The VLT® Series 2000 Adjustable
Frequency Drive (AFD) contains
dangerous voltages when connected to
line voltage. Only a competent electrician
should carry out the electrical installation.
WARNING
Improper installation of the motor or the AFD may cause
equipment failure, serious injury or death. Follow this
manual and local and national safety codes.
Caution:
The motor may start without warning during operation
and programming of the parameters. Activate the STOP
key on the VLT keypad when changing data.
Danfoss VLT® and CE Marking
Danfoss CE marks our VL T® Adjustable Frequency
Drives (AFD) according to the Electro Magnetic
Compatibility (EMC) Directive 89/336/EEC and LowVoltage Directive 73/23/EEC.
It is possible for the VLT to start upon application of AC
power. DO NOT attempt any maintenance on the VLT,
motor or system machinery without verifying that the AC
power has been disconnected.
DO NOT touch any electrical parts after the AC line has
been disconnected for at least 14 minutes. This allows
for capacitor discharge.
NOTE: The STOP key on the VLT keypad DOES NOT
disconnect the AC line.
It is the responsibility of the user or the person installing
the AFD to provide proper grounding and branch circuit
protection for incoming power and motor overload
protection according to the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and local codes.
Upon request we will issue a declaration of conformity to
the EMC and low-voltage directives. A manufacturer's
declaration for the Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC is
also available.
When the installation specification is followed and
shielded motor cables are used per instruction manuals
provided with the drive, we guarantee the AFD complies
with the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC.
The VLT Series 2000 is cooled by natural or forced air
convection. Therefore air must be able to pass freely
under and over the unit
The VLT adjustable frequency drive must be mounted on
a flat vertical surface.
To enable the VLT to get rid of the cooling air, you must
allow free air space both above and below the adjustable
frequency drive.
The ambient temperature must not exceed 40°C so that
the VLT can dispose of its power loss.

Side by Side Mounting
The VLT Series 2000 adjustable frequency drive can be
installed side by side. There is no need for any space for
cooling along the side of the enclosure.
It is the responsibility of the user or the person installing
the drive to provide proper grounding and branch circuit
protection for incoming power and motor overload.
National Electrical Codes (NEC) and local codes must be
observed.
Prefuses
Prefuses must be installed in the AC line feeding the
adjustable frequency drive.
Wiring
Cables for the control signals and the brake cable must
be shielded in order to comply with EMC specifications.
The maximum cable length and the maximum cable
cross section is listed in the Specification Chart.
Signal Wiring
VLT ® Series 2000
The Electronic Thermal Relay (ETR) in UL listed VLT's
provides class 20 motor overload protection in
accordance with NEC in single motor applications, when
parameter 315 is set to
to nominal motor (nameplate) current.
The correct sizes and ratings can be found in the
Specification Chart.
Any motor cable shielding is connected to the ground
terminals in the adjustable frequency drive and the motor.
If non-shielded cables are used, the control inputs can
occasionally be subject to signal disturbances. Normally
such a disturbance will not affect the VLT.
If you know how to operate the VLT Series and and are
familiar with the menus and parameters, go directly to the
How to Program section of this manual.
How to Program
This setup is based on the assumption that you want
your VLT to operate with the following:
1. External start/stop
2. Potentiometer connected for external speed control
3. Option to change rotation direction
4. Option to select a fixed speed (Jog)
If you are not familiar with the VLT Series Adjustable
Frequency Drive refer first the Operation section of this
manual.
NOTE: If you use a brake module, you must program
parameter 300. If you want local operation via the display
keys you must program parameters 003 and 004. To
store the data press the "Menu" key.
If you have connected your VLT as shown in the Typical
Wiring Example, you must program the parameters as
listed in the chart below.

