Illustration 1: Wiring Schematic

1) Do not connect cable shield.

Terminal 37 is used for Safe Torque Off (STO). For STO installation instructions, refer to the VLT® Frequency Converters - Safe Torque Off Operating Guide.

Long control cables and analog signals may in rare cases, depending on installation, result in 50/60 Hz ground loops due to noise from mains supply cables. If 50/60 Hz ground loops occur, consider breaking the shield or insert a 100 nF capacitor between shield and enclosure.

To avoid ground currents from both groups to affect other groups, connect the digital and analog inputs and outputs separately to the common inputs (terminals 20, 55, and 39) of the drive. For example, switching on the digital input may disturb the analog input signal.

Programming Guide	Safety Instructions

2.4 General Safety Precautions

W A R N I N G

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE

AC drives contain hazardous voltage when connected to the AC mains or connected on the DC terminals. Failure to perform installation, start-up, and maintenance by skilled personnel can result in death or serious injury.

-Only skilled personnel must perform installation, start-up, and maintenance.

W A R N I N G

DISCHARGE TIME

The drive contains DC-link capacitors, which can remain charged even when the drive is not powered. High voltage can be present even when the warning indicator lights are off.

Failure to wait the specified time after power has been removed before performing service or repair work can result in death or serious injury.

-Stop the motor.

-Disconnect AC mains, permanent magnet type motors, and remote DC-link supplies, including battery back-ups, UPS, and DC-link connections to other drives.

-Wait for the time specified in the Discharge Time tables for the capacitors to discharge fully before performing any service or repair work.

-Measure the voltage level to verify full discharge.

HOT SURFACES

The drive contains metal components that are still hot even after the drive has been powered off. Failure to observe the high temperature symbol (yellow triangle) on the drive can result in serious burns.

-Be aware that internal components, such as busbars, may be extremely hot even after the drive has been powered off.

-Do not touch exterior areas that are marked by the high temperature symbol (yellow triangle). These areas are hot while the drive is in use and immediately after being powered off.

2.5 Lifting the Drive

N O T I C E

LIFTING HEAVY LOAD

The weight of the drive is heavy and failure to follow local safety regulations for lifting heavy weights may cause death, personal injury, or property damage.

-Ensure that the lifting equipment is in proper working condition.

-Check the weight of the drive and verify that the lifting equipment can safely lift the weight.

-Always lift the drive using a lifting bar inserted into the lifting eyes. Maximum diameter for the lifting bar: 20 mm (0.8 in).

-The angle from the top of the drive to the lifting cable: 60° or greater.

-Test lift the unit approximately 610 mm (24 in) to verify the proper center of gravity lift point. Reposition the lifting point if the unit is not level.

2.6 Mechanical Installation Precautions

W A R N I N G

EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE

Installing the drive in a potentially explosive atmosphere can lead to death, personal injury, or property damage.

-Install the unit in a cabinet outside of the potentially explosive area.

-Use a motor with an appropriate ATEX protection class.

-Install a PTC temperature sensor on an ATEX PTC-Thermistor device to monitor the motor temperature.

-Install short motor cables.

-Use sine-wave output filters when shielded motor cables are not used.

2.7 Safe Operation

When operating the unit, refer to the Programming Guide and Application Guide for guidance and all applicable safety instructions.

•The drive is not suitable as the only safety device in the system. Make sure that additional monitoring and protection devices on drives, motors, and accessories are installed according to the regional safety guidelines and accident prevention regulations.

•Keep all doors, covers, and terminal boxes closed and securely fastened during operation.

Another easy way of commissioning the drive is by using the smart application set-up (SAS), which can also be found by pressing [Quick Menu]. To set up the applications listed, follow the instructions on the successive screens.

The [Info] key can be used throughout the SAS to see help information for various selections, settings, and messages. The following 3 applications are included:

•Mechanical brake.

•Conveyor.

•Pump/fan.

The following 4 fieldbusses can be selected:

•PROFIBUS.

•PROFINET.

•DeviceNet.

•EtherNet/IP.

N O T I C E

The drive ignores the start conditions when SAS is active.

Each parameter has a name and number which remain the same regardless of the programming mode. In the main menu mode, the parameters are divided into groups. The first digit of the parameter number (from the left) indicates the parameter group number.

All parameters can be changed in the Main Menu. However, depending on the choice of configuration (parameter 1-00 Configuration Mode), some parameters can be hidden. For example, open loop hides all the PID parameters, and other enabled options make more parameter groups visible.

3.1.9 Parameter Selection

In the main menu mode, the parameters are divided into groups. Select a parameter group with the navigation keys. After selecting a parameter group, select a parameter with the navigation keys.
