The frequency converter is 100% preset for speed open
loop conguration with 0-10 V reference corresponding to
1800-5400 RPM for CDS 302 and 1500-6000 RPM for CDS
The dedicated frequency converter functionality includes:
Start Up
•
Once the frequency converter has a start
command, the compressor runs up to 3000 RPM
and remains at that speed for 10 s. Once this
initial time is complete, the frequency converter
slowly ramps to the reference speed.
Shut Down
•
The stop command bypasses the normal ramp
time and the frequency converter ramps the
compressor to stop fast.
Short Cycle Prevention
•
The frequency converter has a minimum running
time of 12 s, with an interval between starts of 5
minutes (300 s). The short cycle delay values are
adjustable in parameter group 28-0* Short CycleProtection.
Oil Injection
•
The frequency converter cycles a solenoid valve
via its relay 1. This cycling ensures that the oil is
distributed to the scroll set, improves tightness,
and reduces internal gas leakage during the
compression process.
Oil Management
•
If compressor speed is below 3000 RPM for a
determined amount of time (within 60 minutes),
the boost cycle runs the compressor back to 4200
RPM for a determined amount of time (within 90
s). The maximum time between xed boosts is
limited to a determined amount of time (within
24 hours).
Discharge Temperature Limit
•
If the discharge temperature exceeds the warning
level of 266 °F, the compressor drops in speed by
10 Hz for the next 3 minutes. The compressor
continues to drop 10 Hz for each 3 minutes for as
long as the temperature is over the warning level.
If the discharge temperature exceeds the
emergency level of 293 °C, the compressor is
stops.
Crankcase Heater
•
On VSH088 and VSH117, when the compressor is
stopped, the frequency converter provides a DC
current to the compressor motor. The DC current
keeps the oil warm and an external crankcase
heater is not needed.
VSH170 needs an external crankcase heater
(surface sump heater or belt type).
Low Pressure Switch
•
An LP switch is mandatory with the frequency
converter compressor in any type of application.
High Pressure Switch
•
The high-pressure switch must be connected to
input terminal 37 of the frequency converter in
series with the other safety devices.
1.1.1 Sequence of Operation
All compressor types have strong demands of speed limits
to ensure the oil lubrication of the bearings. Therefore, fast
acceleration from standstill to minimum speed with a
special start ramp is important, when a start command is
given. This is also the reason why the Compressor Drive
trips with an alarm [A49] Speed Limit, if the speed falls
below minimum speed e.g. when the current limit
controller reduces the speed due to a high load. This alarm
is reset automatically after 30 s and the compressor
restarts.
If a rotor is blocked, the Compressor Drive trips with an
alarm [A18] Start failed, if the speed fails to get above the
minimum speed limit for the compressor within 2 s. This
alarm is reset automatically after 30 s and the compressor
restarts.
The manufacturer sets up the necessary start settings,
motor data and all the other preferred settings for each
compressor type/size. Automatically set up the values by
selecting the actual compressor in 1-13 CompressorSelection.
The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous
whenever the converter is connected to mains. Incorrect
tting of the motor or frequency converter may damage
the equipment, or cause serious injury, or death. It is
essential to comply with the instructions in this manual
as well as local and national rules and safety regulations.
WARNING
Installation in high altitudes:
By altitudes above 2 km (6561 ft), contact Danfoss
regarding PELV.
2.1.2 Caution

2.1.6 General Warning
WARNING
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after
the equipment has been disconnected from mains. Also
make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected, such as load-sharing (linkage of DC intermediate
circuit).
Using VLT® Compressor Drives: Wait at least 15 minutes.
Shorter time is allowed only if indicated on the
nameplate for the specic unit.
2.1.7 Leakage Current
CAUTION
The ground leakage current from the frequency
converter exceeds 3.5 mA. Ensure good mechanical
ground connection (terminal 95) to the ground cable.
Use at least 10 mm2 cable cross section or 2 times rated
ground wires terminated separately.
2.1.8 Residual Current Device
CAUTION
This product can cause a DC current in the protective
conductor. Where a ground fault interrupter (GFI) is used
for extra protection, only use an GFI of Type B (time
delayed) on the supply side of this product. See also RCDApplication Note, MN90G. Protective grounding of the
frequency converter and the use of RCDs must always
follow local and national regulations.
2.1.9 IT Mains
CAUTION
Do not connect 400 V frequency converters with RFI-lters to mains supplies with a voltage between phase
and ground of more than 440 V. For IT mains and delta
ground (grounded leg), mains voltage may exceed 440 V
between phase and ground. To disconnect the internal
RFI capacitors from the RFI lter to ground, use 14-50 RFI1 on the frequency converter. This procedure reduces the
RFI performance to A2 level.
2.1.10 Avoid Unintended Start
While the frequency converter is connected to mains, the
motor can be started/stopped using:
digital commands
•
bus commands
•
references
•
via the Local Control Panel (LCP)
•
Disconnect the frequency converter from mains whenever
personal safety considerations make it necessary to avoid
unintended start. To avoid unintended start, always press
[OFF] before changing parameters. An electronic fault,
temporary overload, a fault in the mains supply, or lost
motor connection may cause a stopped motor to start. A
frequency converter with Safe Torque O provides a
certain degree of protection against such unintended start,
if the Safe Torque O Terminal 37 is on low voltage level
or disconnected.
2.2 Safe Torque O
The frequency converter can perform the safety function
Safe Torque
Stop Category 0 (as dened in EN 60204-12).
Before integration and use of Safe Torque O in an installation, perform a thorough risk analysis to determine

