This step shows how to setup the run and reference source of the A1000. The run source determines
how the A1000 drive receives its start and stop command and the reference source determines how
the speed of the motor is controlled. Make sure all protective covers have been re-attached and power
is turned on. DO NOT RUN THE MOTOR.
This section may require you to change one or more A1000 parameters. Please refer to Step 5
for a detailed explanation on how to change parameters.

· If insufficient motor torque relative to the size of the load causes
hunting reduce the setting.
· When motor hunting and oscillation occur with a light load increase
setting.
· Lower this setting if hunting occurs when using a motor with a
relatively low inductance such as a high-frequency motor or a motor
with a larger frame size.
· If the motor noise is too loud increase the carrier frequency.
· When motor hunting and oscillation occur at speeds up to 40 Hz
lower the carrier frequency.
· The default setting for the carrier frequency depends on the drive
capacity (o2-04) and the Duty Selection (C6-01).

· If motor torque and speed response are too slow, gradually
decrease the setting by 0.01.
· If the load is less rigid and subject to oscillation, increase this
setting.
· If there is too much motor noise, the carrier frequency is too low.
· If motor hunting and oscillation occur at low speeds, reduce the
carrier frequency.
