Drive software version
This product is supplied with the latest software version. If this drive is to be connected to an existing system
or machine, all drive software versions should be verified to confirm the same functionality as drives of the
same model already present. This may also apply to drives returned from a Control Techniques Service
Centre or Repair Centre. If there is any doubt please contact the supplier of the product.
The software version of the drive can be checked by looking at Pr 11.29 and Pr 11.34. This takes the form
of xx.yy.zz where Pr 11.29 displays xx.yy and Pr 11.34 displays zz. (e.g. for software version 01.01.00,
Pr 11.29 = 1.01 and Pr 11.34 displays 0).
Environmental statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations
and of its products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management
System (EMS) which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS,
our Environmental Policy and other relevant information is available on request, or can be found at
www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save
energy and (through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap
throughout their long working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far
outweigh the negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded
but should instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the
products easy to dismantle into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap
together and can be separated without the use of tools, whilst other parts are secured with conventional
fasteners. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates,
while smaller products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre
content. If not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags
for wrapping product, can be recycled in the same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy prefers
easily-recyclable materials of low environmental impact, and regular reviews identify opportunities for
improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and
best practice.
REACH legislation
EC Regulation 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals
(REACH) requires the supplier of an article to inform the recipient if it contains more than a specified
proportion of any substance which is considered by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to be a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and is therefore listed by them as a candidate for compulsory
authorisation.
For current information on how this requirement applies in relation to specific Control Techniques products,
please approach your usual contact in the first instance. Control Techniques position statement can be

A Note contains information which helps to ensure correct operation of the product.
1.2Electrical safety - general warning
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns, and
could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to
the drive.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this Guide.
1.3System design and safety of personnel
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into complete
equipment or system. If installed incorrectly, the drive may present a safety hazard.
The drive uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored electrical
energy, and is used to control equipment which can cause injury.
System design, installation, commissioning / start-up and maintenance must be carried
out by personnel who have the necessary training and experience. They must read this
safety information and this guide carefully.
The STOP and START controls or electrical inputs of the drive must not be relied
upon to ensure safety of personnel. They do not isolate dangerous voltages from
the output of the drive or from any external option unit. The supply must be
disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before gaining access to
the electrical connections.
The drive is not intended to be used for safety-related functions.
Careful consideration must be given to the function of the drive which might result in a
hazard, either through its intended behaviour or through incorrect operation due to a
fault. In any application where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead
to or allow damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where
necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk - for example, an over-speed
protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a fail-safe mechanical brake
in case of loss of motor braking.

1.4Environmental limits
Instructions within the supplied data and information within the Commander SK
Technical Data Guide regarding transport, storage, installation and the use of the drive
must be complied with, including the specified environmental limits. Drives must not be
subjected to excessive physical force.
1.5Access
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply
at the place of use must be complied with.
The IP (Ingress Protection) rating of the drive is installation dependant. For further
information, refer to the Commander SK Technical Data Guide.
1.6Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must
be provided. For further information, refer to section 3.1 Fire protection on page 20.
1.7Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such as national
wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) regulations. Particular attention must be given to the cross-sectional areas of
conductors, the selection of fuses and other protection, and protective ground (earth)
connections.
The Commander SK Technical Data Guide contains instructions for achieving
compliance with specific EMC standards.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply
with the following directives:
2006/42/EC: Safety of machinery
2004/108/EC: Electromagnetic compatibility
1.8Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
Standard squirrel cage induction motors are designed for single speed operation. If it is
intended to use the capability of a drive to run a motor at speeds above its designed
maximum, it is strongly recommended that the manufacturer is consulted first.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less
effective. The motor should be installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an
electric force vent fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection of the motor.
The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered into parameter 06, motor rated current.
This affects the thermal protection of the motor.

