Checking the Direction of Motor Rotation

The VSM500 unit is shipped with the forward direction defined as counterclockwise
(CCW) shaft rotation as viewed from the motor shaft end. If this is appropriate for your
application, go to section 9.3, Attaching the Cover.

If this is not appropriate for your application, do one of the following:

Change the direction by using the Forward / Reverse input to select the appropriate
direction.

-or-

Change the definition of forward and reverse by swapping the U/T1 and W/T3
connectors as shown in figure 9.1.

Attaching the Cover

The cover can be rotated 180

°

to allow the display and local operator controls to be in

the correct orientation regardless of the mounting position. Before attaching the cover,
determine the proper cover orientation. If the cover must be rotated, follow the
procedure in section 9.3.1.

Before reattaching the cover, be sure the display board ribbon cable is securely
connected, then position the cover and tighten the screws. The tightening torque limit
for the cover screws is 1.3 to 1.7 Nm (11 to 15 in-lb). Verify that all four screws are
securely tightened before applying power.
