upon signals from remote devices for over temperature protecon. If
•motor protecon is needed in the end-use product, it needs to be provided by addional equipment
•in accordance with NEC standards.
• This product does not have internal solid state motor overload protecon. It does not contain speed-
•sensive overload protecon, thermal memory retenon, or provisions to receive and act upon
•signals from remote devices for over temperature protecon. If motor protecon is needed in the
•end-use product, it needs to be provided by addional equipment in accordance with NEC standards.

SCCR (Short Circuit Current Rang): MGB400 series drives are suitable for use on a circuit capable of
delivering not more than 5,000 RMS symmetrical amperes, 115/230 volts maximum.
Branch Circuit Protecon: Class J, Class CC, or Class T fuses are to be rated with a minimum of 230 VAC
and a maximum current rang of 40 amps. Circuit breakers are to be rated at a minimum of 230 VAC
with a maximum current rang of 30 amps.
Mounng
• Install the drive in a Polluon Degree 2 environment only.
• 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. 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. Connect the ground to the green screw on the chassis.
Heat Sinking: The MGB400-11 requires an addional heat sink when the connuous armature current
is above 8 amps. Use heat sink kit part number 223-0159. Use a thermally conducve heat sink
compound (such as Dow Corning 340® Heat Sink Compound) between the chassis and the heat sink
surface for opmal heat transfer.
Wiring: 60°C wire was used in UL evaluaon of the power wiring terminals (L1, L2, A1, A2). Use
18 - 24 AWG wire for logic wiring. Use 14 AWG wire for AC line (L1, L2) and motor (A1, A2) wiring.
Shielding Guidelines: As a general rule, it is recommended to shield all conductors. If it is not praccal
to shield power conductors, it is recommended to shield 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.

Speed Potenometer
Use a 10K ohm, 1/4 W potenometer for speed control. Connect the counter-clockwise end of the
potenometer to COM, wiper to SIG, and the clockwise end to +V. If the potenometer works
inveresly of desired funconality, (i.e. to increase motor speed, you must turn the potenometer
counterclockwire), power off the drive and swap the COM and +V connecons. To use an isolated
analog signal instead, connect the signal negave (-) to COM and the signal reference (+) to SIG.
Direcon (AX1)
Short terminals AX1 and COM to change the direcon of The motor. If no direcon switch is desired,
leave this connecon open.
Inhibit / Enable (AX2)
Short terminals AX2 and COM to stop the motor. Refer to jumpers 2 and 3 in the Startup secon to
determine if the switch is normally open or normally closed, and if the motor will regeneravely brake
or coast to a stop. Do not use the inhibit or enable for emergency stopping.
Warning: The circuits connected to terminals AX1, AX2, COM, SIG, and +V are not isolated from the
power circuits by Protecve Separaon in accordance with UL 61800-5-1. Protecve separaon to
protect these circuits against direct contact is to be supplied by the end user.
Line Input
Connect the AC line power leads to terminals L1 and L2, or to a double-pole, single-throw master
power switch (recommended). The switch should be rated at a minimum of 250 VAC and 200% of
motor current.
Motor
Connect the DC armature leads to terminals A1 and A2. If the motor does not spin in the desired
direcon, power down the drive and reverse these connecons.
