Sync Sync Logic Logic Numeric Numeric PCDU Checksum
Byte Byte command comman command command keystroke
FAh 05h Byte 1 d Byte 2 (high byte) (low byte)
Bytes 1&2: These bytes will always be set to FAh and 05h respectively. They are used for the
purpose of synchronizing the DSD 412 to the start of an incoming message from the host.
Byte 3: {N259_C001} This byte contains the logic commands sent from the host to the DSD 412. The
bit definitions are listed below:
B0: =1 to act as a synchronization bit for incoming messages from the host.
B1: =1 to act as a synchronization bit for incoming messages from the host.
B2: 0=Stop requested 1=Run requested
B3: 0=No request to clear faults 1=Clear fault requested
B4: 0=Demand Velocity is not DOWN 1=Demand Velocity is DOWN
B5: 0=Demand Velocity is not UP 1=Demand Velocity is UP
B6: 0=Idle field command 1=Full field command
B7: A rising edge of this signal acts as a latch to capture the Numeric Command and interpret it as
a new Pre-Torque value. This signal should be set to a zero by the host before it sends a new Pre-
torque value or when the host receives confirmation that the drive is in the run mode.
Byte 4: {N259_C002} This byte contains additional logic commands from the host to the DSD 412.
[Drive function #104 must be set to a 1 for this control to be active.]
B0: 0= No gain reduction 1= Velocity loop gain reduction is ON
B1-B7 are spares
Bytes 5&6: {N259_C000} These two bytes represent a signed 16 bit numeric value. The
definition of this value is determined by the status of Byte 3, Bit 7. If bit 7 is a 1, the value will be
interpreted as a pre-torque signal. If byte 3, bit 7 is a 0, the value will be interpreted as a velocity
reference. The limits for this value are: 7FFFh = +1 per-unit, 0000h = zero, 8000h = -1.0 per-unit.
Byte 7: The data in this byte is passed to the PCDU routines and is interpreted as a new PCDU
keystroke. If no 'key' is being pressed (a great majority of the time) the value of this byte will be 00h.
It is the responsibility of the host to insure that this byte contains the new non-zero keystroke data for
only one 15 MS transmission period. If this is not done, the DSD 412 will act as if a given key is being
'held down' instead of being pressed and released. The host must pace the placement of non-zero
data in this byte no more frequently than one character every 250 MS. This is done to give the PCDU
routines enough time to transmit the proper response display (possibly up to 32 ASCII characters)
before the next keystroke is read.

B7: 1=Drive NOT READY 0=Drive is READY
Byte 5: {N259_C012} This byte contains 8 logic signals to indicate additional faults:

Bytes 6&7: These two bytes contain an echo of the most recent Numeric Command target value
from the host. The format of the value is identical to that previously defined in the Demand Velocity
message.
Bytes 8-10: These 3 bytes contain ASCII display data normally intended for a serial terminal device
connected to the host. The host should simply pass all non-zero data (displayable ASCII characters)
that it receives in these two slots to the device that is emulating the PCDU. The host may ignore bytes
in these fields if they are set to 00h meaning that the DSD 412 has no data to display at this time. A
full PCDU display is 2 rows of 16 characters. Therefore, an update of an entire screen would require
several packets.
Byte 11: This byte contains the calculated checksum of the data within this packet. It is the
modulo-256 sum of bytes 1 through byte 10 inclusive.

Alarms are classified as non-critical faults detected
by the DSD 412 that pose no immediate need to
stop operation. The Alarm output relay K2 (on the
Drive Control PCB, A1) is reserved for non-critical
fault indications. It has a normally open contact
wired to A1TB1-38 and 39). With Function #182
set to 0 (OFF), the default, relay K2 will pick-up,

the relay will be picked-up during normal operating
conditions and drop out on the occurrence of a non-
critical fault or Alarm.
Alarms are presently identified as drive over-
temperature or thermistor failure, motor or
transformer thermostat over-temperature, and
motor overload trip. Other conditions may be
selectable to be alarms or critical faults.

