Step 2. Choose a Suitable Location
The installation site directly impacts the functionality and lifespan of the
control.
• Avoid areas where surrounding air temperature exceeds 40°C (direct
sunlight or near heating equipment or inside a panel without a cooling fan.
• Avoid locations where the front panel dial and switch may be bumped and
accidentally turned on/off or damaged.
• Avoid environments with corrosive gas.
• Avoid locations near radioactive matter or flammable material.
• Avoid locations near equipment that generate electromagnetic interference
(soldering or power machinery).
• Avoid mounting the control to a surface that vibrates.
Step 3 – Mount the Control
Prepare the mounting surface by
drilling four holes with their centers
located as shown in Figure 3. If #10
screws are to be used for mounting,
then use a #6 (.204) clearance drill.
If #10- 32 machine screws are to be
used for mounting, then use a #20
(.161) tap drill. After the mounting
surface has been prepared,
mount the control with screws
through the four mounting brackets
(already attached to back of control
enclosure).

CONNECTION
CAUTION
• The PCB inside the control enclosure is vulnerable to static electrical
charges. Avoid contact with the PCB.
• Choose an appropriate power source with correct voltage settings for the
specification of the control.
• Do not use a separate device between control and motor to switch motor
ON or OFF during operation.
Step 4 – Preliminary Setup
Figure 4 - Inside layout of control.
AC LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH – If the control is to be operated from a
230 VAC power supply, slide the selector switch from “115V” to “230V.”
AC LINE VOLTAGE JUMPER – If the control is to be operated from a two-phase
230 VAC power supply, where both lines are hot (typically in the USA), then
remove the jumper wire between the spades labeled “BYPS1” and “BYPS2.”
DIP SWITCHES FOR MOTOR MATCHING – Figure 4 shows a bank of 8 DIP
switches, factory-set with 4, 5, 6, and 7 ON. Set switches 1-7 to match the
type, voltage, armature speed (not output speed of geared motor), current,
and horsepower ratings on the Bodine motor nameplate per Table 3.
For non-Bodine motors, or Bodine motors not listed in Table 3, identify the motor
in Table 3 with the closest voltage, armature speed, current, and horsepower
ratings and use those DIP switch settings. Leave switch 8 OFF for 0-90 VDC
output or switch it ON for 0-180 VDC output (with 230 VAC input only).

1. Armature speeds are based on 130VDC (or 180VDC). For armature speed of a geared motor, multiply the output speed at the drive-
shaft by the gear ratio. Note that “PWM rated” motors, or motors rated at 130 VDC, will run about 69% slower with an unfiltered
control because of the 90VDC max output voltage.
2. If the user desires to install their own armature fuse on the control output to protect the motor from continuous overloads, base
fuse ratings on the motor current rating in this column. The fuse should be sized at 1.2 times the current rating in this column.
3. Peak current available with TORQ pot in fully CW position. This current may exceed the continuous rating of the motor, in which
case it is intended for intermittent overload conditions only. It is the user’s responsibility to make sure the application does not
exceeds continuous rating of the motor or gearing.
4. Use this column for sizing a line fuse on the control input. The fuse should be sized at 1.2 times the current rating in this column.
5. These motors are capable of exceeding the continuous output rating of the control. The loading on these motors must be limited
to keep their continuous current draw at 2.1A or less.
6. The REG potentiometer must be turned fully CCW (off) for high-speed type 24A4BEPM motor.
7. The load/current of our 42A5 “SCR Rated”, 90V, 2500 rpm gearmotors may not exceed 2.1 amps (max) rating of control.

10 www.bodine-electric.com
AC LINE FUSES – Model 1865 has a 12A fuse already installed in both the “F1”
and “F2” fuse holders. A fuse is only really necessary in “F2” if a two-phase
230 VAC power supply (with two hot sides) is used.
Step 5 – Connect the Motor
A cord should be used for the motor connection in order to properly seal
the liquid tight fitting. The fitting will accept cord diameters between 0.17”
and 0.47” diameter. The length of the cord should be kept short for minimum
voltage drop and only copper wire with 60O C rated insulation should be used.
Loosen the nut from the liquid tight fitting and insert the cord through the
fitting and into the enclosure. Connect the two motor power leads to “A1” and
“A2” on the terminal block inside the control. The terminal block will accept
wire sizes from 18 to 14 gauge. The terminal block screws should be tightened
to 6 lb-in (0.678 Nm). Connect the motor frame ground to “CHASSIS GROUND”
on the terminal block. Refer to the connection diagrams for Bodine DC motors
in Figures 5 and 6. If the motor doesn’t rotate in the desired direction as
connected, switch the two motor wires. Note that these connection diagrams
apply to Bodine motors only. When the connections are done, tighten the nut

Figure 6 – Connection diagram for Bodine 180V DC motors.
Step 6 – Connect AC Line Cord
A cord should be used for the AC power connection in order to properly seal
against water through the liquid tight fitting. See Step 5 for cord and wire
specifications. Connect the hot side of the line to “L1” and the neutral side to
“L2.” Connect earth ground to the terminal labeled “CHASSIS GROUND.” The
barrier terminal block screws should be tightened to 6 lb-in (0.678 Nm).
Step 7 – Close and Seal the Enclosure
Close the hinged cover and tighten the four screws, one at each corner.
Step 8 - Connect to AC Power
After all other connections are made and the control is closed, connect the
AC line cord to the AC power supply.

