Only personnel familiar with the drive and
associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, start-up, and
subsequent maintenance of the system.
Failure to comply may result in personal
injury and/or equipment damage.

•This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic
Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static
control precautions are required when installing,
testing, or servicing this assembly. Component
damage may result if ESD control procedures are
not followed.
•An incorrectly applied or installed drive can
result in component damage or a reduction in
product life. Wiring or appl ication errors, such as
incorrect or inadequate AC supply or excessive
ambient temperatures, may result in malfunction
of the system.
•This drive contains power storage devices that
retain their charge for a time after the removal of
main power. Extreme caution should be used
when working in and around the drive. It is
recommended that main disconnect power to the
drive remain off for three minutes prior to
approaching connections.
General Information
W a rnings specific to a particular subject will appear in
the manual with the discussion of that subject.
Upon delivery, verify the item’s nameplate catalog
number against the purchase order.
Before the installation and start-up of the drive, a
general inspection of the mechanical integrity (i.e.,
loose parts, wires, connections, etc.) should be made.
Storage
The drive should remain in its shipping container prior
to installation. If the equipment is not to be used for a
period of time, it must be stored according to the
following instructions in order to maintain warranty
coverage:
•Store in a clean, dry location.
•Store within an ambient temperature range of -40
to 70 degrees C.
•Store within a relative humidity range of 0 to 95
percent.
•Do not store equipment where it could be
exposed to a corrosive atmosphere.
An incorrectly installed system can result in
component damage or reduction in product
life. The most common causes are:
1. Wiring AC line to drive output or control
terminals.
2. EXTERNAL voltage application to control
terminals.
3. Incorrect or inadequate AC supply.
Contact factory for assistance with
application or wiring.

Electrical Interference
EMI
Careful attention must be given to the arrangement of
power and ground connections to the drive to avoid
interference with nearby sensitive equipment. Be sure
to replace all ground connections to their appropriate
locations.
RFI
Drives can be installed with an RFI filter, which
controls high-frequency conducted emissions into the
main supply lines.
Where it is essential that very low emission levels
must be achieved or if conformity with standards is
required, the optional RFI filter may be present.
Figure 5 displays an electrical schematic for various
RFI configurations. Table 2 shows associated RFI
filter part numbers.

The following information illustrates the terminal
block designations for each of the drive models.
Opening the Cover
1. Press and hold in the tabs on each side of the
cover. Refer to Figure 6.
2. Pull the cover out and up to release.
Power Terminal Block
The drive utilizes a finger guard over the power wiring
terminals. To remove:
1. Press in and hold the locking tab.

2. Slide finger guard down and out. Refer to
Figure 7.
3. Replace the finger guard when wiring is
complete.
To reduce risk of electric shock, severe

remain off for three minutes minimum prior
to working in and around AC drive. Proceed
with caution.
W662
CAUTION
Never permanently jumper the AC drive
balance output terminals or short the wires
in these terminals together. This will
override the balance detection routine and
cause the wash cycle to abort, potentially
causing machine damage or personal injury
in the process.
W671
Control Terminal Blocks Description and
Control Logic
NOTE: Do not connect AC drive digital common,
analog common, or common terminals to chassis
ground.
Input Mode Parameter
The control terminal functions are determined in part
by the “Start Source” parameter #36. Changing this
parameter affects the function of some terminals.
Speed Selection
Motor speeds on digitally-controlled AC drives are
controlled by solid state or mechanical switch closure
inputs to Digital In 1, Digital In 2, and Digital In 3
terminals. Similarly, motor rotation direction is
controlled by inputs to Start/Run FWD and Direction/
Run REV terminals. Refer to Figure 10.
An inactive control input terminal (H) will measure
approximately 24v DC while an active control input
terminal (L) will measure less than 1v DC. When a
control input (i.e., Digital In 1, 2, 3, 4, Fwd, Rev, or
Stop) is connected to a common terminal (terminal 4),
the voltage on the control input terminal is reduced to
near zero and the input is activated.
Balance Output
The AC drive balance output signal is transmitted to
the machine controller by the operation of an on-board
normally open relay or transistor. Refer to Figure 10.
The AC drive will analyze the wash load distribution
during certain drain steps and communicate the
severity of load imbalance to the machine controller.
The machine controller then determines if the load is
suitably distributed for the programmed spin speed.
The severity of load imbalance is communicated
digitally by the on-board relay or transistor using a
series of pulses or continuous open or closed state.
Stop/Enable Input
The Stop Input function is machine dependent. The
input is typically used to disable the drive either when
the frame vibration safety limit switch has been
tripped or when the loading door has been opened.
Refer to the applicable machine electrical schematic
for details on the connection of this input. When the
Stop Input signal is interrupted, the control input
signals must be removed and reapplied to restart the
motor operation.
Tables 8 – 14 designate the speed and rotation
direction based on inputs to the control terminals. The
AC drive’ s input status parameters display of 1 s and 0s
at various machine actions can be viewed while
monitoring parameter #13 and/or #14. When the
control input terminal voltage is high (inactive) the
status display will read “0” (logic 0). When the control
input terminal voltage is low (active) the status will
read “1” (logic 1).
The PowerFlex series of drives include a DIP Switch
that will allow the drive input signals to be wired as
“sink” or “source”. This switch should be set to the
sink mode on all Alliance Laundry equipment made at
the time of this publication. Setting this switch in the
source mode will cause the drive to not operate and be
mistaken as a failed drive.
0-10V/0-20m A Switch
The PowerFlex series of drives include a DIP switch
that will allow the drive analog input signals to be
wired as a 0-10V/0-20 mA switch.This switch should
be set to the 0-10V mode on all Alliance Laundry
Equipment made at the time of this publication.
Setting this switch in the 0-20 mA mode may cause
the drive to not operate and be mistaken as a failed
drive.
