General Description
The AM-1000-XXX series of drives is designed to run either a 1/4 or 1/2 horsepower
(HP) permanent magnet (PM) DC motor. The AM-1000 series was originally an OEM
product of which there were two models. The -000 model accepted a 0-10mA speed
reference while the -001 model accepted a 0-10V speed reference. The current
production model (-002) has a customer selectable switch (S1) that allows for either 0-
10mA or 0-10V sensors.

Installation
3.1 Wiring Guidelines
To prevent electrical interference and to minimize start-up problems, adhere to the
following guidelines:
Use fully insulated and shielded cable for all signal wiring. The shield should be
connected to circuit common at one end only. The other end of the shield should be
clipped and insulated to prevent the possibility of accidental grounding.
Signal level wiring such as listed above should be routed separately from high level
power wiring (such as the A.C. line, motor, operator control, and relay control wiring).
When these two types of wire must cross, they should cross at right angles to each
other.
Any relay, contactor, starter, solenoid or other electro-mechanical device located in close
proximity to or on the same line supply as the AM-1000 should have a transient
suppression device such as an MOV or R-C snubber connected in parallel with its coil.
The suppressor should have short leads and be connected as close to the coil as
possible.

Description of Terminals
TB1-1 & 2 (AC INPUT)
These terminals are used for the A.C. line input. The AM-1000 accepts 115VAC. The
circuit should be able to provide a minimum of 20A.
TB1-3 & 4 (CLOSE TO ENABLE)
Closing a set of contacts across these terminals will place the drive in the RUN mode.
The motor will accelerate up to a speed determined by the signal level on terminal 10.
The drive will coast to a stop when the contacts are opened.
TB1-5 & 6 (CLOSE TO JOG)
Closing a set of contacts across these terminals places the drive in the JOG mode. The
motor will accelerate up to a speed set by the JOG potentiometer (P3).
TB1-7 & 8 (ARMATURE)
Motor lead A1 connects to terminal 7 and motor lead A2 connects to terminal 8. The
armature leads should be switched if reverse rotation is desired.
TB1-9, 10, & 11 (SPEED REFERENCE)
Typically, an external sensor is used to provide the drive with a speed reference.
Terminal 9 provides a +15VDC signal to power the sensor. The sensor provides either a
0-10mA or 0-10V signal that connects to terminal 10. Refer to switch S1. Terminal 11 is
circuit common (0V).
CN1/CN2 (MOTOR HP SELECTION)
If a 1/2HP motor is used, connect a jumper from terminal CN1 to CN2. Leave
disconnected for 1/4HP motors.
Description of Features & Adjustments
P1 MAX SPEED
This potentiometer sets the maximum motor speed when the Terminal 10 speed
reference is at maximum. Clockwise rotation increases speed.
P2 MIN SPEED
This potentiometer sets the minimum motor speed when the Terminal 10 speed
reference is at minimum. Clockwise rotation increases the output speed.
P3 JOG SPEED
This potentiometer sets the motor speed when the drive is in the JOG mode (via
terminals 5 & 6). Clockwise rotation increases the output speed.
P4 CURRENT LIMIT
This potentiometer sets the maximum motor armature current limit. Full clockwise
rotation sets a maximum current level of 3.75A when a 1/4HP motor is selected or 7.5A
when a 1/2HP motor is selected. Full counter-clockwise rotation sets current limit at 0A.
Clockwise rotation increases the maximum current limit level.
S1 SENSOR TYPE
This switch allows for either a 0-10mA or a 0-10V sensor to be used. Place S1 in the 'I'
position for current or the 'V' position for voltage.

Adjustment Procedure
WARNING! DURING CALIBRATION, THE AM-1000 WILL PRODUCE
AN OUTPUT. PLEASE DISCONNECT ANY EQUIPMENT FROM THE
DRIVE THAT COULD BE DAMAGED OR CAUSE INJURY DURING THIS
PROCESS.
1. Connect the AM-1000-XXX per the connection diagram. Place switch S1 in the
appropriate position (I or V) based on the type of external sensor.
2. If a 1/4 HP motor is used, make no connection from CN1 to CN2. If a 1/2 HP
motor is used, connect a wire jumper from CN1 to CN2.
3. With no load on the motor or machine and with the speed sensor providing
minimum signal on terminal 10, apply power to the control. Place the drive in the
RUN mode by closing a set of contacts across terminals 3 & 4. Increase the MIN
SPEED pot (P2) clockwise until the motor just begins to creep and then CCW until
the motor just stops.
4. Adjust the external sensor to provide maximum signal to terminal 10. Adjust the
MAX SPEED pot (P1) until desired maximum motor speed is obtained. Open the
contacts across 3 & 4 to stop the motor.
5. Place the drive in the JOG mode by closing the contacts across 5 & 6. Adjust the
JOG SPEED pot (P3) until desired jog motor speed is achieved. Open the
contacts to stop the drive.
6. If desired, the current limit level can be reduced by adjusting the CURRENT LIMIT
pot (P4) counter-clockwise.