All Danfoss VLT Series 2000 AC drives utilize the same
control card throughout the entire HP range. The VL T control
panel consists of a keyboard and a display.
The keyboard is used for two purposes: local control and
programming. The display communicates VLT, motor and
application information to the operator.
Located on the control panel is a red and green status LED.
When the green status LED is illuminated, there is AC power
applied to the VL T . The red LED is used for alarm indications.
In an ALARM MODE, the LED will flash.
The display is a three-line LCD display. Line A is used for
operating displays. It shows the value corresponding to the
setting in DISPLAY MODE. The set value remains in the
display line during programming of parameters. Line B

It is important to specify the rated motor current because it
is used in part to calculate torque and thermal motor
protection, (ETR),
Description:
The rated motor current, which can be seen from the motor
nameplate, must be entered. This is also chosen in Quick
Set Up Menu step 2.
108 Motor Magnetizing Current (MOTOR MAG AMP)
Value:
0.3 - I
Function:
The VLT uses the value for different calculations such as
compensation.
Description:
If the factory setting is unsuitable, the motor current on
running idle should be measured with suitable
amperemeter (RMS). The magnetizing current is then set to
the measured value.
109 Start Voltage (START VOLT)
Value:
0 to (V
Function:
By increasing the start voltage, a high start torque can be
obtained. Small motors (<1 HP) normally require a high
start voltage. When motors are connected in parallel, it
may be desirable to increase the starting torque.
Description:
Do not forget to consider that the motor must be able to
start with the required torque:
1. Choose a value to make start possible with the load in
question.
2. Reduce value until starting up with the given
load is just possible.
3. Choose a value where operation in the rest of the
frequency range is possible at the lowest possible
current consumption.
If the start voltage makes normal operation impossible, you
can change the V/f ratio in parameter 111.

Function:
Using this parameter you acn make a load dependent
torque adaptation. This is for example used for motors and
applications where there is a large difference between the
motor's full-load current (parameter 107) and no-load
current (parameter 108).
Description:
If the factory setting is not sufficient, you can set the
parameter so that the motor can start at the actual load.
You can also combine start compensation with parameter

magnetization, optimal dynamics, accuracy or efficiency.
Description:
Use this parameter only if you cannot record the correct
motor data in parameters 104 and 105.
The value can be calculated as follows:
The value of the factory setting is based on no-load
operation. Therefore it is lower than the value calculated.

voltage of the VLT adjustable frequency drive with an
increasing load to compensate for the motor's increasing
slip (loss). This achieves a load-independent speed.
Description:
Choose a value so that the speed remains constant when
the load increases. If the value is too high the speed
increases with the load. This may lead to unstable motor
operation.
When you use synchronous motors and motors connected
in parallel, set slip compensation to 0 Hz. Slip
compensation should be avoided in case of high dynamics.
114 Feedback Signal (FEEDBACK T)
Value:
Voltage (VOLTAGE)[0]
★ Current (CURRENT)[1]
Pulses (PULSES)[2]
Function:
This parameter allows a choice of process feedback signal
in a closed loop system, as chosen in parameter 101. It has
no effect if parameter 101 is set to OPEN LOOP.
For further information, see the section on the PID
controller.
Description of choice:
If a PID controller is used, one of the inputs on terminal 29
(parameter 405), terminal 53 (parameter 412) or terminal
60 (parameter 413) must be used for the feedback signal.
The same type of signal cannot be the reference signal.
119 FF Factor (FEED FWD F)
Value:
0 to 500%★ 100%
Function:
This parameter is used in connection with a PI controller.
The FF factor makes a large or small part of the reference
signal around the PID controller so that the PI controller
only affects part of the control signal. Any change of the
setpoint will affect the motor rpm directly. The FF factor
gives high dynamics at changes of the setpoint and less
overswing.

Quick regulation is obtained at a high amplification, but if
the amplification is too high, the process may become
unstable due to overshoot.
122 Integral Time (INTEGRAL T)
Value:
Function:
The integral time determines how long the PI controller
takes to correct the fault. The integral time results in a delay
of the signal, and therefore has a dampening effect that will
improve stability.
Description of choice:
Quick regulation is obtained through a short integral time.
However, if this time is set too short, the process will
become unstable. If the integral time is set long, regulation
becomes unnecessarily slow.

