Do not connect power supply voltage that exceeds the standard specification voltage fluctuation permissible. If excessive voltage is
applied to the drive, damage to the internal components will result.
Do not operate the drive without the ground wire connected. The motor chassis should be grounded to earth through a ground lead
separate from all other equipment ground leads to prevent noise coupling.
The grounding connector shall be sized in accordance with the NEC or Canadian Electrical Code.
The connection shall be made by a UL listed or CSA certified closed-loop terminal connector sized for the wire gauge involved. The
connector is to be fixed using the crimp tool specified by the connector manufacturer.
Do not perform a megger test between the drive terminals or on the control circuit terminals.
Because the ambient temperature greatly affects drive life and reliability, do not install the drive in any location that exceeds the al-
lowable temperature. Leave the ventilation cover attached for temperatures of 104° F (40° C) or below.
If the Drive's Fault Alarm is activated, consult the TROUBLESHOOTING section of the enclosed AGyL or AVyL drive instruction book,
and after correcting the problem, resume operation. Do not reset the alarm automatically by external sequence, etc.
Be sure to remove the desicant dryer packet(s) when unpacking the drive. (If not removed these packets may become lodged in the
fan or air passages and cause the drive to overheat).
The drive must be mounted on a wall that is constructed of heat resistant material. While the drive is operating, the temperature of
the Drive's cooling fins can rise to a temperature of 194° F (90°C).
Do not touch or damage any components when handling the device. The changing of the isolation gaps or the removing of the isola-
tion and covers is not permissible.
Protect the device from impermissible environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, shock etc.)
No voltage should be connected to the output of the drive (terminals U2, V2 W2). The parallel connection of several drives via the
outputs and the direct connection of the inputs and outputs (bypass) are not permissible.
A capacitative load (e.g. Var compensation capacitors) should not be connected to the output of the drive (terminals U2, V2, W2).
The electrical commissioning should only be carried out by qualified personnel, who are also responsible for the provision of a suit-
able ground connection and a protected power supply feeder in accordance with the local and national regulations. The motor must
be protected against overloads.
No dielectric tests should be carried out on parts of the drive. A suitable measuring instrument (internal resistance of at least 10 kW/V)
should be used for measuring the signal voltages.
In case of a three phase supply not symmetrical to ground, an insulation loss of one of the devices connected to the same network
can cause functional problem to the drive, if the use of a delta/wye transformer is avoided (see par. 3.4).
Note!
If the Drives have been stored for longer than two years, the operation of the DC link capacitors may be impaired and must
be "reformed".
Before commissioning devices that have been stored for long periods, connect them to a power supply for two hours with
no load connected in order to regenerate the capacitors, (the input voltage has to be applied without enabling the drive).
Note!
The terms "Inverter", "Controller" and "Drive" are sometimes used interchangably throughout the industry. We will use the
term "drive" in this document.
