run at its maximum speed. The speed control will not be damaged if the applied voltage is within +/-30VDC of the common (black)
wire, though maximum speed is achieved at +5VDC or higher, and the motor will stop if 0VDC or lower is applied.
DESCRIPTION
A Model 380 is an outside rotor, Brushless DC Motor. The motor is enclosed in a clear-anodized, aluminum covering. Depending
on the specific model purchased, there may be an attached magnet hub, a pump adapter, and/or a pump. The motors rotate in one
direction and have a 0-5 volt speed control input. There is a tachometer signal with a 0-5 volt square-wave output for speed
feedback. The tachometer output has 2 pulses per revolution, and the output frequency can be multiplied by 30 to obtain RPM. The
main power is 24VDC.
Function
The output shaft drives a magnet hub which drives a magnet in the pump. The driven magnet is connected to the pumping parts and
is sealed in the magnet cup. The magnets align pole-to-pole and rotate at the same speed until the coupling torque is exceeded.
Rotation of the pumping elements produces liquid flow. Magnet hubs are supplied by Micropump, and included with the motor
assembly.
Magnet Decoupling
Magnetic decoupling occurs when the load on the pump exceeds the coupling torque between the magnets. The magnets are forced
out of pole-to-pole alignment and are decoupled. When decoupling occurs, the driving magnet speed increases to motor no-load
speed while the driven magnet and pumping parts remain motionless. To recouple the magnets, the motor must be stopped to allow
the magnets to re-align. The motor can then be restarted. The magnet couplings used with the Model 380 motor will typically be
sized so that the motor stalls before the magnets decouple. However, some dynamic conditions (i.e. sudden changes in load) can
cause the magnets to decouple, despite the limited motor torque.
The motor is not designed to run in a stall condition continually. In

a stall condition, the motor thermal protection may not protect the
internal electronics from overheating. Do not run motor
CAUTION continuously in a stalled condition.

Decoupling is an inherent feature of magnetic couplings and DOES

NOT indicate a pump failure. Decoupling should only occur when
the magnet decoupling torque has been exceeded. Decoupling can be a
NOTE safety feature, preventing inadvertent pump/motor overloads.
ASSEMBLY
If the pumphead and drive are supplied separately, they will need to be assembled prior to installation. Please refer to the
weights/dimensions drawings in this manual. If you have questions about assembling your pump to your drive, please contact your
Micropump distributor.
INSTALLATION
Pump Installation. Refer to the pump manual for pump installation details.
Motor Installation.
• Ensure that there is adequate space for operation, inspection and maintenance.
• Secure the pump/motor to the foundation using suitable mounting bolts. The mounting bolts should hold the drive and
pump securely.
• If the mounting surface is hotter than 40ºC (104ºF), the motor may not be able to operate at full load without tripping the
thermal protection.
• The foundation must be capable of supporting the combined weight of the pump and motor and provide a rigid support.
• There is a o-ring groove designed to fit a size AS-568A No. 2-038 o-ring in the face of the motor flange.
Installation in Explosive and Fire Danger Zones.
Ensure the motor is suitable for area classification. The Model 380
is designed to meet IP55 and NEMA 4 requirements. This drive is
not explosion-proof.
WARNING
Space Requirements. Refer to the illustrations on pages 14-16 for overall dimension and weight of the motor. Refer to the pump
manual for the specific space requirements of the pump.