1.9Mechanical brake control
The brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated operation of an
external brake with the drive. While both hardware and software are designed to high
standards of quality and robustness, they are not intended for use as safety functions,
i.e. where a fault or failure would result in a risk of injury. In any application where the
incorrect operation of the brake release mechanism could result in injury, independent
protection devices of proven integrity must also be incorporated.
1.10Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not
be altered without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system.
Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering.
1.11Electrical installation
1.11.1 Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and may
be lethal:
•AC supply cables and connections
•DC bus, dynamic brake cables and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must not be
touched.
1.11.2 Isolation device
The AC supply must be disconnected from the drive using an approved isolation device
before any cover is removed from the drive or before any servicing work is performed.
1.11.3 STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the motor or
any external option units.
1.11.4 Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the
AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC supply must
be isolated at least ten minutes before work may continue.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain, unusual
fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented
from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals. If the drive has failed
in a manner that causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors
will not be discharged. In this case, consult Control Techniques or their authorized
distributor.
1.11.5 Equipment supplied by plug and socket
Special attention must be given if the drive is installed in equipment which is connected
to the AC supply by a plug and socket. The AC supply terminals of the drive are
connected to the internal capacitors through rectifier diodes which are not intended to
give safety isolation. If the plug terminals can be touched when the plug is disconnected
from the socket, a means of automatically isolating the plug from the drive must be used
(e.g. a latching relay).

2.1Ratings
Safety Information
Commander SK sizes 2 to 6 are dual rated.
The setting of the motor rated current determines
which rating applies - Heavy Duty or Normal Duty.
The two ratings are compatible with motors
designed to IEC 60034.
The following graph illustrates the difference
between Normal Duty and Heavy Duty with respect
to continuous current rating and short term
overload limits.
Normal DutyHeavy Duty (default)
For applications which use self ventilated induction
motors and require a low overload capability (e.g.
fans, pumps).
Self ventilated induction motors require increased
protection against overload due to the reduced
For constant torque applications or applications
which require a high overload capability (e.g. cranes,
hoists).
The thermal protection is set to protect force

cooling effect of the fan at low speed. To provide
the correct level of protection the I2t software
operates at a level which is speed dependent. This
is illustrated in the graph below.
If the application uses a self ventilated motor and
increased thermal protection is required for speeds
below 50% base speed, then this can be enabled by
setting Pr 4.25 = 1.
The speed at which the low speed protection takes
effect can be changed by the setting of Pr 4.25.
See Menu 4 in the Commander SK Advanced User Guide for further details.
The protection starts when the motor speed is
below 15% of base speed when Pr 4.25 = 0
(default) and below 50% when Pr 4.25 = 1.
See Menu 4 in the Commander SK Advanced User Guide for further details.

2.2Typical short term overload limits
The maximum percentage overload limit changes depending on the induction motor
only. Variations in motor rated current, motor rated power factor and motor leakage
inductance all result in changes in the maximum possible overload. The exact value for
a specific motor can be calculated using the equations detailed in Menu 4 in the
Commander SK Advanced User Guide.

From cold From 100% full load
Normal Duty overload with motor rated
current = drive rated current
Heavy Duty overload with motor rated
current = drive rated current
110% for 215s110% for 5s

current = drive rated current
Heavy Duty overload with motor rated
current = drive rated current
110% for 165s110% for 9s
129% for 97s129% for 15s
Generally the drive rated current is higher than the matching motor rated current
allowing a higher level of overload than the default setting.
The time allowed in the overload region is proportionally reduced at very low output
frequency on some drive ratings.
The maximum overload level which can be attained is independent of the speed.
The output frequency can be increased by 20% during deceleration.

WARNING
Drive
5
o
5
o
The drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which prevents access except by
trained and authorized personnel, and which prevents the ingress of contamination. It
is designed for use in an environment classified as pollution degree 2 in accordance
with IEC 60664-1. This means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is
acceptable.
3.1Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must
be provided.
For installation in the USA, a NEMA 12 enclosure is suitable.
For installation outside the USA, the following (based on IEC 62109-1, standard for PV
inverters) is recommended.
Enclosure can be metal and/or polymeric, polymer must meet requirements which can
be summarized for larger enclosures as using materials meeting at least UL 94 class
5VB at the point of minimum thickness.
Air filter assemblies to be at least class V-2.
The location and size of the bottom shall cover the area shown in Figure 3-1. Any part of
the side which is within the area traced out by the 5° angle is also considered to be part
of the bottom of the fire enclosure.
Figure 3-1 Fire enclosure bottom layout
The bottom, including the part of the side considered to be part of the bottom, must be
designed to prevent escape of burning material - either by having no openings or by
having a baffle construction. This means that openings for cables etc. must be sealed
with materials meeting the 5VB requirement, or else have a baffle above.

