Application and enclosure
This Dayton 5X485 DC speed control is built for industrial and commercial motor-drive applications. Its NEMA 4X rated transparent enclosure protects the electronics from wash-down, dust and corrosive atmospheres. The unit suits single-direction drives on conveyors, pumps or fans where a sealed controller is required.
Input-voltage flexibility
The controller accepts 120 or 240 V AC mains supply and delivers a 0 to 90 V DC or 0 to 180 V DC output to the motor. This dual-input design lets the same unit serve both standard North American service voltages without re-wiring the power feed.
Motor-power range and speed span
Rated for 1/8 to 1 hp motors, the drive provides a 50:1 speed range with an external on/off switch for simple start-stop control. It is not suited for reversible or multi-motor installations that need bidirectional logic or additional I/O.

Questions about this item
What does the 50:1 speed range mean when the control is running a motor?
It lets you adjust the motor speed across a span fifty times wider than the minimum setting, so you can dial in very slow speeds or run up to the full 90 or 180 volt output.
How does the 120 or 240 volt AC input limit the output voltage I can use?
The control rectifies the incoming 120 or 240 volt AC supply to produce 0 to 90 volt DC on the lower range and 0 to 180 volt DC on the higher range.
What mounting provisions does the NEMA 4X enclosure give me?
The sealed NEMA 4X case is designed for surface mounting and includes threaded hubs for conduit entry, so it can be bolted directly to a wall or machine frame.
