micronor MR266 Motorized Potentiometer Installation Guide
Motorized Potentiometer

The MR266 series is a direct automation replacement for existing manual rheostat controls. Interface options include 4-20mA or 0-10V which ensures compatibility with the majority of PLC or DCS control systems MR266 series replace a manually controlled, high power rheostat (10 watts up to 300 Watts). For low wattage potentiometer applications (< 5W), please refer to MR267 series data sheet. For higher wattage requirements (500-1000W), contact Micronor sales.

Features

  • 35mm DIN Rail Mount
  • User-Adjustable Timing Cycle from 10 to 120 Seconds
  • User-Selectable Override options
  • Optional MR267A Front Panel Override LED Indicator and Reset Pushbutton Accessory
  • Optional HPFF Front Panel Mount Remote Potentiometer Control Accessory

Product Overview

Setting up the Motorized Rheostat

  1. Make Power, Input, and Output Connections to Controller using the supplied PHOENIX plug.
    Note: if using MR267A Accessory, first mount to front panel and then connect to special mating receptacle on bottom side of Controller PCB (not visible in this photo).

  2. Set DIP switches for desired Override and Bias modes. See following page for detailed explanation of settings and factory defaults.

  3. Make connections to Rheostat. Crimp-style ring or blade terminals are recommended

    • For 20W/60W models, use size #4 or M3
    • For 170W/300W models, use size #8 or M4
  4. Adjust Min and Max offset if 4mA/0V and/or 20mA/10V set points are to be different than default 0Ω and Full Scale settings, respectively. Adjust SPD trimpot for timing cycle other than the default setting of 10 seconds (Adjustable range is 10-120 seconds)

Input Response is User Adjustable

5| O-| Position output return signal. May be either curent or voltage depend- ing on option.
6| VOP| Isolated voltage available for customer use. Voltage is nominal 12V. Maximum load 30mA. This isolated voltage is only available with iso- lated 0-10V Input/Output.
7| GND| System ground. Internally connected to pin 9.
8| V10| Precision Reference output 10V. Maximum load 6mA. May be used to power remote control potentiometer. Voltage is referenced to sys- tem ground. Optional HPF00-7-0-0 Remote Potentiometer accessory is available as a turnkey solution.
9| GND| System ground. Internally connected to pin 7.
10| 24+| System power. Connect to external power supply. Peak current drawwhen motor is running is 220mA. Typical idle current draw is <60mA.

MR267A LED/Pushbutton Accessory

The optional MR267A is a turnkey, plug-in assembly for users utilizing the Manual Override function (see Start-Up Options). If Override is set to ON, the LED will flash when the operator attempts to manually override the pot position. The LED continues to indicate that the unit is in Manual Override mode and will ignore the analog input. Externally toggling the power Off/On or pressing this pushbutton will restore the motor pot to normal analog input control.

If user needs to make direct connections to the MR267A receptacle, then use Molex 51021-0800 plug (DigiKey WM1726-ND) and appropriate crimp terminals.

MR267A Connections

Pin 1 = Common Common Connection to LED cathode and switch Common
Pin 3 = Reset Connection to switch NO contact and to inter- nal NMCLR input with 4.3kΩ pull-up to +5VDC
Pin 6 = LED Connection to LED anode to RBS processor input via internal 681Ω series resistor

Note: MR267A plugs into mating receptacle located on reverse side and bottom of controller PCB

Replacement Plugs
