Safety and operating instructions for drive power converters
(as per: Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC )
1. General
During operation, drive power converters may, depending on their
protection class, have live, bare, moving or rotating parts or hot
surfaces.
Unauthorised removal of covers, improper use, incorrect installation
or operation causes a risk of serious personal injury or material
damage.
Further information can be found in this documentation.
All transportation, installation, initialisation and maintenance work
must be carried out by qualified personnel (compliant with IEC
364, CENELEC HD 384, DIN VDE 0100, IEC 664 or DIN VDE 0110,
and national accident prevention regulations).
For the purposes of these basic safety instructions, qualified
personnel are persons who are familiar with the assembly,
installation, commissioning and operation of this product and who
have the relevant qualifications for their work.
2. Proper use in Europe
Drive power converters are components intended for installation in
electrical systems or machines.
When installed in machines, the drive power converter cannot be
commissioned (i.e. commencement of the proper use) until it has
been ensured that the machine meets the provisions of the EC
Directive 2006/42/EEC (machine directive); EN 60204 must also be
complied with.
Commissioning (i.e. implementation of the proper use) is only
permitted when the EMC directive (2004/108/EEC) is complied with.
CE-labelled drive power converters meet the requirements of the
Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC. The harmonised standards for
drive power converters listed in the declaration of conformity are
used.
Technical data and information for connection conditions can be
found on the rating plate and in the documentation, and must be
complied with.
The drive power converters may only be used for safety functions
which are described and explicitly approved.
3. Transport, storage
Information regarding transport, storage and correct handling must
be complied with.
4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the equipment must be implemented
according to the regulations in the corresponding documentation.
The drive power converter must be protected against
impermissible loads. Especially during transport and
handling, components must not be deformed and/or
insulation distances must not be changed. Touching of
electronic components and contacts must be avoided.
Drive power converters have electrostatically sensitive
components, which can be easily damaged by incorrect
handling. Electrical components must not be mechanically
damaged or destroyed (this may cause a health hazard!).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive power converters, the applicable
national accident prevention regulations must be complied
with (e.g. VBG A3, formerly VBG 4).
The electrical installation must be implemented according to
the applicable regulations (e.g. cable cross-section, fuses,
ground lead connections). Further instructions can be found
in the documentation.
Information about EMC-compliant installation – such as
shielding, earthing, location of filters and installation of
cables can be found in the drive power converter
documentation. These instructions must be complied with
even with CE marked drive power converters. Compliance
with the limiting values specified in the EMC regulations is
the responsibility of the manufacturer of the system or
machine.
6. Operation
Where necessary, systems where drive power converters
are installed must be equipped with additional monitoring
and protective equipment according to the applicable safety
requirements, e.g. legislation concerning technical
equipment, accident prevention regulations, etc.
The parameterisation and configuration of the drive power
converter must be selected so that no hazards can occur.
All covers must be kept closed during operation.
7. Maintenance and repairs
After the drive power converter is disconnected from the
power supply, live equipment components and power
connections should not be touched immediately, because of
possible charged capacitors. Observe the applicable
information signs located on the drive power converter.
Further information can be found in this documentation.
These safety instructions must be kept in a safe place!

These brief instructions for the SK 200E are based on the user manual for the frequency inverter - BU0200.
In addition to information concerning safety and use, this document also contains selected information on
commissioning, as well as use of the frequency inverter in explosion hazard areas (ATEX Zone 22).
This manual is based on the device software V1.2 R0 (see P707) of the SK 200E. If the frequency inverter
uses a different software version, this may cause differences.
A detailed description of the SK 200E and its options can be found in the user manual (BU0200). This and
other documents can be downloaded free of charge from
www.nord.com.

1.2 Safety and installation information
NORDAC SK 200E frequency inverters are devices for use in industrial high voltage systems and are
operated at voltages that could lead to severe injuries or death if they are touched.
• Installation and other work may only be carried out by qualified electricians and with the
device disconnected. The operating instructions must always be available to these
persons and must be strictly observed.
• Local regulations for the installation of electrical equipment and accident prevention
must be complied with.
• The equipment continues to carry hazardous voltages for up to 5 minutes
switched off at the mains.
• For single phase operation (115/230V) the mains impedance must be at least 100μH for
each conductor. If this is not the case, a mains choke must be installed.
• For safe isolation from the mains, all poles of the supply cable to the frequency inverter
must be able to be disconnected.
• Even during motor standstill (e.g. caused by a release block, blocked drive or output
terminal short circuit), the line connection terminals, motor terminals and braking resistor
terminals may still conduct hazardous voltages
. A motor standstill is not identical to
electrical isolation from the mains.
•Warning: with certain settings, the frequency inverter/motor can start up automatically
after the mains are switched on.
• The frequency inverter is only intended for permanent connection and may not be
operated without effective earthing connections which comply with the local regulations
for large leakage currents (> 3.5mA). VDE 0160 stipulates the installation of a second
earthing conductor or an earthing conductor cross-section of at least 10 mm
• Normal FI-circuit breakers are not suitable as the sole protection for three-phase
frequency inverters if the local regulations do not permit a possible DC proportion in the
fault current. According to EN 50178 / VDE 0160, the FI circuit breaker must be an allcurrent sensitive FI circuit breaker (type B).
• In normal use, NORDAC SK 200E frequency inverters are maintenance free. The
cooling surfaces must be regularly cleaned with compressed air if the ambient air is
dusty.

