If you are an experienced user of Baldor controls, you are probably already familiar with
the keypad programming and keypad operation methods. If so, this quick start guide has
been prepared for you. This procedure will help get your system up and running in the
keypad mode quickly and will allow motor and control operation to be verified. This
procedure assumes that the Control, Motor and Dynamic Brake hardware are correctly
installed (see Section 3 for procedures) and that you have an understanding of the
keypad programming & operation procedures. It is not necessary to wire the terminal
strip to operate in the Keypad mode (Section 3 describes terminal strip wiring
procedures). The quick start procedure is as follows:
1. Read the Safety Notice and Precautions in section 2 of this manual.
2. Mount the control. Refer to Section 3, "Physical Location" procedure.
3. Connect AC power. Refer to Section 3 "AC Line Connections".
4. Connect the motor. Refer to Section 3, "Motor Connections".
5. Install Dynamic brake hardware, if required. Refer to Section 3,
"Optional Dynamic Brake Hardware".
6. Plug in the keypad. Refer to Section 3, "Keypad Installation" procedure.
Check of electrical items.
1. Verify AC line voltage at source matches control rating.
2. Inspect all power connections for accuracy, workmanship and tightness as well
as compliance to codes.
3. Verify control and motor are grounded to each other and the control is
connected to earth ground.
4. Check all signal wiring for accuracy.
5. Be certain all brake coils, contactors and relay coils have noise suppression.
This should be an R-C filter for AC coils and reverse polarity diodes for DC
coils. MOV type transient suppression is not adequate.
Check of Motors and Couplings
1. Verify freedom of motion of motor shaft.
2. Verify that the motor coupling is tight without backlash.
3. Verify the holding brakes if any, are properly adjusted to fully release and set to
the desired torque value.
