How to do:
Check Motor
1. Disconnect motor from servopack
2. Use an isolation tester and check the coil (U/V/W) with 500V DC -> 200M Ohm is required
3. Use a miliohm-tester and check the coil (U/V/W) same vaule at all 3 Phase (balance)

Check the encoder

1. Use a oscilloscope and check all 6 signals: PA/*PA/PB/*PB/PC/*PC (control-power must turned on!)
2. If nessesary, disconnect encodercable at motor+servo-side and check by isolation / resistance

Check input (Main-power) circuit

1. Diode test from:
L1->P / L2->P / L3->P (~480mV) and opposite: P->L1 / P->L2 / P->L3 (infinity)
L1->N / L2->N / L3->N (infinity) and opposite: N->L1 / N->L2 / N->L3 (~480mV)

Check Regenerative circuit (0,3kw up to 5kw)

1. Diode test from :
B->N (~680mV) and opposite N->B (infinity)

Check Regenerative circuit (6kw and up)

1. Disconnect Regenerative resistor
2. Check Resistor by Ohm-tester
3. Diode test from P1->B (infinity) and opposite B->P1 (~410mV)
3. Diode test from B->N (infinity) and opposite N->B (infinity)

Check Output (inverter) circuit of servopack

1. Disconnect motor from servopack
2. Diode test from:
U->P / V->P / W->P (infinity) and opposite: P->U / P->V / P->W (~380mV)
U->N / V->N / W->N (380mV) and opposite: P->U / P->V / P->W (infinity)

Check Voltage:
1. Use a multimeter and check Voltage L1->L2 / L1->L3 / L2->L3 (do not check to ground!)
2. Use a oscilloscope and check Voltage L1->L2 / L1->L3 / L2->L3 (do not check to ground!)
3. Check Control-power by multimeter r-t

Check softcharge-resistor
1. Use a Ohm-tester
0,3 up to 5kw : P->B (value depends on servopack-size, but should not be infinity !)
6kw and up : P->P1 (value depends on servopack-size, but should not be infinity !)

Check parameter
Check all parameter with your list
If nessesary make factory-setting by generation and install new parameters

Check Battery
Check Voltage of battery (2,8Volt)

Check Communication
1. Check output-signals from NC-side + cable/connection
2. Check signal inputs by monitor-function of DOO (UN-05) or communication tool / svmon
