Installation and usage precautions
1. The module should be installed in a well ventilated, dry, dust-free, and non corrosive gas environment, avoiding direct sunlight and rainwater erosion. The installation location should reserve sufficient heat dissipation space (it is recommended that there be no obstruction around the module by more than 50mm).
2. Before wiring, it is necessary to confirm that the input voltage matches the rated voltage of the module, strictly follow the wiring diagram for wiring, distinguish between input, output, and control circuits, and avoid module damage caused by wiring errors. The wiring of the power circuit should use cables that meet the specifications and ensure that the wiring is firm to prevent overheating caused by poor contact.
3. Parameter initialization is required before module debugging, and configuration should be carried out based on the model, rated power, rated speed, and other parameters of the driven motor to ensure that the motor matches the module. During the debugging process, it is necessary to gradually test various functions to avoid direct operation under load.
4. During daily operation, it is necessary to regularly check the operating status of the module, including temperature, vibration, noise, etc., and regularly clean the dust on the surface of the module and the cooling fan to ensure good heat dissipation. If any abnormal situation is found, the machine should be stopped for inspection in a timely manner to avoid the fault from expanding.
5. During maintenance, it is necessary to strictly follow the safety operating procedures, disconnect the input power of the module, and wait for the capacitor discharge to be completed (usually 10-15 minutes) before proceeding with the operation to avoid the risk of electric shock. Maintenance personnel need to possess professional electrical knowledge and relevant qualifications.
