Introduction
This manual covers Air-Cooled, LiquiFlo (LF ) and LiquiFlo 2.0 (LF 2.0) VFDs on centrifugal chillers with MicroTech 200 or the newer MicroTech II™ controllers. Many issues are the same for both and are treated in common. Where differences occur, information will be designated as being for a specific VFD or controller model.
The above three types of VFDs have four family designations as show in Table 1 and Table
2. Each of these VFD families has a separate section in this manual. There is considerable overlap in programming methods and general operation of the drives, but they are in separate sections to avoid confusion. The beginning page number for each control section in the manual is noted in the tables.

WSC and WDC single and dual compressor, and WCC dual compressor chillers can be equipped with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD). A VFD starts the compressor motor and then modulates the compressor speed in response to load, evaporator pressure, and condenser pressure, as sensed by the chiller microprocessor. Despite the small power penalty attributed to the VFD internal losses, a chiller can achieve outstanding overall efficiency by using a VFD. VFDs are effective when there is a reduced load, combined with a low compressor lift (lower condenser water temperatures), dominating the operating hours.
The traditional method of controlling centrifugal compressor capacity is by inlet guide vanes. Slowing down the compressor, thereby reducing the impeller tip speed, can also reduce capacity. However, sufficient impeller tip speed must always be maintained to meet the chiller’s discharge pressure requirements. The speed control method is more efficient than guide vanes by themselves.
In actual practice, a combination of the two techniques is used. The microprocessor slows the compressor (to a programmed minimum percent of full load speed) as much as possible,
4 IOMM VFD-2
Page 5
considering the need for sufficient tip speed, to make the required compressor lift. Then the guide vanes take over for further capacity reduction. This methodology provides the optimum efficiency under any operating condition.
Inlet guide vanes control compressor capacity based on a signal from the microprocessor, which is sensing changes in the leaving chilled water temperature. The guide vanes vary capacity by changing the angle and flow of the suction gas entering the impeller. The impeller takes a smaller “bite” of the gas. Reduced gas flow results in less capacity. Compressors start unloaded (guide vanes closed) in order to reduce the starting effort. A vane-closed switch (VC) signals the microprocessor that the compressor vanes are closed.
VFDs can be found on centrifugal chillers with the older MicroTech 200 controller (sometimes referred to as MicroTech I or just plain MicroTech) or the newer MicroTech II controller. The two MicroTech controller versions are easily differentiated as shown below. The MicroTech II panel shown below is the initial version known as Panel 1. Panel 2, shown on page 50, replaced it in mid-2005.
MicroTech 200 Control Panel
MicroTech II Operator Interface Panel 1
Operation and adjustment of the VFD involves settings on both the VFD itself and also to the chiller controller, either MicroTech 200 controller or MicroTech II controller. This manual consists of a section relating to VFD operation common to both chiller controllers and also separate sections for the settings specific to either of the chiller MicroTech controllers.
NOTE: VFDs are programmed differently in the factory for 50 and 60 hertz applications. It is prudent to verify this by checking the settings sticker in the unit and the actual unit settings using the Reliance manual shipped with the VFD unit as a reference.

General Description
The VFD will not generate damaging voltage pulses at the motor terminals when applied within 500 feet of each other. The VFD drive complies with NEMA MG1 section
30.40.4.2, which specifies these limits at a maximum peak voltage of 600 volts and a minimum rise time of 0.1 microseconds.
All VFDs require cooling. Models VFD 019 and VFD 028, rated at 273 amps or less, are air-cooled. All others are water-cooled.
Factory-mounted, water-cooled VFDs have VFD cooling water combined in the factory with the compressor oil cooling system.
Freestanding water-cooled VFDs require field-installed chilled water supply and return piping for the VFD. Models VFD 090 and 120 and all LF 2.0 models have an intermediate cooling module, field installed, between the cooling source and the VFD.
Water-cooled VFD’s have a liquid-cooled heatsink assembly enabling liquid cooling of the drive though a single inlet and outlet connection point.
There is a temperature-regulating valve located in the drive. It must be set to maintain 95°F (35°C) leaving coolant temperature. This is necessary to prevent condensation from forming in the heatsink. Minimum entering coolent temperature is 40°F (4.4°C).
Air-Cooled/LiquiFlo (LF ), Standard Features
Electronic overload circuit designed to protect an AC motor, operated by the VFD output, from extended overload operation on an inverse time basis. This electronic overload is UL and NEC recognized as adequate motor protection. No additional hardware, such as motor overload relays, or motor thermostats are required.
An LED display that digitally indicates:
Frequency output Input kW DC bus voltage Voltage output Elapsed time Motor RPM Current output Time stamped fault indication
The VFD is capable of maintaining operation through power dips up to 10 seconds without a controller trip, depending upon load and operating conditions. In this extended ride-through, the drive uses the energy generated by the load inertia of the motor as a power source for electronic circuits.
An isolated 0-20mA, 4-20mA, or 0-4, 0-8, 0-10 V analog speed input follower.
An isolated 0-10V or 4-20mA output signal proportional to speed or load.

Quality A ssurance
Every VFD is functionally tested under motor load. During this test the VFD is
monitored for correct phase current, phase voltages, and motor speed. Correct current limit operation is verified by simulating a motor overload.
Scrolling through all parameters verifies proper factory presets. The computer port also
verifies that the proper factory settings are loaded into the drive.
Every VFD’s heatsink is tested to verify proper embedding of the tubing for flow of
coolant liquid. Thermal tests are performed on the VFD to verify that the cooling occurs within the correct temperature range.

Installation
Mounting Arrangement s
Depending on size and type, VFDs may be factory-mounted with power and control wiring factory-installed or free-standing, requiring field mounting remote from the unit and field­wiring of power and control wiring. Because of dimension restrictions for shipping, some “factory-mounted” VFDs for some large chillers are shipped separate from the unit. Mounting supports are on the unit and preassembled cable kits are provided. Mounting and wiring on site are the customer’s responsibility and can be subcontracted to McQuay Factory Service if desired.
Factory-Mounted (extra cost option):
The VFD is mounted on the chiller unit with the back of the VFD against the motor terminal box and wired directly to the motor. This arrangement is only available on WSC/WDC 063, 079, or 087 units and with LF.
On models WSC/WDC 048/050, the VFD (LF only) is factory-mounted on the front of the chiller unit and connected to the motor with conduit and cable.
Free-standing (standard):
Floor-mounted, separate from the chiller unit, and field wired to the compressor motor. This is available on all VFDs and is the only VFD arrangement available for WDC/WCC 100 and 126 dual compressor units.
Brackets and cable (extra cost option):
VFDs (LF only) for WSC 100 to 126 single compressor units may be shipped separately from the chiller unit and furnished with mounting brackets and interconnecting cables for field mounting and connection by others. This option must be clearly specified when chillers are ordered since brackets are welded onto the evaporator during its construction.

