SpaceVector™ Variable Frequency Drives
Congratulations on the purchase of a SpaceVector™ SV200 Series drive. This is the most
advanced drive on the market today specifically designed and programmed for the overhead
material handling industry by the leader in the industry, Columbus McKinnon Corporation.
SpaceVector™ drives have many advantages and features to meet the very specific and
demanding needs of the crane and hoist industry. Features such as:
•
An energy efficient drive, resulting in less heating of the motor.
•
Cooler running motors last longer saving on downtime and maintenance costs.
•
Efficient utilization produces more torque, resulting in better load control.
•
Reduced motor harmonics, which improve motor performance and lengthen life.
•
Easy macro quick set programming for faster start-up and servicing.
•
Plain English programming and service manual saves time.
Before proceeding any further, please read the following important information regarding the
drive and its proper handling and use:
•
Please read this manual completely before working with the drive.
•••••
The drive operates on and contains high voltage that can cause electric shock resulting
in personal injury or loss of life. Handle the drive with the same care and caution as
all other high voltage electrical components.
•••••
Be sure to disconnect all AC input power to the drive before servicing. Lock and tag
the main switch in the de-energized position per ANSI Z 244.1.
•••••
Wait at least 3 minutes after disconnecting the AC input power to the drive. If the bus
capacitor discharge circuit fails, high voltage can remain in the drive for a period of
time after the AC power is disconnected.
•••••
Do not perform high voltage tests such as Megger testing.
•••••
Only qualified personnel should perform service.
•••••
Insure unit is properly grounded.
•••••
Disconnect drive before performing any welding on the bridge crane structure. Do
not weld the hook, to the hook or to a load suspended from the hook.
On the following pages are specification and selection tables for the drives and dynamic braking
resistors. Please check to insure you have the proper equipment for your application.
