2 Getting Started
2.1 How to use this chapter
It is recommended that you follow the instructions
in this chapter in the order that they appear. You
will be led through the initial stages of setting up
the Drive (in Macro 1 Easy mode) as well as being able
to familiarize yourself with operating the Drive.
Warning
The Drive must be operated
only by personnel having the
necessary training or
experience.
Warning
If this is the first time the
Drive has been operated,
ensure that no damage or
safety hazard could arise from
the motor starting
unexpectedly.
Warning
The motor must be fixed down
and the shaft guarded against
inadvertent contact.
Warning
Do not change parameter
values without careful
consideration; wrong values
may cause damage or a safety
hazard.
Notes
Keep a note of changes
When changing the values of parameters,
make a note of the new values in case they
need to be entered again.
Saving the changes
For new parameter-values to apply after
the
AC supply to the Drive is interrupted,
new values must be saved. This is described
in Saving new parameter-values in Appendix A
Programming Instructions.
2.2 Making signal and power
connections
Warning
Stored charge
The Drive contains capacitors
that remain charged to a
potentially lethal voltage after
the
AC supply has been
disconnected. If the Drive has
been energized, the
AC supply
must be isolated at least
ten minutes before work may
continue.
Warning
Isolation
The control circuits and
terminals are isolated from the
power circuits only by basic
insulation to IEC664–1. The
installer must ensure that all
external control circuits are
separated from human contact
by at least one layer of
insulation rated for use at the
AC supply voltage.
For instructions on removing the terminal covers,
see Mounting the Drive and RFI filter in Chapter 2
Installing the Drive in the Installation Guide.
