1.3Danger
The components of the power unit of VACON® 20 X drives are live when the drive
is connected to the mains potential. Coming into contact with this voltage is
extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury.
®
The motor terminals (U, V, W) are live when VACON
the mains, even if the motor is not running.
After disconnecting the AC drive from the mains, wait until the indicators on the
keypad go out (if no keypad is attached, see the indicators on the cover). Wait an
additional 30 seconds before starting any work on the connections of VACON
X Drive. After expiration of this time, use measuring equipment to absolutely
ensure that no
voltage is present.
Always ensure absence of voltage before start-
ing any electrical work!
The control I/O-terminals are isolated from the mains potential. However, the
relay outputs and other I/O-terminals may have a dangerous control voltage
present even when VACON
®
20 X Drive is disconnected from the mains.
During a coast stop (see the Application Manual), the motor is still generating
voltage to the drive. Therefore, do not touch the components of the AC drive
before the motor has completely stopped. Wait until the indicators on the keypad
go out (if no keypad is attached, see the indicators on the cover). Wait an additional 30 seconds before starting any work on the drive.

Use cable clamps supplied by the manufacturer for mains, motor, I/O, relay and
sensor cables. See Chapter 4.8.
Use cable ties as close as possible to relay and sensor terminals to keep the
wires together.
1.4Warnings
VACON® 20 X AC drive is meant for fixed installations only.
Only DVC A circuits (Decisive Voltage Class A, according to IEC 61800-5-1) are allowed
to be connected to the control unit. This advice aims to protect both the drive and the cli-
ent-application. The manufacturer is not responsible for direct or consequential damages
resulting from unsafe connections of external circuits to the drive. See paragraph 1.6 for
more details.
Do not perform any measurements when the AC drive is connected to the mains.
The touch current of VACON
EN61800-5-1, a reinforced protective ground connection must be ensured. See paragraph 1.5.
®
20 X drives exceeds 3.5mA AC. According to standard
If the AC drive is used as a part of a machine, the machine manufacturer is responsible
for providing the machine with a supply disconnecting device (EN 60204-1). See paragraph 4.1
Only spare parts supplied by the manufacturer can be used.

vacon • 8Safety
At power-up, power brake or fault reset, the motor will start immediately if the start signal is active, unless the pulse control for
Start/Stop logic has been selected
.
Furthermore, the I/O functionalities (including start inputs) may change if parameters,
applications or software are changed. Disconnect, therefore, the motor if an unexpected
start can cause danger. This is valid only if STO inputs are energized. For prevention on
unexpected restart, use appropriate safety relay connected to the STO inputs.
The motor starts automatically after automatic fault reset if the autoreset function is
activated. See the Application Manual for more detailed information.
This is valid only if STO inputs are energized. For prevention on unexpected restart, use
appropriate safety relay connected to the STO inputs.
Before performing any measurement on the motor or the motor cable, disconnect the
motor cable from the AC drive.
Do not perform any voltage withstand test on any part of VACON
®
20 X. The tests shall be
performed according to a specific procedure. Ignoring this procedure may damage the
product.
Do not touch the components on the circuit boards. Static voltage discharge may damage
the components.
Check that the EMC level of the AC drive corresponds to the requirements of your supply
network.
In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case supplementary mitigation measures may be required.
Optional keypad is IP66/Type 4X outdoor rated. Strong exposure to direct sunlight or to
heavy temperatures might cause the degradation of display LCD.
Do not use the internal Brake Resistor in installation above 2000 m altitude.
Do not remove the EMC screws in the solar pump application. IT (impedance-grounded)
AC supply network is not allowed in the solar pump application.

