Before you start

  • AC power within the cabinet and the rear side of the cabinet door presents a shock hazard.
  • Disable the linear motor by placing the Motor Disconnect switch in the Off position before making adjustments.

Procedure

  1. Check that nominal voltage is present on all phases of the source being calibrated.
  2. Turn the Undervoltage Pickup and Dropout potentiometers fully clockwise.
  3. Turn the Undervoltage calibration (Cal) potentiometer fully clockwise; the Source Available lamp should be on.
  4. Turn the Undervoltage Cal potentiometer counterclockwise until the Source Available lamp turns off.
  5. Slowly turn the Undervoltage Cal potentiometer clockwise until the Source Available lamp just turns on again.
  6. The undervoltage sensor is now calibrated; recalibrate the overvoltage sensor if it was adjusted in step 3.
