1. SAFETY

ONLY A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN IS ALLOWED TO CARRY
OUT THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION!

This manual contains clearly marked cautions and warnings which are intended for
your personal safety and to avoid any unintentional damage to the product or con­nected appliances.

Please read the information included in cautions and warnings carefully:

=Dangerous voltage

Risk of death or severe injury

=General warning

Risk of damage to the product or
connected appliances

1.1 Warnings

The components of the power unit of the frequency converter
are live when Vacon 10 is connected to mains. Coming into
contact with this voltage is extremely dangerous and may
cause death or severe injury. The control unit is isolated from
the mains potential.

The motor terminals U, V, W (T1, T2, T3) and the possible brake
resistor terminals - / + are live when Vacon 10 is connected to
mains, even if the motor is not running.

The control I / O-terminals are isolated from the mains poten­tial. However, the relay output terminals may have a danger­ous control voltage present even when Vacon 10 is
disconnected from mains.

The earth leakage current of Vacon 10 frequency converters
exceeds 3.5 mA AC. According to standard EN61800-5-1, a
reinforced protective ground connection must be ensured.

If the frequency converter is used as a part of a ma chine, the
machine manufacturer is responsible for providing the
machine with a main switch (EN 60204-1).

If Vacon 10 is disconnected from mains while running the
motor, it remains live if the motor is energized by the process.
In this case the motor functions as a generator feeding energy
to the frequency converter.

2 • vacon safety

After disconnecting the frequency converter from the mains,
wait until the fan stops and the indicators on the display go
out. Wait 5 more minutes before doing any work on Vacon 10
connections.

The motor can start automatically after a fault situation, if the
autoreset function has been activated.

1.2 Safety instructions

The Vacon 10 frequency converter has been designed for fixed
installations only.

Do not perform any measurements when the frequency con­verter is connected to the mains.

Do not perform any voltage withstand tests on any part of
Vacon 10. The product safety is fully tested at factory.

Prior to measurements on the motor or the motor cable, dis­connect the motor cable from the frequency converter.

Do not open the cover of Vacon 10. Static voltage discharge
from your fingers may damage the components. Opening the
cover may also damage the device. If the cover of Vacon 10 is
opened, warranty becomes void.

1.3 Earthing and earth fault protection

The Vacon 10 frequency converter must always be earthed with an earthing conduc­tor connected to the earthing terminal. See figure below:

MI1 - MI3

• The earth fault protection inside the frequency converter protects

only the converter itself against earth faults.

• If fault current protective switches are used they must be tested

with the drive with earth fault currents that are possible to arise in
fault situations.

3.1.2 Cooling

Enough free space shall be left above and below the frequency converter to ensure
sufficient air circulation and cooling. You will find the required dimensions for free
space in the table below.

If several units are mounted above each other the required free space equals C + D
(see Installation space). Moreover, the outlet air used for cooling by the lower unit
must be directed away from the air intake of the upper unit.

The amount of cooling air required is indicated below. Also make sure that the tem­perature of the cooling air does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature of
the converter.

3.1.4 EMC levels

EN61800-3 defines the division of frequency converters into four classes according
to the level of electromagnetic disturbances emitted, the requirements of a power
system network and the installation environment (see below). The EMC class of each
product is defined in the type designation code.

Category C1: Frequency converters of this class comply with the requirements of
category C1 of the product standard EN 61800-3 (2004). Category C1 ensures the
best EMC characteristics and it includes converters the rated voltage of which is less
than 1000 V and which are intended for use in the 1st environment.
NOTE: The requirements of class C are fulfilled only as far as the conducted emis­sions are concerned.

Category C2: Frequency converters of this class comply with the requirements of
category C2 of the product standard EN 61800-3 (2004). Category C2 includes con­verters in fixed installations and the rated voltage of which is less than 1000 V. The
class C2 frequency converters can be used both in the 1st and the 2nd environment.

Category C4: The drives of this class do not provide EMC emission protection. These
kinds of drives are mounted in enclosures.

Environments in product standard EN 61800-3 (2004)

First environment: Environment that includes domestic premises. It also includes
establishments directly connected without intermediate transformers to a low-volt­age power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

NOTE: houses, apartments, commercial premises or offices in a residential building
are examples of first environment locations.

Second environment: Environment that includes all establishments other than
those directly connected to a low-voltage power supply network which supplies
buildings used for domestic purposes.
NOTE: industrial areas, technical areas of any building fed from a dedicated trans­former are examples of second environment locations.

