Operation
Line starting and stopping
When AC line voltage is applied to the drive, the motor
accelerates to the set speed. When AC line voltage is removed,
the motor coasts to a stop. Line stopping (removing AC line
voltage) is recommended for stopping in emergency situations
only. It is not recommended for frequent starting and stopping.
Decelerating to minimum speed
The switch shown in Figure 6 may be used to decelerate a
motor to a minimum speed. Closing the switch between S1 and
S2 decelerates the motor from set speed to a minimum speed
determined by the MIN SPD trimpot setting. If the MIN SPD
trimpot is set full CCW, the motor decelerates to zero speed
when the switch between S1 and S2 is closed. The DECEL
trimpot setting determines the rate at which the drive
decelerates. By opening the switch, the motor accelerates to set
speed at a rate determined by the ACCEL trimpot setting.
