21 Operation
Startup and shutdown
To start the drive:
1. Set the speed adjust potentiometer for zero speed, or the
reference voltage to zero, if in voltage follower mode.
2. Apply AC line voltage.
3. Slowly turn the speed adjust potentiometer clockwise or
counterclockwise to rotate the motor in the forward or reverse
direction. If in voltage follower mode, increase reference
voltage in the positive or negative direction. Continue until the
desired speed is reached.
4. To decelerate the motor from set speed to a stop, reset the
speed adjust potentiometer for zero speed. If in voltage follower
mode, decrease reference voltage to zero. To coast the motor
from set speed to a stop, remove AC line voltage from the drive.
If the motor or drive does not perform as described, disconnect the
AC line voltage immediately. Refer to the Troubleshooting section
for further assistance.
