MOVING ROTATING PARTS
During start-up and while the motor is in operation, the customer is responsible for taking precaution to avoid accidental contact
with the rotating parts.
Proceed as follows to start up the motor:
1-
Start-up the drive auto-tuning procedure so that it can recognise the motor (see drive documentation for more details).
2-
If the auto-tuning procedure is completed successfully, start the motor rotating at low speed. Check that the motor works
satisfactorily, the excitation current is as specified and there are no strange noises or vibrations.
3-
Gradually increase speed to rated values.
4-
Check that the manifold switches cleanly and evenly

After several hours in operation, check that the thermal behaviour of the motor corresponds to the motor service type. If
in doubt, please contact VASCAT.