Receiving
Since factory-mounted VFDs are mounted and wired at the factory, this section will only apply to free-standing units.
The unit should be inspected immediately after receipt for possible damage. All McQuay centrifugal VFDs are shipped FOB factory and all claims for handling and
shipping damage are the responsibility of the consignee.
Rigging
Extreme care must be used when rigging the equipment to prevent damage. See the certified dimension drawings included in the job submittal for the center of gravity of the unit. Consult the local McQuay sales office for assistance if the drawings are not available.
IOMM VFD-2 11

Air-Cooled, The unit can be lifted by fastening the rigging hooks to the two lifting eyes located on the top of the unit.
LiquiFlo; The unit can be lifted by fastening the rigging hooks to the four lifting eyes located on the top of the unit.
LiquiFlo 2.0:
Figure 2, LF 2.0, Lifting Point s
Use the following procedure to lift and mount the LiquiFlo 2.0 drive:
Step 1. Using an overhead or portable hoist (minimum 2 ton rated capacity), attach a free-fall chain to the chain secured to the drive. Take up any vertical slack in the chain.
Step 2. Using the hoist, lift the drive from the horizontal shipping pallet. Step 3. Position the drive. Step 4. Machine or floor-mount the drive enclosure using 1/2-inch bolts, grade 5 or
better, with compression washers.
Location and Mounting
Location
Consider the following guidelines: •
Verify that NEMA 1 enclosure drives can be kept clean and dry.
The area chosen should allow the space required for proper air flow. A minimum of 6-
inch clearance is required wherever vents are located.
Be sure that the NEMA 1 enclosure is installed away from oil, coolants, or other airborne contaminants.
Do not install the drive above 1000 meters (3300 feet) without derating output power. For every 91.4 meters (300 feet) above 1000 meters (3300 feet), derate the output current 1%.
Verify that the drive location meets the environmental conditions specified on page 5.
Floor-mounted units should be attached to the floor with the C-channel rails provided.
12 IOMM VFD-2
Page 13
Clearance
The VFDs must be mounted on a level concrete or steel base and must be located to provide adequate service. Local codes or the National Electric Code (NEC) can require more clearance in and around electrical components and must be checked.
Mounting
Make sure that the floor or structural support is adequate to support the weight of the unit shown on the dimension drawing.
Standard NEMA 1 and NEMA 12 VFDs must be installed indoors in an area that is not exposed to direct water spray. Do not install in areas where the ambient temperature falls below 32°F (0°C) or exceeds 104°F (40°C) enclosed, or 122°F (50°C) open unless this was noted at the time of order placement and special precautions were taken to protect against these abnormal temperatures.
Heatsink temperatures can run as high as 158°F (70°C) during normal operation. Do not mount the starter in contact with any material that cannot accept this heat. The VFD must be mounted with the heat sink fins oriented vertically in an area that will not experience excessive shock or vibration.
Grounding the Drive
Use the following steps to ground the drive:
Step 1. Open the door of the enclosure. Step 2. Run a suitable equipment grounding conductor unbroken from the drive
enclosure ground lug to earth ground. See figure 2.2. Tighten these grounding connections to the proper torque.
Step 3. Close the door of the enclosure.
Safety Precautions
Electrical codes require that all equipment (VFD, motor, operator station, etc.) be properly grounded. An incoming disconnect must be locked open before wiring or servicing the starter, motor, or other related equipment. The equipment must only be serviced by qualified personnel fully trained and familiar with the equipment.
The opening of the branch circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault current has been interrupted. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, current carrying parts and other components of the starter should be inspected and replaced if damaged.
Equipment is at line voltage when AC power is connected. Pressing the Stop push-button does not remove AC mains potential. All phases must be disconnected before it is safe to work on machinery or touch motor terminals and control equipment parts.
Cooling Requirements for VFDs
Air-cooled VFDs: all air-cooled have self-contained cooling systems and require no field work.
Water-cooleed, factory-mounted VFDs: VFD cooling water piping is factory-connected to the chiller’s oil cooling system. See Figure 3. Cooling water piping is to the normal chiller oil-cooling system connections.
Freestanding VFDs: VFD cooling water piping must be field connected on freestanding units. See Figure 4. Cooling water is connected directly to models 047LA through 072LW. Models 090LW and 120LW, and all LF 2.0 units, are always freestanding and have a separate cooling module that must be field piped to the cooling water supply and also interconnected to the VFD. See page 15 for detailed installation instructions.

Notes:
1. Cooling water must be from the closed, chilled water circuit with corrosion inhibitors for steel and copper, and must be piped across the chilled water pump.
2. The pressure drop is given for the maximum coolant temperature (maximum flow). The water-regulating valve will reduce the flow when the coolant temperature is below the maximum in the table. The pressure drop includes the drop across the solenoid valve, heat exchanger and water regulating valve.
3. Models VFD 090and 120 and all LF 2.0 models have a separate self-contained cooling loop with a recirculating water pump and heat exchanger, but have the same cooling source water piping as all water-cooled VFDs.

Separate Cooling Module (LF VFD 090, 120 and all LF 2.0)
The cooling module for the LF models VDF 090 and 120 has a self-contained coolant temperature control system and no associated programming of the VDF is required. All cooling modules used with LF 2.0 VFD models are controlled by the VFD and require VFD programming as shown on page 19. This is done by McQuay at startup.
Closed loop cooling system operation
A pump circulates a glycol/ water mixture (coolant) through the VFD heat sink, a coolant reservoir and a small plate heat exchanger. Heat is removed from the VFD heat sink and rejected to the plate heat exchanger.
The pump and control valve are controlled by the VFD control system on LF 2.0 VFD models and self-contained on LF models.
The plate heat exchanger is cooled by water from the chilled water system
Installation steps:
Place cooling loop module in desired location.
Attach coolant and chilled water piping. Seven to nine gpm of coolant will be circulated. A
40 mesh strainer is required at the drive inlet. Include service isolation valves in the coolant and chilled water inlet and outlet piping.

The following is required from the customer's chilled water supply for the McQuay VFD cooling loop to perform properly.
Water Quality:
Water must be compatible with components supplied in the cooling loop; brass, copper, stainless steel and neoprene rubber seals. Supply water circulates through a copper brazed stainless steel, plate type heat exchanger by way of a stainless steel and brass ball valve and associated stainless steel, brass and copper piping.
Water Source:
Clean and non-corrosive chilled water must be used as the coolant.

