STEP 1: Check the contents of the box Check you have all the components and your drive has not been damaged during transportation. SAFETY KIT BOX* INFORMATION STEP BY STEP GUIDE * With frame size 7 to 11, surface mounting brackets are also supplied with the drive. STEP 2: Check model and voltage The model number can be found on the identification label on the top of the drive.
STEP 3: Mount the drive The drive should be mounted in an ambient temperature range of - 20 °C to 55 °C (- 4 °F to 131 °F). Output current derating may be required at ambient temperatures > 40 °C (104 °F). Refer to the H300 User Guide (section 5).
STEP 4: Select supply / motor cables and fuses The supply/motor cables and fuses or MCB’s used should follow the ratings provided in the table below: The voltage rating of fuses must be greater than or equal to the highest supply voltage of the system. Fuses: The AC supply to the drive must be installed with suitable protection against overload.

STEP 5: Remove the finger guard breakouts Removing the finger-guard break-outs A: Size 3 to 11 B: Size 5 only C: Size 6 only D: Size 7 to 11 Place finger-guard on a flat solid surface and hit relevant break-outs with hammer as shown (1). For sizes 7 to 9 pliers can be used to remove the break-outs, grasp the relevant break-out with the pliers and twist it as shown (3).
STEP 6: Wire the drive up This step covers connection of input power connection L1,L2, and L3 including the ground terminals, motor phases U V W and the control terminals. The tools required for this are terminal screwdriver, flat screwdriver, M7, M8, M10 and M17 sockets T20 and T25 driver.

STEP 7: Use the keypad The keypad display provides information to the user regarding the operating status of the drive, alarms and trip codes. The keypad buttons provide a means for changing parameters, stopping and starting the drive, and the ability to perform a drive reset. Keypad key identifier 1.
Hand / Off / Auto Hand / Off / Auto functions are enabled if Pr 1.052 is set to a non-zero value, otherwise the keypad buttons are allocated as follows: • Blue - Forward/Reverse AUTO • Green - Run • - Reset When Hand / Off / Auto functions are enabled (Pr 1.052 set to either 1, 2 or 3), then the keypad buttons will be allocated as follows:...

The drive is able to perform either a stationary or a rotating Autotune autotune. The motor must be at a standstill before an autotune is enabled. A rotating autotune should be used whenever possible so the measured value of power factor of the motor is used by the drive.

RFC - A Sensorless To run the H300 Drive in RFC-A mode will require a mode change as the factory defaults are set for Open Loop Induction Motor. Changing the operating mode Changing the operating mode returns all parameters to their default value, including the motor parameters.
Page 31
Action Detail The drive is able to perform either a stationary or a rotating autotune. The motor must be at a standstill before an autotune is enabled. A stationary autotune will give moderate performance whereas a rotating autotune will give improved performance as it measures the actual values of the motor parameters required by the drive.
Page 32
Run a Permanent-magnet motor in closed-loop sensorless (RFC-S) To run the H300 Drive in RFC-S mode will require a mode change as the factory defaults are set for Open Loop Induction Motor. Before powering up the drive open the Enable/ Safe Torque Off input T29, and all run signals, so that the drive powers up in the Inhibit State.

Additional Information Restoring drive defaults Restoring parameter defaults by this method saves the default values in the drives memory. User security status (00.031) and User security code (00.030) are not affected by this procedure). Procedure 1. Ensure the drive is not enabled, i.e. terminal 29 is open or Pr 06.015 is OFF (0) 2.
