I bought a secondhand Omron 3G3MV AB040.

I have to test the VFD as soon as it arrives, after some time waiting for the bloke to answer my email he asked me to send him an email saying I wouldn't ask for my money back if it didn't work; which I obviously refused to do. So I need to test it works as soon as I get it.

I haven't ever run a VFD before.
Can I just wire it up and switch it on?
Should I leave the motor wires off and switch it on and peruse the menus and set stuff prior to connecting the motor and switching on?
The motor it will be running is a Yaskawa spindle motor
Or are they well protected and fault or complain in some way if the settings are wrong?

I'd hook the load motor to it before powering it up. Make sure you hook the line leads to the power in and the motor leads to the motor terminals, otherwise you will damage it. Make sure the ground wire is also hooked up. Then it should be ready to report any faults upon power up.

As HU suggests the best test is with a motor, you should be able to run from the front keypad or local mode.
It may pay to set the motor details as # poles, base speed, voltage etc from the nameplate.