Braking resistor overload protection parameter settings
Failure to observe the following information may damage the resistor.
The Commander SK software contains an overload protection function for a braking
resistor. The braking resistor overload protection Pr 10.30 and Pr 10.31 should be
used for SK2. Below are the parameter settings.
For more information on the braking resistor software overload protection, see the
Commander SK Advanced User Guide.
If the heatsink mounted braking resistor is to be used at more than half of its average
power rating then the drive's cooling fan must be set to full speed by setting Pr 6.45 to
On (1).
Braking resistor: High temperatures and overload protection
Braking resistors can reach high temperatures. Locate braking resistors so that
damage cannot result. Use cable having insulation capable of withstanding the high
temperatures.
It is essential that the braking resistor be protected against overload caused by a
failure of the brake control. Unless the resistor has built in protection, the circuit below
should be used, where the thermal protection device disconnects the AC supply to the
drive.

4.2Heatsink fan
4.2.1 Heatsink fan operation
The Commander SK is ventilated by an internal heatsink mounted fan. The fan housing
forms a baffle plate, channelling the air through the heatsink chamber. Thus, regardless
of the mounting method (surface or through-panel mounting), the fitting of additional
baffle plates is not required.
Ensure the minimum clearances around the drive are maintained to allow air to flow
freely.
The heatsink fan on Commander SK size 2 is a dual speed fan and on size 3 to 6, it is a
variable speed fan. The drive controls the speed at which the fan runs based on the
temperature of the heatsink and the drive's thermal model system. The Commander SK
size 3 to 6 is also installed with a single speed fan to ventilate the capacitor bank.
The heatsink fan on the Commander SK size 2 to 5 is supplied internally by the drive. The
heatsink fan on the size 6 requires an external +24Vdc power supply.
4.2.2 Heatsink fan supply
The heatsink fan on size 6 requires an external +24Vdc supply. The connections for the
heatsink fan supply must be made to the upper terminal connector near to the W phase
output on the drive. See Figure 4-8

4.3Ground leakage
The ground leakage current depends upon the internal EMC filter being installed. The

The above leakage currents are just the leakage currents of the drive with the internal
EMC filter connected and do not take into account any leakage currents of the motor or
motor cables.
With internal EMC filter removed
<1mA
In both cases, there is an internal voltage surge protection device connected to ground.
Under normal circumstances this carries negligible current.
When the internal EMC filter is installed, the leakage current is high. In this case, a
permanent fixed ground connection must be provided, or suitable measures taken to
prevent a safety hazard occurring if the connection is lost.
4.3.1 Internal EMC filter
It is recommended that the internal EMC filter be kept in place unless there is a specific
reason for removing it.
On Commander SK size 3, 4, 5 and 6, when used with ungrounded (IT) supplies, the
internal EMC filter must be removed unless additional motor ground fault protection is
installed or, in the case of size 3 only, the external EMC filter is also used.
For instructions on removal, refer to Figure 4-10.

Quick start
The internal EMC filter reduces radio-frequency emissions into the line power supply.
Where the motor cable length is short, it permits the requirements of EN 61800-3:2004
to be met for the second environment. For longer motor cables, the filter continues to
provide a useful reduction in emission level, and when used with any length of shielded
motor cable up to the limit for the drive, it is unlikely that nearby industrial equipment will
be disturbed. It is recommended that the filter be used in all applications unless the