3.1.5 Changing the EMC protection class from C2 to C4

The EMC protection class of MI1-3 frequency converters can be changed from class
C2 to class C4 (except 115V and 600V drives) by removing the EMC-capacitor discon-

necting screw, see figure below.

Note! Do not attempt to change the EMC level back to class C2. Even if the procedure

above is reversed, the frequency converter will no longer fulfil the EMC require­ments of class C2!

3.2.4 Cable and fuse specifications

Use cables with heat resistance of at least +70°C. The cables and the fuses must be
dimensioned according to the tables below. Installation of cables according to UL
regulations is presented in Chapter Cable installation and the UL standards.

The fuses function also as cable overload protection.
These instructions apply only to cases with one motor and one cable connection from
the frequency converter to the motor. In any other case, ask the factory for more in­formation.

3.2.5 General cabling rules

Before starting the installation, check that none of the components of the fre-

1

quency converter is live.

Place the motor cables sufficiently far from other cables:

• Avoid placing the motor cables in long parallel lines with other cables.

• If the motor cable runs in parallel with other cables, the minimum distance
between the motor cable and other cables is 0.3 m.

• The given distance also applies between the motor cables and signal cables

2

3

4

of other systems.

• The maximum length of the motor cables for MI1-3 is 30 m. If use longer
cable, current accuracy will be decreased.

• The motor cables should cross other cables at an angle of 90 degrees.

If cable insulation checks are needed, see Chapter Cable and motor insulation
checks.

Connecting the cables:

• Strip the motor and mains cables as advised in Figure Stripping of cables.

• Connect the mains, motor and control cables into their respective termi­nals, see Figures Vacon 10 power connections, MI1 - Install the control
cables.

• Note the tightening torques of chapter3.2.1 power cables and chapter 3.2.2
control cables given in Vacon 10 power connections, MI1 and Install the
control cables. MI1 - MI3. See Chapter6.2.

• For information on cable installation according to UL regulations see Chap­ter Cable installation and the UL standards.

• Make sure that the control cable wires do not come in contact with th e elec­tronic components of the unit.

• If an external brake resistor (option) is used, connect its cable to the appro­priate terminal.

• Check the connection of the earth cable to the motor and the frequency
converter terminals marked with.

• Connect the separate shield of the motor cable to the earth plate of the
frequency converter, motor and the supply centre.

the control cables. MI1 - MI3. See Chapter 6.2.

3.2.7 Cable installation and th e UL standards

To meet the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) regulations, a UL-approved copper ca­ble with a minimum heat-resistance of +60 / 75°C must be used.

Use Class 1 wire only.

The units are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 50,000
rms symmetrical amperes, 600V maximum, when protected by T and J Class fuses.

Integral solid state short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit protec­tion. Branch circuit protection must be provided in accordance with the National
Electric Code and any additional local codes. Branch circuit protection provided by
fuses only.

Motor overload protection provided at 110% of full load current.

3.2.8 Cable and motor insulation checks

These checks can be performed as follows if motor or cable insulations are suspect­ed to be faulty.

1. Motor cable insulation checks

Disconnect the motor cable from terminals U / T1, V / T2 and W / T3 of the frequency
converter and from the motor. Measure the insulation resistance of the motor cable
between each phase conductor as well as between each phase conductor and the
protective ground conductor.

The insulation resistance must be >1 MOhm.

Tel. [phone] • Fax [phone]

installation vacon • 29

2. Mains cable insulation checks

Disconnect the mains cable from terminals L1, L2 / N and L3 of the frequency con­verter and from the mains. Measure the insulation resistance of the mains cable be­tween each phase conductor as well as between each phase conductor and the
protective ground conductor. The insulation resistance must be >1 MOhm.

3. Motor insulation checks

Disconnect the motor cable from the motor and open the bridging connections in the
motor connection box. Measure the insulation resistance of each motor winding. The
measurement voltage must equal at least the motor nominal voltage but not exceed
1000 V. The insulation resistance must be >1 MOhm.

SYS menu including fault submenu and system parameter submenu, and the display
and operation of the system parameter submenu is similar to PAR menu or MON
menu.In system parameter submenu, there are some editable parameter (P) and
some uneditable parameter (V).

The Fault submenu of SYS menu includes active fault submenu and fault history sub ­menu.

In active fault situation, FAULT arrow is blinking and the display is blinking active
fault menu item with fault code. If there are several active faults, you can check it by
entering the active fault submenu F5.x. F5.1 is always the latest active fault code. The
active faults can be reset by pressing BACK / RESET button with long time (>2 s),
when the API is in active fault submenu level (F5.x). If the fault cannot be reset, the
blinking continues. It is possible to select other display menus durin g active fault, but
in this case the display returns automatically to the fault menu if no button is pressed
in 10 seconds. The fault code, subcode and the operating day, hour and minute val­ues at the fault instant are shown in the value menu (operating hours = displayed
reading).

9. PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

On the next pages you can find the descriptions of certain parameters. The descrip­tions have been arranged according to parameter group and number.

9.1 Motor settings (Control panel: Menu PAR -> P1)

1.7 CURRENT LIMIT

This parameter determines the maximum motor current from the frequency
converter. To avoid motor overload, set this parameter according to the rated
current of the motor. The current limit is equal to (1.5*In) by default.

1.8 MOTOR CONTROL MODE

With this parameter the user can select the motor control mode. The selec­tions are:

0 = Frequency control:
Drive frequency reference is set to output frequency without s lip com-

pensation. Motor actual speed is finally defined by motor load.

1 = Open loop speed control:
Drive frequency reference is set to motor speed reference. The motor

speed remains the same regardless of motor load. Slip is compensat­ed.

1.9 U / F RATIO

There are three selections for this parameter:

0 = Linear:

The voltage of the motor changes linearly with the frequency in the
constant flux area from 0 Hz to the field weakening point where the
field weakening point voltage is supplied to the motor. Linear U / f ratio
should be used in constant torque applications. See Figure 9.1.

This default setting should be used if there is no special need for an­other setting.

parameter descriptions vacon • 65

1 = Square:

The voltage of the motor changes following a squared curve form with
the frequency in the area from 0 Hz to the field weakening point w here
the field weakening point voltage is also supplied to the motor. The
motor runs under magnetised below the field weakening point and
produces less torque, power losses and electromechanical noise.
Squared U / f ratio can be used in applications where torque demand
of the load is proportional to the square of the speed, e.g. in centrifugal
fans and pumps.

Figure 9.1: Linear and squared change of motor voltage

2 = Programmable U / f curve:

The U / f curve can be programmed with three different points. Pro­grammable U / f curve can be used if the other settings do not satisfy
the needs of the application.

1.10 FIELD WEAKENING POINT

The field weakening point is the output frequency at which the output voltage
reaches the value set with par. 1.11.

1.11 FIELD WEAKENING POINT VOLTAGE

Above the frequency at the field weakening point, the output voltage remains
at the value set with this parameter. Below the frequency at the field weaken­ing point, the output voltage depends on the setting of the U / f curve param­eters. See parameters 1.9-1.14 and Figures 9.1 and 9.2.

When the parameters 1.1 and 1.2 (nominal voltage and nominal frequency of
the motor) are set, the parameters 1.10 and 1.11 are automatically given the
corresponding values. If you need different values for the field weakening
point and the voltage, change these parameters after setting the parameters

1.1 and 1.2.

1.12 U / F MIDDLE POINT FREQUENCY

If the programmable U / f curve has been selected with the parameter 1.9, this
parameter defines the middle point frequency of the curve. See Figure 9.2.

1.13 U / F MIDDLE POINT VOLTAGE

If the programmable U / f curve has been selected with the parameter 1.9, this
parameter defines the middle point voltage of the curve. See Figure 9.2.

1.14 ZERO FREQUENCY VOLTAGE

This parameter defines the zero frequency voltage of the curve. See Figures

9.1 and 9.2.

1.15 TORQUE BOOST

When this parameter has been activated, the voltage to the motor changes au­tomatically with high load torque which makes the motor produce sufficient
torque to start and run at low frequencies. The voltage increase depends on
the motor type and power. Automatic torque boost can be used in applications
with high load torque, e.g. in conveyors.

0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled

Note: In high torque - low speed applications - it is likely that the motor will

overheat. If the motor has to run a prolonged time under these conditions,
special attention must be paid to cooling the motor. Use external cooling for
the motor if the temperature tends to rise too high.

Note: The best performance can be reached by running motor identification,
see par. 1.18.

1.16 SWITCHING FREQUENCY

Motor noise can be minimised using a high switching frequency. Increasing
the switching frequency reduces the capacity of the frequency converter unit.

Switching frequency for Vacon 10: 1.5…16 kHz.

1.17 BRAKE CHOPPER

Note! An internal brake chopper is installed in three phase supply MI2 and MI3
size drives.

0 = Disable (No brake chopper used)
1 = Enable: Always (Used in Run and Stop state)
2 = Enable: Run state (Brake chopper used in Run state)

When the frequency converter is decelerating the motor, the energy stored to the in­ertia of the motor and the load are fed into an external brake resistor, if the brake
chopper has been activated. This enables the frequency converter to decelerate the
load with a torque equal to that of acceleration (provided that the correct brake re­sistor has been selected). See separate Brake resistor installation manual.