160% (VLT 2030, 3Ø 208-240 V: 140%) of the rated output
current. If the current limit is to be used as motor protection,
the rated motor current must be programmed. Parameter
310 determines the length of time that the drive will run in
current limit before an overcurrent fault. The load range
between 100 and 160% can be programmed, but it is only
intended for intermittent operation therefore the unit can
only give an output of 160% (VLT 2030, 3Ø 208-240 V:
140%) for 60 seconds. The intermittent operating time will
be extended as the load drops below 110%, and becomes
unlimited at 100%.
If the switching frequency is higher than 4.5 kHz
this period will be shorter.

Description:
Setting parameter 517 to On stores the downloaded values.
Data values will be stored after you have pressed the
"Menu" key.
While the unit is storing data, the display will show (SAVE
DATA) and flash in line C.
★ = ROM default setting. Text in ( ) = display text. Figures in [ ] are used when communicating with the bus.
Using the serial RS 232 port (terminals 71 and 72) you can
read and set parameters of the VLT adjustable frequency
drive and issue reference and control commands. The
serial port can be used for point to point communication
between the VLT and a PC. Communication takes place by
means of a protocol specified by Danfoss, and using the
echo function (parameter 500) you can connect several VLT
adjustable frequency drives.
The data format consists of 10 bits:
One start bit (logical 0)
Eight data bits
One stop bit (logical 1)
Set the baud rate (rate of transmission) in parameter 501
and the address of each unit in parameter 500.
Protocol:
The communication protocol for the VLT Series 2000
consists of 22 ASCII characters make it possible to operate,
set and read parameters, and to receive status feedback
from the VLT adjustable frequency drive.
The communication takes place in the following way:
The master sends a telegram to a VLT adjustable frequency
drive. Then the master awaits a reply from the VLT before
sending a new message. The reply to the master resembles
the telegram sent by the master, but now contains any
updated data values and the status of the VLT.
Start byte, which in this case must be the character
"<" (ASCII: 60).
Byte 2 and 3:
The two-digit address of the adjustable frequency drive.
This address is also programmed in parameter 500.
Sending to address 00 means transmission to all units
connected to the bus. None of the units will reply, but they
will carry out the command.
Byte 4:
Control parameter telling the drive what to do with the
following data values.
U (update)
Means that the data value, bytes (14-18), must be read into
the drive.
R (read)
Means that the master wishes to read the data value of the
parameter in bytes 9 through 12.
C (control)
Means that the drive reads only the four command bytes, 5
through 8, and returns with status. Parameter number and
data value are ignored.
I (read index)
Means that the drive reads the index and parameter and
returns with status. The parameter is stated in bytes 9
through 12 and index is stated in bytes 13 through 18.
Parameters with indices are read-only parameters. Action
will be taken on the control word.
Byte 5 through 8:
Control and status words, used to send commands to the
frequency converter and to send status from the frequency
converter to the master.
Byte 9 through 12:
The parameter number is inserted in these bytes.
Byte 13:
Used for the sign before data value in bytes 14 through 18.
All characters other than “-” are taken as “+”.
Byte 14 through 18:
Here is placed the data value of the parameter stated in
bytes 9 through 12. The value must be a whole number. If a
decimal point is needed, it is stated in byte 19.
NOTE:
Some data values have brackets with a number, for
example “[0]”. Use this number instead of the “Text”
data value.
Byte 19:
The position of the decimal point in the data value stated in
bytes 14-18. The number states the number of characters
after the decimal point. Consequently, byte 19 can be 0, 1,
2, 3, 4 or 5. For example, the number 23.75 is stated:
Byte no.13 14 15 16 17 18 19
in ASCII character+23750 3
If byte 19 = 9, this indicates an unknown parameter.
Byte 20 and 21:
Used for summary control. If there is to be no control, the
function can be cancelled by means of the “?” character
(ASCII: 63) in the two bytes.
Stop byte, stating the end of the telegram. The character
“>” is used (ASCII: 62).

