Artesis AMT Toolkit - Running CHECK MOTOR; Check Mode Command

In addition, one of the five LED indicators on the front panel is lit showing the color
corresponding to the motor status in the table above after LEARN mode has finished. As
with all grading schemes, there is always some overlap between the bands and it is possible
for a healthy motor sometimes to indicate a fault severity greater than 1. However, in
healthy motor systems such false alarms should be transitory and prolonged display of a
fault should indicate the need for maintenance.
3.4.3. Running CHECK MOTOR
On first use of AMU and each time any maintenance is performed on the motor, it is
essential that the motor together with its connections are checked by running the CHECK
MOTOR function. In this mode AMU performs a short check on all motor connections to
determine the phase ordering and that a motor is connected and running. It also checks
among other things, that the voltage and current levels are within set limits, and that the
phase angle between the V1 and I11 - I12 channels is appropriate. If AMU detects that
some condition is not met, an alarm is raised which the user should investigate and remedy
before proceeding further.
3.4.3.1. Check mode command
The CHECK MOTOR mode is entered using the menu item:
MENU: Check Motor / Password
NOTE
If the Local Lockout setting is ON it is necessary to
supply a password before access to the CHECK MOTOR
mode is granted. The password is the same as used to
access the Edit Settings menu.
Once CHECK MOTOR has finished, it will display either the message "Motor values" or a
warning or alarm indication. At this point the UP and DOWN buttons can be used to cycle
through a list of calculated physical parameters. If an alarm is present, pressing LEFT or
RIGHT buttons will cycle through the list of alarms. Many of the alarm conditions relate to
the calculated physical values and it is often useful to check the calculated values of the
relevant parameters when trying to understand the origin of an alarm condition. Pressing
CLEAR will return to the IDLE state.
