Description

Product Description

The 402388-11W (also referenced as 800-1892) is a 10-turn precision potentiometer originally manufactured by Reliance Electric (now part of Allen‑Bradley/Rockwell Automation). It is designed for speed and voltage trimming in industrial drive systems, serving as a critical adjustment component for legacy Variable High Power Systems and UDC (Universal Drive Controller) platforms.

Model Number Interpretation

  • 402388: Base part number for Reliance’s industrial potentiometer series.

  • 11: Indicates 10‑turn mechanical configuration and 2 kΩ resistance value.

  • W: Denotes the specific electrical and mechanical variant for high‑power drive applications.

  • 800-1892: Alternate part number for cross‑reference and replacement purposes.

Technical Specifications

  • Resistance: 2 kΩ, ±10% tolerance.

  • Mechanical Turns: 10 turns (multi‑turn for high resolution).

  • Resistive Element: Carbon composition, low noise, long service life.

  • Voltage Rating: Up to 575 VAC for drive‑level control circuits.

  • Operating Temperature: ‑40°C to +85°C.

  • Dimensions: 79.5 × 114 mm.

  • Mounting: Panel‑mount with standard industrial shaft.

  • Weight: Approximately 0.09 kg (0.2 lbs).

Interface & Communication Configuration

  • Electrical Interface: Three‑terminal connection (wiper and two fixed ends) for variable resistance output.

  • Control Signal: Provides an analog voltage signal proportional to shaft position for speed/voltage reference.

  • Compatibility: Directly compatible with Reliance HR2000, UDC series, and Allen‑Bradley Variable High Power Systems.

  • Communication: No digital communication interface; operates via hardwired analog signals.

Core Functions

  • Precision Adjustment: Enables fine, stable speed and voltage trimming through 10‑turn mechanical adjustment.

  • Signal Regulation: Delivers accurate analog feedback for maintaining drive setpoints in industrial motion control.

  • Legacy System Support: Serves as a drop‑in replacement for original potentiometers in aging Reliance/Allen‑Bradley drive systems.

  • Durable Performance: Carbon element construction ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.

Application Scenarios

  • Reliance HR2000 and UDC Series Drives: Speed reference and voltage trimming for DC and AC drive systems.

  • Allen‑Bradley Variable High Power Systems: Process control and motor speed regulation in heavy‑duty industrial applications.

  • CNC Machine Tools, Packaging Machinery, Conveyor Systems: Precision speed adjustment for synchronized motion control.

  • Legacy Equipment Maintenance: Replacement part for older Reliance drive systems to extend operational life.

Usage & Maintenance Instructions

  • Installation: Mount vertically on control panels or drive fronts; ensure adequate clearance for shaft rotation and ventilation.

  • Wiring: Connect three terminals to drive control circuits per system schematics; verify insulation resistance before power‑on.

  • Operation: Adjust shaft smoothly within 10‑turn range to avoid mechanical damage; monitor output voltage for stability.

  • Maintenance: Perform quarterly inspections to clean dust, check terminal tightness, and verify shaft rotation smoothness.

  • Safety: Disconnect all power sources before maintenance; allow capacitors to discharge fully to prevent electric shock.