Cooling Loop Liquid:
25% inhibited (corrosion protected) propylene glycol (DOWFROST or equivalent) concentration by volume with distilled water. Non-inhibited or silicate containing glycols may cause equipment damage.
Coolant Volume:
Approx. 1 gallon is required with side-by-side connection of cooling module to the drive cabinet. More coolant volume will be required if coolant loop is located up to 20 feet away from drive.
Coolant Maintenance:
The coolant liquid should be checked and refreshed as needed on a yearly basis. The pH should be maintained between 8.0 and 10.0. A 50% solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide can be used to raise pH if falls below 8.0. Any time the coolant falls below a pH of 7.0 the loop should be flushed and coolant replaced. Any time the coolant appears other than water white it should be replaced.
Remote Mounted Cooling Loop:
The maximum distance the cooling loop can be installed away from the drive cabinet connections is 20 feet. Careful planning of remote mounting is required to minimize coolant flow restrictions introduced by piping connections.
Cooling Module Parameters Set in LF 2.0 VFD models
LF 2.0 drives control the operation of the cooling module. The parameters are set by McQuay at chiller commissioning.

Wiring, General
Unit-Mounted: Unit mounted VFDs have factory-wired control wiring plus power wiring from the VFD to the compressor motor terminals. The VFDs only require a power supply. Cable entrance is shown on the dimension drawings beginning on page 32 for LF and page Error! Bookmark not defined. for LF 2.0 models. An exception is on models LF models 090 and 120 and all LF 2.0 models that require some interconnection control wiring from the VFD to the remote cooling module as described in the section beginning on page 15.
Freestanding: Freestanding units require both field control and power wiring from the VFD to the chiller and. some interconnection control wiring on models 090 and 120.
Wiring Diagram: The control and power wiring diagram is located on page 25.
Power Wiring
Wiring, fuse and wire size must be in accordance with local codes and the National Electric Code (NEC).
CAUTION
Voltage unbalance not to exceed 2% with a resultant current unbalance of 6 to
10 times the voltage unbalance per NEMA MG-1, 1998 Standard. This is an
important requirement to avoid excessive motor or drive heating.
WARNING
Qualified and licensed electricians must perform wiring. Shock hazard exists.
Power wiring to compressors must be in proper phase sequence. Motor rotation is set up for clockwise rotation facing the lead end with phase sequence of 1-2-3. Care must be taken that the proper phase sequence is carried through the VFD to the compressor. With the phase sequence of 1-2-3 and L1 connected to T1 and T6, L2 connected to T2 and T4, and L3 connected to T3 and T5, rotation is proper. See diagram in terminal box cover.
The McQuay start-up technician will check the phase sequence.
CAUTION
Connections to terminals must be made with copper lugs and copper wire.
Care must be taken when attaching leads to compressor terminals.
Note: Do not make final connections to motor terminals until wiring has been
checked and approved by a McQuay technician.
Under no circumstances should a compressor be brought up to speed unless proper sequence and rotation have been established. Serious damage can result if the compressor starts in the wrong direction. Such damage is not covered by product warranty.
Compressor Motor Terminal Insulation
It is the installing contractor's responsibility to insulate the compressor motor terminals (as described below) when the unit is installed in a high humidity location that could cause condensate to form on the motor terminals. The terminals are cooled to 45°F to 50°F as a result of the motor cooling. The required material can be ordered and shipped in as a kit (775123601).
IOMM VFD-2 21
Page 22
This is to be done after the McQuay start-up technician has checked for proper phase sequence and motor rotation.
Following this verification by the McQuay technician, the contractor should apply the following items.
Materials required:
1. Loctite® brand safety solvent (12 oz. package available as McQuay part number 350A263H72)
2. 3M Co. Scotchfil brand electrical insulation putty (available in a 60-inch roll as McQuay part number 350A263H81)
3. 3M Co. Scotchkote brand electrical coating (available in a 15 oz. can with brush as McQuay Part Number 350A263H16)
4. Vinyl plastic electrical tape
The above items are available at most electrical supply outlets.
Application procedure:
1. Disconnect and lock out the power source to the compressor motor.
2. Using the safety solvent, clean the motor terminals, motor barrel adjacent to the terminals, lead lugs, and electrical cables within the terminal 4OX to remove all dirt, grime, moisture and oil.
3. Wrap the terminal with Scotchfil putty, filling in all irregularities. The final result should be smooth and cylindrical.
4. Doing one terminal at a time, brush the Scotchkote coating on the motor barrel to a distance of up to '/2" around the terminal and on the wrapped terminal, the rubber insulation next to the terminal, and the lug and cable for approximately 10". Wrap additional Scotchfil insulation over the Scotchkote coating.
5. Tape the entire wrapped length with electrical tape to form a protective jacket.
6. Finally, brush on one more coat of Scotchkote coating to provide an extra moisture barrier.
22 IOMM VFD-2
Page 23
General Wiring Practice
1. Never connect input AC power to the motor output terminals T1/U, T2/V or T3/W.
2. Power wiring to the motor must have the maximum possible separation from all other wiring. Do not run control wiring in the same conduit; this separation reduces the possibility of coupling electrical noise between circuits. Minimum spacing between metallic conduits containing different wiring groups should be three inches (76 mm).
3. Minimum spacing between different wiring groups should be six inches (152
mm).
4. Wire runs outside of an enclosure should be run in metallic conduit or have shielding/armor with equivalent attenuation.
5. Different wire groups should cross at 90 degrees whenever power and control
wiring cross.
6. Different wire groups should be run in separate conduits.
7. Adhere to local electrical codes.
8. The National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code requires that an approved circuit disconnecting device be installed in series with the incoming AC supply in a location readily accessible to personnel installing or servicing this equipment. If a disconnect switch is not supplied with the starter, one must be installed.
9. Supply lines and motor lines may enter the enclosure from the top, bottom or sides. Wire connections can be determined to best suit specific installations. Wire runs should be properly braced to handle both starting and fault currents. Size power cable per local electrical codes. Long lengths of cable to the motor of over 150 feet must be de-rated.
Terminal Sizes
Compressor Motor Terminals
Power wiring connections at the motor are “spark plug” type terminals with threaded copper bar, sized per the following table.
Table 6, Chiller Compressor Motor Terminal Sizes
Type/Size Comp. Size Terminal Size
Low Voltage to 275 A, to 575 V CE 050 0.375-16 UNC2A, 0.94 in. long Low Voltage to 750 A, to 575V CE 063-126 0.635-11 UNC-2A, 1.88 in. long
VFD Terminals
For field wiring freestanding VFDs, the outgoing terminals and incoming power block terminals are determined by the VFD size listed in Table 8. For factory­mounted VFDs, the outgoing terminals are factory-connected to the compressor motor.
When wiring to a VFD with a disconnect switch or circuit breaker, the incoming lug size is determined by the device size as shown in Table 9.