The Safe Torque O (STO) function is activated by
removing the voltage at terminal 37 of the safe inverter. By
connecting the safe inverter to external safety devices
providing a safe delay, an installation for a Safe Torque O
Category 1 can be obtained. The Safe Torque O function
can be used for asynchronous, synchronous, and
permanent magnet motors.

2.2.1 Terminal 37 Safe Torque O Function
The frequency converter is available with Safe Torque O
functionality via control terminal 37. Safe Torque O
disables the control voltage of the power semiconductors
of the frequency converter output stage. This in turn
prevents generating the voltage required to rotate the
motor. When the Safe Torque O (T37) is activated, the
frequency converter issues an alarm, trips the unit, and
coasts the motor to a stop. Manual restart is required. The
Safe Torque O function can be used as an emergency
stop for the frequency converter. In normal operating
mode when Safe Torque O is not required, use the
regular stop function instead. When automatic restart is
used, ensure the requirements of ISO 12100-2 paragraph

Safe Torque O Installation and Set-Up
WARNING
SAFE TORQUE OFF FUNCTION!
The Safe Torque O function does NOT isolate mains
voltage to the frequency converter or auxiliary circuits.
Perform work on electrical parts of the frequency
converter or the motor only after isolating the mains
voltage supply and waiting the length of time specied
in chapter 2.1 Safety and Warnings. Failure to isolate the
mains voltage supply from the unit and waiting the time
specied could result in death or serious injury.
It is not recommended to stop the frequency
•
converter by using the Safe Torque O function.
If a running frequency converter is stopped by
using the function, the unit trips and stops by
coasting. If unacceptable or dangerous, use
another stop mode to stop the frequency
converter and machinery, before using this
function. Depending on the application, a
mechanical brake can be required.

This function is suitable for performing
•
mechanical work on the system or aected area
of a machine only. It does not provide electrical
safety. Do not use this function as a control for
starting and/or stopping the frequency converter.
To perform a safe installation of the frequency converter,
follow these steps:
1.Remove the jumper wire between control
terminals 37 and 12 or 13. Cutting or breaking
the jumper is not sucient to avoid shortcircuiting. (See jumper on Figure 2.2.)
2.Connect an external Safety monitoring relay via a
NO safety function to terminal 37 (Safe Torque
O) and either terminal 12 or 13 (24 V DC).
Follow the instruction for the safety device. The
Safety monitoring relay must comply with
Category 3 /PL “d” (ISO 13849-1) or SIL 2 (EN
O. Moreover, perform the test after each modication of
the installation.
Example with STO
A safety relay evaluates the E-Stop button signals and
triggers an STO function on the frequency converter in the
event of an activation of the E-Stop button (See Figure 2.4).
This safety function corresponds to a category 0 stop
(uncontrolled stop) in accordance with IEC 60204-1. If the
function is triggered during operation, the motor runs
down in an uncontrolled manner. The power to the motor
is safely removed, so that no further movement is possible.
It is not necessary to monitor plant at a standstill. If an
external force eect can occur, provide additional measures
to prevent any potential movement (for example
mechanical brakes).
NOTICE!

Example with SS1
SS1 corresponds to a controlled stop, stop category 1
according to IEC 60204-1 (see Figure 2.5). When activating
the safety function, the frequency converter performs a
normal controlled stop. This can be activated through
terminal 27. After the safe delay time has expired on the
external safety module, the STO will be triggered and
terminal 37 will be set low. Ramping down as congured
in the frequency converter. If the frequency converter is
not stopped after the safe delay time, the activation of STO
will coast the frequency converter.
NOTICE!
When using the SS1 function, the brake ramp of the
frequency converter is not monitored with respect to
safety.
Example with Category 4/PL e application
Where the safety control system design requires two
channels for the STO function to achieve Category 4/PL e,
implement one channel via Safe Torque O T37 (STO) and
the other by a contactor. Connect the contactor in either
the frequency converter input or output power circuits and
controlled by the Safety relay (see Figure 2.6). The
contactor must be monitored through an auxiliary guided
contact, and connected to the reset input of the Safety
Relay.

