General Start-Up Procedure
The following is a recommended start-up
procedure:
1. The HPV 600 is thoroughly tested at the
factory. Verify the drive has been
installed without shipping and
installation damage.
2. Review the HPV 600 technical manual,
shipped with the drive.
3. Verify the proper drive model numbers
and voltage ratings as specified on the
purchase order.
4. Verify the drive has been installed in
accordance with the guidelines detailed
below:
Location of the HPV 600 is important for
proper operation of the drive and normal life
expectancy. The installation should comply
with the following:
• DO NOT mount in direct sunlight, rain or
extreme (condensing) humidity.
• DO NOT mount where corrosive gases
or liquids are present.
• AVOID exposure to vibration, airborne
dust or metallic particles.
• DO NOT allow the ambient temperature
around the control to exceed the
ambient temperature listed in the
specification.
• Mount control vertically using mounting
holes provided by Magnetek.
• Allow at least 7cm (2.5 in) clearance
above and at least 7 to 13 cm (2.5 to 5
in) clearance below the unit.
• Allow at least 3 cm (1 in) clearance to
either side of the drive.
• Separate grounded metal conduit is
required for input, output and control
wiring.
The unit should be installed in an open
ventilated area where free air can be
circulated around the control. The
installation should comply with the following:
• When necessary, the cooling should be
provided by using filtered air.
• If the cooling air coming inside the
control cabinet contains airborne dust,
filter the incoming air as required and
clean the cooling surface of the HPV
600 regularly using compressed air and
a brush. An uncleaned heatsink
operates at an efficiency less than that
of cooling design specifications.
Therefore, drive may fault on thermal
protection if heatsink is not cleaned
periodically.
5. Inspect the security of the supply line
power, ground connections, and all
control circuit connections. Ensure that
the main circuit input/output precautions
are observed. Also, ensure that the
control circuit precautions are observed.
Observe the following precautions:
• Use 600V vinyl sheathed wire or
equivalent. Wire size should be
determined considering voltage drop of
leads.
• Never connect main AC power to the
output terminals: U, V, and W.
• Never allow wire leads to contact metal
surfaces. Short circuit may result.
• SIZE OF WIRE MUST BE SUITABLE
FOR CLASS I CIRCUITS.
• Motor lead length should not exceed
45m (150 ft) and motor wiring should be
run in a separate conduit from the power
wiring. If lead length must exceed this
distance, contact Magnetek for proper
installation procedures.
• Use UL/CSA certified connectors sized
for the selected wire gauge. Install
connectors using the specified crimping
tools specified by the connector
manufacturer.
• Use twisted shielded or twisted-pair
shielded wire for control and signal
circuit leads. The shield sheath MUST
be connected at the HPV 600 ONLY.
The other end should be dressed neatly
and left unconnected (floating).
• Control wire size should be determined
considering the voltage drops of the
leads.
• Control wire lead length should not
exceed 45m (150 ft). Signal leads and
feedback leads should be run in
