Power-Up Test
Step 8: After wiring the inverter and motor, perform a power-up test. The 
procedure that follows is designed for the first-time use of the drive. Verify the 
following conditions before conducting the power-up test:
• The previous steps in this chapter have been followed.
• The inverter is new, and securely mounted to a non-flammable vertical 
surface.
• The inverter is connected to a power source and motor.
• No additional wiring of the inverter connectors or terminals has been done.
• The power supply is reliable, and the motor is a known working unit.
• The motor is mounted, and is not connected to any load.
The following instructions apply to the power-up test, or to any time the inverter 
is powered and operating. Please study the following instructions and messages 
before proceeding with the power-up test.
1. The power supply must have fusing suitable for the load. Check the fuse size 
chart presented in Table 4-1 if necessary.
2. Be sure you have access to a disconnect switch for the drive input power if 
necessary. However, do not turn off power to the inverter during its 
operation unless it is an emergency.
3. Turn the inverter’s front panel potentiometer to the MIN position (fully 
counterclockwise). 
CAUTION!
The operation of the inverter can be easily changed from low speed to 
high speed. Be sure to check the capability and limitations of the 
motor and machine before operating the inverter. Otherwise, there is 
the danger of injury.
CAUTION!
If you operate a motor at a frequency higher than the inverter standard 
default setting (50 Hz/60 Hz), be sure to check the motor and machine 
specifications with the respective manufacturer. Only operate the 
motor at elevated frequencies after getting their approval. Otherwise, 
there is the danger of equipment damage.
