4. When connecting a motor to the Drive, observe the following: • Preferably the motor should be identical to the motor that is to be used in the application, but this is not essential. • The motor shaft must not be attached to any equipment, or exposed. 5. No motor thermistor connection is required at this stage, but a thermistor will be required later if the Drive is to be operated in any macro configuration except Macros 1 and 5. When Macro 1 or Macro 5 is enabled, the thermistor is ignored
