Use a shield cable for the unit and load wiring and connect the screen to the unit’s terminal.
When using the control circuit wiring and power circuit wiring in parallel, separate the wiring by
300mm (11.8”) or more or pass each of the wiring through separate metal conduits. If the control
circuit wiring and main circuit wiring intersect, make sure that they intersect at a right angle.

(Note 4) Output
Do not insert a power factor improvement capacitor on the output side of the unit. When inserting
a magnetic contactor on the output side of the unit, prepare a sequence control circuit so that the
magnetic contactor will not open and close when the unit is running. Directly connect only load to
the unit and do not connect through a transformer etc...without consulting Amtech.
(Note 5) Grounding
Always ground the unit according to the regulations of the country where the unit is being used.
(Note 6) Surge absorber
Install a surge absorber on the magnetic contactor and relay coils installed near the unit.

9 When wiring (control circuit wiring) to the control terminal block, separate the main circuit wiring
(terminals L1, L2, L3, U, V, W) and the other starter wires and power wires.
9 Use a 0.13 (AWG26) to 0.8mm² (AWG18) wire for wiring to the control circuit. The tightening
torque must be 0.6N.m (5.3lb-inch).
9 Use a twisted pair wire or twisted pair shield wire for wiring to the analog signal circuit such as the
analog references and meters. Connect the shield wire to the 0V terminal of the unit. The wire
length must be 30 meters (98.4’) or less.
9 The length of the sequence input/output contact wire must be 50 meters (164’) or less.
9 Changing the jumper position JP1 in PCA-2005B between “SINK” and “SOURCE” position
respectively can change the sequence input between sink logic and source logic. Open cover
designated as “Control Unit” to access this jumper.
9 At this time do not carry out a megger check or buzzer check on the control circuit.
• Are there any wire scraps or foreign matter left around the terminals?
• Are any screws loose?
• Is the wiring correct?
• Is any terminal contacting any other terminal?
If so, take the necessary corrective measures before proceeding further.

CHAPTER-3: DIGITAL OPERATION PANEL (LCD KEYPAD MODULE)
The configuration of the Digital Operation Panel is shown in the below figure. The structure of it is as
shown below.
The Digital Operation Panel is equipped with 8-keys as shown in the above figure. The function of
each key is described below.
This key is utilized to reach to the normal screen of digital operation panel from any
parameter, group or mode. The normal screen displays different parameters and status.
This is the screen displayed at power on.
This key when pressed passes the control to next successive modes i.e. NORM (Normal),
MODE-M (Monitor), MODE-A, MODE-B, MODE-C and so on. After the end of all modes,
it will carry the control again to first mode. When changing the mode, the last accessed
parameter of last accessed group of successive mode will be displayed.
This key passes the control to next group in the same mode. The groups can be
accessed only in the incremental direction. At last it will again come to the first group.
These keys are used to change parameter numbers & parameter value. When ENTER
key is pressed, these keys are used to change the parameter value, otherwise it is used
to navigate the parameters in upward / downward direction in the group.
This key is used to change and save the parameter value. When pressed first time, it will
allow the user to change the parameter value using up / down keys. Once the desired
value is set, it is pressed again to save the changed value. Press NORM key instead of
ENTER, to discard the change.
This key is used to start the unit when the start control is through Digital Operation
Panel. The key is equipped with the status indicating LED. It will glow, when the unit is
running.
The Digital Operation Panel is also equipped with the fault indicating LED. It will flash in the fault
condition. It is also equipped with four lines, 20-character LCD display for the user-friendly parameter
navigation, monitoring and setting.

The fourth line of the Digital Operation Panel (LCD Keypad Module) is used to display different status
of the unit as shown above. More than one status can exist at one time. In this case, the status having
higher priority will be displayed. The priority is as shown in the figure. Fault has the highest priority
and mains on have least priority.

CHAPTER-4: TEST OPERATION & ADJUSTMENT
DANGER
¾ Never touch the unit terminals while the power is ON even if the operation is stopped.
Failure to observe this could lead to electric shocks.
¾ Selection of the restart function could lead to unexpected restarting when a fault occurs. The
machine may start suddenly if the power is turned ON, if the run command is present. Do not
go near the machine.
¾ Resetting of a fault while the run signal is input could lead to restarting. Always confirm that
the run signal is OFF before resetting the fault.
Failure to do so could lead to injuries.

GROUP-2: PROTECTION PARAMETERS – 1
When a fault is detected, the unit output is shut off for the Restart Wait Time B209. The operation
panel displays the fault while the unit output is OFF.
When the restart wait time elapses, a fault is reset automatically and restarts to continue the
operation.
When the number of such attempts exceeds the Number of Restart B208, the faults are not reset
automatically and the unit output remains OFF. At this time a fault relay is activated and the fault data
will be stored in fault history. The RUN relay will also be deactivated.

CHAPTER-7: ELECTRONICS CIRCUIT BOARDS
AXPERT Electronic Power Controller has following electronics circuit boards.
The Control Board PCA-2005 is a multipurpose board and specifically designed to meet the high-end
performance of the power electronics products like Soft Starter, AC Power Controller, and Controlled
Rectifier etc…
It uses 32-bit High-Performance Digital Signal Processor TMS320F2811. The control board
generates the necessary Gate pulses for AC Power Controller operation. It accepts various inputs
from different circuits and Digital Operation Panel (LCD Keypad Module) to generate the necessary
control and gate signals.
The TMS320F2811 (U1) is the heart of this board. It handles the user interfaces and core algorithm
and generates Thyristor gate signals. The PCA-2005 is connected to PCA-2012 Display Card with
RS-485 link. PCA-2008 displays various parameters of the AC Power Controller.
It has LPC2368 ARM -controller. When interfaced with main control board PCA-2005, this becomes
master and the main control boards works as slave. The master and slave communication is based on
RS-485 (Modbus-RTU Protocol).

Appendix-C: Trouble Shooting Guidelines
In case of fault condition, first ensure that the mains voltage applied at L1, L2 and L3 are ok.
Then check the control supply voltage in PCA-2005.
If the above voltages are correct, check the following jumper positions.
Jumper Position
1. The equipment is shipped with sink logic (JP1 is kept on Sink position) for the programmable
sequence inputs. To change the sink logic to source, change the jumper JP1 position to Source.
2. The equipment is shipped with JP3 in NLD position. This means the terminating resistors are not in
picture. To insert the terminating resistors, keep the jumper to LD position.
If the above jumper positions are correct, check the following as per the fault displayed on the
Operation Panel (LCD Display)
