GE Industrial Solutions AF-600 FP Redundant Drive Panels - Manual (Page 7)

DEH40632 AN 12-1007, Rev.03, 04/04/2012
AF-600 Redundant Drive Panels require no additional signal wiring to
operate properly. Additional signal interfacing to your control panel can
be accomplished through the panel mounted customer terminal board
“CTB1”. Please reference the appropriate customer interface diagram for
signal interfacing to your control panel. Torque values for connecting to
“CTB1” are located in the Appendices.
If your application requires wiring to the AF-600 FP inverter I/O control
terminal board, use 16 to 18 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) 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.
