The SWC-60/SQC-60 simply has to be inserted into the run motor’s supply wires. Desolder run motor’s wires (two pairs red/black in parallel - do not separate them!) from generator’s wire panel and connect to SQC-60 output terminals #3 and #4. Connect 110V 50V input terminals #5 and #6 from SQC-60/SWC-60 to former motor terminals (middle and rightmost of 7 terminals at console organs, seen from behind) on generator’s wire panel. Wire length and polarity is not significant; motor wires may be extended by wires capable of mains voltage only. Use shrink tube for insulation. Connect PE terminal #7 to generator chassis ground and, if present, PE terminal of mains plug. Terminals may be pulled off for easy de-installation or exchange.

117V organs require installation of a 230V/117V step-down/insulation transformer to be used on 230/240V mains. Remove power cabling and old mains plug and replace with IEC socket with proper cabling, including PE (protective earth, green/yellow wire) as shown. Picture also shows use of optional Leslie power relay to power up a 230V Leslie. A 240VA transformer is sufficient for B3- and A-100-type organs. If a 117V leslie is to be powered from organ's step-down transformer, a 400VA type is recommended.

Note that the step-down transformer will be "on" all the time, so an external mains switch may be inserted to conserve power.

If you ground the SWC60/SQC60 and there is a Leslie with the "death caps" .047uF from each side of AC line to ground '''removed''', you will get a bad hum. We would recommend an encapsulated mains line filter (like this one pictured) rated at 3 Amps min. with ground lug connected to organ chassis, inserted into 117V wires from wiring panel to SWC60/SQC60. For Leslies with "death caps" removed, I would also recommend the installation of a line filter into Leslie Amp.

The PCC power conditioner controller unit is an optional accessory for remote controlling of our new series of Power Conditioners SWC-60, SQC-60 and SQC-50 mk3. It has a built-in LCD and rotary encoder for simultaneous transposing/tuning in half note or cent steps, i.e to achieve orchestral tuning. Box is attached by RJ45 patch cable (included) to CTRL connector of SWC-60/SQC-60. Controller box may be mounted in reach of organist by velcro tape.

Press knob to enter transpose mode, indicated by an arrow pointing to NOTE number. Turn encoder knob to change transpose note. Press knob again to activate tuning mode and to go back to locked mode. Setting is saved permanently (even when disconnecting the PCC or power cycling the organ) when locked mode is re-entered.

It is possible to fine tune the organ even when transposed.


The PCC allows transposing of 6 half note steps up or down. Dependant on generator condition, the whole range may not be achieved on particular generators; this is not a fault of SWC-60/SQC-60 nor the PCC. Run motor may stall if range exceeded and organ must be restarted thereafter.
It is possible to fine tune the organ even when transposed. The PCC allows transposing of +4 half note steps up or -3 half note steps down. Please note that vibrato frequency also changes with transposing. Also the organ may sound somewhat dull in extreme transpose positions due to fixed generator filter frequencies.

Deutsche Anleitung: Siehe SWC-60/SQC-60 mk3

Description

Frequency inverter/power conditioner with 60 Hz output, square or sine wave, noiseless. For US Hammonds to be used in Europe (50Hz) or on instable 60 Hz mains (accepts 40 to 400 Hz input), i.e. to stabilize organ tuning on mains from mobile power unit. Unlike the SQC-60 square wave version, the sine converter SWC-60 fits all electromagnetic Hammonds including those with self-starting motors (L-, H-, T-series). The square-output version SQC-60 has less output power, it fits all Hammond organs with start/run motor (A-/B-/C-series, M-series).

Combined with our optional controller unit the device offers tuning in cent or half note steps.

Crystal stabilized circuit, no deviation from set frequency. Simple installation, is looped into wires to run motor. Unique soft-start technology ensures proper starting even with weak start motors on 50 Hz mains: Frequency is raised smoothly from 50 to 60 Hz on start-up and locked.

Relay output (up to 10A/230V) to power up a Leslie along with organ.

Step-down transformer 230V/117V for organ required (not included) for use in Europe (230V mains). Recommended power rating 160 VA (organ) or 400 VA (organ and Leslie).

Installation

PLEASE NOTE: Soldering skills required. Installation requires authorized technician. Disconnect organ from mains before installation or changing fuse (pull mains plug).

If you ground the SWC60/SQC60 and there is a Leslie with the "death caps" .047uF from each side of AC line to ground removed, you will get a bad hum. We would recommend an encapsulated mains line filter (like this one pictured) rated at 3 Amps min. with ground lug connected to organ chassis, inserted into 117V wires from wiring panel to SWC60/SQC60.