 Drive Faults

Troubleshooting
ERROR/FAULT PROBABLE CAUSE/ — CORRECTIVE ACTION
CODE
400 MOTOR OVERLOAD FAULT --- Indicates that the drive has delivered excess
motor amps for a significant period of time.
 Refer to #83 and #84 for proper set-up.
 Check for dragging elevator brake or weakened motor field.
A motor overload fault does not automatically shut down the drive, but is
annunciated via the ALARM relay output K2. See #182
401 EXCESSIVE FIELD CURRENT --- Indicates that measured motor field current
exceeded 125% of rated current #50. – Causes:
 Partially shorted motor field coil. Check motor field.
 Wrong data entry causing unstable motor field current regulator. Review and
verify settings for #49, 50, 51, 52, 54, & 55.
 Mis-wiring of module A3. Verify that phasing is correct.
 Wrong current tap at A3, TB4, or A3 SW1 setting. Verify.
 Malfunction of motor field power circuit. Check module A3.
402 LOOP CONTACTOR FAULT— The Loop Contactor auxiliary contact does not
pick up or drop out within the designated time as requested by the DSD 412
drive. See #102. – Causes:
 Defective Loop Contactor Aux. Check for proper feedback at TB1-7.
 Defective Contactor. Check for open coil or mechanical binding.
 Defective Pilot Relay LPR.
 Interference from other elevator relay contact circuits.
403 FIVE-MINUTE FULL FIELD – Indicates that the Drive and Field Enable control
circuit at TB1-9 was active for 5 minutes without starting the drive. This can
cause motor field burnout. Check car controller relay logic.
404 OPEN ARMATURE CIRCUIT – A large current error existed for ½ second.
 Check the DC link fuse F4.
 Check motor armature circuit wiring.
 Check power poles in the DC loop contactor.
405 SAFETY CIRCUIT FAULT—The Drive has detected that the Safety Circuit wired
between TB3-1 and TB3-6 on the Power supply opened unexpectedly while the
drive was in the run mode. The safety chain must be closed at least 100ms prior
to enabling the drive. Check for intermittent connections in the Safety Chain.
406 LOW LINE ALARM – Indicates that the input AC line voltage sagged more than
10% below nominal line volts as set at #9. This does not shut down the drive but
may be an indication that work is needed to avoid future Low Line shut down
faults, F904.
407 DCU CEMF FAULT - The CEMF of the motor exceeded 109% of measured AC
input voltage to the Drive. This is a warning only and does not cause an
automatic drive shut down. – Causes:
 3 Phase Input AC Line Voltage drooped or is too low.
 CEMF on motor rises above VAC input voltage.
 Motor field current set too high. Verify weak field set point #49 Vs desired
motor voltage at top speed.
 Check & correct motor field control tuning to prevent CEMF overshoot.
Review and verify settings for #49, 50, 51, 52, 54, & 55.

