Unpacking, Inspecting, and Storing
Testing the Unit
Drives are burned-in and individually tested before they leave the factory. However, damage may occur
during shipping. Perform the procedures below to ensure the OMNIDRIVE is operational and undamaged.
Abbreviated directions for connecting the drive to a motor and a PC are provided.
The test requires:
•
Approximately 20 minutes to complete
•
A motor with appropriate power and encoder cables
•
A PC with the OMNI LINK software package installed
•
An RS-232 communications cable
•
A single phase 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source. Standard wall outlet power is suit-
able for verification testing of OMNIDRIVEs.
•
A test cable constructed from two normally open switches, several pieces of 1.5 mm
2
(16 AWG) wire and a mating connector.
During the test, power is removed several times. Always neasure the DC bus voltage to verify the bus
capacitors are fully discharged, or wait for the time indicated in the warning on the front of the drive. The
bus capacitors must be fully discharged for the subsequent steps to be valid.
If problems are encountered during this procedure, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 11-3, review other
appropriate sections in this manual, or call your local Thomson Industries distributor.

WARNING
Perform the initial power-up with the motor shaft disconnected from a load and
the shaft key removed. Improper wiring or undiscovered shipping damage could
result in undesired motor motion. Be prepared to remove power if excessive
motion occurs.