Optional Line Reactor Installation, Air-Cooled/LF Only
Mounting Options
Optional line reactors can be mounted in the VFD enclosure on free-standing units and must be field-mounted and wired when the VFD is factory-mounted. When the reactor is installed in the VFD enclosure, a much larger enclosure is required and it is too large to mount on the chiller.
VFD Line Harmonics
VFDs have many benefits, but care must be taken when applying VFDs due to the effect of line harmonics on the building electric system. VFDs cause distortion of the AC line because they are nonlinear loads, that is, they don't draw sinusoidal current from the line. They draw their current from only the peaks of the AC line, thereby flattening the top of the voltage waveform. Some other nonlinear loads are electronic ballasts and uninterruptible power supplies.
Reflected harmonic levels are dependent on the source impedance and the KVA of the of the power system to which the drive is connected. Generally, if the connected power source has a capacity greater than twice the drive’s rated amps (see Table 1 or Table 2 for rated amps), the installation will conform to IEEE Standard 519 with no additional attenuation. Presumably, the application on which this drive is applied has been checked for harmonic levels. If not, contact the local McQuay office.
The IEEE 519-1991 Standard
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has developed a standard that defines acceptable limits of system current and voltage distortion. A simple form is available from McQuay that allows McQuay to determine compliance with IEEE 519-1991. Line harmonics and their associated distortion may be critical to AC drive users for three reasons:
1. Current harmonics can cause additional heating to transformers, conductors, and switchgear.
2. Voltage harmonics upset the smooth voltage sinusoidal waveform.
3. High-frequency components of voltage distortion can interfere with signals transmitted on the AC line for some control systems.
The harmonics of concern are the 5 by three, and high magnitude harmonics are usually not a problem.
Current Harmonics
An increase in reactive impedance in front of the VFD helps reduce the harmonic currents. Reactive impedance can be added in the following ways:
1. Mounting the drive far from the source transformer.
2. Adding line reactors.
3. Using an isolation transformer.
Voltage Harmonics
Voltage distortion is caused by the flow of harmonic currents through a source impedance. A reduction in source impedance to the point of common coupling (PCC) will result in a reduction in voltage harmonics. This may be done in the following ways:
1. Keep the point of common coupling (PCC) as far from the drives (close to the power source) as possible.
2. Increase the size (decrease the impedance) of the source transformer.
th
, 7th, 11th, and 13th. Even harmonics, harmonics divisible
IOMM VFD-2 25
Page 26
3. Increase the capacity of the busway or cables from the source to the PCC.
4. Make sure that added reactance is "downstream" (closer to the VFD than the source) from the PCC.
DANGER
High voltage is used in the operation of line/load reactors. Use Extreme caution to
avoid contact with high voltage when operating, installing or repairing equipment
containing line/load reactors.
INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT
OBSERVED
DANGER
Even if the upstream disconnect/protection device is open, a drive or inverter
down stream of the line/load reactor may feed back high voltage to the reactor.
The inverter or drive safety instructions must be followed.
INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT
OBSERVED
CAUTION
An upstream disconnect/protection device must be used as required by the
National Electrical Code
CAUTION
The frame of line/load reactors must be grounded at least at one of the reactor’s
mounting holes.
This section is intended for use by personnel experienced in the operation and maintenance of electronic drives, inverters and similar types of power electronic equipment. Because of the high voltages required by the equipment connected to line reactors and the potential dangers presented by rotating machinery, it is essential that all personnel involved in the operation and maintenance of line/load reactors know and practice the necessary safety precautions for this type of equipment. Personnel should read and understand the instructions contained in this section before installing, operating or servicing line/load reactors and the drive to which the reactor is connected

Mounting
NEMA 1 enclosures designed for floor mounting must be mounted with the enclosure base horizontal for proper ventilation. Wall mounting a floor mounted enclosure with the base against the wall will cause the reactor to over heat resulting in equipment damage.
Allow a minimum side, front, and back clearances of 12 inches (305 mm) and vertical clearances of 18 inches (457 mm) for proper heat dissipation and access. Do not locate the enclosure next to resistors or any other component with operating surface temperatures above 260°F (125°C).
Allow a minimum side, front, and back clearances of 12 inches (305 mm) and vertical clearances of 18 inches (457 mm) for proper heat dissipation and access. Do not locate the enclosure next to resistors or any other component with operating surface temperatures above 260°F (125°C).
Select a well ventilated, dust-free area away from direct sunlight, rain or moisture, where the ambient temperature does not exceed 45°C (113°F).
Do not install in or near a corrosive environment. Avoid locations where the reactor will be subjected to excessive vibrations. Where desirable, enclosures may be mounted on vibration isolating pads to reduce audible
noise. Standard vibration control pads made from neoprene or natural rubber and selected for the weight of the enclosed reactor are effective.
Reactor Power Wiring
WARNING
Input and output power wiring to the reactor must be performed
by authorized personnel in accordance with the NEC
and all local electrical codes and regulations.
Verify that the power source to which the reactor is to be connected is in agreement with the nameplate data on the reactor. A fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker should be installed between the reactor and its source of power in accordance with the requirements of the NEC and all local electrical codes and regulations. Refer to the drive, inverter, or other electrical equipment user manual for selection of the correct fuse rating and class.
The reactor is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 65,000 rms symmetrical amperes at 480 volts when protected by Bussman type JJS, KTK, KTK-R, PP or T class fuses.
Reactors are designed for use with copper conductors with a minimum temperature rating of 75°C. Table 10 lists the wire range for the power input and output connections by VFD model.
Refer to
Figure 10 for a typical electrical diagram of a reactor in its proper location, upstream of a VFD.
Where desirable, a flexible conduit connection to the reactor enclosure should be made to reduce audible noise.
28 IOMM VFD-2
Page 29
Failure to connect reactors supplied as a component part of a drive system or
other power electronic system according to the system interconnection diagram
supplied by the System Engineer will result in equipment damage, injury, or
death.
WARNING
If a line reactor or a line reactor and a load reactor are used with a drive equipped
with a bypass circuit, the reactors must be removed from the motor circuit in the
bypass mode. Damage to the motor and other equipment will result if this
warning is not observed.
Figure 10, Line Reactor Wiring
Grounding
A stud is provided in the reactor enclosure for grounding the enclosure. The enclosure must be grounded.
WARNING
The frame of line/load reactors must be grounded at the designated grounding
terminal or one of the reactor mounting holes if no designated grounding terminal
is provided. The enclosure of reactors supplied in enclosures must be grounded.
INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT
OBSERVED.

frequency drive to the MicroTech to indicate the speed of the motor. The actual percent motor speed is within 1% of the analog output signal from the MicroTech controller.
Digital Input, DI 10, is wired to a switch on the compressor that indicates when the vanes are 100% open (VO switch). If the switch is open, the status of the vanes is Not Open. If the switch is closed, the status of the vanes is Open.
The MicroTech 200 unit controller has control wiring to the variable frequency drive instead of to a motor starter. The MicroTech controller provides the speed setpoint signal to a hardwired input on the VFD. The output on the MicroTech AOX (auxiliary output) board is configured (using jumpers) to provide a 0­10 VDC signal to a hard wired analog input on the VFD.
There is no feedback signal required from the variable
VFD Chiller Control States
There are seven VFD chiller control states viewable as shown below. They are based on the unit status. See Table 12 on page 45 for relationships.

