General Information
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or incorrect
installation or adjustment of the optional operating parameters of the equipment or from mismatching the variable speed
drive with the motor.
The contents of this guide are believed to be correct at the time of printing. In the interests of a commitment to a policy
of continuous development and improvement, the manufacturer reserves the right to change the specification of the
product or its performance, or the contents of the guide, without notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electrical or
mechanical including photocopying, recording or by an information storage or retrieval system, without permission in
writing from the publisher.
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 (di14/0.49) and Pr 11.34. This takes the form
of xx.yy.zz where Pr 11.29 (di14/0.49) displays xx.yy and Pr 11.34 displays zz. (e.g. for software version 01.01.00,
Pr 11.29 (di14/0.49) = 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, while 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 viewed at:

1 Safety Information
1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes
A Warning contains information which is essential for
avoiding a safety hazard.
A Caution contains information which is necessary for
avoiding a risk of damage to the product or other equipment.
A Note contains information which helps to ensure correct operation of
the product.
1.2 Electrical 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.
1.3 System design and safety of
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.
personnel
1.4 Environmental limits
Instructions within the supplied data and information within the Mentor
MP User 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.
1.5 Access
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety
regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
1.6 Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire
enclosure must be provided.
1.7 Compliance 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 Mentor MP User 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
1.8 Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
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 forced ventilation 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 Pr 5.07 (SE07, 0.28), Motor rated current. This affects the thermal protection of the motor.
1.9 Adjusting 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.
1.10 Electrical installation
1.10.1 Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric
shock and may be lethal:
•AC supply cables and connections
•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.
1.10.2 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.

3 Mechanical Installation
3.1 Safety
Follow the instructions
The mechanical and electrical installation instructions must
be adhered to. Any questions or doubt should be referred to
the supplier of the equipment. It is the responsibility of the
owner or user to ensure that the installation of the drive and
any external option unit, and the way in which they are
operated and maintained, comply with the requirements of
the Health and Safety at Work Act in the United Kingdom or
applicable legislation and regulations and codes of practice
in the country in which the equipment is used.
Competence of the installer
The drive must be installed by professional assemblers who
are familiar with the requirements for safety and EMC. The
assembler is responsible for ensuring that the end product or
system complies with all the relevant laws in the country
where it is to be used.
If the drive has been used at high load levels for a period of
time, the heatsink can reach temperatures in excess of 70°C
(158°F). Human contact with the heatsink should be
prevented.
Enclosure
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.
3.2.3 Cooling
The heat produced by the drive must be removed without its specified
operating temperature being exceeded. Note that a sealed enclosure
gives much reduced cooling compared with a ventilated one, and may
need to be larger and/or use internal air circulating fans.
For further information, refer to section 3.6.2 Enclosure sizing on
page 26.
3.2.4 Electrical safety
The installation must be safe under normal and fault conditions.
Electrical installation instructions are given in Chapter 4 Electrical installation on page 32.
3.2.5 Electromagnetic compatibility
If it is necessary to meet strict emission limits, or if it is known that
electromagnetically sensitive equipment is located nearby, then full
precautions must be observed. The use of an external EMC filter may be
required at the drive inputs, which must be located very close to the
drives.
Space must be made available for the filters and allowance made for
carefully segregated wiring. Both levels of precautions are covered in
Table 12-42 Drive power stage terminals on size 2 drives on page 164.
3.2.6 Hazardous areas
The drive must not be located in a classified hazardous area unless it is
installed in an approved enclosure and the installation is certified.
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A
separate fire enclosure must be provided.
Many of the drives in this product range weigh in excess of
15kg (33lb). Use appropriate safeguards when lifting these
models.
See section 3.4 Mounting method on page 17.
3.2 Planning the installation
The following considerations must be made when planning the
installation:
3.2.1 Access
Access must be restricted to personnel only. Safety regulations which
apply at the place of use must be complied with.
3.2.2 Environmental protection
The drive must be protected from:
•moisture, including dripping water or spraying water and
condensation. An anti-condensation heater may be required, which
must be switched off when the drive is running
•contamination with electrically conductive material
•contamination with any form of dust which may restrict the fan, or
impair airflow over various components
•temperature beyond the specified operating and storage ranges
•corrosive gasses

Refer to section 12.1.2 Typical short-term overload limits on page 145
for drive losses.
Add the dissipation figures for each drive that is to be installed in the
enclosure.
Add the power dissipation figures for each EMC filter that is to be

Add the figures of all of the above to get a total heat dissipation figure (in
Watts) for the equipment in the enclosure.
Calculating the size of a sealed enclosure
The enclosure transfers internally generated heat into the surrounding
air by natural convection. The larger the surface area of the enclosure
walls, the better is the dissipation capability. Only the surfaces of the
enclosure that are not in contact with a wall or floor can dissipate heat.
