3 TRIMPOT ADJUSTMENTS
The SIVFR contains multi-turn trimpots which are factory set for most applications. See Figure 1, on page 1, for the location of the
trimpots.

The SIVFR is factory set for Voltage Following Operation to run the motor from zero speed to full speed with a 0 to ±5 Volt DC analog
signal input. For Current Following Operation (4 – 20 mA DC), see Section 3.2.

Some applications may require readjustment of the trimpots in order to tailor the drive for a specific application. The trimpots may be
readjusted as described below.

WARNING! If possible, do not adjust trimpots with the main power applied. If adjustments are made with the main
power applied, an insulated adjustment tool must be used and safety glasses must be worn. High voltage exists in this drive.
Fire and/or electrocution can result if caution is not exercised. Safety Warning, on page 1 of the SIVF manual, must be read and
understood before proceeding.

3.1 MAXIMUM SPEED (MAX): The MAX Trimpot is factory set to run the motor at full speed with a ±5 Volt DC analog signal input. For
a higher analog signal input (±25 Volt DC max.) rotate the MAX Trimpot counterclockwise. For a lower analog signal input (±2.5 Volt
DC min.) rotate the MAX Trimpot clockwise. See Figure 15.

Note: The MAX Trimpot on the KBVF has been factory set to an Upper Frequency Limit of 60 Hz (50 Hz, for 50 Hz motors). If the
application requires a slightly higher maximum frequency (up to 66 Hz), rotate the MAX Trimpot on the KBVF to full clockwise
position.

3.2 SIGNAL OFFSET (OFFSET): The OFFSET Trimpot is used to recalibrate the drive for Current Following Operation. The SIVFR will
run the motor from zero speed to full speed with a 4 – 20 mA DC analog signal input. For a higher minimum speed setting, rotate
the OFFSET trimpot clockwise. For a lower minimum speed setting rotate the OFFSET Trimpot counterclockwise. See Figure 16.

Note: The MIN Trimpot on the KBVF is not functional when the SIVFR is installed.

 I. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the SIVF Signal Isolator (P/N 9474). KB Electronics, Inc. is com-
mitted to providing total customer satisfaction by producing high quality products that have
been manufactured to the highest standards and techniques in the industry. The SIVF is
engineered with state-of-the-art surface mount technology (SMT) incorporating advanced
circuitry in a relatively small and user friendly package, making it convenient to operate and
easy to install.
The SIVF is used to isolate, amplify, and condition DC voltage and current signals from any
source (power supplies, motors, tachometer generators, transducers, and potentiometers).
The isolated output voltage of the SIVF provides input signals to all models of the KBVF
Adjustable Frequency Drive (P/N 9957, 9958, 9959, 9977, 9978, and 9979). Signal input
and motor direction control is performed by making connections to the on-board barrier ter-
minal. All inputs (+5V, SIG, COM, FWD & REV) to the SIVF are isolated from the AC line
and motor connections.

The SIVF is factory calibrated to accept signal input voltage (0 – 5V DC), current (4 – 20mA
DC), or a potentiometer (5KΩ) via a jumper selection. MIN and MAX trimpots are provided
in order to readjust the SIVF. This allows the use of 0 – 2.5 thru 25V DC input voltage sig-
nals for customizing specific applications.

Safety Warning! Do not use FWD-STOP-REV contacts as a safety disconnect since

they are not fail-safe. Use only the AC line for this purpose.

 Note: A connection must be made between FWD and COM or REV and COM in order
for control to operate. Jumper shown installed in FWD direction.
See Table 2, Terminal Block Wiring Information, on page 9.
Note: The MIN and MAX trimpots on the KBVF are non-operational after the SIVF is
installed.
A. Signal Following
In this mode, a signal source is used to vary motor speed.

i. Voltage Following – Uses a voltage Figure 5 – Voltage Following Connection

source to vary motor speed. (Jumper J1 in “VOLT” Position)
Set J1 to “VOLT” position and connect
the voltage source to TB1 terminals SIG (+) and COM (-). See
figure 5, Voltage Following Connection. Be sure the posi-
tive (+) signal is connected to “SIG” terminal and the
negative (-) is connected to the “COM” termi-
nal.
When a 0V DC signal is applied, the
motor will operate at the minimum set
speed (set by the MIN trimpot on the
SIVF). When a 5V DC signal is applied, the
motor will operate at the maximum set speed (set by the MAX trimpot on the
SIVF).

ii. Current Following – Uses a current source to vary motor speed.

Set J1 to “CUR” position and connect the current source to TB1 terminals SIG
(+) and COM (-). See figure 7, Current Following Connection, on page 11.