Mounting Plates and Adapters
This section is intended to cover installation of Micropump supplied pumps with the Model 380 motor. If you have purchased a
pump/motor combination this will be assembled ready for installation.
If you have purchased a motor without a pump, the pump will have been supplied with a plastic or metal adapter that mounts to the
square aluminum flange. The adapter allows the pump to be securely mounted to the motor. If you have the incorrect adapter for
your pump, the pump and motor will not mount together. Please contact your Micropump distributor for assistance.
Motor mounting screws are not supplied when a pump only is

purchased.
NOTE
Electrical Connection. Refer to the figures on page 14-15 for connection details. The Model 380 drive does not incorporate any
fusing. A 5 Amp, fast-acting fuse between the power supply and the motor is recommended. There is an internal 1000uF capacitor
with an ESR of 0.2 Ohms between the positive supply lead (red wire) and the motor common (black wire). This can cause an inrush
current whose exact nature will vary with your power supply. The gradient of the inrush can be reduced by adding a low value
resistor (up to 1.0 ohm) in series with the positive supply lead. However, this will limit the maximum power output of your motor
(to 35 watts, in the case of a 1.0 ohm resistor). The resister wattage should be appropriate for the application. If you need help
selecting a fuse and/or series resistor, please contact your Micropump distributor.
The input voltage, the 0-5 VDC control input and the tachometer output all use a common ground. Any potential difference between
the grounds of the power supply, control voltage source, and the customer supplied frequency counter (if used) will be forced to the
same ground reference when connected to the Model 380 drive. While not typical, in some cases undesirable currents can flow
through these devices' ground wires if more than one device is connected to earth ground. Ensure only one earth ground is used.
Voltage is not normally applied to the tachometer, but in case of misconnection, the tachometer can withstand an applied voltage in
the range of +/-30VDC with respect to the motor common (black) wire. Also, the speed control (white) wire can also withstand an
applied voltage in the range of +/-30VDC with respect to the motor common (black) wire. When the speed control wire is connected
to more than 5 volts, the motor will run at its maximum speed. When the speed control wire is connected to less than zero volts, the
motor will stop.
To maintain EMI compliance, connect the shield (bare wire) to the motor common (black wire) when wiring the motor.
Note that the motor common (black wire) is isolated from the motor housing. There is an internal 220nF, 63V capacitor between the
motor housing and motor common. If an earth ground is required for the motor housing, the grounding wire can be bolted to the

motor mounting flange. There is a thin layer of clear anodize covering the motor, so some care should be taken to ensure a proper
ground connection (if required).
This motor is not protected against a reverse-polarity connection,

where the common (black) wire is connected to the positive of the
power supply, and the supply (red) wire is connected to the negative
of the power supply. If power is applied in reverse-polarity, the
CAUTION
motor will be irreparably damaged.
EMI Compliance
The Model 380 motor has been tested and found to be in compliance with EN-55014.
UL Recognized
The Model 380 motor is recognized per UL 1004.
Electrical installation must be carried out by qualified personnel

familiar with local electrical installation regulations.
WARNING
Before starting any electrical installation work ensure that the main
electrical supply is adequately isolated.
WARNING
When using the Model 380 drive, it must be connected to a class II

power supply. A class II power supply is defined as being limited to
supplying no more than 100 volt-amperes.
WARNING
The pump is generally electrically isolated from the motor. Some

installations may need an earthing connection on the pumphead. If
an earthing connection is required for the pump, the connection
WARNING
should be made using one of the mounting screws fastening the

pump to the motor adaptor. (Refer to your assembly instructions.)
Pumping flammable fluids without a proper earthing connection

may cause spontaneous ignition. The Model 380 motor is not
designed for use in explosive atmospheres.
WARNING
OPERATION
Start-up Procedure. Before starting the pump/motor assembly, ensure that any valves in the inlet or discharge lines are open and
that any inlet filters are clean and free from obstruction. Refer to the pump IOM for its operational instructions.
Starting or running the pump with the discharge valve closed may
result in overloading of the drive motor and overpressure in the
discharge pipe.
CAUTION
Operating the motor without an attached pump will expose rotating

parts that can cause injury to personnel. Never touch the rotating
components.
WARNING
1. Set the external control voltage to minimum (0VDC).

