mismatching the variable speed drive with the motor.
The contents of this guide are believed to be correct at the time of printing. In the interests of a commitment
to a policy of continuous development and improvement, the manufacturer reserves the right to change the
specification of the product or its performance, or the contents of the guide, without notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means,
electrical or mechanical including photocopying, recording or by an information storage or retrieval system,
without permission in writing from the publisher.
Drive software version
This product is supplied with the latest software version. If this drive is to be connected to an existing system
or machine, all drive software versions should be verified to confirm the same functionality as drives of the
same model already present. This may also apply to drives returned from a Control Techniques Service
Centre or Repair Centre. If there is any doubt please contact the supplier of the product.
The software version of the drive can be checked by looking at Pr 11.29 and Pr 11.34.
This takes the form of xx.yy.zz where Pr 11.29 displays xx.yy and Pr 11.34 displays zz. (e.g. for software

Environmental statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations
and of its products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management
System (EMS) which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS,
our Environmental Policy and other relevant information is available on request, or can be found at
www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save energy
and (through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap throughout
their long working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far outweigh the
negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded but
should instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the products
easy to dismantle into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can
be separated without the use of tools, whilst other parts are secured with conventional fasteners. Virtually all
parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates, while
smaller products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre content. If
not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags for wrapping
product, can be recycled in the same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy prefers easily-recyclable
materials of low environmental impact, and regular reviews identify opportunities for improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and best
practice.
REACH legislation
EC Regulation 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals
(REACH) requires the supplier of an article to inform the recipient if it contains more than a specified
proportion of any substance which is considered by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to be a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and is therefore listed by them as a candidate for compulsory
authorization.
For current information on how this requirement applies in relation to specific Control Techniques products,

1Safety information
WARNING
CAUT ION
NOTE
1.1Warnings, Cautions and Notes
A Warning contains information, which is essential for avoiding a safety hazard.
A Caution contains information, which is necessary for avoiding a risk of damage to the
product or other equipment.
A Note contains information, which helps to ensure correct operation of the product.
1.2Electrical Safety - general warning
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns, and
could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to
the drive.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this guide.
1.3System design and safety of personnel
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into complete
equipment or system. If installed incorrectly, the drive may present a safety hazard.
The drive uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored electrical
energy, and is used to control equipment which can cause injury.
System design, installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out by
personnel who have the necessary training and experience. They must read this safety
information and this guide carefully.
The STOP and START controls or electrical inputs of the drive must not be relied
upon to ensure safety of personnel. They do not isolate dangerous voltages from
the output of the drive or from any external option unit. The supply must be
disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before gaining access to
the electrical connections.
The drive is not intended to be used for safety-related functions.
Careful consideration must be given to the function of the drive which might result in a
hazard, either through its intended behavior or through incorrect operation due to a
fault. In any application where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead
to or allow damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where
necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk - for example, an over-speed
protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a fail-safe mechanical brake
in case of loss of motor braking.

1.5Access
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply
at the place of use must be complied with.
The IP (Ingress Protection) rating of the drive is installation dependant. For further
information, refer to the Commander SK Technical Data Guide.
1.6Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must
be provided. See section 3.1 Fire protection on page 10 for more information.
1.7Compliance and regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such as national
wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) regulations. Particular attention must be given to the cross-sectional areas of
conductors, the selection of fuses and other protection, and protective ground (earth)
connections.
The Commander SK Technical Data Guide contains instructions for achieving
compliance with specific EMC standards.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply
with the following directives:
2006/42/EC: Safety of machinery
2004/108/EC: Electromagnetic compatibility
1.8Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
Standard squirrel cage induction motors are designed for single speed operation. If it is
intended to use the capability of a drive to run a motor at speeds above its designed
maximum, it is strongly recommended that the manufacturer is consulted first.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less
effective. The motor should be installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an
electric force vent fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection of the motor.
The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered into parameter 06, motor rated current.
This affects the thermal protection of the motor.
1.9Mechanical brake control
The brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated operation of an
external brake with the drive. While both hardware and software are designed to high
standards of quality and robustness, they are not intended for use as safety functions,
i.e. where a fault or failure would result in a risk of injury. In any application where the
incorrect operation of the brake release mechanism could result in injury, independent
protection devices of proven integrity must also be incorporated.
1.10Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not
be altered without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system.
Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering.

1.11Electrical installation
1.11.1 Electric shock risk
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and may
be lethal:
•AC supply cables and connections
•DC bus, dynamic brake cables and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must not be
touched.
1.11.2 Isolation device
The AC supply must be disconnected from the drive using an approved isolation device
before any cover is removed from the drive or before any servicing work is performed.
1.11.3 STOP function
The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the motor or
any external option units.
1.11.4 Stored charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the
AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC supply must
be isolated at least ten minutes before work may continue.
Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain, unusual
fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented
from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals. If the drive has failed
in a manner that causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors
will not be discharged. In this case, consult Control Techniques or their authorized
distributor.
1.11.5 Equipment supplied by plug and socket
Special attention must be given if the drive is installed in equipment which is connected
to the AC supply by a plug and socket. The AC supply terminals of the drive are
connected to the internal capacitors through rectifier diodes which are not intended to
give safety isolation. If the plug terminals can be touched when the plug is disconnected
from the socket, a means of automatically isolating the plug from the drive must be used
(e.g. a latching relay).
1.11.6 Ground leakage current
The drive is supplied with an internal EMC filter capacitor installed. If the input voltage to
the drive is supplied through an ELCB or RCD, these may trip due to the ground
leakage current. See section 4.3.1 Internal EMC filter on page 17 for further information
and how to disconnect the internal EMC capacitor.