(see Figure 2.7). Connecting inputs increases the probability
of a fault in the unsafe direction. A fault in one frequency
converter can result in all frequency converters becoming

removing the 24 V DC voltage supply to the
terminal 37.
2.After activation of Safe Torque O (that is, after
the response time), the frequency converter
coasts (stops creating a rotational eld in the
motor). The response time is typically less than 10
ms.
The frequency converter is guaranteed not to restart
creation of a rotational eld by an internal fault (in
accordance with Cat. 3 of EN 954-1, PL d acc. EN ISO
13849-1 and SIL 2 acc. EN 62061). After activation of Safe
Torque O, the display shows the text ”Safe Stop
activated”. The associated help text says, "Safe Stop has
been activated. This means that the Safe Torque O has
been activated, or that normal operation has not been
resumed yet after Safe Torque O activation”.
NOTICE!
The requirements of Cat. 3 (EN 954-1)/PL “d” (ISO
13849-1) are only fullled while 24 V DC supply to
terminal 37 is kept removed or low by a safety device
which itself fullls Cat. 3 (EN 954-1) PL “d” (ISO 13849-1).
If external forces act on the motor, it must not operate
without additional measures for fall protection. External
forces can arise for example, in the event of vertical axis
(suspended loads) where an unwanted movement, for
example caused by gravity, could cause a hazard. Fall
protection measures can be additional mechanical

NOTICE!
See warning on the restart behaviour in
chapter 2.2.1 Terminal 37 Safe Torque O Function
WARNING
The Safe Torque O function can be used for
asynchronous, synchronous and permanent magnet
motors. Two faults can occur in the power semiconductor
of the frequency converter. When using synchronous or
permanent magnet motors a residual rotation can result
from the faults. The rotation can be calculated to Angle
= 360/(Number of Poles). The application using
synchronous or permanent magnet motors must take
this residual rotation into consideration and ensure that
it does not pose a safety risk. This situation is not
relevant for asynchronous motors.

3.3.2 Removal of Knockouts for Extra Cables
Remove cable entry from the frequency converter (avoiding foreign parts in the frequency converter when
•
removing knockouts)
Support cable entry around the knockout that should be removed
•
The knockout can now be removed with a strong mandrel and a hammer
Always wire terminal 96 (U) to T1, 97 (V) to T2, and 98
(W) to T3.
Figure 3.14 How to Connect to Motor Terminals B1/B2
Figure 3.13 Motor/Compressor Wiring
Motor compressor cable must be screened/armored. If an
unscreened/unarmored cable is used, some EMC
requirements are out of compliance. For more information,
see EMC specications.
1.Fasten decoupling plate to the bottom of the
frequency converter with screws and washers
from the accessory bag.
2.Attach motor compressor cable to terminals 96
(U), 97 (V), 98 (W).
3.Connect to ground connection (terminal 99) on
decoupling plate with screws from the accessory
bag.
4.Insert terminals 96 (U), 97 (V), 98 (W) and motor
compressor cable to terminals labeled MOTOR.
5.Fasten screened cable to decoupling plate with
screws and washers from the accessory bag.
6.Connect U, V, W for motor compressor clockwise.

3.3.6 Motor Compressors Cables
Correct dimensioning of motor compressor cable crosssection and length is described in the application manual.
Use a screened/armored motor compressor cable
•
to comply with EMC emission specications
Keep the motor compressor cable as short as
•
possible to reduce the noise level and leakage
currents
Connect the motor compressor cable screen to
•
both the decoupling plate of the frequency
converters and to the metal cabinet of the motor
compressor
Make the screen connections with the largest
•
possible surface area (cable clamp). Use the
supplied installation devices in the frequency
converter for making the screen connections.
3.3.7 Electrical Installation of Motor
Compressor Cables
Screening of cables
Avoid installation with twisted screen ends (pigtails). They
reduce the screening eect at higher frequencies.
Cable length and cross section
The frequency converter has been tested with a given
length of cable and a given cross section of that cable. If
the cross section is increased, the cable capacitance - and
thus the leakage current - may increase, and the cable
length must be reduced correspondingly.
Aluminum conductors
Aluminium conductors are not recommended. Terminals
accept aluminium conductors, but clean the conductor
surface and remove and seal the oxidation by neutral acidfree Vaseline grease before the conductor is connected.
Furthermore, the terminal screw must be retightened after
two days due to the softness of the aluminium. It is crucial
to keep the connection a gas tight joint, otherwise the
aluminium surface oxidizes again.