VFD Off VFD Start VFD Running: Adjust Speed & Open Vanes VFD Running: Hold Minimum Speed & Adjust Vanes VFD Routine Shutdo wn VFD Locked Speed VFD Override Capacity Control
VFD Off: The VFD is turned off, the speed output is 0%, and the vanes are closed. VFD Start: The VFD is turned on, the speed output is minimum speed, and the vanes are
modulated to maintain the leaving evaporator setpoint. (VFD running, hold minimum speed, and adjust vanes mode.)
VFD Running Adjust Speed & Open Vanes: The VFD remains on, the speed output is modulated to maintain the leaving evaporator setpoint, and the vanes are pulsed to the open position. This mode drives the vanes open and uses the speed to control capacity based on the evaporator leaving water setpoint.
IOMM VFD-2 41
Page 42
VFD Running Hold Minimum Speed & Adjust Vanes: The VFD remains on, the speed output is held at Minimum Speed, and the vanes are modulated to maintain the evaporator leaving water setpoint. This mode occurs when the load (tons) can be satisfied with the vanes not fully open while at minimum speed. Decreasing speed can no longer reduce capacity, so the vanes maintain temperature control. When the load increases, the vanes will pulse open until the vane open switch shows that the vanes are full open. At this point, the MicroTech controller changes the mode to VFD Running: Adjust Speed and Open Va nes.
VFD Routine Shutdown: The VFD remains on, the speed output remains the same, dependent on the prior state, and the vanes are driven closed.
VFD Locked Speed: The MicroTech has a VFD LOCKED Speed Setpoint that can be selected either “ON” or “OFF” from the MicroTech controller keypad. When the VFD Locked Speed mode is set to ON, the VFD speed will be locked at the locked speed setpoint (keypad adjustable). The purpose of this mode is to allow proper setup (calibration, testing, etc.) of the chiller at a constant speed with constant conditions.
NOTE: Do not set the drive minimum speed above the factory setpoint to limit
reduced speed. A control incompatibility will result between the MicroTech controller and the drive.
Override Capacity Control: Any capacity override (see Capacity Overrides on page 48) that forces the VFD out of normal speed control. To return to normal speed control, the capacity override condition is corrected.
First level capacity overrides hold speed and vane position while waiting for the condition to correct.
If the override condition becomes critical (second level capacity override), speed and vane position will be modulated in an attempt to correct the critical condition.
Control Sequence, MicroTech 200
VFD Off: The VFD is turned off, the speed output is 0%, and the vanes are closed. If the
chiller is turned on and if there is a load, the chiller will go through its start sequence; and when the unit status reaches Motor Control Relay (MCR) Started, the VFD status (MicroTech II controller Menu 1 Screen 2) will switch to “VFD Start”.
VFD Start: The VFD is turned on, the speed output is minimum speed, and the vanes are
modulated to maintain the chilled water setpoint (Active Setpoint on keypad/display). At the same time, the minimum speed will continually be re-calculated based on the lift temperature.
In the start mode, capacity control is “Hold Minimum Speed & Adjust Vanes” to satisfy the Active Setpoint (leaving chilled water temperature). When the vanes have been pulsed to the full open position, the Vane Open (V.O) switch closes, the VFD mode changes to “VFD Running” adjust speed, open vanes”.
VFD Running Adjust Speed & Open Vanes: The VFD remains on, the speed
output is modulated to maintain the Active Setpoint, and the vanes are driven to the open position. As the load decreases; if the Speed equals the lift temperature control speed, and the Leaving Evaporator Water Temperature (LEWT) is less than the active setpoint minus one-half the control band, the mode switches to “VFD Running: Hold Minimum Speed & Adjust Vanes”. Otherwise, the controller stays in this mode.
If any capacity override exists, the VFD mode changes to the ”Override Capacity Control” mode (see Capacity Overrides on page 48).
42 IOMM VFD-2
Page 43
VFD Running Hold Minimum Speed & Adjust Vanes: The VFD remains on,
the command speed is held at Minimum Speed, and the vanes are modulated to maintain the Active Setpoint. As the load increases; if the vane open switch closes, and the LEWT is greater than the active setpoint plus ½ the control band, the mode switches to “VFD Running Adjust Speed & Open Vanes”. Otherwise, the controller stays in this mode with the speed at Minimum Speed and the vanes being controlled to satisfy the Active Setpoint. If any capacity override exists, the VFD mode changes to the “Override Capacity Control” mode.
VFD Routine Shutdown: The VFD remains on, the speed output remains constant,
and the vanes are driven closed. This state is used during a routine shutdown of the chiller. If there is a rapid shutdown cause by a fault alarm, the state switches to “VFD Off”.
Rapid Shutdown: If there is a fault alarm, the mode immediately switches to VFD
OFF. ”Rapid Shutdown” also occurs by changing the front panel “Stop/Auto” switch on the MicroTech to “Stop”.
WDC/WCC, Dual Compressor VFD Operation
The MicroTech 200 controller has the capability to control a dual compressor VFD chiller or two stand-alone VFD chillers with interconnecting network communications, including all lead/lag load balance functions.
The lead compressor starts and runs the same as a single VFD compressor, controlling speed and vane position based on Leaving Evaporator Water Temperature (LEWT). When the capacity of the lead compressor reaches an equivalent user defined speed, LEWT offset, and pull down rate, it indicates to the master control panel that it is time to enable the lag (second) compressor to satisfy additional cooling requirements.
When the master control panel sees the enable lag indication, it checks the LEWT and if it is greater than the active setpoint plus the lag Start UP (S/U) Delta T, it will start the lag delay timer (keypad adjustable). At this time, the MicroTech control will record the evaporator chilled water Delta T for reference to determine lag compressor shutdown.
NOTE: Operation assumes constant chilled water flow for dual compressor, VFD
units.
The MicroTech is constantly looking at the recorded startup evaporator Delta T, the user adjustable offset from the delta T, and the active setpoint. As the load decreases, and the evaporator Delta T drops below the recorded Startup Delta T minus the user adjustable offset, and the LEWT is below the active setpoint minus the control band plus user defined offset, the user adjustable lag compressor shutdown timer (same time as the lag start timer) is activated. When the timer times out, and the above conditions still exist, the lag compressor will be shut down.
MicroTech 200 Controller VFD Menu Screens
The MicroTech controller screens are modified from standard when VFD software is loaded into the microprocessor in the factory. VFDs require special software as described in this section. The screens are grouped by “menus” that are further broken down to screen numbers. Fields noted with an (*) are only active when a VFD is used. Arrows indicate that addition related screens are located above or below.

