- HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES PRESENT.
- FOLLOW AND SAFETY CODES. POWERING THE TM3.
- The TM5 depicted is for 115V line voltage (other line cord/voltage options are available).
- Recommended Wiring Wire Size 1.3 mm2 (16AWG), Conformity UL /
- ALIX SUPPLY (Control Supply) AC output voltage is always the same as the AC input Voltage.
AC Power Input
DANGER: The voltage from this product can kill you. To decrease the risk of electrical shock, injury, and death, you must obey the precautions that follow.
- The AC Power inlet power connection is the Mains disconnect.
- Make sure that the applied AC voltage matches the voltage listed on the rating tag.
- Before you connect wires to this product, disconnect the electrical power.
- Make sure that all components are grounded correctly and that they obey the local electrical safety requirements.
Supply AC power to the TM5 through the AC inlet located next to the power switch/circuit breaker. Use the standard line cord that is supplied with the transformer module. The AC power input ratings are listed on the power label on the TM5 transformer module.
Power Output Connections (TB1-TB4)
- Each output connector provides two supply sources: a Main Supply output and an Aux Supply output.
- The MAIN SUPPLY output is an application-dependent AC or DC voltage. The output is designed to be connected to the Motor Supply connection of an Aerotech controller. The MAIN SUPPLY is normally referenced to ground. A fuse in the TM5 primary circuit provides short circuit protection for the MAIN SUPPLY output.
The AUX SUPPLY output is an application-dependent AC or DC voltage. The output is designed to be connected to the Control Supply connection of an Aerotech controller. AUX SUPPLY outputs that are configured for off-line AC power are protected by a switch/circuit breaker. This is the green rocker-switch located on the front panel near the AC power inlet. For operation instructions, refer to Section 1.3. Operation.
- For 100 & 115 V configurations, the switch/circuit breaker is a 10 A rated part.
- For 200 & 230 V configurations, the switch/circuit breaker is a 5 A rated part.
AUX SUPPLY outputs that are configured for DC power are protected by fuses in the primary circuit of the TM5 transformer module.

Operation
DANGER: The voltage from this product can kill you. To decrease the risk of electrical shock, injury, and death, you must obey the precautions that follow.
- The AC Power inlet power connection is the Mains disconnect.
- Make sure that the applied AC voltage matches the voltage listed on the rating tag.
- Before you connect wires to this product, disconnect the electrical power.
- Make sure that all components are grounded correctly and that they obey the local electrical safety requirements.
When power is applied to the transformer box and the power switch is in the ON position the Green power switch will be illuminated. The power switch can also be left in the ON position and the power to the transformer module can be turned ON and OFF remotely.
Chapter 2: Maintenance
IMPORTANT: For your own safety and for the safety of the equipment:
- Do not remove the cover of the TM5
- Do not attempt to access the internal components.
DANGER: If you must remove the covers and access any internal components be aware of the risk of electric shock.
- Disconnect the Mains power connection.
- Wait at least one (1) minute after removing the power supply before doing maintenance or an inspection. Otherwise, there is the danger of electric shock.
- All tests must be done by an approved service technician. Voltages inside the controller and at the input and output power connections can kill you.
Table 1-9: Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Possible Cause and Solution |
| No output power | The TM5 might not be receiving input power.
If the power switch is illuminated, check the state of the F1 fuse. |
| Power switch will not stay on | There could be an overload or short on output.
|
| Output turns off after TM5 unexpectedly | The transformer inside the chassis could be too hot. This could mean that the air flow to or through the chassis is inadequate or that the power rating of the transformer has been exceeded.
Make sure that:
|
| F1 fuse opens |
|
| There is no +24 Volt output | Make sure that +24V supply is not overloaded or shorted (disconnect the +24V connector to check). |
Fuse Replacement
The TM5 transformer Module contains one user replaceable fuse (F1) located on the primary circuit of the transformer module and functions to protect the transformer against shorts and severe overloads on the transformer output (Main Supply outputs). This fuse must be a Slow Blow fuse in order to handle the high inrush currents when the TM5 is turned on. The current rating of the fuse is determined by the TM5 configuration.
Table 1-10: TM5 Fuse Replacement Part Numbers
| Fuse | Configuration | Third Party P/N | Aerotech P/N | Size |

Preventative Maintenance
DANGER: The voltage from this product can kill you. To decrease the risk of electrical shock, injury, and death, you must obey the precautions that follow.
- Restrict access to the transformer module when it is connected to a power source.
- Before you do maintenance to the equipment, disconnect the electrical power.
- Before you connect wires to this product, disconnect the electrical power.
Do an inspection of the TM5 and the external wiring one time each month. It might be necessary to do more frequent inspections based on:
- The operating conditions of the system.
- How you use the system.
Table 1-11: Preventative Maintenance
| Check | Action to be Taken |
|
Repair all damaged parts. |
| Do an inspection of the cooling vents. | Remove all material that collected in the vents. |
| Examine the work area to make sure there are no fluids and no electrically conductive materials. | Do not let fluids and electrically conductive material go into the TM5. |
| Examine all cables and connections to make sure they are correct. |
|
Cleaning
Use a clean, dry, soft cloth to clean the TM5. If necessary, use a cloth that is moist with water or isopropyl alcohol. If you use a moist cloth, make sure that moisture does not go into the transformer module. Also make sure that it does not go onto the outer connectors and components. Internal contamination from the cleaning solution can cause corrosion and electrical short circuits.
Do not clean the labels with a cleaning solution because it might remove the label information.