OPERATION
Step 9 – Check System Before Starting
WARNING
• Recheck all connections.
• Do not open the cover of the inverter when the power is ON to avoid injury
caused by electrical shock.
• Do not attempt to wire circuitry while power is on.
CAUTION
• Recheck for proper setting of AC Line Voltage selector switch.
• Do not attempt to make or break connections between motor and control
when the power supply is turned on, or the control may be damaged due
to a surge peak.
• Check that motor is securely mounted.
• Test motor unloaded first to verify proper setup.
• Check all rotating members. Be sure keys, pulleys, etc. are securely
fastened and safety guards are in place.
• Check for proper mounting and alignment of products, and verify safe
loading on shafts and gears.
• The control can be easily operated from a low-speed to a high-speed.
Reconfirm the operating speed range of the motor and the machinery you
are controlling.

www.bodine-electric.com 13
Step 10 – Operate the Control
The Model 1865 control is operated using the switch and speed dial on the
front panel of the control. See Figure 8 for panel layout.
1) Turn the AC power ON using the power toggle switch. The power indicator
lamp will illuminate.
2) Adjust speed by turning the speed adjustment dial. Turning the dial fully
CCW will produce the minimum output speed, as set by the MIN trim pot
inside the control. Turning the pot fully CW will produce the maximum output
speed, as set by DIP switch #8 and the MAX trim pot inside the control.
3) To stop the motor, turn the AC power off using the power toggle switch.
4) If the motor does not start promptly and run smoothly, refer to
the“TROUBLESHOOTING” section.

Step 11 – Adjust Trim Pots (Optional)
Model 1865 has trim pots which have been factory adjusted for most
applications. Some applications may require readjustment of the trim pots in
order to tailor the control to exact requirements. The control will have to be
opened in order to adjust the trim pots.
WARNING
Do not adjust trim pots with main power on if possible. If adjustments are
made with power on, insulated adjustment tools must be used and safety
glasses must be worn. High voltage exists in this control. Electrocution and/
or fire hazard can result if caution is not exercised.
Figure 9 - Location of trim pots inside enclosure.
MIN: Minimum Speed Limit
The MIN trim pot can be adjusted if it is
desired for the motor to run at a minimum
speed higher than 0 rpm with the main
speed dial set at “0.” The maximum setting
(fully clockwise) produces an output voltage
of about 50 VDC. Note that increasing the
minimum speed will also increase the
maximum speed, so the MAX trim pot may
need to be adjusted.
0 VDC 50 VDC
MIN.
Figure 10 – Factory setting
of MIN trim pot.

www.bodine-electric.com 15
MAX: Maximum Speed Limit
The MAX trim pot can be adjusted if it is
desired for the motor to run at a maximum
speed lower than the motor rating with the
main speed dial set at “100.” The minimum
setting (fully counterclockwise) produces
an output voltage of about 60% of the full
output (depends on whether control is set
up for 90V or 180V maximum output).
ACC: Acceleration Time
Turn the ACC trim pot to change the
acceleration time. The minimum setting
(fully counterclockwise) produces a
voltage ramp time of approximately 0.2
seconds. The maximum setting (fully
clockwise) produces a voltage ramp time
of approximately 10 seconds for a 0 to 90
VDC output and 20 seconds for a 0 to 180
VDC output. Certain loading conditions
may prevent the motor from actually
accelerating as quickly as the output
voltage ramps up.
DEC: Deceleration Time
Turn the DEC trim pot to change the
deceleration time. The minimum setting
(fully counterclockwise) produces a
voltage ramp time of approximately 0.2
seconds. The maximum setting (fully
clockwise) produces a voltage ramp time
of approximately 10 seconds to ramp the
output voltage down from 90 to 0 VDC and
20 seconds to ramp down from 180 to 0 VDC.
Certain loading conditions may prevent the
motor from actually decelerating as quickly
as the output voltage ramps down.

TORQ: Output Current Limit
The TORQ trim pot can be adjusted to change
the output current limit. Since the current
drawn by a DC motor is directly proportional
to the output torque of the motor, limiting the
current available to the DC motor will limit the
load the motor is capable of driving and set
the stall point. Turn the TORQ trim pot to set
the stall point from 0% (fully counterclockwise)
to roughly 180 – 250% (fully clockwise) of the
motor’s rated torque (assuming DIP switches are properly set). Note that the
factory setting of the TORQ trim pot allows the motor to draw more than its
rated current and will allow the motor to overheat if the overload condition is
allowed to persist continuously. There is no shut-down function in the control
to protect against a continuous overload. The red “LMT” LED will illuminate
when the current limit set by the TORQ trim pot is reached.
REG: IR Compensation for Speed Regulation
The REG trim pot sets the gain of the IR
compensation. It is factory set so that motor
speed varies no more than about 2% of
rated speed from no load to full load with
the DIP switches set properly. Increased IR
compensation can be obtained by turning the
REG trim pot clockwise. However, this may
cause some systems to become unstable. If
this happens, reduce the compensation by
turning the REG pot counterclockwise.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING
• Do not open the cover of the control when the power is ON to avoid injury
caused by electrical shock.
This control does not require maintenance under normal conditions. If you
encounter a problem, read all instructions provided with this control and
double check the wiring. If problems persist, contact your source of purchase
or a Bodine Authorized Service Center and describe the problem in detail.
Performing unauthorized repairs will void the Warranty.
GENERAL EVALUATION – Knowing the circumstances under which the
problem occurred can help to identify the root cause of the problem.
Has the system ever operated properly? If the control was just installed and
doesn’t work right, then something probably wasn’t done correctly in the
installation. However, if the system was working for an extended period of
time and just recently stopped working, then the control probably was initially
installed properly, but something has somehow changed.
Is the problem continuous or intermittent? If the problem always occurs
and never goes away, then it would indicate something inherently wrong in
the connections or a defective component. However, if the system operates
properly most of the time and only occasionally does something wrong, then
this might indicate loose connections or electrical noise interference.
Refer to Table 4 on the next page for a description of some of the more
common problems and their causes.
