3. Verify that the Active Damping Rotary Switch is at Zero
4. Calculate the Maximum Rotary Switch Setting
To do this, first calculate your system inertia. Be sure to include the motor's rotor inertia. Then
consult the table of inertia ranges below. Find the switch setting that corresponds to your system
inertia.

Active Damping Rotary Switch Settings & Corresponding Inertia Ranges
This is your Maximum switch setting. If you are on the boundary between two switch settings, pick
the lower of the two numbers. In the rest of this procedure never set the switch higher than this
maximum setting.
5. Make a Move With Active Damping Turned Off
(Rotary switch should be in the zero position.) This is your baseline move. Notice the sound, amount
of motor vibration, etc. This move shows how your system operates with anti-resonance enabled, and
active damping disables. Each time you adjust this switch, you will compare results with this baseline
move.
The move should be representative of your application, with similar velocity and acceleration. The
speed must be faster than 3 rps, in order for the drive to activate anti-resonance or active damping.
