The Dart DP4 series is a digital drive accessory for AC and DC drives that will accept 3-wire potentiometer input.

The DP4 is a digital potentiometer that is programmable and easy to read thanks to the 4 digit 1/2" LED display. The operator can adjust speeds in units directly related to the operation; conveyor FPM, pump GPM, 0-100%, etc.

The included gasket, when installed in a properly rated enclosure/panel with the DP4, will handle direct water washdown!

For regenerative drives the Dart Controls DP4 supports controlling both speed and direction via its output to the drive.

Two reasons customers use the Dart Controls DP4 is the repeatable settings and to improve the appearance/operation of their equipment.

Question:  I have a single phase 120volt AC motor and I need a variable speed motor drive, can you get me one?

Answer:  “No drive for you!”  But don’t fear!  Even though a drive like that doesn't exist, Marshall Wolf Automation has a solution via variable speed drive with a DART brand controller.  These nice little speed controllers will control your single phase motors in either 120v or 240v. 

All models feature single-phase AC input and fully variable AC output. The enclosed version comes with a rugged housing, power on/off switch, power on indicator lamp, front access fuse, as well as convenient input and output cords and plugs.

The heart of the control is a triac fired in a manner to adjust phase and thereby vary speed.  The 55/57ACSeries is designed to work with shaded pole, permanent split capacitor, universal motors or any resistive load. It is not designed for capacitor start motors.

• Variable AC voltage supply
• Available in 120VAC single phase input or 240VAC single phase input
• Choose chassis style or enclosed
• Enclosed version comes with rugged housing, power on/off switch, power on indicator lamp, front access fuse and convenient input/output cords and plugs
• All models feature single phase AC input and fully variable AC output
• Temperature ...-10° to +45° C.

I had a conversation the other day with an enduser regarding a hot tub application. It turns out the enduser mistakenly thought that a TECO Westinghouse JNEV drive would control a single phase motor. Fortunately he understood the misconception in how a high performance AC frequency drive works.  We then discussed the correct item for his application, which is the Dart 55 AC speed controller designed specifically for single phase motors. 

All models feature single-phase AC input and fully variable AC output. The enclosed version comes with a rugged housing, power on/off switch, power on indicator lamp, front access fuse, as well as convenient input and output cords and plugs.

I was talking to a client the other day, and they had inherited a 90 VDC gear-motor but didn't have a speed controller that typically accompanies a DC gear motor like that design.  Evidently it came from existing warehouse stock and the maintenance department was told to use it "because there's not much left in the budget for the year".  Well with that comment we needed to find a reasonable priced controller for the 1.0 HP DC gear motor, that is where the Dart Controls 250 Series comes into play.  This controller offers superb flexibility, reliability, and value. A general purpose, economical control rated to 2 horsepower, it provides the ultimate in standard features and versatility including:

• dual voltage (120/240 VAC)
• adjustable H.P. settings
• packaged power bridge
• barrier terminal strip
• fully rated, no auxiliary heatsink required
• chassis or NEMA 4/12 enclosure

Many options further extend the 250's capabilities. A logical, easily accessible layout simplifies installation and adjustment. Clean design, quality components and careful assembly are trademarks of Dart Controls.

So in the end they selected model #: 253G-200E which features a enclosed chassis with a NEMA 4/12 rated enclosure. This unit can be had for under $ 270.00.  This fell within the budget and got the client out of a pinch.  If you find yourself in a pinch and need a speed controller like this, consider the DART line of AC/DC speed controllers.
