4.7 Test Run
After you use the Setup Wizard to set the basic parameters and Auto-Tune the drive, the next step is to do a test
run.
WARNING! Crash Hazard. Test the system to make sure that the drive operates safely after you wire the drive and set
parameters. Failure to obey can cause injury or damage to equipment.
◆ No-Load Test Run
Before connecting the motor to the machine, make sure that you check the operation status of the motor.
■ Precautions before Operation
Before rotating the motor, check these items:
• Check for safety issues near the drive, motor, and machine.
• Make sure that all emergency stop circuits and machine safety mechanisms are operating correctly.
■ Items to Check before Operation
Check these items before operation:
• Is the motor rotating in the forward direction?
• Is the motor rotating smoothly (no unusual sounds or unusual vibrations)?
• Does the motor accelerate/decelerate smoothly?
◆ Do a No-Load Test Run

1. Energize the drive, or push to show the HOME screen.
If [Home] is not shown on , push (Back) to show [Home] on .
2. Push to illuminate the LOCAL/REMOTE indicator.
3. Push to show d1-01 [Reference 1], and set it to 6.00 Hz.
4. Push .

A - Forward Rotation of Motor (Counter Clockwise Direction as Seen from
Load Shaft)
6. Push to increase the frequency reference value.
Change the setting value in increments of 10 Hz if necessary and examine the response.
7. Each time you increase the setting value, use U1-03 [Output Current] to check the drive output current.
When the output current of the drive is not more than the motor rated current, the status is correct.
Ex.: 6 Hz → 20 Hz → 30 Hz → 40 Hz → 50 Hz → 60 Hz
8. Make sure that the motor rotates correctly, then push .
The RUN indicator will flash. When the motor stops, the indicator will go out.