1.19 MOTOR IDENTIFICATION

0 = Not active
1 = Standstill identification

When Standstill identification is selected, the drive will perform an ID-run
when it is started from selected control place. Drive has to be started within
20 seconds, otherwise identification is aborted.

24-hour support [phone] • Email: [e-mail]

9

68 • vacon parameter descriptions

The drive does not rotate the motor during Standstill identification. When ID
run is ready the drive is stopped. Drive will start normally, when the next start
command is given.

After end the identification, the drive need stop the start command. If control
place is Keypad, user need press stop button. If control place is IO,user need
put DI(Control signal) inactivate. If control place is fieldbus, user need set the
control bit to 0.

The ID run improves the torque calculations and the automatic torque boost
function. It will also result in a better slip compensation in speed control
(more accurate RPM).

The parameters below will change after ID run successfully,

a. P1.8 Motor control mode
b. P1.9 U / f ratio
c. P1.12 U / f mid point frequency
d. P1.13 U / f mid point voltage
e. P1.14 Zero freq voltage
f. P1.19 Motor identification (1->0)
g. P1.20 Rs voltage drop

Note! The nameplate data of the motor has to be set BEFORE doing ID run.

1.21 OVERVOLTAGE CONTROLLER

0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled, Standard mode (Minor adjustments of OP frequency are

made)
2 = Enabled, Shock load mode (Controller adjusts OP freq. up to

max.freq.)

1.22 UNDERVOLTAGE CONTROLLER

0 = Disable
1 = Enable

These parameters allow the under-/overvoltage controllers to be switched
out of operation. This may be useful, for example, if the mains supply voltage
varies more than –15% to +10% and the application will not tolerate this over­/undervoltage. In this case, the regulator controls the output frequency taking
the supply fluctuations into account.

When a value other than 0 is selected also the Closed Loop overvoltage
controller becomes active (in Multi-Purpose Control application).

Note! Over-/undervoltage trips may occur when controllers are switched out
of operation.

9.2 Start / stop setup (Control panel: Menu PAR -> P2)

2.1 REMOTE CONTROL PLACE SELECTION

With this parameter, the user can select the active control place.Frequency
reference can be selected by Parameter P3.3 The selections are:

0 = I / O terminal
1 = Fieldbus

The priority order of selecting the control place is:

1. Force to I/O when the digital input of P5.13 (Force to I/O) is active.

2. Loc/Rem button or P2.5 (Local/Remote) =1.

3. Determined by P2.1 (Remote Control Place Selection).

Note: You can select control place by pressing Loc / Rem button or with par.

2.5, P2.1 will have no effect in local mode.

Local = Keypad is the control place
Remote = I / O terminal or FieldBus

2.2 START FUNCTION

The user can select two start functions for Vacon 10 with this parameter:

0 = Ramp start

The frequency converter starts from 0 Hz and accelerates to the set
frequency reference within the set acceleration time (See detailed de­scription: ID103). (Load inertia, torque or starting friction may cause
prolonged acceleration times).

1 = Flying start

The frequency converter is able to start into a running motor by apply­ing small current pulses to motor and searching for the frequency cor­responding to the speed the motor is running at. Searching starts from
the maximum frequency towards the actual frequency until the cor­rect value is detected. Thereafter, the output frequency will be in­creased/decreased to the set reference value according to the set
acceleration/deceleration parameters.

Use this mode if the motor is coasting when the start command is giv­en. With the flying start it is possible to start the motor from actual
speed without forcing the speed to zero before ramping to reference.

2.3 STOP FUNCTION

Two stop functions can be selected in this application:

0 = Coasting

The motor coasts to a halt without control from the frequency convert­er after the Stop command.

drive with digital signal connected to digital inputs. CS = Control signal.

The selections including the text 'edge' shall be used to exclude the possibility
of an unintentional start when, for example, power is connected, re-connected
after a power failure, after a fault reset, after the drive is stopped by Run En­able (Run Enable = False) or when the control place is changed to I / O control.

4.1 RAMP S-SHAPE

The start and end of the acceleration and deceleration ramp can be smoothed
with this parameter. Setting value 0 gives a linear ramp shape which causes
acceleration and deceleration to act immediately to the changes in the refer­ence signal.

Setting value 0.1…10 seconds for this parameter produces an S-shaped accel­eration/deceleration. The acceleration and deceleration times are determined
with parameters 4.2 and 4.3.

4.7 FLUX BRAKING

Instead of DC braking, flux braking is a useful form of braking with motors of
max. 15 kW.

