SVAC3 Quick Setup Guide
SV
Requirements
To begin, make sure you have the following equipment:
▪ A compatible servo motor.
▪ A small at blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).
▪ A personal computer running Microsoft Windows 98, NT, Me, 2000, XP, Vista, or 7.
▪ Quick Tuner™ software (version 2.2.17 or later) available at www.applied-motion.com/products/software.
▪ For Q models, Q Programmer software (available at www.applied-motion.com).
▪ A CAT5 network cable (not included).
▪ For more detailed information, please download and read the SVAC3 Hardware Manual, available at www.applied-motion.com/support/manuals.
Step 1
a) Download and install the Quick Tuner™ and, for -Q models, the Q Programmer™ software.
b) Launch the software by clicking:
Start / Programs / Applied Motion Products / Quick Tuner
c) Connect the drive to your network or PC using a standard CAT5 cable.
d) Select an appropriate IP address using the rotary switch on the SVAC3. For more information
about network congurations and IP addressing, please consult the SVAC3 Hardware Manual.
Step 2
Wire the drive to the AC power source.
(do not apply power until all connections to the drive have been made)
Note, the SVAC3-120 accepts AC voltages from 108-132 VAC,
while the SVAC3-220 accepts AC voltages from 108-242 VAC.
The SVAC3-120 contains an internal 8A fast acting fuse. The SVAC3-220
contains an internal 3.5A fast acting fuse. If an external fuse is desired,
we recommend a 6A fast acting fuse for the 120V SVAC3 and a 3 amp
fast acting fuse for the 220V version.

Step 3
Connect the drive to the motor. If you are using one of the recomended Applied Motion motors, connect the
motor as shown.
Be sure to connect the motor case ground to the SVAC3 ground terminal.
For a non-Applied Motion Products motor, please refer to your motor specs for wiring information.
Step 4
a) Connect the I/O
b) Connect the Encoder. For
Applied Motion motors we
recommend using standard
encoder extension cables
(BLUENC type for M series
motors, 3004-230 type for
V series motors) to connect
the motor’s encoder and Hall
signals to the drive.

Step 5
a) Apply power to the drive.
b) Enter the proper IP address (refer to step 1d above), then select the “Drive”
tab and press the “Ping” button. You should receive a response similar to
that shown here.
c) Select the appropriate operating mode for your drive.
d) If using an Applied Motion servomotor, press the “Open” button, navigate to
the SVAC3 folder, and select a tuning le. Select the le that most closely
matches your inertia load. The le names indicate the inertia ratio for
which they were optimized. For example, the le M0200-101-4-X5.svt was
optimized for the M0200-101-4 motor at a 5:1 inertia ratio.
Step 6
a) Select the “Motor - Encoder” tab and conrm settings for motor
maximum current and pole count, as well as the encoder resolution
are correct. If you are using a non-AMP motor, these data must be
obtained from your motor’s datasheet.
b) Execute the Timing Wizard, following the on-screen prompts. This will
ensure that the drive can properly commutate the motor.
Step 7
a) Select the “Tuning - Sampling” tab.
b) If a factory tuning le was used in Step 5, the system is already tuned for the specied load. If using
a third-party motor, the system must be tuned manually. Consult the Quick Tuner™ Software Manual
for step-by-step tuning instructions.
The Quick Tuner™ Software Manual should be considered required reading for anyone tuning a servo
system.
Step 8
Select the “Inputs - Outputs” tab, and congure any dedicated-function I/O your application
may require.
Step 9
Download your settings to the drive. Your drive is now congured for use.