ProgrammingVLT® Series 2000
VLT Status
The four control and status bytes are used to send
control commands to the adjustable frequency drive
when the telegram is sent from the master and to send
status from the VLT to the master when the telegram is
returned from the VLT adjustable frequency drive. The
four bytes operate as status from the VLT with the
following functions:
The four control and status bytes are used to send control
commands to the VLT adjustable frequency drive when the
telegram is sent from the master, and to send status from
the VLT to the master when the telegram is returned from
the VLT. When these four bytes are used for control, they
have the following meaning:

OFF 1: Makes a normal ramp stop of the motor and
opens the relay output of the VLT (relay off).

Control card and power section are powered up and OK.
When the adjustable frequency drive's output
frequency is reduced more quickly than the motor
speed (due to inertia) can be changed, the motor
will act as a generator. It will send energy back to
the VLT and as a result the intermediate circuit
voltage will increase.

If the warning OVERVOLTAGE is displayed when
the speed is reduced, you can increase the rampdown time. If that is not possible, it may be
necessary to activate the dynamic brake function
with brake resistor. If the warning occurs in other
situations, the problem is due to the AC line.
The following alarm messages are displayed after the

The following instructions will enable quick and easy setup of the PI regulation and associated parameter
settings. Detailed information about each parameter can
be found in the parameter section of this manual.
Parameter 100:
Set the load type. There are several choices in each
group but variable torque medium or variable torque
medium with AEO will suit most pumps or fans.
Parameter 101:
Select closed loop operation.
Parameter 114:
Choose the type of feedback signal the transmitter is
using. The default value is current as it is the most
widely used signal type.
Parameter 115 & 116:
Are used to scale a display read-out which is proportional
to the feedback transmitter signal. The value is displayed
only if feedback has been selected in display mode. To
get to display mode from any other mode press MENU &
DATA keys simultaneously.
If a transmitter has a range of 0-5 bar, 0 can be set in
parameter 115 and 5 in parameter 116. In parameter 117
the unit bar can be programmed.
The default values are 0 & 100, to display 0-100%.
Parameter 117:
Choose the unit of measurement for scaling the
feedback signal of the transmitter set in parameter 115 &
116. The default value is %.
Parameter 119:
The feed forward factor allows a part of the set-point
signal to by-pass the PID regulator. This gives faster
response when starting up a system where the
integration time (parameter 122) is very long, and the
system error is small.
Set at 0%. Only add 5% at a time, and only if the system
takes a long time to start up. The drawing shows the
influence of the feed forward.
Parameter 120:
Controls the bandwidth of the output from PID controller.
Set at 100%.
Parameter 121:
Controls the gain of the system. For most fan and pump
systems it should not be higher than 0.9. If set to higher
values the system may become unstable.
• Centrifugal fans - between 0.1 - 0.6
• Centrifugal pumps - between 0.3 - 0.8
Parameter 122:
Improves the final accuracy by integrating out the error.
• Centrifugal fans - between 10-12 seconds
• Centrifugal pumps - between 3-8 seconds
Parameter 123:
Differential time is not used in pump and fan systems.
Set to Off.
Parameter 124:
If the feedback signal is fluctuating it can be dampened
with a time constant. This can occur on pump systems
where the pipe can be shut off quickly and cause a
standing wave of water.
Set initially to 0 seconds.
Parameter 125:
Leave at the default value of 100% unless the
following conditions occur.
• If the feedback signal does not match the standard
analog signal choices in parameter 412 & 413 a value
must be programmed which scales the feedback signal
to a standard analog value.
• When using min. speed, parameter 201, it must be
ensured that the min. speed % value is not greater than
the set-point % value, otherwise the min. speed will
over-ride the set-point.