When braking is needed, the frequency is reduced and the flux in the motor is
increased, which in turn increases the motor's capability to brake. Unlike DC
braking, the motor speed remains controlled during braking.

0 = Off
1 = Deceleration
2 = Chopper
3 = Full Mode

Note: Flux braking converts the energy into heat at the motor, and should be

used intermittently to avoid motor damage.

4.10 STOP DC CURREN T TIME

Determines if braking is ON or OFF and the braking time of the DC-brake
when the motor is stopping. The function of the DC-brake depends on the stop
function, par. 2.3.

0 = DC brake is not active
>0 = DC brake is active and its function depends on the Stop function,

(par. 2.3). The DC braking time is determined with this parameter.

Par. 2.3 = 0 (Stop function = Coasting):

After the stop command, the motor coasts to a stop without control from the
frequency converter.

With the DC injection, the motor can be electrically stopped in the shortest
possible time, without using an optional external braking resistor.

The braking time is scaled by the frequency when the DC-braking starts. If the
frequency is greater, or equal to the nominal frequency of the motor, the set
value of parameter 4.10 determines the braking time.When the frequency is
10% of the nominal, the braking time is 10% of the set va lue of parameter 4.10.

The motor stall protection protects the motor from short time overload situa­tions such as one caused by a stalled shaft. The stall current is I
stall time 15 seconds and stall frequency limit 25 Hz . If the current is higher
than the limit and output frequency is lower than the limit, the stall state is
true and the drive reacts according to this parameter. There is actually no real
indication of the shaft rotation.

0 = No action
1 = Alarm
2 = Fault, coast

The purpose of the motor underload protection is to ensure that there is load
on the motor when the drive is running. If the motor loses its load there might
be a problem in the process, e.g. a broken belt or a dry pump.

The underload protection time limit is 20 seconds, which is the maximum time
allowed for an underload state to exist before causing a trip according to this
parameter.

13.7 MOTOR THERMAL PROTECTION

The motor thermal protection is to protect the motor from overheating. The drive is
capable of supplying higher than nominal current to the motor. If the load requires
this high current there is a risk that the motor will be thermally overloaded. This is
the case especially at low frequencies. At low frequencies the cooling effect of the
motor is reduced as well as its capacity. If the motor is equipped with an external fan
the load reduction at low speeds is small.
The motor thermal protection is based on a calculated model and it uses the output
current of the drive to determine the load on the motor.
The motor thermal protection can be adjusted with parameters. The thermal current
IT specifies the load current above which the motor is overloaded. This current limit
is a function of the output frequency.

9

0 = No action
1 = Alarm
2 = Fault, coast

If tripping is selected the drive will stop and activate the fa ult stage, if the tem­perature of the motor becomes too high. Deactivating the protection, i.e. set­ting parameter to 0, will reset the thermal model of the motor to 0%.

CAUTION! The calculated model does not protect the motor if
the airflow to the motor is reduced by blocked air intake grill.

NOTE! To comply with UL 508C requirements motor over-tempera­ture sensing is required at installation if the parameter is set to 0.

13.8 MTP:AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

When the motor ambient temperature must be taken into consideration, it is
recommended to set a value for this parameter. The value can be set between

-20 and 100 degrees Celsius.

13.9 MTP:ZERO SPEED COOLING

The cooling power can be set between 0 - 150.0% x cooling power at nominal
frequency. See Figure 9.14.

Figure 9.14: Motor cooling power

13.10 MTP:THERMAL TIME CONSTANT

This time can be set between 1 and 200 minutes.

This is the thermal time constant of the motor. The bigger the motor, the long­er the time constants. The time constant is the time within which the calculat­ed thermal model has reached 63% of its final value.

The motor thermal time is specific to the motor design and it varies between
different motor manufacturers.

If the motor's t6-time (t6 is the time in seconds the motor can safely operate
at six times the rated current) is known (given by the motor manufacturer) the
time constant parameter can be set basing on it. As a rule of thumb, the motor
thermal time constant in minutes equals to 2 x t6. If the drive is in stop state
the time constant is internally increased to three times the set parameter val­ue. See also Figure 9.15.

14.3 TRIAL TIME

The Automatic restart function restarts the frequency converter when the
faults have disappeared and the waiting time has elapsed.

The time count starts from the first autoreset. If the number of faults occur­ring during the trial time exceeds three, the fault state becomes active. Oth­erwise the fault is cleared after the trial time has elapsed and the next fault
starts the trial time count again. See Figure 9.16.

If a single fault remains during the trial time, a fault state is true.