ERROR/FAULT PROBABLE CAUSE/ — CORRECTIVE ACTION

CODE
408 PCU CEMF FAULT - The CEMF of the motor exceeded 118% of the rated VAC
input voltage to the Drive. This fault causes a drive shut down to prevent fuse
blowing. – Causes:
 3 Phase Input AC Line Voltage is low. Check and correct.
 Incorrect motor field current setting or field regulator miss-operation causing
excessive CEMF. Check & correct.
 Excessive drive speed overshoot. Correct with velocity regulator
adjustments.
 Check and correct motor field control dynamic tuning to prevent CEMF
overshoot. Review and verify settings for #49, 50, 51, 52, 54, & 55.
409 PCU RESET — PCU processor was unexpectedly reset. Verify that correct PCU
software and revision level is being used. Possible problem with main circuit card
hardware. Look for external noise interference. Ensure that equipment and
signal grounding connections are proper. Correct as necessary. If problem
remains, replace Drive Control PCB.
410 SPEED ERROR TRIP FAULT --- Indicates that a large speed error existed for a
significant period of time. Look for dragging brake or weak motor field. See the
explanations for #99 & #100.
411 MAX AUTO-RESETS ATTEMPTED --- Indicates that more than 5 automatic
resets were necessary in less than 20 minutes of accumulated time. See the
explanation for #101.
413 FIELD CURRENT TRACKING FAULT --- Indicates that the ACTUAL field current
is failing to track the field current COMMAND by more than F192 (Default = 0.05)
for 5 seconds. This is not a shut down fault.
 Check AC voltage on AC1 and AC2 – Typically 1.5 to 2.5 times VAC (min),
where VACmin = VDC/0.9 or (Full Fld Amps * Field resistance)/0.9
 Drives not using correct self-tune values and/or field response set incorrectly.
 3. Monitor F620 Fld Trkg Diff, it should be less than F192 "F413 Detection
Level". By setting F192 higher it can eliminate this warning, Caution should
be observed prior to doing this. If the proper conditions exist the data on F620
display should not exceed 0.05PU for over 5 seconds.
414 SOFTWARE COMPATABILITY FAULT --- Indicates that the PCU (U13, U14)
Version and or Revision won’t operate with the DCU (U39, U40) installed in the
drive.
 Contact Magnetek
13-17, 21-26, MISC FAULTS - Problem with either hardware or software on the Drive Control
100-104, 112-114, PCB. See list at Section 4.5.
220-234, 240-254, Check and/or replace U13, U14, U39, U40 (EPROM’s).
926 Replace Drive Control PCB A1.
117 / 118 SERIAL COMMUNICATION FAULT
117 = Serial comm. not started within 20 seconds after drive reset or power up.
118 = Valid serial comm. message not received for more than 150 MS.
 Ensure that host is connected and sending valid messages.
 Look for and correct electrical grounding noise interference problem.
 If Serial comm. is not being used do not set #110 to selection 3.

ERROR/FAULT PROBABLE CAUSE/ — CORRECTIVE ACTION

CODE
97 OVERSPEED FAULT - The motor speed has exceeded the trip level set in
function #12, as measured by the encoder. #12 is a percentage of the motor
speed value set in #11. Possible cause
 Incorrect setting of #10, #11 or #12.
 Poor speed regulator tuning - Check #40, 41 & 42
 Velocity reference set above rated speed.
 Intermittent velocity encoder.
98 TACH LOSS FAULT - The drive does not see the encoder velocity in proportion
to armature voltage indication of speed. Refer to Function explanations for #14
and #15.
 Ensure that the encoder is working. Look for loose connections.
 Raise the value for #14 if motor has high resistance.
 Ensure that the contactor feedback circuit at A1TB1-7 does not close before
the armature power poles. See timing diagram on page 49.
99 REVERSED TACH FAULT — The digital encoder and motor voltage signals do
not agree in direction of rotation. Probable cause: Encoder leads are reversed.
Reverse connections for A and A/NOT.
900 PCU LOOP FAULT - The contactor did not close or opened unexpectedly. Or
the motor voltage exceeded 30% of rated motor voltage #7 during Self-Tune
#997. When this occurs, the Severe Fault flag is set and the DSD 412 current
reference is forced to zero. This fault will shutdown the drive.
 Check the contactor aux feedback circuit to TB1-7.
 Check contactor and LPR coils for proper operation.
 Check that power is being applied to LPR from the power supply at TB3- 5.
(Will be momentary until F900 occurs.) If not there, suspect an internal relay
failure. Replace A4, Power Supply PCB.
901 PCU IST FAULT – Current flow in excess of 300% of rated armature current
detected. Check for:
 Ground fault or intermittent connection in motor armature circuit.
 Faulty current measuring module.
 Poor current regulator tuning.
902 POWER SUPPLY FAULT (CPU Reset Required)
The Low Voltage Power Supply (A4) output has dropped below 60% of the rated
voltage. This fault will shutdown the drive. Possible causes:
 Loss of 115VAC power.
 Short circuits in +5V, +/-15V, or +24V circuits, possibly external to the drive.
 Failed Power Supply
 Blown fuse internal to power supply.
903 LINE SYNCRONIZATION FAULT (CPU Reset Required)
The Phase Locked Loop has lost synchronization with the 3 Phase AC input
power supply. When this occurs, the Severe Fault flag is set and the current
reference is forced to zero. Generally this is caused by AC input power problems
and is self-correcting. This fault will shutdown the Drive.
This fault will often occur with a F904 fault.
904 LOW LINE VOLTAGE FAULT
The AC input power has dropped below 80% of the Nominal AC Line Voltage #9
for 3 consecutive cycles or lower than 50% for one cycle. When this occurs, the
Severe Fault flag is set and the DSD 412 current reference is forced to zero. This
fault will shutdown the Drive.

