Drive Set-Up
IMPORTANT
You must not exceed the maximum drive and motor ratings. Refer to the Product Code or rating label,
and the motor rating plate
The instructions are written in logical order. Complete each stage successfully before progressing to the next.
This simple start-up routine assumes that:
•
The Drive is direct from the factory and thus using all factory default settings
•
You know how to operate and navigate the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) – display
•
The drive's control terminals are wired as shown in the Installation diagram
•
This simple set-up uses ARMATURE VOLTAGE (default setting) as the speed feedback method
1: Pre-Operation Checks
Completely disconnect the drive before point-to-point checking with a buzzer, or when checking insulation with a Megger.
Prepare to energise the drive and system as follows:
•
ISOLATE THE DRIVE
using branch circuit protection or circuit breaker (
8
)
•
Disconnect the load from the motor shaft, if possible
•
If there is any doubt about the integrity of a
particular installation, insert a high wattage resistor,
i.e. fire elements, in series with the motor armature
Initial checks before applying power:
•
Mains power supply voltage is correct for drive
•
Motor vent fan is connected correctly for direction of
rotation
•
Auxiliary power supply voltage is correct for drive
and integral fans (110A-270A)
•
Motor is of correct armature voltage and current rating
•
Check for damage to equipment
•
Check that cooling fans are intact and free from
obstruction (110A-270A)
•
Check all external wiring circuits - power, control,
motor and earth connections
•
Check for loose ends, clippings, drilling swarf etc. lodged in the Drive and system
Ensure the safety of the complete system before the drive is energised:
•
Ensure that rotation of the motor in either direction will
not cause damage or injury
•
Ensure that other equipment will not be adversely
affected by powering up
•
Ensure that nobody else is working on another part of the system which will be affected by powering up
