CONNECTION WITH THE MOTOR
After connecting the motor with the drive, carry out the following operations:
1) connect TP1 with TP2. Thus the potentiometer P1 is connected with the set-
point input of the drive. The potentiometer is used to vary the control voltage
within the range –10 V/+10 V that corresponds to a variation of the motor speed
within the range –3000 rpm/+3000 rpm;
2) turn the main switch (mounted in the rear part of the drive) to “ON”.
3) Turn the switch SA2 ENABLE to “ON”. The green LED EN is on.
Now the drive is ready for operation.
4) Turning the potentiometer P1 will vary the rpm of the motor in both
clockwise and anticlockwise directions.
