General Precautions
!
ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the
voltage on the bus capacitors has discharged before performing any
work on the drive. Measure the DC bus voltage at the DC and +DC
terminals on the Power Terminal Block (refer to Chapter 1 Power
Terminal descriptions). The voltage must be zero.
Darkened LEDs or a darkened LCD display is not an indication that
capacitors have discharged to safe voltage levels.
!
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable
frequency AC drives and associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the
system. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or
equipment damage.
!
ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control precautions are required
when installing, testing, servicing or repairing this assembly.
Component damage may result if ESD control procedures are not
followed. If you are not familiar with static control procedures,
reference A-B publication 8000-4.5.2, Guarding Against Electrostatic
Damage or any other applicable ESD protection handbook.
!
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in
component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application
errors, such as, undersizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC
supply, or excessive ambient temperatures may result in malfunction of
the system.
!
ATTENTION: The bus regulator function is extremely useful for
preventing nuisance overvoltage faults resulting from aggressive
decelerations, overhauling loads, and eccentric loads. However, it can
also cause either of the following two conditions to occur.
1. Fast positive changes in input voltage or imbalanced input voltages
can cause uncommanded positive speed changes;
2. Actual deceleration times can be longer than commanded
deceleration times.
However, a Stall Fault is generated if the drive remains in this state
for 1 minute. If this condition is unacceptable, the bus regulator must be
disabled (see parameter A441). In addition, installing a properly sized
dynamic brake resistor will provide equal or better performance in most
cases.

Shield Termination - SHLD
Either of the safety ground terminals located on the power terminal
block provides a grounding point for the motor cable shield. The motor
cable shield connected to one of these terminals (drive end) should also
be connected to the motor frame (motor end). Use a shield terminating or
EMI clamp to connect the shield to the safety ground terminal. The
conduit box option may be used with a cable clamp for a grounding point
for the cable shield.
When shielded cable is used for control and signal wiring, the shield
should be grounded at the source end only, not at the drive end.
RFI Filter Grounding
Using single phase drives with integral filter, or an external filter with
any drive rating, may result in relatively high ground leakage currents.
Therefore, the filter must only be used in installations with grounded
AC supply systems and be permanently installed and solidly
grounded (bonded) to the building power distribution ground. Ensure
that the incoming supply neutral is solidly connected (bonded) to the
same building power distribution ground. Grounding must not rely on
flexible cables and should not include any form of plug or socket that
would permit inadvertent disconnection. Some local codes may require
redundant ground connections. The integrity of all connections should be
periodically checked.
Installation/Wiring 1-7
The PowerFlex 4M does not provide branch short circuit protection. This
product should be installed with either input fuses or an input circuit
breaker. National and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical
codes may determine additional requirements for these installations.
Fusing
The PowerFlex 4M has been UL tested and approved for use with input
fuses. The ratings in the table that follows are the maximum
recommended values for use with each drive rating. The devices listed in
this table are provided to serve as a guide.
Bulletin 140M (Self-Protected Combination Controller)/UL489
Circuit Breakers
When using Bulletin 140M or UL489 rated circuit breakers, the
guidelines listed below must be followed in order to meet the NEC
requirements for branch circuit protection.
Bulletin 140M can be used in single and group motor applications.

