Quattro™ Startup guide
1. Prior to applying any voltage to the drive complete the following steps.
2. Record the following motor data;
a. Rated Motor Volts, Amps, Field amps forcing, Field amps running
b. Rated motor RPM, Rated encoder PPR, Elevator speed (ft/min, m/sec, mm/sec)
c. If using a friction wheel, find the ratio between wheel and the surface it is riding on
3. Disconnect the motor armature wires and the field wires from the drive;
a. Using a megger at 500 – 1000V, a good reading is 2Mohms or larger.
i. Armature
1. Check A1 to ground
2. Check A2 to ground
3. If a breakdown is detected this must be addressed before
proceeding.
ii. Field
1. Check F1 to ground
2. Check F2 to ground
3. If a breakdown is detected this must be addressed before
proceeding.
iii. Armature - Field
1. Check A1 /2 to F1 / 2
2. If a breakdown is detected this must be addressed before proceeding.
b. Measure the total field resistance (F1 – F2) with a DVOM, record this number.
c. Measure the resistance of each individual field coil.
d. Perform an AC drop test on the field coils.
i. Apply 120 / 240VAC to F1 and F2, measure the AC voltage on each coil.
1. These numbers should be similar for each coil.
4. Is Quattro configured with the standard field module or the alternate low voltage version?
a. High voltage module generates motor field current from 1 – 40A. This module will
work for all cases and has no additional switches or jumpers to set.
b. Low voltage module is design for to separate ranges; 1- 20A and 20 -40A. The
hardware requires two separate hardware setups to set the range. This module can
be identified by the addition of a transformer plugged in at location J3, for the low
range this must be located in the ‘A’ position and the high range would be the ‘B’. In
addition JP1 jumper must be installed in the ‘A’ location for low and ‘B’ for the high
range.
If using the low voltage supply, this quick check should be completed to verify it will work on
this specific motor;
Calculate both Vbus (DC bus voltage) and Vf (voltage required on the motor field to reach full
field amps).
Vbus = (Vin x SQRT 2) + DC Bus Voltage Boost (A5), where Vin is the three phase AC
voltage applied to the Quattro, if an auto-transformer is used then this would be measured at
the secondary, SQRT 2 = 1.41, DC Bus Voltage Boost (A5) is defaulted to 30 and has the
range of 15 – 75.
Vf = Full FLD Current (A6) x Field resistance, where the Full FLD Current is the maximum DC
current which will be applied to the motor fields, field resistance is obtained by disconnecting
the motor field wires at TB3 – 1 and TB3 -2 and measuring the resistance. A typical number
for this would be 5 – 100 ohms.
These are the two condition which are being tested;

a. Full FLD Current (A6) less than or equal to 20
a. Vbus / 2 must be greater than or equal to (Vf x 1.5)
b. Full FLD Current (A6) greater than 20
a. Vbus / 4 must be greater than or equal to (Vf x 1.5)
If either of these conditions are not true then the standard field module must be used
5. Input voltage requirements.
These are the two equations to calculate to determine the minimum AC voltage applied to the
drive based on the conditions;
‐ Rated drive amps is the current rating of the Quattro
DC drive 125, 150, 200, 250, 300.
‐ Full Load Motor Volts is the required voltage to run at
contract speed up at full load. If this isn’t know use the
motor nameplate volts.
a. V L-L = (((Full Load Motor Voltage X 1.3) – 75) / 1.41)
Equation 1. Nominal Line to Line voltage
b. V L-L = ((Rated motor current X Full Load Motor voltage x 0.92) / rated
drive amps)
Equation 2. Nominal Line to Line voltage
The drive will require the larger of the values from Equation 1 and 2. This determines
minimum voltage required to operate that motor. If the actual voltage is less than this calculation, then
it would be required that the voltage be stepped up. Magnetek has optional Auto transformers
specifically designed for this purpose and will fit within the Quattro drive enclosure. If the actual
voltage applied to the Quattro exceeds 1.5 x rated motor voltage, then it would be recommended that
the voltage be stepped down to closer to 1 to 1.1 times rated motor voltage. The chart shown below
provides a method to select an auto transformer.
6. Open the fuse holders in the drive labeled F1, 2, 3, 4
7. Apply three phase power to the drive, measure the 230V control power on the line side of F1,
F2. This should be between 220 and 240Vac.
8. Turn off the three phase power and close the F1, F2 fuse holders. Re-apply the three phase
power. Locate the LV Power Distribution PCB (A10), verify the low voltage DC levels;

3
a. Check TP1 +5V, TP3 +15V, TP4 -15V, Reference TP2 COM, TP5 +24V, reference
TP6 C_24V.
9. Verify all of the drive parameters are set according to the controller manufacturers
recommendations.
10. Close the F3, F4 fuse holders, and clip the meter leads on those same points. Set the meter
on DC voltage. Push the PCM relay in for about 1s (damage will occur if held in longer!!),
then release, the meter should read the line voltage x 1.41. Dropping slowly is normal, quick
is not a good condition.
11. Once, the drive has passed all of the steps, the drive is ready to run the auto tune. To start
the process, go to the selection ‘A4 AUTO TUNE MOTOR’. If it completes with no faults, then
go into the A4 menu and select the gain selection method ‘Use self-tune’, the drive is ready to
run the elevator.
12. Next, the field current can be adjusted.
a. In the A6 menu, there is forcing current, running current and standing current. The
forcing current may be on the motor N.P. or perhaps the field voltage is available (FFA
= FFV / Field R). After that step is complete, run the elevator from bottom to top at
100% contract speed, adjust the weak field amps until the armature volts measure
nameplate. Standing field can be set to 10 – 25% of the forcing current.
13. At balanced load run the elevator from bottom to top, then top to bottom. Look in the D1 menu
and locate the Estimated Inertia, enter this as the new inertia in the A1 menu.
