■VLT 6000 Advantages in a HVAC installation

One advantage involved in using a VLT 6000 HVAC is
that this unit has been designed to regulate the speed
of fans and rotary pumps while consuming the smallest
possible amount of energy. Consequently, if a VLT 6000
HVAC is used in a HVAC installation, optimum energy
savings are guaranteed, since less energy is used with
a frequency converter than with the traditional HVAC
regulation principles. Another advantage in using the
VLT 6000 HVAC is that regulation is improved and can
easily adapt to a new flow or pressure requirement
in an installation. The use of a VLT 6000 HVAC
offers the following additional advantages:

• VLT 6000 HVAC has been designed for

HVAC applications.

• A wide power range - from 1.1-500 kW

units with a unique design.

• IP 20 and IP 54 enclosures that can be mounted

side by side. For power sizes ≥ 90kW ( ≥ 30kW
for 200 V) IP 00 is also available.

• All unit types, except 525-600 V units, are available

with an integral RFI filter, complying with EN 55011
class A1 in the case of a 150 m screened/armoured
motor cable and EN 55011 class B in the case of a
screened/armoured motor cable up to 50 m long.

• User-friendly design, which makes VLT 6000 HVAC

easy to install, both mechanically and electrically.

• Detachable LCP control panel with Hand-Off-Auto

buttons and a graphics display of local speed.

• High starting torque owing to Automatic

Energy Optimization (AEO).

• Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA) ensures

optimum motor utilisation.

• Integral PID regulator with option of connecting

two feedback signals (in connection with zoning),
as well as setting of two set-points.

• Sleep mode, which automatically turns the

motor off, e.g. when there is no need for more
pressure or flow in a system.

• The "flying start" function enables the unit

to catch a rotating fan.

VLT®6000 HVAC Series

• Automatic ramp up/down to ensure that

the VLT 6000 HVAC will not trip during
acceleration or deceleration.

• All standard units have three integral, serial protocols

- RS 485 FC protocol, Johnson’s Metasys N2
and Landis/Staefa Apogee FLN. Communication
option cards that can be connected are LonWorks,
DeviceNet, Modbus RTU and Profibus.

■Control principle

A frequency converter rectifies AC voltage from
mains into DC voltage, after which this DC
voltage is converted into a AC current with a
variable amplitude and frequency.

■AEO - Automatic Energy Optimization

Normally, the U/f characteristics have to be set on the
basis of the expected load at different frequencies.
However, knowing the load at a given frequency in an
installation is often a problem. This problem can be
solved by using a VLT 6000 HVAC with its integral
Automatic Energy Optimization (AEO), which ensures
optimum energy utilization. All VLT 6000 HVAC units
feature this function as a factory setting, i.e. it is
not necessary to adjust the frequency converter U/f
ratio in order to obtain maximum energy savings.
In other frequency converters, the given load and
voltage/frequency ratio (U/f) must be assessed to carry
out correct setting of the frequency converter.
Using Automatic Energy Optimization (AEO), you
no longer need to calculate or assess the system
characteristics of the installation, since Danfoss VLT
6000 HVAC units guarantee optimum, load-dependent
energy consumption by the motor at all times.

The figure on the right illustrates the working
range of the AEO function, within which energy
optimization is enabled.

VLT®6000 HVAC Series

If the AEO function has been selected in parameter 101,
Torque characteristics, this function will be constantly
active. If there is a major deviation from the optimum U/f
ratio, the frequency converter will quickly adjust itself.

Advantages of the AEO function

• Automatic energy optimization

• Compensation if an oversize motor is used

• AEO matches operations to daily or

seasonal fluctuations

• Energy savings in a constant air volume system

• Compensation in the oversynchronous

working range

• Reduces acoustic motor noise

■Example of application - Speed control of

fan in ventilation system

The AHU installation is able to distribute air throughout
the building or to one or several parts of a building.
Normally, an AHU installation consists of a fan and
a motor that supply air, a fan scroll and a duct
system with filters. If centralised air distribution is
applied, the efficiency of the installation will increase
and major energy savings can be made.
A VLT 6000 HVAC enables excellent control and
monitoring, thereby ensuring perfect conditions
in the building at all times.

