Hi Doddy
Just seen this ,,,bugger .never mind onwards and upwards.
Here is a few photos of the VFD that i purchased today , I bought this one as i didn't want to go and spend a load of money on a real good one yet as i would like to see if this set up works first and if it is viable .
The wire for the spindle was marked from 1 to 4 to start with so i soldered Wire 1 to pin 1 . Wire 2 to pin 2 and so on ( this was on the socket for the spindle.
And using my tester on the connectivity setting i tested each wire and connected them as follows

I connected the No 1 wire to the V
No 2 wire to the W
No 3 wire to the U

Then i pressed run and turned up the speed and at H 16 an error message came up.
any ideas please
I do think that VFD parameter setting is the way forward on this. But, just thinking about the wording above - I understand about 1 to V 2 to W and 3 to U - that's fine. Provided that the wires 1-3 on the motor are connected to the windings. 95% convinced that they will be, but work checking. You said "using my tester on the connectivity setting I tested each wire" - I don't quite understand your meaning. If I was testing which 3 of the 4 wires then I'd use a multimeter on the resistance range, and measure between wires 1-2, 2-3 and 3-1. These should all read about the same - somewhere around 1-3 ohms (I'm throwing a bit in for meter leads etc). And 1-4, 2-4, 3-4 should be open-circuit (possibly a high value if 4 is connected to the spindle metal enclosure - especially if held in your hand whilst measuring. If I squint hard enough at your words I could guess that's what you mean, but it's worth checking. VFDs don't particularly like having no load connected, and hate having a load disconnected when running, so worth to double check your understanding of your wiring before you power-up again.

Let us know how you get on with this, and the parameter setting. Oh, and note down the original settings for each parameter changed, if already set to non-factory setting in the manual.
