SECTION 2 EXPRESS START UP
The following instructions define the minimum steps necessary to make
your
Drive
operational.
Always disconnect the power to the unit before connecting
or disconnecting the motor leads. FAILURE TO DO THIS
WILL RESULT IN A SHOCK HAZARD AND MAY DAMAGE
THE DRIVE.
Always operate the unit with the Motor and the Drive
enclosure GROUNDED. Be sure to twist together the wires
for each motor phase as well as those for the DC input. Six
twists per foot (0.3 m) is a good guideline.
1. Check to see that the motor used is compatible with the drive. Refer to
Section 4.4 for a list of compatible motors.
2. Set the correct current level for the motor being used per the instruc-
tions in Section 4.5.
Heat sinking may be required to maintain case
temperature below +70
°
C (+158
°
F)
.
3. Select the appropriate step resolution and set the switches as described
in Section 4.7.
4. Wire the motor per the "Motor Connections" description in Section 3.2.
5. Connect the power source to the DC input terminal strip. Be sure to
follow the instructions for connecting the filter capacitor as described in
Section 3.2, under Power Input.
If the motor operates erratically, refer to Section 5, "Torque
Versus Speed Characteristics".
Clockwise and counter-clockwise directions are properly
oriented when viewing the motor from the end opposite
the mounting flange.
