Functional Proof Testing 
Without a Test Fixture
Follow these steps to test the ATEX safety function without a test fixture.
1. Wire the ATEX daughter card to the thermal sensor in the motor.
2. Power-up the drive.
3. Verify that no faults exist.
4. Remove power from the drive and verify that the voltage on the bus 
capacitors has discharged.
5. Unplug the ATEX terminal plug from the ATEX daughter board.
6. Power-up the drive.
If the ATEX safety function is operating correctly, an over temperature 
fault is enunciated.
7. If a safety card is present, check parameter 933 [Start Inhibits] and verify
that bit 2 [Enabled] and bit 7 [Safety] are set to high.
8. Remove power from the drive and verify that the voltage on the bus
capacitors has discharged (see
9. Reinstall the ATEX terminal plug.
10. Power-up the drive and verify that the over temperature fault can now be
cleared.
If the SSM option is present additional steps are required. See
Drive after an SSM Fault Detection on page 27
.
ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on the 
bus capacitors has discharged completely before performing any service.
Frames 1…7: Measure the DC bus voltage at the power terminal block by 
measuring between the +DC and -DC terminals or between the +DC and -DC test 
points if equipped. Also measure between the +DC terminal or test point and the 
chassis and between the -DC terminal or test point and the chassis. The voltage 
must be zero for all three measurements.
Frames 8…10: Measure the DC bus voltage at the DC+ and DC- test point sockets 
on the front of the power module.
See the PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Installation Instructions, publication
, for the location of the terminal block and test point sockets.