The following explains certain control functions and setpoints of interest.
NOTE: Stp = Setpoint
1. Max Amp Limit
If the motor current is greater than 100% RLA, Hold Command Speed, pulse vanes closed for two seconds once every two minutes.
If the motor current is greater than 105% RLA, If Command Speed is 10% greater than Minimum Speed, reduce Command Speed by 5%. If Command Speed is within 10% of Minimum Speed, reduce Command Speed by 2%. Close the vanes by one two-second pulse. Wait 15 seconds to see the if motor current corrects before repeating the process.
2. Manual Loading
Manual Load setpoint is adjustable from the keypad display. If Manual Loading is Enabled. Pulse vanes open OR closed to drive the motor current %RLA to the Manual Load
Setpoint.
3. Minimum Amp Limit
Minimum Amp setpoint is adjustable from the keypad display. Range 5% to 100% in 1% increments. Default value is 10%. If the motor current %RLA is less than Minimum Amp Setpoint, hold vane position and
command speed. If the motor current %RLA is 5% below the Minimum Amp Setpoint, open vanes and
hold command speed.
4. Manual Amp Limit
User defined capacity limit adjustable from the keypad display from 0% to 100%. If the motor current %RLA exceeds the Network setpoint, hold Command Speed and
vane position. If the motor current %RLA is 5% greater than the Network setpoint, reduce command
speed by 1% every five seconds. If the command speed should be reduced to minimum speed, close the vanes.
5. Network Capacity Limit
Network provided capacity limit setpoint. The setpoint is limited in the software from 0% to 100%.
If the motor current %RLA exceeds the Network setpoint, hold Command Speed and vane position.
If the motor current %RLA is 5% greater than the Network setpoint, reduce command speed by 1% every five seconds. When the command speed is reduced to minimum speed, close the vanes.
6. Max Pulldown Rate
Max Pull Down Rate setpoint is an adjustable setpoint (range 0.1 to 5.0°F/minute in 0.1°F increments, default is 1.0°F/minute) Pulldown rate = leaving evap. water temp one minute ago, minus leaving evap. water
temp now. If the Pulldown rate exceeds the setpoint, hold command speed and vane position.
48 IOMM VFD-2
Page 49
7. Demand Limit
Establishes a demand limit between 10 and 100% RLA based on a 4-20 mA signal input.
If the motor current %RLA is greater than the demand limit, hold command speed and vane position.
If the motor current %RLA is 5% greater than the demand limit, reduce command speed by 1% every five seconds. If the command speed is reduced to Minimum Speed, close the vanes.
8. Softloading
Establishes a soft load capacity limit between 10 and 100% RLA based on time from the first start of the day.
If the motor current %RLA is greater than the soft load capacity, limit hold command speed and vane position.
If the motor current %RLA is 5% greater than the soft load capacity, limit reduce command speed by 1% every five seconds. If Command Speed is reduced to Minimum Speed, close the vanes.
9. Low Evap. Pressure
If the evaporator refrigerant pressure is less than 38.0 psi (default), hold speed and vane position.
If the evaporator refrigerant pressure is less than 31.0 psi (default), hold speed and close vanes.
Low evaporator pressure shutdown alarm setpoint is 26.0 psi (default).
Note: The above pressures must be set at unit design conditions.
10. High Discharge Temperature
If the discharge temperature is higher than 170º F, pulse the load solenoid if the vanes are not fully open.

when the vanes are 100% open. If the switch is open, the status of the vanes is Not Open. If the switch is closed, the status of the vanes is Open.
The following describes the software for centrifugal chillers with variable speed drive and the MicroTech II controller. Complete information on the MicroTech II controller operation is contained in the Operating Manual OM CentrifMicro II.
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Control:
Digital output NO1, (terminal J12) on the compressor controller is wired to the CR relay (Compressor Relay). The CR relay energizes the MCR (Motor Control Relay) which enables the variable frequency drive instead of a standard motor. Analog output Y1 (terminal J4) on the compressor
controller provides the speed setpoint signal to the VFD. The output is a 0-10 VDC analog output signal, hard wired to the VFD.
There is no feedback signal required from the variable frequency drive to the MicroTech II controller to indicate the speed of the motor. The actual percent motor speed is within 1% of the analog output signal from the MicroTech II controller.
Digital Input ID9 (terminal J7) on the compressor controller is wired to the Vane Open switch (VO switch) that indicates
Or
If the compressor controller pulses a load output for the vanes to load for a cumulative time of 300 seconds (user adjustable), the MicroTech II controller will assume the compressor is fully loaded the same as if the V.O. switch closed (one unload pulse will reset the timer).
Sequence of Operation
Compressor Off:
The VFD is turned off, the speed output is 0%, and the vanes are closed. If the chiller is turned on and if there is a load, the chiller will go through its start sequence. The MCR will be energized, the speed signal will be set to minimum speed, and the VFD will start the compressor. When the compressor starts, it will be in the VFD Running, hold speed, adjust vanes mode.
50 IOMM VFD-2
Page 51
VFD Running, Hold Minimum Speed, Adjust Vanes:
The VFD remains on, the command speed is held at Minimum Speed, and the vanes are modulated to maintain the Active LEWT Setpoint. As the load increases; if the vane open switch closes or the MicroTech II controller pulses the vanes open for a cumulative 300 seconds (default), and the LEWT is greater than the active setpoint, the mode switches to “VFD Running Adjust Speed, Open Vanes”. Otherwise, the controller stays in this mode with the speed at Minimum Speed and the vanes being controlled to satisfy the Active LEWT Setpoint.
VFD Running, Adjust Speed, Open Vanes:
The VFD remains on, the speed output is modulated to maintain the Active LEWT Setpoint, and the vanes are driven to the open position. As the load decreases, if the speed equals the lift temperature control speed and the LEWT is less than the active LEWT setpoint, the mode switches to “VFD Running, Hold Minimum Speed, Adjust Vanes”. Otherwise, the controller stays in this mode.
Compressor Shutdown:
The VFD remains on, the speed output remains constant, and the vanes are driven closed (shutdown unload state). This state is used during a routine shutdown of the chiller. If there is a rapid shutdown caused by a fault alarm, the MCR will be immediately de­energized, the speed signal will go to zero, and the compressor state will go directly to Postlube.
WDC, Dual Compressor VFD Operation
The MicroTech II controller has the capability to control a dual compressor VFD chiller or multiple stand alone VFD chillers with interconnecting network communications, including all compressor staging and load balance functions. (See OMCentrifMicro II for set up of multiple compressor staging).
General Dual Compressor VFD Operation
The first compressor starts and runs as a single VFD compressor controlling speed and vane position based on LEWT (L the first compressor reaches “Full Load” and LEWT is greater than stage delta, and the slope (pull down rate) is less than the user adjustable minimum rate setpoint, the next compressor will be enabled.
eaving Evaporator Water Temperature). When the capacity of
Dual Compressor Unit Stage Down
When “Compressor Capacity” exceeds calculated system load (internal algorithm), the “next off” compressor will be disabled. When the “next off” compressor is disabled, the controller will unload the compressor by closing the vanes (shutdown unload) to unload the compressor. The load balance function will make the other compressor follow. When the shutdown unload timer expires, or the vane close switch closes (which ever occurs first), the MCR will de-energized, and the controller will transition to the post lube sequence. At the end of the post lube timer, the oil pump will be turned off and the controller will transition to the off sequence.