2. Turn on the 24VDC power supply. With the control voltage set to 0VDC, the motor should not turn. In this idle state the
motor will draw a nominal 60-80 mA current.
3. Adjust the control voltage input to the required level. Current demand will rise and fall as the pump load and speed varies.
Once started the pump should prime if it has not already been filled with fluid. If the pump fails to prime, stop the pump and fill the
pumphead with liquid.
Post Start-up Checks. Once the pump has started perform the following checks:

REV A
(10/99)
A program which includes periodic monitoring of your Micropump
pump is recommended in order to provide timely detection and
assessment of any problems.
NOTE
Flow rate should always be adjusted by a diverter valve fitted in the

discharge line or the motor speed. NEVER throttle the flow of a
positive displacement pump by the inlet valve.
CAUTION
• Check that the pump and motor operate smoothly and are free from excessive vibration or cyclic noise.
• Check the inlet and discharge fittings are free from leaks.
Shut-down Procedure. To shut down the Model 380 drive, first, turn off the control voltage. Check that the unit runs down in a
steady manner. When the unit has stopped, disconnect the 24VDC power. Close the inlet and discharge valves. Drain the pump if
it is to be shut down for long periods or installed in areas where the liquid may freeze.
If a low impedance path (i.e. a solenoid valve) is connected in

parallel with the motor power leads and the 24VDC power is shut
off before the motor stops, potentially damaging regenerative
CAUTION
currents can flow out of the motor leads. Ensure motor stops before
disconnecting power.
Using the Tachometer Output. The tachometer output can be monitored using any frequency counter. The tachometer output is 0-
5V square wave that has two cycles per drive revolution. The frequency range is 0-160Hz. To convert the tachometer output to
RPM, multiply the frequency by 30. The tachometer can be used as a speed feedback in a control system, or as a means of
automatically sensing a decouple condition. Please contact your distributor if you need assistance.
How to Recognize Magnet Decoupling. Magnet decoupling occurs when the load on the pump exceeds the coupling torque
between the magnets. The magnets are forced out of pole-to-pole alignment and are decoupled. When decoupling occurs, the
driving magnet speed increases to motor no-load speed while the driven magnet and pumping parts remain motionless. An
automatic system can detect decoupling by monitoring the tachometer line and either flow or pressure. If the tachometer line is
sensing that the motor is turning but there is no flow, or pressure is much lower than expected, then a decouple is likely to have
occurred. Depending on the complexity of the control system, a warning can be issued or an automatic re-coupling routine can be
performed.
Decoupling is an inherent feature of magnetic couplings and DOES

NOT indicate a pump failure. Decoupling should only occur when the
magnet decoupling torque has been exceeded. Decoupling can be a
safety feature, preventing inadvertent pump/motor overloads.
Causes of Magnet Decoupling. Magnetically driven pumps can operate very quietly. It is not always possible to detect, without
disassembly of the pump, when the magnet coupling and pumping parts are operating incorrectly. It is therefore important to be able
to recognize possible causes of magnet de-coupling:
• Blockage or restriction in the discharge side of the system

• Discharge pressure exceeds decouple point
• Fluid viscosity too high
• Foreign particles jamming pumping parts
• Binding or stuck pumping parts - this may occur between pumping cycles as a result of dried residue of the fluid being
pumped. Drain and flush the pump to remove the residue.
• Sudden changes in pump load (including water -hammer or fluid-line pressure surges)
Magnet Recoupling. Before recoupling ensure that the cause of the decoupling has been identified and rectified. To recouple the
magnets, the motor must be stopped (to allow the magnets to re-align) and then restarted.
MAINTENANCE, SERVICING AND FAULT ISOLATION
Maintenance
The Model 380 motor is designed to be maintenance free.
Servicing
The Model 380 motor requires no service for the life of the drive.
Troubleshooting
If the pump does not meet its design performance or fails to operate correctly refer to the following tables for assistance in
identifying the cause and remedy:
A program which includes periodic monitoring of your Micropump

pump, is recommended in order to provide timely detection and
assessment of any problems.