the following conditions:
#49 when Drive is in Field Weakening Mode (Top speed).
#50 when Drive is in Full Field Mode (Accel or Decel).

Probable causes are:
 Open circuit failure of motor field or motor field wiring.
 Hardware failure of motor field control circuitry.
 Loss of power or incorrect phasing to Field Rectifier.
906 DCU FAILURE FAULT (DSD 412 Power down is required.)
The update of the Dual Port RAM from the Drive Control Unit (DCU) is unreliable.
This requires the replacement of the Drive Control PCB, A1. This fault will
shutdown the drive.
907 THERMISTOR FAULT The thermistor is found to be open or shorted. Check
and/or replace the thermistor. It should measure between 2K – 10K ohms at 20C
room temperature. A Thermistor Fault will also occur if the machine room
ambient temperature is below 0C as the resistance it detected is too high to be
measured. An open thermostat on larger drives will also indicate F907. This fault
will not shutdown the Drive.
908 OVER TEMPERATURE FAULT - The calculated SCR junction temperature is
above 125 degrees Centigrade. This is calculated from the thermistor heat sink
measurement and measured armature output current heating effects of SCRs.
Possible causes:
 Ambient temperature too high. Check for cause.
 Clogged air filter in cabinet. Clean or replace air filter.
 Clogged heat sinks. Clean Heatsink fins.
 Cooling fan failure. Replace defective cooling fan(s) in power cube.
Note: This fault will not shutdown the Drive.
909 RIPPLE FAULT - Repeated high peak to average motor armature current. The
cause of this condition may be defective hardware that can be discovered
through the PCU Diagnostics CDU function, #998. It may also occur due to poor
regulator tuning or other oscillatory operation condition.
910 BLOWN FUSE FAULT - One or more of the three AC line fuses is open. This
condition is checked on power-up and upon request through the PCU F#998 PCU
Diagnostics function. Detection is accomplished by measurements via voltage
dividers on the Armature Interface PCB, A2. Possible causes are;
 One or more of AC input fuses are blown.
 Power wiring problem-check wiring.
 Faulty DSPR power relay.
911 SHORTED SCRS/DOUBLER FAULT (DSD Power Down is required.)
One of the SCR/Doubler packs has a short circuit between the SCRS. This
condition is checked only upon request through the PCU #998 Diagnostics CDU
function. The optional handheld PCDU will also identify which SCR pair is bad.
912 OPEN SCR FAULT (DSD Power Down is required.)
One of the SCRs does not conduct current. This condition is checked only upon
request through the PCU #998 Diagnostics CDU function. The optional handheld
PCDU will also identify which SCR pair is bad. Check for faulty SCR gating
leads.