controlled for testing, or to be automatic for normal operation. The MicroTech II controller will not allow the speed signal to go below the calculated lift control speed.
VFD Speed Manual Setpoint = 100%,
when the unit is started for the first time, and set up for design, or to check the operation and performance of the unit, it is necessary to run the unit at a constant fixed speed of 100%. To accomplish this, set the VFD Minimum Speed to 100% [UC-SU-(10) or OITS-S-Motor-(10)], then set up and adjust the unit. When testing is complete, set the minimum speed back to the original setpoint. Do not set the drive minimum speed to 100% to set up or test the unit at full speed, as the controller will not know that the drive will not respond to it’s speed signal. The controller will try to control the LEWT setpoint with speed and a control conflict will result.

The drive indicates alarm conditions in the following ways:
These alarms alert the operator of conditions that, if left untreated, may lead to a fault condition. The drive continues to operate during the alarm condition. The alarms are enabled or disabled using Alarm Config 1 (259). The status of these alarms is shown in Drive Alarm 1 (211). These alarms alert the operator of conditions caused by improper programming and prevent the drive from starting until the problem is resolved. These alarms are always enabled. The status of these alarms is shown in Drive Alarm 2 (212).

Alarm status parameters. Two 16-bit parameters, Drive Alarm 1 (211) and Drive Alarm 2 (212), indicate the status of type 1 and type 2 alarms, respectively.
No external signal is available for alarms.
About the Alarm Queue
The drive automatically retains a history of alarms that have occurred in the alarm queue. The alarm queue is accessed using the OIM or PC software.
The alarm queue holds the eight most recent alarms. The last alarm to occur is indicated in queue entry #1. As new alarms are logged into the queue, existing alarm entries are shifted (for example, entry #1 will move to entry #2). Once the queue is full, older alarms are discarded from the queue as new alarms occur.
All entries in the alarm queue are retained if power is lost. Alarms are automatically cleared when the alarm condition goes away.
The alarm queue can be cleared using the OIM by selecting “Clr Alarm Queue”, or by using a PC software tool.

About Faults
Faults indicate conditions within the drive that require immediate attention. The drive responds to a fault by initiating a coast-to-stop sequence and turning off power to the motor.
A flashing red LED indicates a fault has occurred and a fault signal will appear in the chiller touchscreen. A steady red LED indicates that it is non-resettable.

This type of fault normally requires drive or motor repair. The cause of
the fault must be corrected before the fault can be cleared. The fault will
be reset on power up after repair.
These faults can be enabled/disabled to either annunciate or ignore a

About the Fault Queue
The drive automatically retains a history of faults that have occurred in the fault queue. The fault queue is accessed using the OIM or VS Utilities software.
The fault queue holds the eight most recent faults. The last fault to occur is indicated in queue entry #1. As new faults are logged into the queue, existing fault entries are shifted (for example, entry #1 will move to entry #2). Once the queue is full, older faults are discarded from the queue as new faults occur.
All entries in the fault queue are retained if power is lost. The Time Stamp For each entry in the fault queue, the system also displays a fault code and time stamp
value. The time stamp value is the value of an internal drive-under-power timer at the time of the fault. The value of this timer is copied to PowerUp Marker (242) when the drive powers up. The fault queue time stamp can then be compared to the value in PowerUp Marker to determine when the fault occurred relative to the last drive power up.
The time stamp is cleared when the fault queue is cleared.

Clearing Faults
A fault condition can be cleared by the following: Step 1. Press the ESC/Prog key or any F-Key to acknowledge the fault and remove the

Step 2. Address the condition that caused the fault. The cause must be corrected before the
fault can be cleared.
Step 3. After corrective action has been taken, clear the fault using one of the following:
Setting Fault Clear (240) to Clear Faults (1).
Press F1 (Cflt) from the fault queue screen.
Issuing a Stop-Clear Faults command from the control source.
Resetting faults will clear the faulted status indication. If any fault condition still exists, the fault will be latched, and another entry made in the fault queue.
Note that performing a fault reset does not clear the fault queue. Clearing the fault queue is a separate action. See the Fault Clear (240) parameter description.

Troubleshooting the Drive w/ the LCD OIM
The LCD OIM provides immediate visual notification of alarm or fault conditions as well as the following diagnostic information:
Entries in the fault queue
Fault parameters
Drive status parameters
Selected device version and status information
OIM version information
Accessing the Fault Queue
The drive automatically retains a history of the last eight faults that have occurred in the fault queue.
To access the fault queue, press the F4 key at the process display screen, or see Figure 35 to access the fault queue from the Main Menu.
IOMM VFD-2 75
Page 76
Figure 35, Accessing the Fault Queue
Figure 36, Sample Fault Queue Entry
The drive can be reset (as if the power were cycled) by pressing the F3 (Dres) function key while in the "View Fault Queue" screens. The reset function is active only while the drive is stopped. During a reset, drive communication with peripheral devices will stop until the reset function completes.
CAUTION:
Pressing F3 (Dres) will immediately cause the drive to be reset. This may result
in communication errors in other devices attached to the drive which could
result in machine damage.

The status of the drive can be viewed on the Human Interface Module (HIM) or on various LEDs.
Using the Interface
Figure 37, Human Interface Module (HIM)
The interface module can be removed to provide security against tampering with the control. To do so, first press the ALT key, release it and then press the left arrow (REMOVE) key, This procedure allows the module to be removed without causing a fault. Then press the tab on top of the module and slide the module upwards and out.
One function of the module is to program the various parameters that control the VFD/chiller operation. Programming is to be done only by service technicians who are factory trained and authorized to work on VFDs.
The module is used by the operator to troubleshoot the drive by viewing faults, and to clear faults after corrective action has been taken, as explained later in this section.

Faults and Alarms
A fault is a condition that stops the drive. There are three fault types:

An alarm is a condition that, if left untreated, may stop the drive. There are two alarm types:
greater than “0,” a user-configurable timer, [Auto Rstrt Delay] begins. When the timer reaches zero, the drive attempts to automatically reset the fault. If the condition that caused the fault is no longer present, the fault will be reset and the drive will be restarted. This type of fault normally requires drive or motor repair. The cause of the fault must be corrected before the fault can be cleared. The fault will be reset on power up after repair These faults can be enabled/disabled to annunciate or ignore a fault condition.

