8 P9 ASD Quick Start Guide
System Setup Requirements
• With the exception of the TBA Pump Number (F434), ensure that all Time-Based Alternation 
parameter settings and the real-time clock settings for each ASD within the system are the same.
• When using the ASD as an integral part of a larger system, it is the responsibility of the ASD 
installer/maintenance personnel to ensure that there is a fail-safe in place (i.e., an arrangement 
designed to switch the system to a safe condition if there is a fault or failure).
• Power factor improvement capacitors or surge absorbers MUST NOT be installed on the output of 
the ASD.
• Use of the built-in system protective features is highly recommended (i.e., E-Off, Overload 
Protection, etc.).
• The operating controls and system status indicators should be clearly readable and positioned 
where the operator can see them without obstruction.
• Additional warnings and notifications shall be posted at the equipment installation location as 
deemed required by Qualified Personnel.
• System safety features should be employed and designed into the integrated system in a manner 
such that system operation, even in the event of system failure, will not cause harm or result in 
system damage or injury to personnel (i.e., E-Off, Auto-Restart settings, System Interlocks, etc.).
• The programming setup and system configuration of the ASD may allow it to start the motor 
unexpectedly. A familiarity with the Auto-Restart (F301), Sleep Timer (F383), and the Start-
Stop (F385) settings are a requirement to use this product.
• The setup procedures included within this guide may require a Reset before performing the 
procedure. Application-specific settings may then be performed. The pre-Reset conditions may be 
saved (See F007).
• There may be thermal or physical properties, or ancillary devices integrated into the overall system 
that may allow for the ASD to start the motor without warning. Signs to this effect must be posted 
at the equipment installation location.
• If a secondary magnetic contactor (MC) or an ASD output disconnect is used between the ASD and 
the load, it should be interlocked to halt the ASD before the secondary contact opens. If the output 
contactor is used for bypass operation, it must be interlocked such that commercial power is never 
applied to the ASD output terminals (U, V, or W).
• When using an ASD output disconnect, the ASD and the motor must be stopped before the 
disconnect is either opened or closed. Closing the output disconnect while the 3-phase output of the 
ASD is active may result in equipment damage or injury to personnel.