 Drive Faults

ERROR/FAULT PROBABLE CAUSE/ — CORRECTIVE ACTION

CODE
915 PARAMETER SETUP FAULT (DSD power down is required.)
One of the following parameters is not within the range of the chassis hardware.
Rated Volts #7 or #9
Rated Current #3 or #50
Corrective action: Enter correct parameter data, save to NVRAM. Reset the
drive & re-start.
916 FORCING FAULT – The prohibit rotation bit was removed with the loop picked-
up. This fault can only occur when using the handheld PCDU.
917 REVERSE ARMATURE POLARITY - (DSD power down is required.)
This fault will show up when doing the F998 PCU Diagnostics Test. It indicates
that the polarity of the Armature Voltage Feedback wires is reversed or missing.
Check connections on A1TB5-1 and A1TB5-2 of the Armature Interface PCB, A2.
F909 faults and/or very poor drive/ride performance may occur if not corrected.
919 LINE VOLTAGE SETTING FAULT (DSD power down is required.)
This fault is declared if a number is entered for the Rated Line Voltage, #9 that is
outside the acceptable range of 150 to 525VAC. If 0 is entered, the rated line
voltage defaults to 230 or 460 VAC depending on the line voltage sensed.
920 LOAD VOLTAGE SETTING FAULT (DSD power down is required.)
Declared if the Rated Armature Voltage, #7 value is outside the acceptable range
of 150 to 700 VDC.
921 BRIDGE RATING FAULT (DSD power down is required.)
The bridge type is determined by reading a sense resistor on the Cube ID PCB
plugged into the A2 Armature Interface PCB. The resistor value identifies the
ampere rating and current feedback scaling of the physical hardware. This failure
occurs if the computer cannot identify the drive size. Possible causes:
 J14 on Main Control PCB is not seated properly.
 Missing or wrong Cube ID PCB.
 Wrong PCU software in U13 & 14.
 Faulty Armature Interface PCB – replace PCB.
 Faulty Drive Control PCB – replace PCB.
923 LOAD CURRENT SETTING FAULT - (DSD power down is required.)
This fault is declared if a number is entered for Rated Armature Current, #3 that is
outside the acceptable range of 0.125 to 2.0 times the bridge current rating as
determined by the bridge sense resistor on the Cube ID PCB, on the Armature
Interface PCB.
924 FIELD CURRENT SETTING FAULT (DSD power down is required.)
This fault is declared if a number is entered for Rated Field Current #50 that is
outside the acceptable range of the Field Interface board, A3 current rating as
determined by the field sense resistor selected by SW1 on the Field Interface
PCB.
925 FIELD SENSE FAULT - (DSD power down is required.)
The field bridge rating is determined by reading a sense resistor on the Field
Interface board selected by SW1. This resistance identifies the motor field
current feedback scaling for the A/D converter. If the resistance value is not
recognized a Field Sense Fault is declared. This indicates that there is a
hardware fault on the Field Interface PCB, Drive Control PCB, or within the
interconnecting cables and hardware. Check that J13 is seated properly and that
the cable is not defective.

