6.9 Test Run
After you use the Setup Wizard to set the basic parameters and Auto-Tune the drive, the next step is to do a test run.
WARNING! Crush Hazard. Test the system to make sure that the drive operates safely after you wire the drive and set parameters.
If you do not test the system, it can cause damage to equipment or serious injury or death.
◆
No-Load Test Run
Before connecting the motor to the machine, make sure that you check the operation status of the motor.
