Trainer: Stephen Tarrant

Drive Safety and Precautions
FREQUENCY CONVERTERS CAN CONTAIN DANGEROUS VOLTAGES.
NO DISSASSEMBLY SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED WITH POWER
APPLIED. REMOVE POWER TO THE FREQUENCY CONVERTER AND
WAIT AT LEAST 40 MINUTES TO ALLOW THE REQUENCY
CONVERTER CAPACITORS FULLY DISCHARGE.

ALWAYS CHECK VOLTAGE LEVELS WITH A TRUE RMS

MULTIMETER BEFORE ATTEMPTING MAINTENANCE.
CHECK ON BOTH AC AND DC VOLTAGE BETWEEN ALL
TERMINALS AND ALSO TO GROUND.
USE PROPER ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD )
PROCEDURES TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO SENSITIVE
COMPONENTS.

IF A DRIVE MUST BE OPENED, PRESS AN EMERGENCY STOP

TO PREVENT DRIVES BEING RESTARTED

 LCP DIP Switches
• Switches S201 (A53) and
S202 (A54) are used to
select a current (0-20 mA)
or a voltage (-10 to +10V)
configuration of the
analog input terminals 53
and 54.
• Switch S801 (BUS TER.)
can be used to enable
termination on the RS-
485 port (terminals 68
and 69).
 LCP – Other Features
• Digital inputs and
output can be
readout in the 16-6X
parameters.
• Details of the
parameters can be
found in the
Programming Guide.

 LCP – Copy Parameters
• Good idea to
copy parameters
to LCP after
loading from
MCT10.
• Select parameter
0-50 from the
operation menu.
• Select All to LCP
and press OK.
 RS232-485 Converter

• Dipswitches on the
RS232/RS485
converter should be
set as shown in the
S1 drawing.
