Electrical Hazard Warning Symbol: Failure to observe this warning could result
in electrical shock or electrocution.
Operational Hazard Warning Symbol: Failure to observe this warning could
result in serious injury or death.
This product must be installed and serviced by a qualified technician,
electrician, or electrical maintenance person familiar with its operation and the
hazards involved. Proper installation, which includes electrical connections,
fusing or other current protection, and grounding, can reduce the chance of
electrical shocks, and/or fires, in this product or products used with this
product, such as electric motors, switches, coils, solenoids, and/or relays. Do
not use this drive in an explosion-proof application. Eye protection must be
worn and insulated adjustment tools must be used when working with drive
under power. This product is constructed of materials (plastics, metals,
carbon, silicon, etc.) which may be a potential hazard. Proper shielding,
grounding, and filtering of this product can reduce the emission of radio
frequency interference (RFI) which may adversely affect sensitive electronic
equipment. It is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer and
individual installer to supply this Safety Warning to the ultimate end user of
this product. (SW 8/2012)
The drive contains electronic Start/Stop circuits, which can be used to start
and stop the drive. However, these circuits are never to be used as safety
disconnects since they are not fail-safe. Use only the AC Line for this purpose.
Be sure to read and follow all instructions carefully. Fire and/or electrocution
can result due to improper use of this product.

QUICK-START INSTRUCTIONS
1. REMOVE THE COVER: The cover must be removed to setup and wire the drive.
See Section 5.1, on pages 16 and 17.
2. AC LINE INPUT SELECTION: The drive is factory set for 208/230 Volt AC Line
input (Jumper J3 not installed). Install the supplied jumper to set the drive for
115 Volt AC Line input. See Section 7.1, on page 19.
3. MOTOR FREQUENCY SELECTION: Jumpers J1 and J2 are both factory set for
60 Hz motors. For other motors, see Section 7.2, on pages 19 – 21.
4. START MODE SELECTION: The drive is factory set for Automatic Start Mode
(jumper installed onto CON1). To operate the drive in the Manual Start Mode, the
supplied Forward-Stop-Reverse Switch must be installed. See Section 7.3, on
pages 21 and 22.
5. FORWARD/REVERSE SPEED SELECTION: The drive is factory set for Forward
Speed Operation (CON1 jumper installed in the "F" position). For Reverse Speed
Operation, set the CON1 jumper in the "R" position. See Section 7.4, on page 22.
Note: As an alternate to using the F-S-R jumper, reverse any two motor leads
(with the AC Line disconnected and the motor stopped).
6. ADJUSTABLE TRIMPOTS: All trimpots have been factory set for most
applications. See Section 12, on pages 28 – 31.
7. MOUNTING THE DRIVE: See Section 8, on page 23.
8. AC LINE INPUT, MOTOR AND GROUND CONNECTIONS: At Terminal Block
TB1, wire the AC Line input to "L1 and "L2"; the ground wire(s) to "GND"; and the
motor to "U", "V", and "W". See Section 10, on pages 24 – 26.
9. FORWARD-STOP-REVERSE SWITCH (SUPPLIED): Install the switch, if
required. See Section 6, on page 18.
10. INSTALL THE COVER: After the drive has been setup, mounted, and wired,
install the cover. See Section 5.2, on page 17.
This product complies with all CE directives pertinent at the time of
manufacture. Contact our Sales Department for Declaration of Conformity.
Installation of a CE approved RFI filter is required. Additional shielded cable and/or
AC Line cables may be required.
Note: In order for this drive to meet CE requirements, a separate CE approved filter
must be installed.