These alarms can be enabled or disabled through [Alarm Config 1]. It is recommended that factory setting not be changed.
These alarms are always enabled.
Drive Status
The condition or state of the drive is constantly monitored. Any changes will be indicated through the LEDs and/or the Human Interface module (HIM).
Clearing Alarms
Alarms clear automatically when the condition that caused the alarm is no longer present.

Operation, LF
The status of the drive can be viewed on the Operator Interface Module (OIM) or on various LEDs.
Using the Interface
Figure 41, Keypad/Display
The front-panel keypad/display is used to monitor the drive. The functions available at the keypad depend on what mode the keypad/display is in and what is selected as the drive control source. It operates in two modes:
1. Monitor Mode (the default mode), used to monitor specific drive outputs as well as enter the speed or frequency reference for the drive.
2. Program Mode, used to view and adjust drive parameter values, and examine the error log.
Regardless of the control source selection, the keypad/display can be used to stop the drive and reset drive faults.
See Table 46 for a description of the Drive status LEDs.
Note: The STOP/RESET key can be disabled by parameter R055. This must be done so that only the chiller MicroTech II controller can stop or start the drive/compressor.
Monitor Mode
Monitor mode is the keypad/display’s default mode during drive operation, or it is entered by pressing the PROGRAM key until the PROGRAM LED turns off. The following output data can be displayed in monitor mode:

To select a value to monitor, press the ENTER key until the LED turns on next to the desired display item. Pressing the ENTER key advances you through each of the displays.
Note: All of the LEDs turn on to indicate the selected reference display.
Figure 42, Example of a Monitor Mode Displ ay
Displaying the Selected Reference
In monitor mode, you can display the speed reference (speed and frequency), or the torque reference the drive is using while it is running, (RUNNING LED is on, JOG LED is off). Follow these steps to display the selected reference:
Step 1 If you are not already in monitor mode, access it by pressing the PROGRAM key
until the PROGRAM LED turns off.
Step 2 Press the ENTER key repeatedly to advance through each of the monitor mode
LEDs. All of the monitor mode LEDs will then turn on at once and the reference will be displayed. Note that the displayed speed reference value is scaled based on P.028. The torque reference value is displayed in percent.
If the selected reference is negative, and its value is greater than 999, the SPEED LED will flash.
The Display
The display portion of the keypad/display is a four-character, seven-segment LED. At drive power-up, SELF is displayed as the drive performs power-up self diagnostics. During drive operation, the display indicates parameter numbers, parameter values, fault or alarm codes, and drive output values.
Display Range
Normally, a minus (-) sign is used as one of the four characters in the display to indicate a negative value. If a value (including the minus sign) exceeds four characters, the display will drop the minus sign and display four digits. In this case, the SPEED LED will flash to indicate that the displayed value is a negative number. Refer to the examples in the following table.
A decimal point to the right of the last digit in the display indicates there is further resolution (examples A and E below), unless a decimal point already appears as part of the number displayed (example G below). In either case, the system uses the full resolution of the number for drive control, not the displayed value.

Troubleshooting
DANGER
DC bus capacitors retain hazardous voltages after input power has been
disconnected. After disconnecting input power, wait five (5) minutes for the DC
bus capacitors to discharge and then check the voltage with a voltmeter to ensure
the DC bus capacitors are discharged before touching any internal components.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or death.
The drive can display two kinds of error codes; alarms and faults, to signal a problem detected during self-tuning or drive operation. Fault and alarm codes are shown in Table 48 and Table 49. A special type of fault code, which occurs rarely, is the fatal fault code.
Alarm Codes
An alarm condition is signified by a two- or three-letter code flashing on the display. The drive will continue to operate during the alarm condition. The cause of the alarm should be investigated to check that it does not lead to a fault condition. The alarm code remains on the display as long as the alarm condition exists and clears when the condition causing it is corrected.
Fault Codes
A fault condition is also signified by a two- or three-letter code flashing on the display. If a fault occurs, the drive coasts to stop and the RUNNING LED turns off. The first fault detected is maintained flashing on the display, regardless of whether other faults occur after it. The fault code remains on the display until it is cleared by the operator using the STOP/RESET key or using the fault reset input from the selected control source.
Error Log
The drive automatically stores all fault codes for faults that have occurred in the system error log. The error log is accessible through the keypad or the OIM. There is no visual indication that there are faults in the log. You must access the error log to view the faults.
The error log holds the 10 most recent faults that have occurred. The last fault to occur is the first one to appear on the display when you access the error log. The faults in the log are numbered sequentially. The most recent fault is identified with the highest number (up to 9). Once the log is full, older faults are discarded from the log as new faults occur.
For each entry in the error log, the system also displays the day and time that the fault occurred. The day data is based on a relative 247-day counter (rolls over after 247.55). Scrolling through the error screens will give the day, for example, 117, which would be 117 days from the 0 day.
The time is based on a 24-hour clock. The first digits of the clock data represent hours. The last two digits represent minutes. For example, 10:17 PM would be 22.17. The clock can be reset using R030 (Elapsed Time Meter Reset).
See page 46 for details on adjusting the time stamp. All entries in the error log and the day and time data are retained if power is lost.

Identifying Alarm Codes and Corrections
VFD drive alarm codes are shown in Table 48. Note that the alarm code will only be displayed for as long as the problem exists. Once the problem has been corrected, the alarm code will disappear from the display.

DANGER
DC bus capacitors retain hazardous voltages after input power has been
disconnected. After disconnecting input power, wait five minutes for the DC bus
capacitors to discharge and then check the voltage with a voltmeter to ensure the
DC bus capacitors are discharged before touching any internal components.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or death.
VFD drive fault codes are shown in Table 49. To clear a single fault that has occurred so that the drive can be started again, correct any problems indicated by the fault code and press the STOP/RESET key on the keypad, or assert the fault reset from the selected control source (P000). Because multiple faults can occur and only the first will be displayed, you must access the error log repeatedly in order to view all of the faults that have occurred and correct them.

Accessing, Reading, and Clearing the Faults in the Error Log
The following procedure shows how to access and clear the error log. Note that you cannot clear a single entry from the error log. The entire log, including all of the fault codes, and the day and time stamp of each fault, will be cleared simultaneously using this procedure.
Step 1. Press the PROGRAM key.
The First Menu General parameters are displayed. The PROGRAM LED will turn on.
Step 2. Press the key until Err is displayed.
Step 3. Press the ENTER key.
If no faults have occurred, Err will be displayed again. If only one fault has occurred, the fault code will be displayed as the first entry in the log. If more than one fault has occurred, the first entry is the latest fault that occurred.
