This will then run the tests as per Table 20 (below).

* Consult Curtis to use a sin/cos sensor for induction motors.
The motor setup warning will clear when slip gain and base speed have both been manually set.

Note: (1) This step runs faster if TACT is not running.
(2) If the motor starts to accelerate then slows down again, you may need to increase Max
Test Current (see Step 5, above):
Programmer: Motor Setup » Induction Motor (ACIM) » Characterization Tests » Max Test Current.
Parameter Change Fault. This is normal. Check whether other faults are present.
If there are any Characterization Error faults, read the number at System Monitor » Fault
History » Motor_Characterization_Fault_Type (i.e., Motor Characterization Error, flash
code 8-7) and reference the Motor Characterization Errors, Table 21. Table 21 includes
the Parameter Mismatch fault list, for immediate reference for clearing faults that prevent a
successful motor commission.
All errors except "81" indicate the motor characterization data is invalid. For error "81, " the
data is valid but Encoder Steps must be set manually. Contact your Curtis distributor or support
engineer if the Motor Characterization Errors indicated cannot be resolved.
Programmer: System Monitor » Fault History » Motor_Characterization_Fault_Type.