1.5Grounding and earth fault protection
CAUTION!
The VACON® 20 X AC drive must always be grounded with a grounding conductor connected to the
grounding terminal marked with .
Since the touch current exceeds 3.5 mA AC (for the three-phase version), according to EN61800-51, the drive must have a fixed connection and provision of an additional terminal for a second protective grounding conductor of the same cross-sectional area as the original protective grounding
conductor.
Three screws (for the three-phase version) are provided for: the ORIGINAL protective grounding
conductor, the SECOND protective conductor and the MOTOR protective conductor (the customer
can choose the screw for each one). See Figure 1 for the location of the three screws in the two possible options available.
Figure 1. Protective grounding connections MU2 and MU3, three-phase version.
Local contacts: https://www.danfoss.com/en/contact-us/contacts-list/
In VACON® 20 X, the phase conductor and the corresponding protective grounding conductor can
be of the same cross-sectional area, provided they are made of the same metal (because the cross-
2
sectional area of the phase conductor is less than 16 mm
).
The cross-sectional area of every protective grounding conductor which does not form a part of the
supply cable or cable enclosure must not, in any case, be less than:
•2.5 mm
•4 mm
2
if mechanical protection is provided or
2
if mechanical protection is not provided. For cord-connected equipment, provisions
shall be made so that the protective groundingconductor in the cord must, in the case of
failure of the strain-relief mechanism, be the last conductor to be interrupted.
However, always follow the local regulations for the minimum size of the protective grounding
conductor.
NOTE: Due to the high capacitive currents present in the AC drive, fault current protective switches
may not function properly.

3.2Cooling
The AC drive produces heat in operation and is cooled down by air circulated by a fan. Enough free
space must be left around the AC drive to ensure sufficient air circulation and cooling. Different acts
of maintenance may also require certain amount of free space.
The minimum clearances given in Table 7 should be respected. It is also important to ensure that
the temperature of the cooling air does not exceed the maximum environment temperature of the
AC drive.
Contact our factory for more information on required clearances in different installations.

4.1Circuit breaker
Disconnect the drive via an external circuit breaker. You have to provide a switching device between
the supply and main connection terminals.
When connecting the input terminals to the power supply using a circuit breaker, observe that this
is of type B or type C and ensure it has a capacity of 1.5 to 2 times of the inverter’s rated current
(see Table 27 and Table 29).
NOTE: circuit breaker is not allowed in installations where C-UL is required. Only fuses are recommended.
4.2UL standards on cabling
To meet the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) regulations, use a UL-approved copper cable with a
minimum heat-resistance of +70/75°C. Use Class 1 wire only.
The units are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering no more than 50,000 rms symmetrical amperes, 500V AC maximum, when protected by T or 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 Electrical Code and any additional local codes.

4.4Cable dimensioning and selection
Table 13 shows the minimum dimensions of the Cu cables and the corresponding fuse sizes.
These instructions apply only to cases with one motor and one cable connection from the AC drive
to the motor. In any other case, ask the factory for more information.
4.4.1Cable and fuse sizes, enclosures MU2 and MU3
The recommended fuse types are gG/gL (IEC 60269-1). The fuse voltage rating should be selected
according to the supply network. The final selection should be made according to local regulations,
cable installation conditions and cable specifications. Bigger fuses than those recommended below
must not be used.
Check that the fuse operating time is less than 0.4 seconds. Operating time depends on used fuse
type and impedance of the supply circuit. Consult the factory about faster fuses. The manufacturer
also recommends for high speed gS (IEC 60269-4) fuse ranges.

4.4.3Recommended fuse sizes for group installation
A group installation is a configuration in which one fuse is intended to provide protection for more
than one drive. In this case, the fuse acts as BCP (Branch Circuit Protection) device for multiple
drives. VACON
®
20 X is suitable for motor group installation on a circuit capable of delivering not
more than 50,000 rms symmetrical amperes, 500 V max, when protected by Class J or T fuses.
VACON
®
20 X is approved for group installation by UL provided the fuse in the main branch circuit
is a 60 A class T or J fuse (300V or 600V AC maximum according to the drive rating).
It is possible to choose any combination of AC drives, but you have to pay attention that the total cur-
rent does not open the fuses in normal operation.
Example:
Eight MU2 type 0003 4 with input current 3.2 A (3.2*8=25.6 A) and one MU3 type 0016 4 with input
current 20 A have total input current: 25.6+20=45.6 A.
4.5Brake resistor cables
VACON® 20 X AC drives (three-phase version) are equipped with terminals for an optional external
brake resistor.
For MU2, brake resistor wires with faston 6.3 mm have to be used.
NOTE! To get acces to terminals, touch protection cover needs to be removed
For MU3, a PCB terminal block with push-in spring-cage connector is provided. Stranded wires
(max. 4 mm
2
) with ferrules should be used.
See Table 30 and Table 31 for the resistor ratings.
See Figure 29 and Figure 31 for connector location.
4.6Control cables
For information on control cables see chapter Control unit cabling.
4.7Cable installation
•Before starting, check that none of the components of the AC drive is live. Read the warnings