10
 Be sure the positive (+) signal is Figure 6 – Current Following Connection
connected to “SIG” terminal and (Jumper J1 in “CUR” Position)
the negative (-) is connected to
the “COM” terminal.
When a 4mA DC signal is applied, the motor will operate
at the minimum set speed (set by the MIN trimpot on
the SIVF). When a 20mA DC signal is applied, the
motor will operate at the maximum set speed (set by
the MAX trimpot on the SIVF)

B. Potentiometer Operation – Uses a potentiome-

ter to vary motor speed.
Set J1 to “VOLT” position and connect the 5K potentiometer
to TB1 terminals marked “SIG” (wiper of
potentiometer), “+5” (high side of poten- Figure 7 – Potentiometer Connection
tiometer), and “COM” (low side of poten- (Jumper J1 in “VOLT” Position)
tiometer). See figure 7 Potentiometer
Connection. When the potentiometer is set to 0% (fully counterclock-
wise), the motor will operate at the minimum set speed (set by
the MIN trimpot on the SIVF). When the potentiometer is
set to 100% (full clockwise position) the motor will operate
at full speed (set by the MAX trimpot on the SIVF).

C. Unidirectional Operation
To operate the control in forward, install a
jumper between “FWD” and “COM” terminals of
the SIVF
To operate the control in reverse, install a jumper between “REV” and “COM” termi-
11
 nals of the SIVF. See figure Figure 8 – Unidirectional Operation
8, Unidirectional Operation.
Note: A SPDT switch or
contact can be used as an
enable to turn control on
and off electronically.

Safety Warning! Do not use FWD-STOP-REV contacts as a safety disconnect since

they are not fail-safe. Use only the AC line for this purpose.
D. Bidirectional Operation
i. Switch Connection – Figure 9 – Switch Connection
Connect the normally open (Forward-Stop-Reverse)
single pole double throw
(SPDT) maintained switch
with center off position as
shown in figure 9. The center,
or common terminal of the
switch connects to the “COM”
terminal of the SIVF and the
normally open terminals of the
switch connect to the “FWD”
and “REV” terminals of the SIVF.

12
 Making the connection between Figure 10 – Open Collector Connection
“COM” and “FWD” terminals will oper- (Forward-Stop-Reverse)
ate the motor in the forward direction.
Making the connection between the
“COM” and “REV” terminals will operate
the motor in the reverse direction. If no
connections are made to either FWD or
REV terminals, the motor will be in the
STOP state. See figure 9, Switch
Connections, on page 12. If the motor
runs in the opposite intended direction,
interchange FWD and REV connections.
Warning: Be sure to disconnect AC power, and wait until “PWR” and
“ST” LEDs are no longer illuminated. HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT
WHILE LEDs ARE ILLUMINATED.

ii. Open Collector Transistor Connections – Connect the open collector transis-
tor circuit as shown in figure 10. Both emitters of the transistor circuit connect
to the “COM” terminal of the SIVF and the collectors of the transistor circuit con-
nect to the “FWD” and “REV” terminals of the SIVF.

IV. CALIBRATION PROCEDURE (See Safety Warning on Page 1)

The SIVF is factory calibrated, but readjustments to the MIN and MAX trimpots can be
made to customize for a particular signal input requirement.
Note: Adjustments to the MAX trimpot will affect the MIN trimpot setting. It may be neces-
sary to repeat steps 1 through 5 to achieve accurate calibration settings. For best
results, adjust MAX trimpot before adjusting MIN trimpot.

13
 A. Calibrating the SIVF for Voltage Following (Jumper J1 in “VOLT” position):
1. Select FWD or REV direction.
2. Apply the maximum voltage input signal.
3. Monitor KBVF output and adjust the MAX trimpot on SIVF for the desired maxi-
mum setting.
4. Apply the minimum voltage input signal.
5. Monitor KBVF output and adjust the MIN trimpot on SIVF for the desired setting.
B. Calibrating the SIVF for Current Following (Jumper J1 in “CUR” position):
1. Select FWD or REV direction.
2. Apply the maximum current input signal.
3. Monitor KBVF output and adjust the MAX trimpot on SIVF for the desired maxi-
mum setting.
4. Apply the minimum current input signal.
5. Monitor KBVF output and adjust the MIN trimpot on SIVF for the desired minimum
setting.
C. Calibrating the SIVF for Potentiometer Operation (J1 in “VOLT” position):
1. Select FWD or REV direction.
2. Set potentiometer to 100% (fully clockwise).
3. Monitor KBVF output and adjust the MAX trimpot on SIVF for the desired KBVF
output.
4. Set potentiometer to 0% (fully counterclockwise).
5. Monitor KBVF output and adjust the MIN trimpot on SIVF for the desired minimum
setting.