CODE
926 PCU WATCHDOG - (DSD power down is required.)
This fault is declared when the PCU is reset via its own software watchdog timer.
It is an indication of a PCB hardware problem more so than a DCU or PCU
software problem. A likely cause is severe electrical interference. Check for:
 Faulty EPROM’s or socket connections at U13, U14, U39 or U40.
 Ensure that all panel relays have working R/C coil suppression. Include
relays that may be operating door opener equipment.
 Look for relays where the +24V and 115VAC signals are being switched in
the same relay. There must be arc barriers between contact poles to avoid
“spark splash” from 115 VAC circuits into 24 VDC logic.
 Check for intermittent grounds in the power circuit and in 24Vdc signal wiring.
 Noise generated over the encoder feedback, power supply, or Drive Control
PCB can cause this fault. Verify all connections and verify that the Drive
Control PCB is properly grounded.
 This fault is usually caused by electrical noise causing the DSD 412
microprocessor to malfunction. If this occurs when the car is stationary, the
car controller can quickly reset it. An elevator passenger doesn’t see any
effect.
Prot CORRUPTED NVRAM DATA – The NVRAM has lost parameter set up data.
This fault will occur if the battery within NVRAM chip U56 is weak. The drive
display will show ‘Prot” if a loss of data is detected when power has been re-
applied, and the processor attempts to load in default values while the NV-Protect
switch is in the ‘safe’ ON position. Replace U56 every 8 years.
" P.L. " POWER LOSS - Loss of 115 VAC control power. — Check cable connection at
TB3 of Power Supply Assembly A4. Ensure that control power is always above
92 VAC.
"– – –" BLOWN FUSES or loss of 3 phase input power. – Check for blown line fuses. If
fuses are not blown, verify that AC input voltage to drive is present. Verify that
power supply voltages are valid at TP1, 2, 3, & 4 on the main PCB. Check
connections to the Armature Interface PCB and ribbon cable at J4.
929 Motor field current does not reduce to near zero within 6 seconds. Verify
motor field current with an independent clamp-on DC ammeter.
Probable causes:
 Incorrect phasing of Vac supply to field control module. Provide correct single
phase supply wiring per connections shown in Figure 9 of this manual.
 Faulty SCR/Rectifier power module for motor field. Replace.
*May occur during Self-Tune (Fctn #997) or Self-Diagnostic (Fctn #998).

930 Motor field current does not increase to near rated amperes within 6
seconds. Verify motor field current with an independent clamp-on DC
ammeter.
Probable causes:
 Motor field not connected.
 Not enough voltage available to achieve rated field current. Maximum Vdc
output to motor field is 0.9 X Vac input at terminals A3TB1, AC1 & AC2. At –
10% low line, the maximum Vdc output is 0.8 x Vac. If this voltage is not
enough to produce rated field current through the resistance of the motor field
winding, reconnect the field windings for lower voltage (and higher current) or
provide a step-up transformer for the motor field circuit as shown in Figure 6
of this manual.
 Improper settings for the connected motor field. Insure that the proper current
tap at A3TB4 is used, and that calibration switch A3S1 is set correctly, and
that adjustments #49, #50, #52, and #55 are set correctly.
 Faulty SCR/Rectifier power module for motor field. Replace.
*May occur during Self-Tune (Fctn #997) or Self-Diagnostic (Fctn #998).
931 Excessive open circuit voltage to motor armature circuit. Measured
armature voltage is greater than 10% of rated volts #7.
Probable Causes:
 Motor is rotating, producing CEMF.
 Unbalanced SCR leakage with low voltage setting of #7. Increase #7 for test.
 Damaged SCR(s)
*May occur during Self-Tune (Fctn #997) or Self-Diagnostic (Fctn #998).
932 Armature CEMF volts >20% of rated during test.
Probable causes:
 Motor rotating during the test producing CEMF.
 High motor armature resistance. Ensure that brush commutator is clean.
Temporarily increase Rated Armature Volts, #7 during the test.
*May occur during Self-Tune (Fctn #997) or Self-Diagnostic (Fctn #998).
933 Motor armature current does not increase to near test amps within 6
seconds.
Probable causes:
 Faulty motor armature circuit. Check wiring and motor for open circuit.
 Open SCR or missing SCR gating. Perform Self-Diagnostics to verify.
*May occur during Self-Tune (Fctn #997) or Self-Diagnostic (Fctn #998).
934 Calculated armature inductance is less than 0.00017 Henry. The drive will
not Self Tune with less than 170 micro-henries of load inductance. Verify that
inductance is really that low. Verify that Vac value at #9 is correct. Manually
enter the minimum value into #5. Parameter #2 must be set to OFF.
*May occur during Self-Tune (Fctn #997) or Self-Diagnostic (Fctn #998).
935 Calibration of bus voltage and armature voltage feedback circuits does not

 Input – Output Signal Verification

Input – Output Signal Verification

The Control Display Unit (CDU) function #981 may be used to directly read and track the status of
logic input and output signals at DSD 412 drive terminals. This is an easy way to verify the integrity of
input and output logic signals to the drive. Refer to specific connection diagrams for your application
to confirm the definition of how each signal is being used. The I/O indicator technique as described
below will work regardless of whether or not the particular terminals and signals are used by internal
software logic or actually wired into your application. Function #981 does not work with the Portable
Control display Unit.

