Prepare For Drive Start-Up

shock hazard ATTENTION: Power must be applied to the drive to perform the following start-up procedures. Some of the voltages present are at incoming line potential. To avoid electric shock hazard or damage to equipment, only qualified service personnel should perform the following procedure. Thoroughly read and understand the procedure before beginning. If an event does not occur while performing this procedure, Do Not Proceed. Remove All Power including user supplied control voltages. User supplied voltages may exist even when main AC power is not applied to the drive. Correct the malfunction before continuing.

Before Applying Power to the Drive

  1. Confirm that all inputs are connected to the correct terminals and are secure.
  2. Verify that AC line power at the disconnect device is within the rated value of the drive.
  3. Verify that any digital control power is 24 volts.
  4. Verify that the Sink (SNK)/Source (SRC) Setup DIP Switch is set to match your control wiring scheme. See "Control Terminal Block" for location.

    The default control scheme is Source (SRC). The Stop terminal is jumpered (I/O Terminals 01 and 11) to allow starting from the keypad. If the control scheme is changed to Sink (SNK), the jumper must be removed from I/O Terminals 01 and 11 and installed between I/O Terminals 01 and 04.
  5. Verify that the Stop input is present or the drive will not start.

    If I/O Terminal 01 is used as a stop input, the jumper between I/O Terminals 01 and 11 must be removed.

Applying Power to the Drive

  1. Apply AC power and control voltages to the drive.
  2. Familiarize yourself with the integral keypad features before setting any Program Group parameters.

If a fault appears on power up, refer to "Fault Codes" for an explanation of the fault code.

Start, Stop, Direction and Speed Control

Factory default parameter values allow the drive to be controlled from the integral keypad. No programming is required to start, stop, change direction and control speed directly from the integral keypad.

To disable reverse operation, see A095 [Reverse Disable].

Changing the Speed Reference of an IP66, NEMA/UL Type 4X rated drive
When a Display Group parameter, for example, d001 [Output Freq] is displayed, and P038 [Speed Ref] is set to A069 [Internal Freq], you can change the internal frequency using the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys.

When the internal frequency is being adjusted, its value is displayed and the Hertz LED flashes. Any changes are saved immediately. The display then returns to the Display Group parameter previously shown.
TIP: By default, the speed reference of an IP66, NEMA/UL Type 4X rated drive is set to the internal frequency, A069 [Internal Freq].
TIP: You can also change the speed reference by editing the parameter A069 [Internal Freq] in program mode. For details on how to enter the program mode, see the section, "Viewing and Editing Parameters."
The default value of A069 [Internal Freq] is 0 Hz. For IP20 rated PowerFlex 40 drives, the default value of this parameter is 60 Hz.

Viewing and Editing Parameters

The last user-selected Display Group parameter is saved when power is removed and is displayed by default when power is reapplied.
The following is an example of basic integral keypad and display functions. This example provides basic navigation instructions and illustrates how to program the first Program Group parameter.

Step Key(s) Example Displays
1 When power is applied, the last user-selected Display Group parameter number is briefly displayed with flashing characters. The display then defaults to that parameter's current value. (Example shows the value of d001 [Output Freq] with the drive stopped.)
2 Press Esc once to display the Display Group parameter number shown on power-up. The parameter number will flash.
3 Press Esc again to enter the group menu. The group menu letter will flash.
4 Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to scroll through the group menu (d, P and A).
5 Press Enter or Sel to enter a group. The right digit of the last viewed parameter in that group will flash.
6 Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to scroll through the parameters that are in the group.
7 Press Enter or Sel to view the value of aparameter. If you do not want to edit the value, press Esc to return to the parameter number.
8 Press Enter or Sel to enter program mode to edit the parameter value. The right digit will flash and the Program LED will illuminate if the parameter can be edited.
9 Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to change the parameter value. If desired, press Sel to move from digit to digit or bit to bit. The digit or bit that you can change will flash.
10 Press Esc to cancel a change. The digit will stop flashing, the previous value is restored and the Program LED will turn off.
Or
Press Enter to save a change. The digit will stop flashing and the Program LED will turn off.
11 Press Esc to return to the parameter list. Continue to press Esc to back out of the programming menu.
If pressing Esc does not change the display, then d001 [Output Frequency] is displayed. Press Enter or Sel to enter the group menu.

The Basic Program Group contains the most commonly changed parameters.

F6 Motor Stalled(1) Increase [Accel Time x] or reduce load so drive output current does not exceed the current set by parameter A089 [Current Limit].
F7 Motor Overload(1) An excessive motor load exists. Reduce load so drive output current does not exceed the current set by parameter P033 [Motor OL Current].
F8 Heatsink OvrTmp(1) Check for blocked or dirty heat sink fins. Verify that ambient temperature has not exceeded 40°C (104°F) for IP 30/NEMA 1/UL Type 1 installations or 50°C (122°F) for Open type installations. Check fan.
F12 HW OverCurrent Check programming. Check for excess load, improper DC boost setting, DC brake volts set too high or other causes of excess current.
F13 Ground Fault Check the motor and external wiring to the drive output terminals for a grounded condition.
F29 Analog Input Loss(1) An analog input is configured to fault on signal loss. A signal loss has occurred.
F33 Auto Rstrt Tries Correct the cause of the fault and manually clear.
F38 Phase U to Gnd Check the wiring between the drive and motor. Check motor for grounded phase. Replace drive if fault cannot be cleared.
F39 Phase V to Gnd
F40 Phase W to Gnd
F41 Phase UV Short Check the motor and drive output terminal wiring for a shorted condition. Replace drive if fault cannot be cleared.
F42 Phase UW Short
F43 Phase VW Short
F48 Params Defaulted The drive was commanded to write default values to EEPROM. Clear the fault or cycle power to the drive. Program the drive parameters as needed.
F63 SW OverCurrent(1) Check load requirements and A098 [SW Current Trip] setting.
F64 Drive Overload Reduce load or extend Accel Time.
F70 Power Unit Cycle power. Replace drive if fault cannot be cleared.
F71 Net Loss The communication network has faulted.
F80 SVC Autotune The autotune function was either cancelled by the user of failed.
F81 Comm Loss If adapter was not intentionally disconnected, check wiring to the port. Replace wiring, port expander, adapters or complete drive as required. Check connection. An adapter was intentionally disconnected. Turn off using A105 [Comm Loss Action].
F100 Parameter Checksum Restore factory defaults.
F122 I/O Board Fail Cycle power. Replace drive if fault cannot be cleared.
  1. Auto-Reset/Run type fault. Configure with parameters A092 and A093.

General Precautions

shock hazard ATTENTION: The drive contains high voltage capacitors which take time to discharge after removal of mains supply. Before working on drive, ensure isolation of mains supply from line inputs [R, S, T (L1, L2, L3)]. Wait three minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.
Darkened display LEDs is not an indication that capacitors have discharged to safe voltage levels.
caution ATTENTION: Equipment damage and/or personal injury may result if parameter A092 [Auto Rstrt Tries] or A094 [Start At PowerUp] is used in an inappropriate application. Do not use this function without considering applicable local, national and international codes, standards, regulations or industry guidelines.
caution ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable frequency AC drives and associated machinery should plan or implement the installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
caution ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing or repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control procedures, reference A-B publication 8000-4.5.2, "Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage" or any other applicable ESD protection handbook.
caution ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors, such as, undersizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient temperatures may result in malfunction of the system.
