Step 3 - selecting the motor
Selecting the motor
Motor selection is done with the 16 position
rotary switch on the front of the drive; refer to
the label on the drive to see the motor choices
available to you. Turn the rotary switch to the
number that represents the motor you have.
This selects important information stored on
the drive, such as current and anti-resonance
settings, to get the best performance from
your motor.
Setting up the Drive
Sets the running current to
70%, 80%, 90% or 100% of the
motor’s rated maximum current.

SW4 sets the idle
current to either
50% or 90% of the
selected running
current.
The STR has a built in Self Test function. If switch 8 is
moved to the ON position the drive will automatically rotate
the motor back and forth, two turns in each direction. This
feature can be used to confirm that the motor is correctly
wired, selected and otherwise operational.
