5.8.1: Auto Phase Warnings and Notes 
Warnings 
Motor Motion 
!
Danger 
Applying AC power to the amplifier may result in motor motion. Be sure that motor 
motion will not cause injury. 
Failure to heed this warning can result in equipment damage, injury, or death. 
High Voltage 
!
Danger 
Applying AC power to the amplifier applies high voltage to the amplifier-motor 
connections and cabling. Protect personnel against electrical shock. 
Failure to heed this warning can result in equipment damage, injury, or death. 
Notes 
• Do not connect a load to the motor before performing Auto Phase procedure. 
• Always connect the motor using the same configuration. 
• Wire properly and consistently. 
• Connections are actually changed within the DSP, not at the motor terminals, and the results are 
saved to flash memory. The actual wire configuration should NEVER change. 
• Brushless motors require two electrical cycles for auto phasing. 
Phasing accomplishes several objectives: 
• Checks the encoder or resolver and establishes proper commutation. 
• Checks the motor power wires for proper connection and establishes proper phasing. 
• Checks the Hall switches and establishes proper commutation.