1. Selecting a new set-point. Choose a value that will
raise the set-point about 10% higher than the min.
speed.
New set-point = % min. speed x 1.1 = 55%
2. Setting parameter 125. Apply the same increase to
this parameter. 100 x 1.1 = 110%
Parameter 201:
Set min. frequency if required.
If you enter a min. speed you must observe the following:
• When min. speed is used parameter 411 must be set
to "proportional with min. limit".
• If the min. frequency % is higher than the set-point %
you must re-scale parameter 125 and the set-point.
Parameter 202:
Max. frequency is normally set to 50 Hz. Running
centrifugal pumps and fans above this speed will cause
overload of the pump or fan, as the power increases to
the third power of the speed change.
Example:
If the speed increased to 60 Hz the power will increase
by a massive 173%.
Set at 50 Hz.
Parameter 205:
The internal set-point for the regulator.
Enter the set-point % value.
Example:
A pressure transmitter has range of 0-10 bar. A set-point
of 4 bar is required.
Set-point = 4/10 x 100 = 40%
Enter 40 in parameter 205.
Parameter 214:
Use only linear ramps.
Parameter 215 & 216:
The ramps only function on starting and stopping the
system.
Enter the ramp up and down times in seconds.
Parameter 315:
Set the motor thermal protection to trip 1 if thermal
protection of the motor is required.
Parameter 411:
This parameter must be changed from its default value
when PID regulation is used.
Set to "proportional with min. limit".
Parameter 412-413:
Set the type of analog input signal for the set-point
and feedback signals. Parameter 114 has previously set
up the selection of the feedback signal type.
If parameter 205 (internal set-point) is used either current
or voltage can be used as the feedback signal.
If one of the inputs is not used it must be set to no
operation.
Externally it can be one of the choices of the analog
values. Use of one of the analog choices will prevent its
use as the feedback signal.
The use of the internal set-point reduces installation
costs. Up to 4 internal set-points (by using parameters
205-208) can be selected by a combination of 2 switches.
Refer to the instruction manual for further information.
The set-point can be found by calculating the percentage
of required signal from the transmitter range.
The control is called normal, if the motor speed is
increased when the feedback signal goes down, and the
motor speed is reduced if the feedback signal goes up.
Typical for pump pressure systems and air handling units
in variable air volume systems.
The control is called inverse if the motor speed is
increased when the feedback signal is increased. Typical
for pit pumping where: the faster the water flows into the
pit, the faster the pump must pump out the water.
43
Appendix; PI Regulation
For inverse control; modification of the setpoint and
feedback signal is required.
Example:
A transmitter has a 0-15 foot span equal to 0-20mA. The
PID set-point must be set at 12 feet for inverse control.
• Enter 20-0 mA in parameter 413. The normal signal in
figure A is converted to an inverse signal as shown in
figure B.

• Calculate the set point for inverse control.
Setpoint = 100 – (4/5 x 100) = 20%
It can be seen in figure C how the set point is calculated.
It is often necessary to run the machine manually for
maintenance reasons.
Manual control can be carried out manually from the
keypad of all the units.
If remote control of the manual over-ride is required
additional circuitry is necessary.
For the VLT Series 3500 special parameters are available
for external manual over-ride. Refer to the VLT Series
3500 instruction manual.
The following circuit and instructions for external manual
over-ride relates to the VLT Series 3000. The proposed
control scheme is based on using 2 of the 4 menu setups. Menu set-up 1 has the parameters set for PI
operation and Menu set-up 2 has the parameters set for
manual control.
1. Set parameter 001 to multi set-up.
2. Set parameter 400 to select set-up.
3. Install an "Auto-Manual" switch across terminals 12 &
16. This will allow selection between the 2 menu setups. The bottom right hand corner of the display will
show the menu set-up you are in.
• Parameter 315; Set the motor thermal overload
protection to trip 2.
• Parameter 412; Set to 0-10 V.
• Parameter 413; Set to no operation.
