ARMATURE CONTACTOR
A two-pole DC magnetic contactor provides
positive disconnect of the motor armature
from the rectified power source for added

safety.
MO-03045 DC TACHOMETER (VOLTAGE)
FOLLOWER (NON-ISOLATED)

This option allows the speed of the PACEMASTER to be controlled automatically by a speed reference voltage from a DC tachometer generator. This enables the speed of one motor to follow the speed of a master motor or machine. This option will accept a DC input signal of 10-275 volts at maximum motor speed.
MO-02586  ARMATURE CONTACTOR
WITH DYNAMIC BRAKING (DB)

Reduces the stopping time of the motor
when the STOP button is depressed. Under
normal operation, the motor will coast-to-rest.
If a dynamic braking kit has been added, when the STOP button is depressed the motor functions as a generator, and the rotating mechanical energy is turned into
electrical energy which is dissipated as heat in the dynamic braking resistor. Dynamic braking is not a holding brake, and will not keep a motor at rest from rotating. The kit consists of a contactor and dynamic braking resistor.
MO-03047 DC TACHOMETER FEEDBACK
& DC TACHOMETER (VOLTAGE) FOLLOWER

The dual-function plug-in card provides the PACEMASTER drive with both the tech feedback and tech follower (non- isolated) functions.

PACEMASTER Controller to be used with a Programmable Logic Controller, Reversing Relays, or Pushbutton Operators for reversing applications. The option provides the necessary
interlocking so that a Forward and a Reverse command cannot
enter the drive simultaneously. The first command to enter the
drive will take priority until it is removed thus allowing a new
command to enter the drive. Anti-plug protection is also provided with this option.
This option requires the addition of the appropriate Reversing
Contactor option (MO-02576 or M0-02587 for PACEMASTER 1, or MO-02866 for PACEMASTER 2) for proper operation.
