2.2 Danger and Warnings
DANGER
SHOCK HAZARD FROM POWER UNIT COMPONENTS
The power unit components are live when the drive is connected to mains. A contact with this voltage can lead to death or
serious injury.
Do not touch the components of the power unit when the drive is connected to mains. Before connecting the drive to
-
mains, make sure that the covers of the drive are closed.
DANGER
SHOCK HAZARD FROM TERMINALS
The motor terminals U, V, W, the brake resistor terminals, or the DC terminals are live when the drive is connected to mains, also
when the motor does not operate. A contact with this voltage can lead to death or serious injury.
Do not touch the motor terminals U, V, W, the brake resistor terminals, or the DC terminals when the drive is connected to
-
mains. Before connecting the drive to mains, make sure that the covers of the drive are closed.
The terminal connections and the components of the drive can be live 5 minutes after the drive is disconnected from the mains
and the motor has stopped. Also the load side of the drive can generate voltage. A contact with this voltage can lead to death
or serious injury.
Before doing electrical work on the drive:
-
•
Disconnect the drive from the mains and make sure that the motor has stopped.
•Lock out and tag out the power source to the drive.
•Make sure that no external source generates unintended voltage during work.
•Wait 5 minutes before opening the cabinet door or the cover of the AC drive.
•Use a measuring device to make sure that there is no voltage.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD FROM CONTROL TERMINALS
The control terminals can have a dangerous voltage also when the drive is disconnected from mains. A contact with this
voltage can lead to injury.
Make sure that there is no voltage in the control terminals before touching the control terminals.
-
Safety
WARNING
ACCIDENTAL MOTOR START
When there is a power-up, a power break, or a fault reset, the motor starts immediately if the start signal is active, unless the
pulse control for Start/Stop logic is selected. If the parameters, the applications or the software change, the I/O functions
(including the start inputs) can change. If you activate the auto reset function, the motor starts automatically after an automatic
fault reset. See the Application Guide. Failure to ensure that the motor, system, and any attached equipment are ready for start
can result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Disconnect the motor from the drive if an accidental start can be dangerous. Make sure that the equipment is safe to
-
operate under any condition.
WARNING
LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD
Leakage currents exceed 3.5 mA. Failure to ground the drive properly can result in death or serious injury.
Ensure the correct grounding of the equipment by a certified electrical installer.
-
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD FROM PE CONDUCTOR
The drive can cause a DC current in the PE conductor. Failure to use a residual current-operated protective (RCD) device Type B
or a residual current-operated monitoring (RCM) device can lead to the RCD not providing the intended protection and
therefore can result in death or serious injury.
Use a type B RCD or RCM device on the mains side of the drive.
The drive is an electronic motor controller intended for:
•Regulation of motor speed in response to system feedback or to remote commands from external controllers. A power drive
system consists of the AC drive, the motor, and equipment driven by the motor.
•System and motor status surveillance.
The drive can also be used for motor overload protection.
Depending on the configuration, the drive can be used in standalone applications or form part of a larger appliance or installation.
The drive is allowed for use in residential, industrial, and commercial environments in accordance with local laws and standards.
NOTICE
In a residential environment, this product can cause radio interference, in which case supplementary mitigation measures can
be required.
Foreseeable misuse
Do not use the drive in applications which are non-compliant with specified operating conditions and environments. Ensure
compliance with the conditions specified in 12.8 VACON NXP Technical Data.

A brake resistor is available as an option for external installation for 208–240 V (FR7-FR11), 380–500 V (FR7-FR11), and 525–690 V (all enclosure sizes).
The codes for nominal current and nominal mains voltage are part of the type code (see 3.4 Description of the Type Code) on the
package label (see 3.3 Package Label). Use these values to find out the enclosure size of the AC drive from the table.
In the example "NXP00035-A2H1SSS-A1A2C30000+DNOT", the code for nominal current is 0003 and the code for nominal mains
voltage is 5.
The product standard (EMC immunity requirements) IEC/EN 61800-3 + A1 has 5 categories. The VACON® AC drives are divided into 5
EMC classes that have equivalents in the standard. All VACON® NX AC drives comply with the standard IEC/EN 61800-3 + A1.
The type code tells which category requirement the AC drive complies with (see
The category changes when these properties in the AC drive change:
•the level of electromagnetic disturbances

3.8.1 Introduction to Control Panel
The control panel is the interface between the AC drive and the user. Use the control panel to control the speed of a motor and
monitor the status of the AC drive. Use it also to set the parameters of the AC drive.
The control panel can be removed from the AC drive. The control panel is isolated from the input line potential.
3.8.2 Keypad
The VACON® keypad has 9 buttons with which you can control the AC drive (and motor), set parameters, and monitor values.
A The motor is in RUN state. The indication starts to blink when
a stop command is given and blinks while the speed
continues to decrease.
C The motor rotation direction is reverse.
E The AC power is on.
G A fault is given and the AC drive is stopped.
I The control panel is the active control mode.
K The location indication. The line shows the symbol and
number of the menu, parameter and so on. For example,
M2 = Menu 2 (Parameters) or P2.1.3 = Acceleration time.
M The value line. The line shows the numerical and text values
of references, parameters and so on. It also shows the
number of submenus that are available in each menu.
Illustration 4: Display Indications
The drive status indicators (A-G) give information about the status of the motor and the AC drive.
The control mode indications (H, I, J) show the selection of the control mode. The control mode tells from where the START/STOP
commands are given and reference values are changed. To make this selection, go to the Keypad control menu (M3) (see 8.4.3
Changing the Control Mode).
B The motor rotation direction is forward.
D The drive does not operate.
F An alarm is given.
H The I/O terminals is the active control mode.
J The fieldbus is the active control mode.
L The description line. The line shows the description of the
menu, value, or fault.
The three text lines (K, L, M) give information about the current location in the menu structure and the operation of the drive.
3.8.4 Basic Menu Structure
The data of the AC drive is in menus and submenus. The figure shows the basic menu structure of the AC drive.
This menu structure is only an example and the contents and items can vary depending on the application in use.
1. After removing the packaging, examine the drive for transport damages.
If the drive was damaged during the shipping, speak to the cargo insurance company or the carrier.

4.2 Storing the Product
Context:
If the product has to be stored before installing it, follow these instructions.
Procedure
1. If the AC drive must be stored before using it, make sure that the ambient conditions agree to the following:
•Storage temperature: –40…+70° C (-40...+158° F)
•Relative humidity: 0–95%, no condensation
2. If the AC drive must be kept in storage for a long time, connect the power to the AC drive each year. Keep the power on for a
minimum of 2 hours.
3. If the storage time is more than 12 months, charge the electrolytic DC capacitors with caution. To reform the capacitors, obey the
instructions in 10.2 Reforming the Capacitors.
We do not recommend a long storage time.
4.3 Lifting the Product
Context:
Speak to the factory or the local distributor to get information on how to lift the AC drive safely.
Prerequisites:
The weights of AC drives of different enclosure sizes are very different. It can be necessary to use a lifting device to move the drive from
its package.
Procedure
1. Check the weight of the AC drive, see
2. To lift the AC drives larger than FR7 out of the package, use a jib crane.
3. After lifting the drive, check for signs of damage on the drive.
12.1 Weights of the AC Drive.
4.4 Using the Product Modified Label
Context:
In the accessories bag, there is also a "product modified" label. The function of the label is to tell the service personnel about the
changes that are made in the AC drive.
