  • Page 2: Quick Start Guide

    Quick Start Guide Quick Start Guide Always read the full instruction manual before using iDrive. This quick start guide is to assist in installing and running the iDrive to verify that the iDrive and motor are working properly. Starting, stopping and speed control will be from the keypad.
  • Page 3 Step 3 - Check low speed motor rotation direction without load from keypad. (See keypad diagram on previous page) Press RUN/STOP key. 7-segment display will indicates 00.0 to 05.0. This number is the frequency output value. The display will now become solid (not blinking) because the inverter output is ON.

    The model and capacity of the inverter is the same as those specified on your order. Is there any damage caused during transportation? If so, do not apply power. Contact IMO distributor or authorised sales representative if any of the above are found to be incorrect..

  • Page 7: Chapter 1 ~ Safety Precautions

    Chapter 1 Safety Precautions Chapter 1 ~ Safety Precautions 1.1 Operating Precautions 1.1.1 Before Power Up Caution The line voltage applied must comply with the iDrive’s specified input voltage. Danger Make sure the main circuit connections are correct. L1(L), L2, and L3(N) are power-input terminals and must not be confused with T1, T2 and T3.

  • Page 8: During Power Up

    Chapter 1 Safety Precautions 1.1.2 During Power up Danger The iDrive still has control power if the time of power loss is very short. When the power is re-applied, the inverter operation is controlled by parameter b31. The iDrive operation is controlled by parameters A00, b31, b32 and b33 and the status of any FWD/REV RUN switch.

  • Page 9: During Operation

    Chapter 1 Safety Precautions 1.1.5 During operation Danger Do not connect or disconnect the motor while iDrive is operating otherwise the inverter and/or the disconnecting device may be damaged by the high level of switch-off current. Danger To avoid electric shock, do not remove the front cover when power is on. After a power-loss (under-volt) trip occurs, the motor will restart automatically when power is restored if auto-restart function is set.
