FA-SC1 Speed Controller User Manual

The Firgelli Automations FA-SC1 Speed Controller operating at 10Khz PWM


allows you to control the speed of all our 12VDC actuators.

The maximum current capability of the unit is 10A.

Designed using a motor controller and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) you are
able to control the speed of your actuator in either direction with minimal impact
on the actuator force. You can reduce the speed to just under 50% with little loss
of force. Force loss is determined by inertia of the actuator and could be more
with higher force actuators.

The Speed Controller can be set by either a four position DIP switch or an external
voltage input.

CAUTION: DO NOT reverse the polarity of the external control voltage; the unit will
be damaged permanently if polarity is reversed.

Variation in Speed with DIP SW Settings:


CAUTION: The FA-SC1 is intended to control the speed of one linear actuator.
DO NOT connect two actuators to the same FA-SC1. The maximum
current capability of the unit is 10A; even two small actuators
connected together to the Speed Controller could draw a startup
surge current exceeding 10A which will damage the unit.

Circuit Board Layout:


Terminal 1 connects to the RED wire coming from your actuator
Terminal 2 connects to the Black wire coming from your actuator.
Terminal 3 connects to the power wire from your control switch or remote
Terminal 4 connects to the other power wire from your control switch or remote
Terminal A external speed control voltage in+ DO NOT reverse the polarity.
Terminal B external speed control voltage in-

The Jumper JP1 selects the option of either the DIP switch setting or external
voltage input. This external voltage input can come from an external
potentiometer or an analog voltage from a micro-controller like an Arduino or
even a PLC.

This feature allows you to use the SC1 Speed Controller as a motor driver for
micro-controllers or PLCs too.
Wiring Diagrams:

Connecting FA-SC1 Speed Controller to a Rocker Switch:


Connecting the FA-SC1 Speed Controller with External Control Voltage:

For this mode, ensure Jumper 2 (JP2) is not connected.

Select external control voltage range with Jumper 1 (JP1): 5VDC or 12VDC

The external control voltage can be generated from your micro-controller or a PLC.

CAUTION: Do not reverse the polarity of the external control voltage; the unit will
be damaged permanently.
Connecting the FA-SC1 Speed Controller with External Potentiometer:

Another way is to connect an external potentiometer across the 12VDC power


adapter (before the switch as shown).

CAUTION: Do not reverse the polarity of the external control voltage; the unit will
be damaged permanently.
