Steps for Setting Up the Speed Controller
1 - Delivery of the speed controller
• Check that the speed controller reference printed on the label is the same as that on the delivery note
corresponding to the purchase order
• Remove the Altivar 28 from its packaging and check that it has not been damaged in transit
2 - Fit the speed controller and attach its labels (page 54)
3 - Check that the line voltage is compatible with the voltage range of the
drive (page 56)
The drive may be damaged if the line voltage is not compatible
4 - Connect the following to the speed controller
• The line supply, ensuring that it is volt-free
• The motor, ensuring that the terminal configuration corresponds to the supply voltage
5 - Switch on the speed controller, but do not give a run command
6 - Configure
• The nominal frequency (bFr) of the motor, if it is other than 50 Hz
• The parameters of the I/O, and drC menus but only if the factory configuration of the speed controller
is not suitable for the application
7 - Set the following in the Set menu
If the speed controller factory settings are not suitable:
• The acceleration (ACC) and deceleration (dEC) ramps
• The minimum (LSP) and maximum (HSP) speeds
• The motor thermal protection current (ItH) to the nominal current marked on the motor rating plate
• Other parameters as required
8 - Start the speed controller
If problems arise, refer to section "Faults - Causes - Remedies", page 93
Practical recommendations
• To help with programming the speed controller, fill in the configuration and settings tables (page 96),
in particular when the factory configuration has been changed
• It is always possible to return to the factory settings using the FCS parameter in the drC menu (set YES
to activate the function see page 86)
Caution : A check must be made to ensure that the functions which have been
programmed are compatible with the wiring layout used
