With correct motor rotation, manually run the drive throughout its entire operating range while 
observing operation.  
•  If the drive trips on over-current during acceleration adjust the acceleration time rate via 
Parameter P1120.  
•  If the drive trips on over-voltage during deceleration, adjust the deceleration time rate via 
Parameter P1121.  
•  If excessive vibration of the driven load is noted at specific input frequencies, use Skip 
Frequency Parameters P1091 through P1094 to eliminate this vibration. 
(       )  10. 
Determine whether the remote speed reference is a 0 to 10 Vdc or a 4 to 20 mA signal. Connect 
signal wires and place analog input DIP Switch in the appropriate position. 
(       )  11. 
Check the signal for proper polarity. Observe if the remote speed command can achieve the 
minimum and maximum speeds desired. If not, scale as required.  
(       )  12. 
Press the 
STOP
RESET
VFD0102R1
 button. When the drive is in the run mode, it will coast to a stop.  
For units with three contactors, set the Drive Test ON/OFF switch to ON. Verify that the drive 
input contactor energizes.  
(       )  13. 
Make additional drive application parameter settings as required, and record them in 
Appendix: Parameter Settings. 
(       )  14.  BYPASS TEST—Be prepared to monitor rotation of the motor in bypass operation. 
Press the 
Hand
Start
VFD0100R1
 button and then quickly press the 
STOP
RESET
VFD0102R1
 button. Check the motor rotation.  
 
 
CAUTION: 
Do NOT allow the motor to operate in bypass mode unless the motor rotation is correct. 
(       )  15.  If motor rotation in bypass mode is correct, skip to the next step.  
If motor rotation in bypass mode is NOT correct, check the following and perform as described: 
•  Turn OFF the incoming power feed to the drive. Since the correct rotation in drive mode was 
previously established, do not change any output wires at motor. 
•  Instead, verify that power to the input device is OFF. Swap L1 and L2 on the input side of the 
circuit breaker/disconnect switch. This will affect rotation in the bypass operation only. Once 
connections are complete and tight, reapply incoming power and repeat Step 14 to recheck 
the rotation direction. 
(       )  16. 
Verify that running at full speed will NOT damage the system.  
Run the motor in bypass by pressing the 
Hand
Start
VFD0100R1
 button.  
Record all the phase voltages and currents at this time. 
AC input voltage: Phase A____________ Phase B ___________ Phase C _____________  
AC output voltage: Phase A___________ Phase B ___________ Phase C _____________  
Output Current: Phase A ____________  Phase B ___________ Phase C _____________  
Display Current:  _______________Software Version: _________________________ 
(       )  17. 
Press the 
Enable
VFD0099R1
 button to stop the bypass operation and return the unit to the automatic mode of 
operation. Check speed references from application specific devices for appropriate operation.  
This completes the startup procedure for the SED2 VFD with Electronic Bypass Option.
