1361 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM
A. Drive wont start.
B. Drive runs
unstable.
(HUNTING)
PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Loss of AC control power.
2. Loss of line voltage.
3. Open Control Circuit.
4. Faulty Control logic elements or contactor.
Faulty Solid State Control Logic. Faulty
Anti-Plug Board.
5. Motor stalled or Current Limit pot turned
fully CCW.
6. Open field winding or circuit on wound field
motor.
1. Improper Stability pot adjustment.
2. Improper IR Comp pot adjustment (set too
high).
C. Drive won't get up

3.
Failure on Main Regulator Board.
Open armature bridge rectifier.
Maximum Speed pot set too low
Main Regulator Board faulty.
Current Limit set too low.
4. Faulty Economizing circuit on field supply.
SOLUTION
1. No LED’s illuminated. Check 3F.
2. Check for 120V/240V AC at L1 and L2. Check
fuses 1F and 2F. Check branch circuit
disconnect device.
3. Check for proper connections per wiring
diagram.
4. Check control logic and elements Contactor coil
is open/replace. Replace Main Regulator
Board. Replace Anti-Plug Board.
5. Reduce mechanical loading. Reset Current
Limit pot per start-up.
6. Check field conductors and coils for continuity.
1. Re-adjust Stability pot. Check new setting by
changing drive speed and noting whether
instability exists.
2. Re-adjust turning CCW a little at a time until
oscillation disappears. Turn IR Comp pot fully
CCW when drive is equipped with tach
feedback option.
3. Replace Main Regulator Board.
4. Replace SCR package.
1. Re-set Maximum Speed pot per to Speed.
2. Replace Main Regulator Board.
3. Reset Current Limit per Start-Up
procedure/reduce loading. Check line voltage.
4. Check field power supply (output) condition.
Replace if necessary.
WARNING: Do not touch metal test equipment chassis. A shock hazard exists if contact is made with the ungrounded chassis and
any grounded metal object when test leads are connected to drive controller circuitry.
PROBLEM
D. Drive runs at rated
maximum speed
or above with no
control.
E. Motor
continuously in
current limit.
PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Speed feedback level too low Main
Regulator Board faulty. Incorrect Tach or
Regulation ModOp.
2. No Tachometer Generator output or tach
conductors to drive open.
1. Current Limit pot set too low.
2. Excessive mechanical load.
3. Incorrect Shunt.
4. Main Regulator Board faulty.
F. Line Fuses 1F, 2F,
blow.
G. Fuse 3F blows.
H. Armature fuse 4F
blows.
I. Drive will not
reverse.
1. Shorted semi-conductors in armature
bridge.
2. Main Regulator Board Faulty.
3. Fault after incoming line fuses.
1. Fault in control circuitry.
1. Fault in motor armature circuit.
1. Faulty Anti-Plug board.
2. Faulty reversing contactor, interlock, or
control device.
SOLUTION
1. Replace Main Regulator Board, Tach or
Regulation ModOp as required.
2. Replace Tachometer or repair tach
conductors.
1. Re-set Current Limit pot according to startup procedure.
2. Reduce loading to within the drive rating.
Check mechanical operation of machine and
motor.
3. Check/Replace as necessary.
4. Replace Main Regulator Board.
1. Locate and replace SCR package.

1.
Replace Main Regulator Board
Check for grounds in controller.
Check for grounds in control circuit.
Check for conductor grounds or insulation
breakdowns.
1. Replace Anti-Plug Board.
2. Check contactor coil for open. Check
electrical and mechanical operation of all
interlocks on both contactors and control
device.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE PLUG IN MODOPS FROM MAIN REGULATOR OR
ISOLATED FOLLOWER BOARDS WHEN RETURNING ENTIRE UNIT FOR REPAIR OR
REPLACEMENT.
CAUTION: Damage to equipment may result if the metal chassis of test equipment is
grounded. A grounded chassis can place the "common" test probe at ground potential. Drive
controller "common" circuits may be floating above ground potential during operation and test.
Connection of ground probes to drive controller common circuits can cause damage to the drive
and test equipment. An ungrounded metal test equipment chassis must be insulated from
grounded metal surfaces.
