The starting torque pot en tiometer should be set so th at when the PIC calls for the motor
to start, the rotor shoul d just start to turn. The nomin al dial position for a 60 Hz mo to r is
approximately th e 11:30 positio n. The nominal dial position for a 50 Hz moto r is approxi-
mately in the 9:30 positi on because the board is turn ed on its side, so that the 9:00
o’clock position is lo cated where the 6:00 o’clock position would normally be located. The
ramp potentiometer sh oul d be set so that the motor is up to full speed in 15 to 20 sec-
onds, the bypass contact ors have energized, and t he auxiliary LCD is energ iz ed .