VLT®6000 HVAC Series

This example shows an application with Run permissive,
warning against no load and warning for filter change.
The Run permissive function ensures that the frequency
converter will not start the motor until the discharge
damper has opened. If the V-belt to the fan breaks
and if the filter is to be changed, this application
will also give a warning on an output.

■Example of application - Constant pressure

regulation in water supply system

The demand for water from waterworks varies
considerably during the course of a day. In the night,
practically no water is used, while in the morning
and in the evening the consumption is high. In order
to maintain a suitable pressure in the water supply
lines in relation to the current demand, the water
supply pumps are equipped with speed control.
The use of frequency converters enables the energy
consumed by the pumps to be kept at a minimum,
while optimizing the water supply to consumers.

VLT®6000 HVAC Series

A VLT 6000 HVAC with its integral PID controller
ensures simple and quick installation. For example,
an IP54 unit can be mounted close to the pump on
the wall and the existing line cables can be used as
mains supply to the frequency converter. A Pressure
transmitter (e.g. Danfoss MBS 33 0-10) bar can
be fitted a couples of metres from the joint outlet
point from the waterworks to obtain closed loop
regulation. Danfoss MBS 33 is a two-wire transmitter
(4-20 mA) that can be powered directly from a VLT
6000 HVAC. The required setpoint (e.g. 5 bar) can
be set locally in parameter 418 Setpoint 1.

Set the following parameters:
Par. 100 Configuration Closed loop [1]
Par. 205 Maximum reference 10 bar

■CE labelling

What is CE labelling?

The purpose of CE labelling is to avoid technical
obstacles to trade within EFTA and the EU. The
EU has introduced the CE label as a simple way of
showing whether a product complies with the relevant
EU directives. The CE label says nothing about the
specifications or quality of the product. Frequency
converters are regulated by three EU directives:

The machinery directive (98/37/EEC)

All machines with critical moving parts are covered
by the machinery directive, which came into force
on 1 January 1995. Since a frequency converter is
largely electrical, it does not fall under the machinery
directive. However, if a frequency converter is supplied
for use in a machine, we provide information on safety
aspects relating to the frequency converter. We do
this by means of a manufacturer’sdeclaration.

The low-voltage directive (73/23/EEC)

Frequency converters must be CE labelled in
accordance with the low-voltage directive, which came
into force on 1 January 1997. The directive applies to
all electrical equipment and appliances used in the 50 ­1000 Volt AC and the 75 - 1500 Volt DC voltage ranges.
Danfoss CE labels in accordance with the directive and
issues a declaration of conformity upon request.

The EMC directive (89/336/EEC)

EMC is short for electromagnetic compatibility. The
presence of electromagnetic compatibility means
that the mutual interference between different
components/appliances is so small that the functioning
of the appliances is not affected.
The EMC directive came into force on 1 January 1996.
Danfoss CE labels in accordance with the directive and
issues a declaration of conformity upon request. In
order that EMC-correct installation can be carried out,
this manual gives detailed instructions for installation. In
addition, we specify the standards which our different
products comply with. We offer the filters that can be
seen from the specifications and provide other types of
assistance to ensure the optimum EMC result.

In the great majority of cases, the frequency converter
is used by professionals of the trade as a complex
component forming part of a larger appliance, system
orinstallation. Itmustbenotedthattheresponsibility
for the final EMC properties of the appliance, system
or installation rests with the installer.

NOTE: VLT 6001-6072, 525-600 V are not CE labelled.

