GE Industrial Solutions AF-600 FP Fan & Pump Drive (230V to 60HP, 460_575V to 125HP) - Manual (Page 24)

3.2 Applying Power to the Drive
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Frequency converters contain high voltage when
connected to AC mains. Installation, start-up and
maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel
only. Failure to perform installation, start-up and
maintenance by qualified personnel could result in death
or serious injury.
WARNING
UNINTENDED START!
When drive is connected to AC mains, the motor may start
at any time. The drive, motor, and any driven equipment
must be in operational readiness. Failure to be in
operational readiness when the drive is connected to AC
mains could result in death, serious injury, equipment, or
property damage.
1. Confirm input voltage is balanced within 3%. If
not, correct input voltage imbalance before
proceeding. Repeat procedure after voltage
correction.
2. Ensure optional equipment wiring, if present,
matches installation application.
3. Ensure that all operator devices are in the OFF
position. Panel doors closed or cover mounted.
4. Apply power to the unit. DO NOT start the drive
at this time. For units with a disconnect switch,
turn to the ON position to apply power to the
drive.
3.3 Basic Operational Programming
Drives require basic operational programming prior to
running for best performance. Basic operational
programming requires entering motor-nameplate data for
the motor being operated and the minimum and
maximum motor speeds. Enter data in accordance with the
following procedure. Parameter settings recommended are
intended for start up and checkout purposes. Application
settings may vary. See 4 User Interface for detailed
instructions on entering data through the keypad.
Enter data with power ON, but prior to operating the
drive.
1. Press [Quick Menu] on the keypad.
3. Use the navigation keys to scroll to Quick Start
and press [OK].
4. Select language and press [OK]. Then enter the
motor data in parameters P-02, P-03, P-06, P-07,
F-04 and F-05. The information can be found on
the motor nameplate. The entire quick menu is
shown in 5.5.1 Quick Menu Structure
P-07 Motor Power [kW] or P-02 Motor
Power [HP]
F-05 Motor Rated Voltage
F-04 Base Frequency
P-03 Motor Current
P-06 Base Speed
5. F-07 Accel Time 1 is recommended as 60 seconds
for fans or 10 seconds for pumps.
6. F-08 Decel Time 1 is recommended as 60 seconds
for fans or 10 seconds for pumps.
7. For F-10 enter Elec OL Trip 1 for Class 20
overload protection. For further information,
please see 2.4.1 Requirements
8. For F-16 Motor Speed Low Limit [Hz] enter the
application requirements. If these values are
unknown at this time, the following values are
recommended. These values will ensure initial
drive operation. However, take any precautions
necessary to prevent equipment damage. Make
sure that the recommended values are safe to
use for functional testing before starting the
equipment.
Fan = 20Hz
Pump = 20Hz
Compressor = 30Hz
9. In F-15 Motor Speed High Limit [Hz] enter the
motor frequency from F-04 Base Frequency.
This concludes the quick set-up procedure. Press [Status]
to return to the operational display.
In P-04 Auto Tune select Reduced Auto Tune or Full Auto
Tune and follow on-screen instructions. See 3.4 Auto Tune
3.4 Auto Tune
Auto tune is a test procedure that measures the electrical
characteristics of the motor to optimize compatibility
between the drive and the motor.
• The drive builds a mathematical model of the
motor for regulating output motor current. The
procedure also tests the input phase balance of
electrical power. It compares the motor character-