Enclosure
The drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which prevents access except by
trained and authorized personnel, and which prevents the ingress of contamination. It is
designed for use in an environment classified as pollution degree 2 in accordance with
IEC 60664-1. This means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is acceptable.
3.1Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must
be provided.
For installation in the USA, a NEMA 12 enclosure is suitable.
For installation outside the USA, the following (based on IEC 62109-1, standard for PV
inverters) is recommended.
Enclosure can be metal and/or polymeric, polymer must meet requirements which can
be summarized for larger enclosures as using materials meeting at least UL 94 class
5VB at the point of minimum thickness.
Air filter assemblies to be at least class V-2.
The location and size of the bottom shall cover the area shown in Figure 3-1. Any part of
the side which is within the area traced out by the 5° angle is also considered to be part
of the bottom of the fire enclosure.
Figure 3-1 Fire enclosure bottom layout
The bottom, including the part of the side considered to be part of the bottom, must be
designed to prevent escape of burning material - either by having no openings or by
having a baffle construction. This means that openings for cables etc. must be sealed
with materials meeting the 5VB requirement, or else have a baffle above. See Figure 32 for acceptable baffle construction. This does not apply for mounting in an enclosed
electrical operating area (restricted access) with concrete floor.

Braking resistor: High temperatures and overload protection
Braking resistors can reach high temperatures. Locate braking resistors so that damage
cannot result. Use cable having insulation capable of withstanding the high temperatures.
It is essential that the braking resistor be protected against overload caused by a failure
of the brake control. Unless the resistor has in-built protection, a circuit like those shown
in

In both cases, there is an internal voltage surge suppression device connected to
ground. Under normal circumstances, this carries negligible current.
When the internal EMC filter is installed, the leakage current is high. In this case, a
permanent fixed ground connection must be provided using two independent conductors
each with a cross-section equal to or exceeding that of the supply conductors. The drive
is provided with two ground terminals to facilitate this. The purpose is to prevent a safety
hazard occurring if a connection is lost. Both ground connections are required to meet
the required european standard.

4.3EMC
4.3.1Internal EMC filter
It is recommended that the internal EMC filter is kept in place unless there is a specific
reason for removing it.
If the drive is to be used on an IT supply, then the filter must be removed.
The internal EMC filter reduces radio-frequency emissions into the mains supply. Where
the motor cable is short, it permits the requirements of EN 61800-3:2004 to be met for
the second environment.
For longer motor cables, the filter continues to provide a useful reduction in emission
level, and when used with any length of shielded cable up to the limit for the drive, it is
unlikely that nearby industrial equipment will be disturbed. It is recommended that the
filter be used in all applications unless the ground leakage current is unacceptable or
the above conditions are true.
When the internal EMC filter is used on the Commander SK size D, the motor cables (U,
V and W) need to be fed twice through a ferrite ring (provided with the drive), so that the
drive meets the requirements of operating in the second environment.

NOTE
Further EMC precautions are required if more stringent EMC emission requirements
apply:
•Operation in the first environment of EN 61800-3:2004
•Conformity to the generic emission standards
•Equipment which is sensitive to electrical interference operating nearby
In this case it is necessary to use:
•The optional external EMC filter
•A shielded motor cable, with shield clamped to the grounded metal panel
•A shielded control cable, with shield clamped to the grounded metal panel
Full instructions are given in the Commander SK Technical Data Guide.
A full range of external EMC filters is also available for use with Commander SK.
4.4Control terminals I/O specification
The control circuits are isolated from the power circuits in the drive by basic insulation
(single insulation) only. The installer must ensure that the external control circuits are
insulated from human contact by at least one layer of insulation (supplementary
insulation) rated for use at the AC supply voltage.
If the control circuits are to be connected to other circuits classified as Safety Extra Low
Voltage (SELV) (e.g. to personal computer), an additional isolating barrier must be
included in order to maintain the SELV classification.
The above warnings also apply to the PCB edge connector for the optional Solutions
Modules. To allow a Solutions Module to be installed with a Commander SK, a protective
cover must be removed to allow access to the PCB edge connector. See Figure 3-5 on
page 13. This protective cover provides protection from direct contact of the PCB edge
connector by the user. When this cover is removed and a Solutions Module installed, the
Solutions Module provides the protection from direct contact by the user. If the Solutions
Module is then removed, this PCB edge connector becomes exposed. The user is required
to provide protection in this case, to protect against direct contact of this PCB edge
connector.