5.3.7Selection of terminal functions with dip switches
The VACON
®
20 X drive embodies four so-called switches that allow for two functional selections
each. The shadowed terminals in Table 21 can be functionally modified with the dip switches.
The switches have two positions: 0 and 1. See Figure 36 to locate the switches and make appropri-
ate selections for your requirements.
Figure 36. Dip switches on the control unit.
5.3.7.1
Switch SW1
The digital inputs (terminals 8-10 and 14-16) on the standard I/O board can be isolated from ground
by setting the dip switch SW1 to position ‘1’. See Figure 36. Locate the switch and set it in the desired
position. The switch in the position “0” means that the common of digital input have been connected
to the ground.The default position is “0”.
5.3.7.2Switches SW2 and SW3
Analogue inputs can be used as either current inputs or voltage inputs. The signal type is selected
with two switches on the control board.
The switch SW2 is related to analogue input AI1. In position “1” the analogue input AI1 works in voltage mode. In position “0” the analogue input works in current mode. The default position for SW2
is “1”.
The voltage range is 0...10V and the current is 0/4.....20 mA.
The switch SW3 is related to analogue input AI2. In the position “1” the analogue input AI2 works in
voltage mode. In the position “0” the analogue input works in current mode. The default position for
SW3 is “0”.
The voltage range is 0...10V and the current is 0/4.....20 mA.
5.3.7.3Switch SW4
The switch SW4 is related to the RS485 connection. It is used for bus termination. The bus termination must be set to the first and to the last device on the network. The switch SW4 in position “0”
means that termination resistance is connected and the termination of the bus has been set. If the
VACON
®
20 X is the last device on the net, this switch must be set to “0” position. The default posi-
tion for SW4 is “0”.

5.4Fieldbus connection
Modbus is a communication protocol developed by Modicon systems. In other words, it is a way of
sending information between electronic devices. The device requesting the information is called the
Modbus Master and the devices supplying information are Modbus Slaves. In a standard Modbus
network, there is one Master and up to 247 Slaves, each with a unique Slave Address from 1 to 247.
The Master can also write information to the Slaves. Modbus is typically used to transmit signals
from instrumentation and control devices back to a main controller or data gathering system.
The Modbus communication interface is built around messages. The format of these Modbus messages is independent of the type of physical interface used. The same protocol can be used regardless of the connection type. Thanks to this, Modbus allows for the easy upgrade of the hardware
structure of an industrial network, without the need for significant changes in the software. A device
can also communicate with several Modbus nodes at once, although they are connected with different interface types, without the need to use a different protocol for every connection.
Figure 37.Basic structure of Modbus frame.
On simple interfaces such as RS485, the Modbus messages are sent in plain form over the network.
In this case the network is dedicated to Modbus.
Each Modbus message has the same structure. Four basic elements are present in each message.
The sequence of these elements is the same for all messages, to make it easy to parse the content
of the Modbus message. A conversation is always started by a master in the Modbus network. A
Modbus master sends a message and—depending on the contents of the message— a slave takes
action and responds to it. There can be more masters in a Modbus network. The address in the message header is used to define which device should respond to a message. All other nodes on the
Modbus network ignore the message if the address field does not match their own address.

Also strip the cable now at such a distance from the terminal that you can fix it to
the enclosure with the grounding clamp. Strip the cable at a maximum length of
15 mm. Do not strip the aluminium cable shield!
Then connect the cable to its appropriate terminals on VACON® 20 X AC drive
standard terminal block, terminals A and B (A = negative, B = positive).
Using the cable clamp included in the supply of the drive, ground the shield of
the RS485 cable to the enclosure of the AC drive.
If VACON® 20 X drive is the last device on the bus,
the bus termination must be set. Locate the switches
to the right of the control terminals (see Figure 36)
and turn the SW4 switch to position “0”. Biasing is
built in the termination resistor.