4.3.3 Further EMC precautions
WARNING
Further EMC precautions are required if more stringent EMC emission requirements
apply:
•Operation in the first environment
•Conformity to the generic emission standards
•Equipment which is sensitive to electrical interference operating nearby
In this case it is necessary to use:
The optional external EMC filter
A shielded motor cable, with the shield clamped to the grounded metal panel
A shielded control cable, with the shield clamped to the grounded metal panel
Full instructions are given in the Commander SK Technical Data Guide
A full range of external EMC filters is also available for use with Commander SK.
4.4EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility)
4.4.1 Grounding hardware
The Commander SK size 2 and 3 are provided with a grounding bracket and grounding
clamp. They can be used as cable management bracket/clamp or they can be used to
facilitate EMC compliance. They provide a convenient method for direct grounding of
cable shields without the use of 'pig tails'. Cable shields can be bared and clamped to
the grounding bracket using metal clips or clamps* (not supplied) or cable ties. Note that
the shield must in all cases be continued through the cable clamp to the intended
terminal on the drive, in accordance with the connection details for the specific signal.
*A suitable clamp is the Phoenix DIN rail mounted SK14 cable clamp (for cables with a
maximum outer diameter of 14mm).
Figure 4-12 Fitting the grounding clamp
A faston tab is located on the grounding bracket for the purpose of connecting the drive
0V to ground should the user require to do so.
On Commander SK size 2, the grounding bracket is secured using the power ground
terminal of the drive. Ensure that the supply ground connection is secure after fitting/
removing the grounding bracket. Failure to do so will result in the drive not being
grounded.

Electric shock risk
WARNING
WARNING
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and
may be lethal:
•AC supply cables and connections
•DC and brake cables, and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must not be
touched.
User interface terminals can only be considered safe to touch if double insulation
is present and the terminals are SELV compliant.
It has come to our attention that not all users are following this advice and that
on touching the 0V connection on a size 3 drive an electric shock has been
experienced.
The voltage which is present between 0V and ground / earth is due to capacitive
coupling between the power and control circuits in the inverter. The stray capacitance
between the power and control circuits results in a high frequency leakage current
flowing. The current, which flows is dependent on the level of capacitance present. Note
that because of the high frequency content it cannot be measured correctly by a DVM.
The size 3 drive has a relatively high capacitance compared to size 2 and the current
can cause a painful shock, which is not directly hazardous, but could result in an
accident.
The voItage present between the 0V terminal and earth / ground may damage external
equipment connected to the drive’s 0V terminal.
On the Commander SK the serial communications port is not double insulated and thus
the serial communications 0V is connected directly to the control 0V therefore
equipment connected via serial communications can also be affected.
The following precautions should be implemented. This can be easily completed in two
ways:
1. Connecting the 0V directly to the triangular grounding bracket supplied with the
drive.
2. Connecting the 0V directly to earth / ground using the M5 ground connection.
If it is required for the 0V to remain floating with respect to earth, such as when a 420mA reference is being used, then this connection can be made using a capacitor of
15nF or higher (600Vdc). However, it should be recognized that there is only single
isolation, and the appropriate access protection should be facilitated.
The same part is available to order from your drive supplier for the Commander SK if
required, the part number is: 9500-0083. It should be connected as shown in Figure 4-
14.

run forward or run reverse terminal is closed, the drive will run straight away.
**Following a drive trip and a reset via the stop/reset key, the enable, run forward or run
reverse terminals will need to be opened and closed to allow the drive to run. This
ensures that the drive does not run when the stop/reset key is pressed.
The enable, run forward and run reverse terminals are level triggered apart from after a
trip where they become edge triggered. See * and ** above.
If the enable and run forward or enable and run reverse terminals are closed when the

6.1Parameter descriptions - Level 1
NoFunctionRangeDefaultsType
01 Minimum set speed0 to Pr 02 Hz0.0RW
Used to set the minimum speed at which the motor will run in both directions.
(0V reference or minimum scale current input represents the value in Pr 01).
NoFunctionRangeDefaultsType
02 Maximum set speed0 to 550 HzEur: 50.0, USA: 60.0RW
Used to set the maximum speed at which the motor will run in both directions.
If Pr 02 is set below Pr 01, Pr 01 will be automatically set to the value of Pr 02. (+10V
reference or full scale current input represents the value in Pr 02).
The output speed of the drive can exceed the value set in Pr 02 due to slip compensation
and current limits.
NoFunctionRangeDefaultsType
03 Acceleration rate
04 Deceleration rateEur: 10.0, USA: 33.0
0 to 3200.0 s/100Hz
Eur: 5.0, USA: 33.0
RW
Sets the acceleration and deceleration rate of the motor in both directions in seconds/
100Hz.
If one of the standard ramp modes is selected (see Pr 30 on page 62), the deceleration
rate could be extended automatically by the drive to prevent over voltage (OV) trips if
the load inertia is too high for the programmed deceleration rate.