3.3.8 Compressor Motor Protection
The frequency converter fully provides electrical
compressor motor protection.
The frequency converter makes through an
•
electronic current measurement anti-overload and
lock-rotor compressor motor protection (see
description in the application manual).
The frequency converter is protected against
•
short circuits on compressor terminals T1, T2, T3
If a mains phase is missing, the frequency
•
converter trips or issues a warning (depending on
the load)
If a compressor motor phase is missing, the
•
frequency converter trips
The frequency converter is protected against
•
ground faults on compressor motor terminals T1,
T2, T3
Figure 3.17 C1, B1 and B2 Enclosures
Control terminals are located beneath the LCP. The inside
of the removable cover shows the terminals.
Use terminal 37 as input for safe stop. In rare cases, control cables more than 100 m (330 ft) and analog signals result in
50/60 Hz ground loops due to noise from mains supply cables. If this situation occurs, break the screen or insert a 100 nF
33
capacitor between screen and chassis. Connect the digital and analog inputs and outputs separately to the frequency
converter common inputs (terminal 20, 55, 39) to avoid ground currents aecting the system.
Figure 3.24 Electrical Diagram - Control Cables
Control cables must be shielded/armored. To connect the screen to the frequency converter decoupling plate for control
cables, use a clamp from the accessory bag.
Eliminate low-frequency noise currents between two
frequency converters by connecting one end of the screen
to terminal 61. This terminal is connected to ground via an
internal RC link. To reduce the dierential mode
interference between the conductors, use twisted-pair
cables.
33
Figure 3.26 indicates how correct grounding is carried out
and what to do if in doubt.
a. Correct grounding
Control cables and cables for serial communication must
tted with cable clamps at both ends to ensure the
be
best possible electrical contact.
b. Wrong grounding
Do not use twisted cable ends (pigtails). They increase the
screen impedance at high frequencies.
c. Protection concerning ground potential between PLC
(Program Logic Controller) and frequency converter
If the ground potential between the frequency converter
and the PLC (etc.) is dierent, electric noise may occur that
disturbs the entire system. Solve this problem by tting an
equalizing cable, next to the control cable. Minimum cable
cross-section: 16 mm2.
d. For 50/60 Hz ground loops
If long control cables are used, 50/60 Hz ground loops may
occur. Solve this problem by connecting one end of the
screen to ground via a 100 nF capacitor (keeping leads
short).
The following is a guideline to good engineering practice
33
when installing frequency converters. To comply with EN
61800-3 First environment, follow these guidelines. If the
installation is in EN 61800-3 Second environment, i.e.
industrial networks, or in an installation with its own
transformer, deviation from these guidelines is allowed, but
not recommended.
Good engineering practice to ensure EMC-correct
electrical installation
Use only braided screened/armored motor
•
compressor cables and braided screened/armored
control cables. The screen should provide a
minimum coverage of 80%. The screen material
must be metal, not limited to but typically
copper, aluminum, steel, or lead. There are no
special requirements for the mains cable.
Installations using rigid metal conduits are not
•
required to use screened cable, but the motor
compressor cable must be installed in conduit
separate from the control and mains cables. Full
connection of the conduit from the frequency
converter to the motor compressor is required.
The EMC performance of exible conduits varies a
lot and information from the manufacturer must
be obtained.
Leave the screen as close to the connectors as possible.
Figure 3.27 shows an example of an EMC-correct electrical
installation of an IP20 frequency converter.
The frequency converter is tted in an installation cabinet
with an output contactor and connected to a PLC, which is
installed in a separate cabinet. Other ways of doing the
installation may have just as good an EMC performance,
provided the above guide lines to engineering practice are
followed. Installing without following the guideline, and
using unscreened cables and control wires do not comply
with all emission requirements, although the immunity
requirements are
Connect the screen/armor/conduit to ground at
•
both ends for motor compressor cables as well as
for control cables. In some cases, it is not possible
to connect the screen in both ends. If so, connect
the screen at the frequency converter. See also
chapter 3.3.11 Electrical Installation, Control Cables.
Avoid terminating the screen/armor with twisted
•
ends (pigtails). It increases the high frequency
impedance of the screen, which reduces its
eectiveness at high frequencies. Use low
impedance cable clamps or EMC cable glands
instead.
Avoid using unscreened/unarmored motor
•
compressor or control cables inside cabinets
housing the frequency converter(s).
The frequency converter has a high leakage current and must be grounded appropriately for safety reasons according to EN
50178. The ground leakage current from the frequency converter exceeds 3.5 mA. To ensure a good mechanical connection
33
from the ground cable to the ground connection (terminal 95), the cable cross-section must be at least 10 mm2 or 2 rated
ground wires terminated separately.