Here’s how to use this valuable troubleshooting tool:

1. Press the Up ▼ or Down ▲ keys and go to F#981.

2. Press the DATA FCTN KEY. The green light should turn ON to indicate that data is being
displayed.

3. Segments on the local Control Display Unit will light up to indicate active input and output logic
actions. Vertical segments represent input signals and horizontal segments represent output signals
as identified below. For more information, see appropriate Figure depending on whether the drive is
being run serially or analog.

Note 1. – Aug 2015 – Current transducer changes

15HP (25A) DSD412 – the LA-50-S/SP1 is EOL (kit no. LA05P00217-0015 should be uses if the drive has a the
LA-100 installed, if no longer available use the LA05P00217-0098 [LF205-S/SP1].
30HP (50A) DSD412 – the LA-100 is EOL (kit no. LA05P00217-0014 should be uses if the drive has a the LA-100
installed, if no longer available use the LA05P00217-0042 [LF205-S/SP3].
125HP (195A) DSD412 – the LF-305 connector has changed from a three pin to a four pin (kit no. LA05P00645-
0018 will now call for the new parts.
200HP (300A) DSD412 – the LC-1000 is EOL EOL (kit no. LA05P00217-0020 should be uses if the drive has a
the LC-1000 installed, if no longer available use the LA05P00217-2092 [LF505].
Note 2. – Aug 2015 – Cube I.D. changes
30HP (50A) DSD412 –
the LA-100 uses cube I.D. 46S03577-1030
the LF-205-S/SP3 uses cube I.D. 46S03577-2030
200HP (300A) DSD412 –
the LC-1000 uses cube I.D. 46S03577-1200
the LF-505 uses cube I.D. 46S03577-2200

CAUTION: THE CORRECT CUBE I.D. MUST BE USED WITH THE VARIOUS VERSIONS OF TRANSDUCERS.
IF THIS IS NOT CORRECT THE CURRENT SCALING OF THE MOTOR ARMATURE WILL BE INCORRECT.

Appendix
Packing Instructions

When receiving a drive from Magnetek:

1. Open Carton and remove the OSB panel located on top
of the drive.
2. Remove Foam from carton
3. Lift drive out of box, grip ONLY sheet
metal chassis. Do NOT lift using the
door assembly or the Field Interface
Board.
Figure 27: 125HP in Carton
4. Unbolt drive from 2x4s

When returning Drive to Magnetek:

1. Bolt drive onto 2x4s using same holes and hardware
as the received drive
2. Verify that the drive is securely placed onto the 2x4
lumber
3. Place drive into carton, grip ONLY sheet metal
chassis. Do NOT lift using the door assembly or the
Field Interface Board.
4. Place the four foam pieces into the box
 The 60Hp and 125Hp units use four of the same
foam pieces.
 The 200Hp units use two different foam pieces, two Figure 28: Lag Bolt in 2x4
for the front and two for the bottom.
 Verify the foam pieces slide into place in front of 2 x
4’s. This will also ensure the drive is centered in
carton.
5. Insert the 19” x 30” x 7/8” OSB Plywood on top of
foam pillars
6. Seal carton using carton tape.
7. Band carton(s) to pallet.
8. As many as 6 cartons can be placed on 48”L x 40”W
Pallet.

Figure 29: Palletized Carton

IMPORTANT
 Drive must be securely bolted down to the provided 2x4s to ensure no damage during shipping
 Foam must be placed correctly between the 2x4s and the carton
 OSB Board must sit on top of foam to ensure no damage to front of drive

WARNING
Drive must be palletized to ship and must be shipped via a company that allows pallets. For example,
FedEx does not ships pallets. See Figure 3 for illustration.