The setting of Pr 05 automatically sets up the drives configuration.
Safety Information
A change to Pr 05 is set by pressing the MODE key on exit from parameter edit mode.
The drive must be disabled, stopped or tripped for a change to take place. If Pr 05 is
changed while the drive is running, when the MODE key is pressed on exit from
parameter edit mode, Pr 05 will change back to its previous value.
When the setting of Pr 05 is changed, the appropriate drive configuration parameters are
set back to their default values.
For example, changing Pr 05 from AI.AV to PAd, means that Pr 11 would change to 0

out to measure the motor’s stator resistance beforehand. If a stator resistance is not
measured, the drive may trip on OV or OI.AC while trying to catch a spinning motor.

When a rotating autotune is selected, the drive will accelerate the motor up to 2/3
maximum speed in Pr 02. Once a rotating autotune has been initiated (Pr 38 set to 2)
on Commander SK, it must be completed before the drive will operate normally. If the
rotating auto-tune is not completed (through the drive being disabled or a trip
occuring), the drive will only run at the autotune speed (2/3 rated speed reference)
when the drive is asked to run again.
The motor must be at a standstill before a non-rotating autotune is initiated.

Cooling fan control
The cooling fan on a Commander SK size 2 is a dual speed fan and on sizes 3 to 6, it is
a variable speed fan. The drive controls the speed at which the fan runs based on the
temperature of the drives heatsink and also the drive’s thermal model system. The
cooling fan on Commander SK size 6 is a variable speed fan which requires an external
+24Vdc power supply.

found on the UL website: www.ul.com.
Safety Information
10.1Common UL information
Conformity
The drive conforms to UL listing requirements only when the following are observed:
•The drive is installed in a type 1 enclosure, or better, as defined by UL50
•The ambient temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F) when the drive is
operating
•The terminal tightening torques specified in section 3.6.1 Terminal sizes and torque settings on page 32.
Motor overload protection
The drive provides motor overload protection. The default overload protection level is no
higher than 150% of full-load current (FLC) of the drive. It is necessary for the motor
rated current to be entered into Pr 06 (or Pr 5.07) for the protection to operate correctly.
The protection level may be adjusted below 150% if required. The drive also provides
motor thermal protection, refer to Pr 4.15, Pr 4.19 and Pr 4.25 in the Commander SK Advanced User Guide.
Overspeed protection
The drive provides overspeed protection. However, it does not provide the level of
protection afforded by an independent high integrity overspeed protection device.
10.2Power dependant UL information
Conformity
The drive conforms to UL listing requirements only when the following is observed:
Fuses
Size 2 to 3
•The correct UL-listed high speed/fast acting fuses (class CC or class J up to 30A
and class J above 30A), e.g. Bussman Limitron KTK series, Gould Amp-Trap ATM
series or equivalent, are used in the AC supply. The drive does not comply with UL
if MCBs are used in place of fuses.
For further details on fusing, refer to section 2.3
Size 4 to 6
•The UL-listed Ferraz HSJ (High speed J class) fuses are used in the AC supply. The
drive does not comply with UL if any other fuses or MCBs are used in place of those
stated.
For further details on fusing, refer to
Field wiring
Size 2 to 4
•Class 1 60/75°C (140/167°F) copper wire only is used in the installation
Size 5 and 6
•Class 1 75°C (167°F) copper wire only is used in the installation
Field wiring connectors
Sizes 4 to 6
•UL listed wire connectors are used for terminating power circuit field wiring, e.g.
Ilsco TA series
