Drive Setup and Adjustment

DANGER

Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction and operation of this equipment and
the hazards involved should install, adjust, operate and/or service this equipment. Read and
understand this section in its entirety before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in bodily injury or loss of life.

4.1

Introduction

This section details the setup and adjustment of the drive. Record final settings in Table 4.1.

4.2

Test Equipment Needed

CAUTION

Do not use a megohmmeter for continuity checks in the drive. The high voltage of the megohmmeter
can damage the drive's electronic circuits. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage
to, or destruction of, the equipment.

A volt-ohmmeter having a sensitivity of 20,000 ohms per volt may be used.

4.3

Power Off Inspection

Inspect the Drive and modification kits for possible physical damage or improper connections.

Verify that the wiring of the operator's station and the wiring to the Drive is made with sufficient
bare wire to make a good electrical connection. The removal of an excessive length of
insulation may needlessly expose conductors resulting in the possibility of shorts or safety
hazards.

4.4

Motor Ground Check

CAUTION:

A megohmmeter can be used for this motor ground check, but all conductors between the motor and
the drive must be disconnected. The megohmmeter’s high voltage can damage the drive's electronic
circuits. Disconnect all conductors between the motor and the drive before using a megohmmeter for
this motor ground check. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to, or destruction
of, the equipment.

The DC Motor frame and conduit box should be connected to a good earth ground per the
motor instruction manual.

Verify that there is no path to ground in either the D-C Motor armature circuit, the shunt field
circuit or the thermostat circuit. Connect one lead of a standard ohm reading meter to the motor
frame and the other lead to the two armature leads, then to the two field leads and to the two
thermostat leads. If a reading of less than 100,000 ohms is observed, a ground condition exists
and MUST be corrected before power is applied.