Installation/Wiring 1-9
Motor Cable Types Acceptable for 200-600 Volt Installations
General
A variety of cable types are acceptable for drive installations. For many
installations, unshielded cable is adequate, provided it can be separated
from sensitive circuits. As an approximate guide, allow a spacing of 0.3
meters (1 foot) for every 10 meters (32.8 feet) of length. In all cases,
long parallel runs must be avoided. Do not use cable with an insulation
thickness less than 15 mils (0.4 mm/0.015 in.). Do not route more than
three sets of motor leads in a single conduit to minimize cross talk. If
more than three drive/motor connections per conduit are required,
shielded cable must be used.
UL installations in 50C ambient must use 600V, 75C or 90C wire.
UL installations in 40C ambient should use 600V, 75C or 90C wire.
Use copper wire only. Wire gauge requirements and recommendations
are based on 75 degree C. Do not reduce wire gauge when using higher
temperature wire.
Unshielded
THHN, THWN or similar wire is acceptable for drive installation in dry
environments provided adequate free air space and/or conduit fill rates
limits are provided. Do not use THHN or similarly coated wire in wet
areas. Any wire chosen must have a minimum insulation thickness of
15 mils and should not have large variations in insulation concentricity.
Power Wiring
!
ATTENTION: National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI, etc.)
and local codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical
equipment. Installation must comply with specifications regarding wire
types, conductor sizes, branch circuit protection and disconnect
devices. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
!
ATTENTION: To avoid a possible shock hazard caused by induced
voltages, unused wires in the conduit must be grounded at both ends.
For the same reason, if a drive sharing a conduit is being serviced or
installed, all drives using this conduit should be disabled. This will help
minimize the possible shock hazard from cross coupled power leads.
1-10 Installation/Wiring
Shielded
Reflected Wave Protection
The drive should be installed as close to the motor as possible.
Installations with long motor cables may require the addition of external
devices to limit voltage reflections at the motor (reflected wave
phenomena). See Table 1.E for recommendations.
The reflected wave data applies to all frequencies 2 to 10 kHz.
For 240V ratings, reflected wave effects do not need to be considered.
Table 1.E Maximum Cable Length Recommendations
Output Disconnect
The drive is intended to be commanded by control input signals that will
start and stop the motor. A device that routinely disconnects then
reapplies output power to the motor for the purpose of starting and
stopping the motor should not be used. If it is necessary to disconnect
power to the motor with the drive outputting power, an auxiliary contact
should be used to simultaneously disable drive control run commands.

ATTENTION: A contactor or other device that routinely disconnects
and reapplies the AC line to the drive to start and stop the motor can
cause drive hardware damage. The drive is designed to use control input
signals that will start and stop the motor. If used, the input device must
not exceed one operation per minute or drive damage can occur.
!
ATTENTION: The drive start/stop control circuitry includes
solid-state components. If hazards due to accidental contact with
moving machinery or unintentional flow of liquid, gas or solids exist,
an additional hardwired stop circuit may be required to remove the AC
line to the drive. When the AC line is removed, there will be a loss of
any inherent regenerative braking effect that might be present - the
motor will coast to a stop. An auxiliary braking method may be
required.
Installation/Wiring 1-13
Important points to remember about I/O wiring:
Always use copper wire.
Wire with an insulation rating of 600V or greater is recommended.
Control and signal wires should be separated from power wires by at
least 0.3 meters (1 foot).
Important: I/O terminals labeled Common are not referenced to the
safety ground (PE) terminal and are designed to greatly
reduce common mode interference.
Control Wire Types
Table 1.G Recommended Control and Signal Wire
(1)
I/O Terminal Block
Table 1.H I/O Terminal Block Specifications
Maximum Control Wire Recommendations
Do not exceed control wiring length of 30 meters (100 feet). Control
signal cable length is highly dependent on electrical environment and
installation practices. To improve noise immunity, the I/O terminal block
Common must be connected to ground terminal/protective earth. If using
the RS485 (DSI) port, I/O Terminal 16 should also be connected to
ground terminal/protective earth.

Supply (SNK)
examples on
page 1-16.
When connecting a single input such as Run, Stop, Reverse or Preset Speeds
to multiple drives, it is important to connect I/O Terminal 04 common together
for all drives. If they are to be tied into another common (such as earth ground
or separate apparatus ground) only one point of the daisy chain of I/O Terminal
04 should be connected.
Multiple Analog

