Quick Start Procedure The following procedure will help get your system up and running in the keypad mode
quickly, and will allow you to prove the motor and control operation. This procedure
assumes that the Control, Motor and Dynamic Brake hardware are correctly installed (see
Section 3 for procedures) and that you have an understanding of the keypad
programming & operation procedures.
Initial Conditions
Be sure the Control (Physical Installation & AC Line Connections), Motor and Dynamic
Brake hardware are wired according to the procedures in Section 3 of this manual.
Become familiar with the keypad programming and keypad operation of the control as
described in Section 4 of this manual.
WARNING: Make sure that unexpected operation of the motor shaft during start
up will not cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
1. Verify that any enable inputs to J4-8 are open.
2. Turn power on. Be sure no faults are displayed on the keypad display.
3. Set the Level 1 Input block, Operating Mode to “Keypad”.
4. Be sure the Level 2 Protection block, Local Enable INP parameter is OFF and
the Level 2 Protection block, External Trip parameter is OFF.
5. Set the Level 2 Output Limits block, “Operating Zone” parameter as desired
(STD CONST TQ, STD VAR TQ, QUIET CONST TQ or QUIET VAR TQ).
6. Set the Level 2 Output Limits block, “MIN Output FREQ” parameter.
7. Set the Level 2 Output Limits block, “MAX Output FREQ” parameter.
Note: JP1 is in position 2–3 as shipped from the factory (<120Hz operation).
For operation with MAX Output FREQ >120Hz, change the position of
JP1 to pins 1–2. Refer to Section 3 for jumper location.
8. If the desired peak current limit setting is different than is automatically set by
the Operating Zone, set the Level 2 Output Limits block, “PK Current Limit”
parameter as desired.
9. Enter the following motor data in the Level 2 Motor Data block parameters:
Motor Voltage (input)
Motor Rated Amps (FLA)
Motor Rated Speed (base speed)
Motor Rated Frequency
Motor Mag Amps (no load current)
10. If External Dynamic Brake hardware is used, set the Level 2 Brake Adjust
block, “Resistor Ohms” and “Resistor Watts” parameters.
11. Set the Level 1 V/HZ Boost block, “V/HZ Profile” parameter for the correct V/Hz
ratio for your application.
12. If the load is a high initial starting torque type, the torque boost and Accel time
may need to be increased. Set the Level 1 V/HZ Boost block, “Torque Boost”
and the Level 1 Accel/Decel Rate block, “ACCEL TIME #1” as required.
13. Select and program additional parameters to suit your application.
The control is now ready for use in keypad mode or the terminal strip may be wired and
the programming changed for another operating mode.
