THANK YOU for purchasing the “Amtech Axpert-Eazy Series AC Variable Frequency Drive”. Axpert-Eazy Series AC Variable Frequency Drive is a modern Digital Signal Processor based highly functional AC DRIVE that is easy to use. It employs latest generation IGBT as a switching device and pwm control technique to apply commanded output to the motor to control the motor speed.
The person has been trained on protective tools used to ensure safety. KEEP SAFETY FIRST IN YOUR SYSTEM AMTECH puts the maximum effort into making products better and more reliable, but there is always the possibility that trouble may occur with them. Trouble with AC Drive may lead to personal injury, fire or property damage.
(3) Confirm that the product has not been damaged during shipment. The Axpert-Eazy Series AC Variable Frequency Drive should be kept in the shipping carton before installation. In order to retain the warranty coverage, the AC Drive should be stored properly when it is not to be used for an extended period of time.
Using the above type as an example, the type is displayed as follows: AXPERT- EAZY AMT - 055 - 4 Series name Capacity 55kW 4: 380 ~ 480VAC, 3-phase, 50/60Hz 5: 500 ~ 575VAC, 3-phase, 50/60Hz 6: 600 ~ 690VAC, 3-phase, 50/60Hz 2: 200 ~ 240VAC, 3-phase, 50/60Hz Amtech...
CHAPTER-2: INSTALLATION AND WIRING This chapter provides the information needed to properly install and wire the AC Drive. Make sure that the AC Drive is wired according to the instructions contained in this chapter. The instructions should be read and understood before the actual installation begins. CAUTION Install the AC Drive, dynamic braking unit and resistor, and other peripheral devices on noncombustible material such as metal.
Always observe the following items before carrying out the wiring work. Wait at least 20 minutes after turning the power off before starting work. Make sure that the displays on the Digital Operation Panel have gone out before removing the cover. Amtech...
Page 11
After removing the cover, confirm that the “DC BUS CHARGE LED“ in the unit on bleeder board has gone out. Also check that the voltage between terminals L+1 or L+2 and L- is 15V or less before starting the inspections. DB UNIT (Note 9) (Note 2)

The AC DRIVE will generate high harmonic electromagnetic noise, so using the following noise measures is recommended. Insert a noise filter on the input side of the AC DRIVE. Contact Amtech to select the proper noise filter. Keep the wiring length between the noise filter and AC DRIVE to 500mm (19.7”) or less.
Page 15
AC DRIVE is running. Directly connect only motor to the AC DRIVE load and do not connect through a transformer etc...without consulting Amtech. (Note 7) Grounding Always ground the AC DRIVE unit according to the regulations of the country where the AC DRIVE is being used to ensure personnel safety in all circumstances, and to reduce electromagnetic emission and pickup.

CHAPTER-4: TEST OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT DANGER Always install the front cover before turning the input power ON. Never remove the cover while the power is ON. There are sections in the front PCB that are charged with high voltages. Failure to observe this could lead to electric shocks. Never touch the switches with wet hands.
(6) Securely fix the motor with the specified method. (7) Make sure that none of the terminal section screws are loose. (8) Make sure that there is no short circuit state in the terminals caused by wire scraps, etc. Amtech...
(9) Always correctly install the front cover and outer cover before turning the power ON. (10) When using the IM vector control with speed sensor mode, make sure that the encoder signal cable is correctly connected to the control card terminal. (11) Assign an operator, and make sure that the operator operates the switches.