6.2Changing EMC protection class
If your supply network is an IT (impedance-grounded) system but your AC drive is EMC-protected
according to class C1 or C2 you need to modify the EMC protection of the AC drive to EMC-level T
(C4). This is done as described below:
Warning! Do not perform any modifications on the AC drive when it is connected
to mains.
Do not remove the EMC screws in the solar pump application. IT (impedancegrounded) AC supply network is not allowed in the solar pump application.

6.3Running the motor
MOTOR RUN CHECK LIST
Before starting the motor, check that the motor is mounted properly and ensure
that the machine connected to the motor allows the motor to be started.
Set the maximum motor speed (frequency) according to the motor and the
machine connected to it.
Before reversing the motor make sure that this can be done safely.
Make sure that no power correction capacitors are connected to the motor cable.
Make sure that the motor terminals are not connected to mains potential.
6.3.1Cable and motor insulation checks
1.Motor cable insulation checks
Disconnect the motor cable from terminals U, V and W of the AC drive 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 >1M at ambient temperature of 20°C.
2.Mains cable insulation checks
Disconnect the mains cable from terminals L1, L2 and L3 of the AC drive 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 >1Mat ambient temperature of 20°C
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 >1M at ambient temperature of 20°C.

6.4Maintenance
In normal conditions, the AC drive is maintenance-free. However, regular maintenance is recommended to ensure trouble-free operation and longevity of the drive. We recommend the table below
is followed for maintenance intervals.
Table 26.
Maintenance intervalMaintenance action
Regularly and according to
general maintenance interval
•Check tightening torques of terminals.
•Check input and output terminals and
control I/O terminals.
6...24 months (depending on
environment)
•Check for corrosion on terminals and
other surfaces.
•Check the heatsink for dust and clean
if necessary.
6...10 years•Change the main fan.
•Charge capacitors, only after long
12...24 months
storage times or long down times
without supply: contact your nearest
Danfoss service center.
6.4.1Recharging capacitors in stored units
When complete AC Drive units are stored without any voltage being applied to them, the recharging
of the capacitors should be done at least every 12 months, by connecting the power supply to the
unit and then keeping the unit powered up for a minimum of one hour.
If the storing time is much longer than one year, the recharging of the capacitors has to be done in
a way that possible high leakage current through the capacitors is limited. The best alternative is
to use a DC-power supply with an adjustable current limit. The current limit has to be set, for example, to 50...200mA and the DC-power supply has to be connected to the DC+/DC- terminals of the
DC link.
Power up instruction for MU02 (three-phase) unit without DC+/DC- terminals:
•The DC supply is connected between the two input phases L1 and L2.
•The DC voltage has to be adjusted up to the nominal DC voltage level of the unit (1.35xUn AC)
and has to be supplied for at least one hour.
If a DC voltage is not available and the unit has been stored much longer than one year de-energized, consult the manufacturer before connecting the power.

8.6Signal Loop Option Board
The signal loop option board enables easy looping/ daisy chain of 24V and STO signals (to another

terminals and typical connections. The location of the board and terminals are presented in
Figure 61.
NOTE! The Signal Loop Option Board is available only as a build-in option with plus code +TQGL. The
drive must be ordered from factory using this plus code.
When delivered from factory, the signal loop option board is already connected to the control IOs
and Safe Tourqe Off (STO) inputs of the drive. The wiring is made in such a way that the STO inputs
are connected in parallel and the STO feedback is not used. According to Table 45 the only safety
capability that the customer can reach by using the signal loop option board is Cat.1, PL c, SIL 1.
The signal loop option board can be used to power the control side externally (+24VDC ±10%,
1000mA), by connecting the external power source as described in Figure 62.

20 X drive) and easy connection of 4 digital inputs. The Figure 62 describes the signal loop
Page 92
vacon • 92Options
In the configuration of a signal loop option board and an ASi bus option board, the signal loop option
board is connected to the ASi bus. This enables an external power up the control side with the ASi
bus power. In that case, there is no need to supply the signal loop option board externally, becasue
the signal loop option board is converting the 30V from ASi bus to 24V, to supply the control side.
NOTE! It is not possible to use the Signal Loop Option Board (+TQGL) with the Mains Switch Option
(+QDSS) or Simple Operator Panel (+QDSH).
