Motors can be mounted above the bell (at the same radius from the pivot point) if the weight of the reaction plate is taken into consideration when designing the head stock crank depth. This will also slow the ringing tempo. Do not mount the motors above the pivot on existing cranked head stocks, the bell will not ring properly. | Motors can be mounted above the bell (at the same radius from the pivot point) if the weight of the reaction plate is taken into consideration when designing the head stock crank depth.

The motor should be mounted to a 1/4 to 3/8 inch aluminum plate when possible to serve as a heat sink. The plate can then be spaced out from the frame with threaded rod for positioning toward the reaction plate. | |||
The motor induction housing should be painted with a polyurethane coating for UV resistance when used outside, and can be painted with the tower to match. | The motor induction housing should be painted with a polyurethane coating for UV resistance when used outside, and can be painted with the tower to match. | ||

The MagForce control panel for single phase will have a capacitor on the output between outputs ''U'' and ''V''. If the motor is sized to require an overload protector, the ''L1'' connection to the triac input will be routed in a serpentine fashion through the three overload circuits. This is required to prevent trips caused by the missing phase detection. | The MagForce control panel for single phase will have a capacitor on the output between outputs ''U'' and ''V''.

The right cursor button will take you through the settings for each bell in the system. From the status window, shown below, you can cursor left to select another bell. To change settings you can increment/decrement using the up and down arrow buttons, or input the value with the numeric buttons and save it with the EXE button. | The right cursor button will take you through the settings for each bell in the system.
