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 Environment 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 can very easily be
dismantled into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can
be separated without the use of tools, while other parts are secured with conventional screws.
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 highrecycled fibre content. If not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the
protective film and bags from wrapping product, can be recycled in the same way. Control
Techniques' packaging strategy favours 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.

1Safety Information
1.1Warnings, Cautions and Notes
Information
Safety
A Warning contains information, which is essential for avoiding a safety hazard.
WARNING
A Caution contains information, which is necessary for avoiding a risk of damage to the
product or other equipment.
CAUTION
NOTE
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 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.

1.5Access
Access must be restricted to authorised 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 SL Technical Data Guide.
1.6Compliance and 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 earth (ground)
connections.
The Commander SL 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:
98/37/EC: Safety of machinery
89/336/EEC: Electromagnetic compatibility
1.7Motor
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 fitted 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.
1.8Adjusting 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.
1.9Electrical installation
1.9.1Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and may
be lethal:
•AC supply cables and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must not be
touched.
6Commander SL Getting Started Guide
www.controltechniques.comIssue Number: 2
1.9.2Isolation 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.
1.9.3STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the motor or
any external option units.
1.9.4Stored 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 energised, 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 authorised
distributor.
1.9.5Equipment supplied by plug and soc ke t
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).

*A change to these parameters is set by pressing the MODE key on exit from
M
parameter edit mode. The drive must be disabled, stopped or tripped for a change
to take place. If these parameters are changed while the drive is running, when the
M
MODE key is pressed on exit from parameter edit mode, the parameter will
change back to its previous value.
** Not available on Commander SL Size B and C 400V units.
# If the drive is configured in fixed boost mode (Pr 41 = Fd or SrE) with catch a
spinning motor software enabled, an autotune (see Pr 41) must be carried 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.
## In all Ur modes, the drive operates in open loop vector mode. The motor/load must
be stationary before an autotune is carried out when one of the Ur modes is
selected. Carrying out an autotune when the motor/load is not stationary could
result in poor motor performance or OI.AC, It.AC or OV trips.
With USA defaults, the STOP key will be enabled.

Safety InformationRating Data
10.1UL information (for Commander SL size A, B and C)
10.1.1 Conformity
The drive conforms to UL listing requirements only when the following are observed:
•Class 1 60/75°C (140/167°F) copper wire only is used in the installation
•The ambient temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F) when the drive is
operating
•The terminal tightening torques specified in section 4.1 Power terminal connections
are used
•The drive is installed into a separate electrical enclosure. The drive has a UL
‘Opentype’ enclosure rating.
•UL listed class CC fast acting fuses e.g. Bussman Limitron KTK series, Gould AmpTrap ATM series or equivalent are used in the AC supply.
10.1.2 AC supply specification
The drive is suitable for use in a circuit capable of delivering not more than 100,000
RMS symmetrical Amperes at 264Vac RMS maximum (200V drives), 528Vac RMS
maximum (400V drives).
10.1.3 Motor overload protection
The drive provides motor overload protection. The overload protection level is 150% of
full-load current. It is necessary for the motor rated current to be entered into Pr 06 for
the protection to operate correctly. The protection level may be adjusted below 150% if
required.
10.1.4 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.
