4.2 Applying Power to the Adjustable Frequency Drive

WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Adjustable frequency drives contain high voltage when
connected to AC line power. Installation, start-up and
maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel
only. Failure to perform installation, start-up and
maintenance by qualified personnel could result in death
or serious injury.
WARNING
UNINTENDED START!
When adjustable frequency drive is connected to AC line
power, the motor may start at any time. The drive, motor,
and any driven equipment must be in operational
readiness. Failure to be in operational readiness when the
drive is connected to AC line power could result in death,
serious injury, equipment, or property damage.
1. Confirm input voltage is balanced within 3%. If
not, correct input voltage imbalance before
proceeding. Repeat procedure after voltage
correction.
2. Ensure optional equipment wiring, if present,
matches installation application.
3. Ensure that all operator devices are in the OFF
position. Panel doors closed or cover mounted.
4. Apply power to the unit. DO NOT start the drive
at this time. For units with a disconnect switch,
turn to the ON position to apply power to the
drive.

4.3 Basic Operational Programming

Adjustable frequency drives require basic operational
programming prior to running for best performance. Basic
operational programming requires entering motor
nameplate data for the motor being operated and the
minimum and maximum motor speeds. Enter data in
accordance with the following procedure. Parameter
settings recommended are intended for start-up and
checkout purposes. Application settings may vary. See
5 User Interface for detailed instructions on entering data
through the Keypad.
Enter data with power ON, but prior to operating the
adjustable frequency drive.
1. Press [Quick Menu] on the Keypad.
2. Use the navigation keys to scroll to Quick Start
and press [OK].

4.4 Auto Tune

Auto tune is a test procedure that measures the electrical
characteristics of the motor to optimize compatibility
between the drive and the motor.

Select language and press [OK]. Then enter the
motor data in parameters P-02, P-03, P-06, P-07,
F-04 and F-05. The information can be found on
the motor nameplate.
P-07 Motor Power [kW] or P-02 Motor

F-05 Motor Rated Voltage
F-04 Base Frequency
P-03 Motor Current
P-06 Base Speed
Enter 3-15 Reference Resource 1 and press [OK].
Enter 3-13 Reference Site. Local, Remote, or Linked
to Hand/Auto. In local, the reference is entered
on the keypad, and in remote, that reference is
sourced depending on .
Enter the accel/decel time in 3-41 Ramp 1 Ramp
up Time and 3-42 Ramp 1 Ramp Down Time.
For 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection enter Elec OL
Trip 1 for Class 20 overload protection. For
further information, please see 3.4.1 Requirements.
For 4-13 Motor Speed High Limit [RPM] or
4-14 Motor Speed High Limit [Hz], enter the
application requirements.
For 4-11 Motor Speed Low Limit [RPM] or
4-12 Motor Speed Low Limit [Hz], enter the
application requirements.
Set 4-10 Motor Speed Direction to Clockwise,
Counterclockwise or Both directions.
In 1-29 Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA), select
Reduced Auto Tune or Full Auto Tune and follow
on-screen instructions. See 4.4 Auto Tune
The drive builds a mathematical model of the
motor for regulating output motor current. The
procedure also tests the input phase balance of
electrical power. It compares the motor character-
istics with the data entered in parameters P-0#.
It does not cause the motor to run or harm to
the motor
