10.3 Operating the drive WARNING! PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD RUN is an electronic inhibit function. The field remains energised, and all power terminals ‘live’. During hazardous operations, remove the power source to the system. RUN must not be relied on to ensure the machine is stationary. The motor FIELD output remains energised with RUN open, so please beware of overheating the motor when stopped (does not apply to permanent magnet motors).
10.4 DC Tachogenerator Feedback NOTE: DO NOT use IR compensation with Tachogenerator feedback - set the IR COMP preset fully anti-clockwise. For systems using Tach Feedback, first, measure the full speed tacho voltage while in AVF mode and determine the polarity - the wire to T9 must be negative when the speed demand into T3 is positive: Having measured the Tach voltage at maximum speed, TURN OFF THE POWER.
