3.2 Applying Power

WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Frequency converters contain high voltage when
connected to AC mains. Installation, start-up and
maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel
only. Failure to comply could result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING
UNINTENDED START!
When the frequency converter is connected to AC mains,
the motor may start at any time. The frequency converter,
motor, and any driven equipment must be in operational
readiness. Failure to comply could result in death, serious
injury, equipment, or property damage.
1. Confirm that the input voltage is balanced within
3%. If not, correct input voltage imbalance before
proceeding. Repeat this procedure after the
voltage correction.
2. Ensure that optional equipment wiring, if present,
matches the installation application.
3. Ensure that all operator devices are in the OFF
position. Panel doors should be closed or cover
mounted.
4. Apply power to the unit. DO NOT start the
frequency converter at this time. For units with a
disconnect switch, turn to the ON position to
apply power to the frequency converter.

3.3 Basic Operational Programming

3.3.1 Required Initial Frequency Converter
Programming
Frequency converters require basic operational
programming before running for best performance. Basic
operational programming requires entering motor-
nameplate data for the motor being operated and the
minimum and maximum motor speeds. Enter data in
accordance with the following procedure. Parameter
settings recommended are intended for start up and
checkout purposes. Application settings may vary. See
4 User Interface for detailed instructions on entering data
through the keypad.
Enter data with power ON, but before operating the
frequency converter.

3.4 Auto Tune

Auto tune is a test procedure that measures the electrical
characteristics of the motor to optimize compatibility
between the frequency converter and the motor.

Press [Quick Menu] on the keypad.
Use the navigation keys to scroll to Quick Start
and press [OK].
Select language and press [OK]. Then enter the
motor data in parameters P-02, P-03, P-06, P-07,
F-04 and F-05. The information can be found on
the motor nameplate.
P-07 Motor Power [kW] or P-02 Motor
Power [HP]
F-05 Motor Rated Voltage
F-04 Base Frequency
P-03 Motor Current
P-06 Base Speed
Enter F-01 Frequency Setting 1 and press [OK].
Enter F-02 Operation Method. Local, Remote, or
Linked to Hand/Auto. In local the reference is
entered on the keypad, and in remote that
reference is sourced depending on F-01 Frequency
Setting 1.
Enter the accel/decel time in F-07 Accel Time 1
and F-08 Decel Time 1.
For F-10 Electronic Overload enter Elec OL Trip 1
for Class 20 overload protection. For further
information, see 2.5.1 Requirements.
For F-17 Motor Speed High Limit [RPM] or
F-15 Motor Speed High Limit [Hz] enter the
application requirements.
For F-18 Motor Speed Low Limit [RPM] or
F-16 Motor Speed Low Limit [Hz] enter the
application requirements.
Set H-08 Reverse Lock to Clockwise, Counter
clockwise or Both directions.
In P-04 Auto Tune select Reduced Auto Tune or
Full Auto Tune and follow on-screen instructions.
See 3.4 Auto Tune
The frequency converter builds a mathematical
model of the motor for regulating output motor
current. The procedure also tests the input phase
balance of electrical power. It compares the
