2.7 Operating instructions
Before completing the initial setting up of the Drive,
you will need to learn how to operate it. Refer to
the following instructions for Terminal mode or
Keypad mode, as appropriate.
Terminal mode
Variable frequency
In Terminal mode (with Macro 1), the Drive can
control the motor as follows:
• Run (forward and reverse)
• Jog/Preset frequency (forward and reverse)
1. Ensure the control signal connections shown in
Figure 2–5 are made.
2. Check that the FREQUENCY potentiometer is
set at minimum.
3. Ensure that the EXTERNAL TRIP contact is
open.
4. Connect the Drive to the
AC supply.
5. The display indicates as follows:
6. Close the EXTERNAL TRIP contact.
7. Press
or momentarily close the RESET
contact.
8. The display indication changes as follows:
9. Ensure parameter 0.10 Motor speed is displayed
(default).
10. Close the RUN FORWARD contact. The display
indicates as follows:
11. Advance the FREQUENCY potentiometer.
12. The value shown by the upper display increases
accordingly, and the motor speed increases.
13. Open the RUN FORWARD contact. The
following occur:
• The value of the upper display reduces
to zero
• The lower display shows dEC, then rdY
• The motor speed reduces to zero
14. If required, repeat steps 10 to 13 using the
RUN REVERSE contact.
If you do not require the use of jog / preset
frequency, go to Trip and Enable later in this
chapter
Jog/Preset frequency
The jog function can be used alternatively as a
preset frequency. The default value is 1.5Hz.
1. Close the JOG/PRESET SELECT contact. Then
close the RUN FORWARD contact. It is
essential that the contacts are closed in this
order, otherwise the Drive will run forward (or
reverse) normally at variable speed.
The display indicates a fixed low speed that
cannot be changed by the FREQUENCY
potentiometer. The motor runs at this low
speed.
2. Open the RUN FORWARD contact to stop
the Drive.
3. If required, repeat steps 1 and 2 using the
RUN REVERSE contact.
4. If the JOG/PRESET SELECT contact is opened
before the RUN FORWARD or RUN REVERSE
contact, the motor speed will become
controlled by the FREQUENCY potentiometer.