Introduction to

■PC software and serial communication

Danfoss offers various options for serial communication.
Using serial communication, it is possible to monitor,
program and control one or several frequency
converters from a centrally located computer.
All VLT 6000 HVAC units have a RS 485 port as
standard with a choice of four protocols. The protocols
selectable in parameter 500 Protocols are:

• FC protocol

• Johnson Controls Metasys N2

• Landis/Staefa Apogee FLN

• Modbus RTU

A bus option card allows higher transmission speed
than RS 485. In addition, a higher number of units
can be linked to the bus and alternative transmission
media can be used. Danfoss offers the following
option cards for communication:

• Profibus

• LonWorks

• DeviceNet

Information on the installation of various options
is not included in this manual.

available for this purpose. It can be used to monitor,
program and control one or several VLT 6000 HVAC
units. For further information, see the Design Guide
for VLT 6000 HVAC or contact Danfoss.

■Unpacking and ordering a VLT frequency c onverter

If you are in doubt as to which frequency converter
you have received and which options it contains,
use the following to find out.

■Type code ordering number string

On the basis of your order, the frequency converter is
given an ordering number that can be seen from the
nameplate on the unit. The number may look as follows:

VLT-6008-H-T4-B20-R3-DL-F10-A00-C0

This means that the frequency converter ordered is a
VLT 6008 for three-phase mains voltage of 380-460 V
(T4) in Bookstyle enclosure IP 20 (B20). The hardware
variant is with integral RFI filter, classes A & B (R3). The
frequency converter features a control unit (DL)witha
PROFIBUS option card (F10). No option card (A00)
and no conformal coating (C0) Character no. 8 ( H)
indicates the application range of the unit: H =HVAC.

IP 00: This enclosure is only available for the larger
power sizes of the VLT 6000 HVAC series. It is
recommended for installation in standard cabinets.
IP 20 Bookstyle: This enclosure is designed for
cabinet installation. It takes up a minimum of
space and can be fitted side-by-side without
installation of extra cooling equipment.
IP 20/NEMA 1: This enclosure is used as standard
enclosure for VLT 6000 HVAC. It is ideal for
cabinet installation in areas where a high degree
of protection is required. This enclose also
permits side-by-side installation.

IP54 units are not intended for direct outdoor installation. The IP54 rating does not relate to other
exposures as sun, icing, wind blown driving rain. Under such circumstances Danfoss recommends to
install the units in an enclosure designed for these environmental conditions. Alternatively, an installation
at minimum 0.5 m above surface and covered by a shed is recommended.

NB!:

VLT 6002-6072, 525-600 V units do not comply
with EMC, Low Voltage or PELV directives.

VLT 6000 HVAC protection

• Electronic motor thermal protection against overload.

• Temperature monitoring of heat-sink ensures that the frequency converter cuts out if the temperature

reaches 90°C for IP00, IP20 and NEMA 1. For IP54, the cut-out temperature is 80°C. An overtemperature
can only be reset when the temperature of the heat-sink has fallen below 60°C.

For the units mentioned below, the limits are as follows:

- VLT 6152, 380-460 V, cuts out at 75° C and can be reset if the temperature is below 60 °C.

- VLT 6172, 380-460 V, cuts out at 80° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 60° C.

- VLT 6222, 380-460 V, cuts out at 95° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 65° C.

- VLT 6272, 380-460 V, cuts out at 95° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 65° C.

- VLT 6352, 380-460 V, cuts out at 105° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 75° C.

- VLT 6402-6602, 380-460 V cuts out at 85° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 60

- VLT 6102-6152, 525-600 V, cuts out at 75° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below
60° C.
VLT 6172, 525-600 V, cuts out at 80° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 60° C.
VLT 6222-6402, 525-600 V, cuts out at 100° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 70° C.
VLT 6502-6652, 525-600 V, cuts out at 75° C and can be reset if the temperature has fallen below 60° C.

°C

Installation

• The frequency converter is protected against short-circuiting on motor terminals U, V, W.

• The frequency converter is protected against earth fault on motor terminals U, V, W.

• Monitoring of the intermediate circuit voltage ensures that the frequency converter cuts out if the

intermediate circuit voltage gets too high or too low.

• If a motor phase is missing, the frequency converter cuts out.

• If there is a mains fault, the frequency converter is able to carry out a controlled decelleration.

• If a mains phase is missing, the frequency converter will cut out or autoderate when a load is placed on

the motor.
