Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Mount in suitable enclosure.

  1. Mounting: Install on vertical surface with proper clearance for ventilation.
  2. Power wiring: Connect R/S/T to power supply, U/V/W to motor terminals.
  3. Control wiring: Connect control terminals as per application requirements.
  4. Grounding: Ensure proper grounding for safety and noise reduction.

WARNING! High voltage present; disconnect power before installation. Ensure proper grounding.

First-Time Setup

Power on inverter; configure basic parameters.

  1. Motor data setup: Enter motor rated current, voltage, and frequency.
  2. Control method: Select V/F control or sensorless vector control.
  3. Frequency reference: Set maximum and minimum operating frequencies.
  4. Acceleration/deceleration: Configure ramp times for smooth operation.

CAUTION! Verify motor parameters before operation to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
No display on operatorPower supply issueCheck input power and fuses; verify wiring.
Motor not runningControl circuit faultCheck run command signal; verify parameter settings.
Overcurrent faultMotor overload/short circuitCheck motor and cables; reduce load; increase acceleration time.
Overvoltage faultDeceleration too fastIncrease deceleration time; install braking resistor.
Overheating faultInsufficient coolingClean cooling fins; ensure proper ventilation; check ambient temperature.

Reset: Clear faults by cycling power or using reset function.