If the enable terminal is opened, the drive’s output is disabled and the motor will coast to
a stop. The drive will not re-enable for 1.0s after the enable terminal is closed again.
* Following a drive trip, opening and closing the enable terminal will reset the drive. If
the run forward or run reverse terminal is closed, the drive will run straight away.
** Following a drive trip and a reset via the stop/reset key, the enable, run forward or run
reverse terminals will need to be opened and closed to allow the drive to run. This
ensures that the drive does not run when the stop/reset key is pressed.
The enable, run forward and run reverse terminals are level triggered apart from after a
trip where they become edge triggered. See * and ** above.
If the enable and run forward or enable and run reverse terminals are closed when the
drive is powered up, the drive will run straight away up to a set speed.
If both the run forward and run reverse terminals are closed, the drive will stop under the
control of the ramp and stopping modes set in Pr 30 and Pr 31.

This procedure is written from the first power up of the drive and assumes no terminals
have been connected, no parameters have been changed and no security has been set.
Figure 5-2
When in Status mode, pressing and holding the MODE key for 2 seconds will
change the display from displaying a speed indication to displaying load indication and
vice versa.
Pressing and releasing the MODE key will change the display from status mode to
parameter view mode. In parameter view mode, the left hand display flashes the
parameter number and the right hand display shows the value of that parameter.
Pressing and releasing the MODE key again will change the display from parameter
view mode to parameter edit mode. In parameter edit mode, the right hand display
flashes the value in the parameter being shown in the left hand display.
Pressing the MODE key in parameter edit mode will return the drive to the
parameter view mode. If the MODE key is pressed again then the drive will return to
status mode, but if either of the up or down keys are pressed to change the
parameter being viewed before the MODE key is pressed, pressing the MODE
key will change the display to the parameter edit mode again. This allows the user to
very easily change between parameter view and edit modes while commissioning the
drive.

Setting a security code allows view only access to all parameters.
A security code is locked into the drive when Pr 25 is set to any other value than 0 and
then LoC is selected in Pr 10. On pressing the MODE key, Pr 10 is automatically
changed from LoC to L1 and Pr 25 will be automatically set to 0 so as not to reveal the
security code.
Pr 10 may be changed to L2 or L3 to allow view only access to parameters.
5.6.1Setting a security code
•Set Pr 10 to L2.
•Set Pr 25 to the desired security code e.g. 5
•Set Pr 10 to LoC.
•Press the MODE key
•Pr 10 will now be reset to L1 and Pr 25 will be reset to 0.
•The security code will now be locked into the drive.

The setting of Pr 05 automatically sets up the drives configuration.
A change to Pr 05 is set by pressing the MODE key on exit from parameter edit mode.
The drive must be disabled, stopped or tripped for a change to take place. If Pr 05 is
changed while the drive is running, when the MODE key is pressed on exit from
parameter edit mode, Pr 05 will change back to its previous value.
When the setting of Pr 05 is changed, the appropriate drive configuration parameters are
set back to their default values.
For example, changing Pr 05 from AI.AV to PAd, means that Pr 11 would change to 0

WARNING
WARNING
NOTE
NOTE
Great care should be taken when implementing a brake control set-up, as this may
cause a safety issue depending on the application, e.g. crane. If in doubt, contact the
supplier of the drive for further information.
Ensure that the brake controller is set-up correctly before the electro-mechanical
brake circuit is connected to the drive. Disconnect the electro-mechanical brake circuit
before a default is performed.

Cooling fan control (size B, C and D only)
As default, the drive’s cooling fan is controlled by the drive. The fan will remain off until
the heatsink temperature reaches 60°C or the output current rises above 75% of the
drive rating. The fan will then switch on and run at full speed for a minimum of 20s.
Commander SK Getting Started Guide49
The cooling fan on a Commander SK size D is a dual speed fan. The drive controls the
speed at which the fan runs based on the temperature of the drives heatsink and also
the drive’s thermal model system.
For further details, see the Commander SK Advanced User Guide.

The Control Techniques UL file number is E171230. Confirmation of UL listing can be
found on the UL website: www.ul.com.
10.1.1 Conformity
The drive conforms to UL listing requirements only when the following are observed:
•Class 1 60/75°C (140/167°F) copper wire only is used in the installation
•The ambient temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F) when the drive is
operating
•The terminal tightening torques specified in section 4.1 Power terminal connections
are used
•The drive is installed into a separate electrical enclosure. The drive has a UL ‘Open
type’ enclosure rating.
•UL listed class CC fast acting fuses e.g. Bussman Limitron KTK series, Gould AmpTrap ATM series or equivalent are used in the AC supply.
10.1.2 AC supply specification
The drive is suitable for use in a circuit capable of delivering not more than 100,000
RMS symmetrical Amperes at 264Vac RMS maximum (200V drives), 528Vac RMS
maximum (400V drives) or 132Vac RMS (110V drives).
10.1.3 Motor overload protection
The drive provides motor overload protection. The overload protection level is 150% of
full-load current. It is necessary for the motor rated current to be entered into Pr 06 for
the protection to operate correctly. The protection level may be adjusted below 150% if
required. Refer to the Commander SK Advanced User Guide for further information.
10.1.4 Overspeed protection
The drive provides overspeed protection. However, it does not provide the level of
