Avoid routing signal wiring with power wiring. If signal wiring is routed with control
wiring a minimum separation of one (1) inch is required.
AF-650 GP Panels require no additional signal wiring to operate properly. Additional
control interfacing to your Bypass & Non Bypass panels can be accomplished through
the panel mounted customer terminal board “CTB”. Please reference the appropriate
wiring diagram. Torque values for connecting to “CTB” are located in the Appendices.
If your application requires wiring to the AF-650 GP inverter I/O control terminal board,
use 20 to 28 AWG wire.
Connections on the inverter I/O terminal board should be tight enough such that a
slight tug on the wire will not result in the wire coming partially or completely out of the
terminal board.
MISCELLANEOUS
INFORMATION
Refer Appendix B (Table A, B and C) for estimated watts loss of the panel.
If your enclosure is equipped with forced ventilation for keeping the inverter and other
components within their thermal recommendations, the cooling fan(s) used to ventilate
your enclosure also need to be cleaned periodically. Cleaning the cooling fan(s) is
recommended to keep the proper amount of air circulating through the enclosure.
GE Drives recommends that all power connections be checked for proper tightness
every 6 months due to thermal cycling that may occur during normal operation.
INSPECTION #2
Prior to start-up of your drive panel inspect the following:
The mechanical installation for any safety and local or national code violation.
The electrical installation for proper connections and any violation of local or
national code.
Proper grounding of equipment.
All field wiring for tight and proper connections (no split wire ends that may come in
contact with adjacent connection points).
No loose hardware, metal shavings, or wiring chips.
All factory wiring for proper tightness that may have became loose due to shipping
vibration.

CAUTION: Do not over-tighten terminal board connectors, damage to the
equipment may occur.
CAUTION: Input pressure must be dry air or inert gases only. Any other pressure
media will damage the transducer.
