IMPULSE
•G+/VG+ Series 5 Variable Frequency Drive
®
Quick Start Guide
OVERVIEW
This procedure is a supplement to other documentation for the
IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 5 variable frequency drive (VFD). This
guide details the installation and setup of the VFD.
Before using the VFD-controlled equipment, the operator shall
read the operating manual of the hoisting machine, shall be
trained, and understand the hazards of operating of cranes, hoists,
or lifting devices.
DANGER! DANGEROUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT
WHEN VFD IS ON. Improper wiring can cause bodily
harm and damage to the equipment. Before applying
power to the IMPULSE•G+/VG+ Series 5, ensure the pro-
tective covers are fastened and wiring connections are
secure. After power has been turned OFF, wait at least 5
minutes until the charge indicator extinguishes com-
pletely before commissioning the VFD.
When installing the VFD, follow the required wiring practices and
all applicable codes. Ensure that the mounting of components is
secure and that the environment, such as extreme dampness, poor
ventilation, etc., will not cause system degradation.
Read this document thoroughly before attempting installation.
Refer to the technical manual for circuit protection and wiring
recommendations, available at: www.cmco.com/magnetek
