Step x
Step 1 Read the General Precautions
!
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: 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.

English-2 PowerFlex 70 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive Quick Start
!
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 terminal of
the Power Terminal Block and the -DC test point (refer to the User
Manual for location). The voltage must be zero.
!
ATTENTION: Configuring an analog input for 0-20mA operation and
driving it from a voltage source could cause component damage. Verify
proper configuration prior to applying input signals.
!
ATTENTION: Hazard of personal injury or equipment damage exists
when using bipolar input sources. Noise and drift in sensitive input
circuits can cause unpredictable changes in motor speed and direction.
Use speed command parameters to help reduce input source sensitivity.
!
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. DPI or
SCANport host products must not be directly connected together via
1202 cables. Unpredictable behavior can result if two or more devices
are connected in this manner.
!
ATTENTION: The “adjust freq” portion of the bus regulator function
is extremely useful for preventing nuisance overvoltage faults resulting
from aggressive decelerations, overhauling loads, and eccentric loads. It
forces the output frequency to be greater than commanded frequency
while the drive’s bus voltage is increasing towards levels that would
otherwise cause a fault; however, it can also cause either of the
following two conditions to occur.
1. Fast positive changes in input voltage (more than a 10% increase
within 6 minutes) can cause uncommanded positive speed changes;
however an “OverSpeed Limit” fault will occur if the speed reaches
[Max Speed] + [Overspeed Limit]. If this condition is unacceptable,
action should be taken to 1) limit supply voltages within the
specification of the drive and, 2) limit fast positive input voltage
changes to less than 10%. Without taking such actions, if this operation
is unacceptable, the “adjust freq” portion of the bus regulator function
must be disabled (see parameters 161 and 162).
2. Actual deceleration times can be longer than commanded
deceleration times; however, a “Decel Inhibit” fault is generated if the
drive stops decelerating altogether. If this condition is unacceptable, the
“adjust freq” portion of the bus regulator must be disabled (see
parameters 161 and 162). In addition, installing a properly sized
dynamic brake resistor will provide equal or better performance in most
cases.
Note: These faults are not instantaneous and have shown test results
that take between 2 and 12 seconds to occur.

CE Conformity(1)
Conformity with the Low Voltage (LV) Directive and Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) Directive has been demonstrated using
harmonized European Norm (EN) standards published in the Official
Journal of the European Communities. PowerFlex Drives comply with
the EN standards listed below when installed according to the User and
Reference Manuals.
CE Declarations of Conformity are available online at:
http://www.ab.com/certification/ce/docs.
Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)
•EN50178 Electronic equipment for use in power installations.
EMC Directive (89/336/EEC)
•EN61800-3 Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems Part 3:
EMC product standard including specific test methods.
General Notes
•If the adhesive label is removed from the top of the drive, the drive
must be installed in an enclosure with side openings less than 12.5
mm (0.5 in.) and top openings less than 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) to maintain
compliance with the LV Directive.
•The motor cable should be kept as short as possible in order to avoid
electromagnetic emission as well as capacitive currents.
•Use of line filters in ungrounded systems is not recommended.
•PowerFlex drives may cause radio interference if used in a
residential or domestic environment. The installer is required to take
measures to prevent interference, in addition to the essential
requirements for CE compliance listed below, if necessary.
•Conformity of the drive with CE EMC requirements does not
guarantee an entire machine or installation complies with CE EMC
requirements. Many factors can influence total machine/installation
compliance.
•PowerFlex drives can generate conducted low frequency
disturbances (harmonic emissions) on the AC supply system. More
information regarding harmonic emissions can be found in the
PowerFlex Reference Manual.
EMC Instructions
(1) CE Certification testing has not been completed for 600 Volt class drives.

English-4 PowerFlex 70 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive Quick Start
Essential Requirements for CE Compliance
Conditions 1-6 listed below must be satisfied for PowerFlex drives to
meet the requirements of EN61800-3.
1. Standard PowerFlex 70 CE compatible Drive.
2. Review important precautions/attention statements throughout this
manual before installing drive.
3. Grounding as described on page 1-5 of the User Manual.
4. Output power, control (I/O) and signal wiring must be braided,
shielded cable with a coverage of 75% or better, metal conduit or
equivalent attenuation.
5. All shielded cables should terminate with the proper shielded
connector.
6. Conditions in Table A.
Table A PowerFlex 70 EN61800-3 EMC Compatibility
Minimum Mounting Clearances
Specified vertical clearance requirements are intended to be
from drive to drive. Other objects can occupy this space;
however, reduced airflow may cause protection circuits to
fault the drive. In addition, inlet air temperature must not
exceed the product specification.
Maximum Surrounding Air Temperature
Important: Some drives are equipped with an adhesive label on the top of the
chassis. Removing the adhesive label from the drive changes the NEMA enclosure
rating from Type 1 Enclosed to Open Type.

“Ready” (0) = Parameter returns to this setting following a “Static Tune” or “Rotate
Tune.” It also permits manually setting [IR Voltage Drop] and [Flux Current Ref].
“Static Tune” (1) = A temporary command that initiates a non-rotational motor
stator resistance test for the best possible automatic setting of [IR Voltage Drop].
A start command is required following initiation of this setting. The parameter
returns to “Ready” (0) following the test, at which time another start transition is
required to operate the drive in normal mode. Used when motor cannot be
rotated.
“Rotate Tune” (2) = A temporary command that initiates a “Static Tune” followed
by a rotational test for the best possible automatic setting of [Flux Current Ref]. A
start command is required following initiation of this setting. The parameter
returns to “Ready” (0) following the test, at which time another start transition is
required to operate the drive in normal mode. Important: Used when motor is
uncoupled from the load. Results may not be valid if a load is coupled to the motor
during this procedure.
“Calculate” (3) = This setting uses motor nameplate data to automatically set [IR
Voltage Drop] and [Flux Current Ref].