Start Up
This chapter describes how to start up the PowerFlex 4M Drive. To
simplify drive setup, the most commonly programmed parameters are
organized in a single Basic Program Group.
Important: Read the General Precautions section before proceeding.
Before Applying Power to the Drive
1. Confirm that all inputs are connected to the correct terminals and are
secure.
2. Verify that AC line power at the disconnect device is within the rated
value of the drive.
3. Verify that any digital control power is 24 volts.
4. Verify that the Sink (SNK)/Source (SRC) Setup DIP Switch is set to
match your control wiring scheme. See Figure 1.5 on page 1-14 for
location.
Important: The default control scheme is Source (SRC). The Stop
terminal is jumpered (I/O Terminals 01 and 11) to allow
starting from the keypad. If the control scheme is changed
to Sink (SNK), the jumper must be removed from I/O
Terminals 01 and 11 and installed between I/O Terminals
01 and 04.
5. Verify that the Stop input is present or the drive will not start.
Important: If I/O Terminal 01 is used as a stop input, the jumper
between I/O Terminals 01 and 11 must be removed.
!
ATTENTION: Power must be applied to the drive to perform the
following start-up procedures. Some of the voltages present are at
incoming line potential. To avoid electric shock hazard or damage to
equipment, only qualified service personnel should perform the
following procedure. Thoroughly read and understand the procedure
before beginning. If an event does not occur while performing this
procedure, Do Not Proceed. Remove All Power including user
supplied control voltages. User supplied voltages may exist even when
main AC power is not applied to the drive. Correct the malfunction
before continuing.
Prepare For Drive Start-Up
2-2 Start Up
Applying Power to the Drive
6. Apply AC power and control voltages to the drive.
7. Familiarize yourself with the integral keypad features (see page 2-3)
before setting any Program Group parameters.
Start, Stop, Direction and Speed Control
Factory default parameter values allow the drive to be controlled from
the integral keypad. No programming is required to start, stop, change
direction and control speed directly from the integral keypad.
Important: To disable reverse operation, see A434 [Reverse Disable].
If a fault appears on power up, refer to Fault Descriptions on page 4-3
for an explanation of the fault code.

Programming and Parameters
Chapter 3 provides a complete listing and description of the PowerFlex
4M parameters. Parameters are programmed (viewed/edited) using the
integral keypad. As an alternative, programming can also be performed
using DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive software, a personal
computer and a serial converter module. Refer to Appendix B for catalog
numbers.
To configure a drive to operate in a specific way, drive parameters may
have to be set. Three types of parameters exist:
ENUM
ENUM parameters allow a selection from 2 or more items. Each item
is represented by a number.
Numeric Parameters
These parameters have a single numerical value (i.e. 0.1 Volts).
Bit Parameters
Bit parameters have four individual bits associated with features or
conditions. If the bit is 0, the feature is off or the condition is false. If
the bit is 1, the feature is on or the condition is true.
Some parameters are marked as follows.

Sets the control scheme used to start the drive.
Refer to Start and Speed Reference Control on page 1-19 for details about how other drive settings
can override the setting of this parameter.
Important: For all settings except option 3, the drive must receive a leading edge from the start input
for the drive to start after a stop input, loss of power or fault condition.
Options 0 Keypad (Default) Integral keypad controls drive operation.
I/O Terminal 1 Stop = coast to stop.
When active, the Reverse key is also active unless
disabled by A434 [Reverse Disable].

ATTENTION: Hazard of injury exists due to unintended operation. When
P106 [Start Source] is set to option 3, and the Run input is maintained, the
Run inputs do not need to be toggled after a Stop input for the drive to run
again. A Stop function is provided only when the Stop input is active (open).
3-10 Programming and Parameters
Basic Program Group (continued)
P107 [Stop Mode] Related Parameter(s): P106, A418, A425, A427, C304
Active stop mode for all stop sources [e.g. keypad, run forward (I/O Terminal 02), run reverse (I/O
Terminal 03), RS485 port] except as noted below.
Important: I/O Terminal 01 is always a coast to stop input except when P106 [Start Source] is set for
3-Wire control. When in three wire control, I/O Terminal 01 is controlled by P107 [Stop Mode].
Hardware Enable Circuitry
By default, I/O Terminal 01 is a coast to stop input. The status of the input is interpreted by drive
software. If the application requires the drive to be disabled without software interpretation, a dedicat-
ed hardware enable configuration can be utilized. This is accomplished by removing the ENBL
enable jumper on the control board. In this case, the drive will always coast to a stop regardless of the
settings of P106 [Start Source] and P107 [Stop Mode].

Auto-Reset/Run When this type of fault occurs, and A451 [Auto Rstrt Tries] is
set to a value greater than 0, a user-configurable timer, A452
[Auto Rstrt Delay], begins. When the timer reaches zero, the
drive attempts to automatically reset the fault. If the condition
that caused the fault is no longer present, the fault will be reset
and the drive will be restarted.