CAUTION
WARNING
Children and the general public must be kept away from the equipment!
The equipment may only be used for the purpose intended by the manufacturer.
Unauthorised modifications and the use of spare parts and additional equipment which has
not been purchased from or recommended by the manufacturer of the device may cause fire,
electric shock and injury.
Keep these operating instructions in an accessible location and give them to all operators!
This product intended for use in an industrial environment and is subject to sales restrictions
according to IEC 61800-3. In a domestic environment, this product can cause high frequency
interference, in which case the user may be required to take appropriate measures.
An appropriate measure would be the inclusion of a recommended mains filter.

1.3 Wiring guidelines
The frequency inverter has been developed for use in an industrial environment. In this environment, high
levels of electromagnetic interference can influence the frequency inverter. In general, correct installation
ensures safe and problem-free operation. To meet the limiting values of the EMC directives, the following
instructions should be complied with.
(1) Ensure that all equipment in the control cabinet is securely earthed using short earthing cables which
have large cross-sections and are connected to a common earthing point or earthing bar. It is
especially important that all control devices connected to the frequency inverters (e.g. an automation
device) are connected to the same earthing point as the inverter itself, using a short cable with large
cross-section. Flat conductors (e.g. metal clamps) are preferable, as they have a lower impedance at
high frequencies.
(2) The bonding cable of the motor controlled by the frequency inverter should be connected directly to the
earthing terminal of the associated frequency inverter. The presence of a central earthing bar in the
control cabinet and the grouping together of all bonding conductors to this bar normally ensures safe
operation.
(3) Where possible, shielded cables should be used for control loops. The shielding at the cable end
should be carefully sealed and it must be ensured that the wires are not laid over longer distances
without shielding.
The shields of analog setpoint cables should only be earthed on one side on the frequency inverter.
(4) The control cables should be installed as far as possible from power cables, using separate cable
ducts, etc. Where cables cross, an angle of 90° should be ensured as far as possible.
(5) Ensure that the contactors and brake chokes in the cabinet are interference protected, either by RC
circuits in the case of AC contactors, or by “free-wheeling” diodes for DC contactors, for which the interference protectors must be positioned on the contactor coils. Varistors for over-voltage
limitation are also effective. This interference suppression is particularly important when the contactors
are controlled by the relay in the frequency inverter.
(6) Use screened or armoured cable for the load connections (motor cable) and earth the
screening/armour at both ends, if possible to the frequency inverter bonding.
In addition, an EMC-compliant cabling must be ensured.
The safety regulations must be complied with under all circumstances when installing the
frequency inverter!
1 General
NOTE
The control cables, line cables and motor cables must be laid separately. In no case should
they be laid in the same protective pipes/installation ducts.
The test for high voltage insulations must not be used on cables which are connected to the
frequency inverter.
ATTENTION
With the use of a ParameterBox SK PAR-3H this must never be simultaneously connected to
the frequency inverter and the PC, as potential shifts may cause damage, especially to the
PC. (See also Manual BU0040)

2 Assembly and installation
2.1 Installation and assembly
NORDAC SK 200E frequency inverters are available in various sizes depending on their output. Connection
of the SK 200E to the motor or the wall-mounting unit is made by means of the a suitable size of connection
unit SK T14-… The frequency inverter is mounted by means of integrated plug contacts.
The devices require adequate ventilation to protect against overheating.
Motor-mounted version
Mounting must therefore always be carried out as shown in the illustration. For permanently low motor
speeds and self-ventilated motors, a reduction in power similar to the wall-mounted version must be taken
into account.
: Here, the ventilation of the motor is integrated into the cooling concept of the FI.
Wall-mounted version
: In continuous operation (S1), mounting away from the motor causes a reduction in
the power of the FI by one power level. This means that relative to the motor, the FU must be selected one
power level larger.
NOTE
For further details of the power reduction and the possible ambient temperatures, please
refer to the technical data in BU0200

2 Assembly and installation
Mounting the adapter unit
For the supply of a complete drive unit (gear unit + motor + frequency inverter) the SK 200E frequency
inverter and the SK T14-... adapter unit are always completely assembled and tested. The adapter unit can
also be ordered separately for subsequent mounting on an existing motor or to replace a different motormounted frequency inverter.
NOTE
However, the IP66 compliant SK 200E must be installed by NORD, as special measures must
be implemented. IP66 components retrofitted on site cannot ensure that this protection class is
guaranteed.
The “Adapter unit SK T14” includes the following components:
• Cast housing, seal (already glued in) and insulation plate
• Power terminal block, corresponding mains connection
• Control terminal block, corresponding SK 200E version
• Screw kit, for mounting on the motor and the terminal bars
• Pre-fabricated cable for motor and PTC connections
Procedures:
1. If necessary, remove the original terminal box from the NORD motor, so that only the base of the
terminal box and the terminal strip remain.
2. Set the bridges for the correct motor circuit and connect the pre-fabricated cables for motor and PTC
connections to the respective connection points on the motor.
3. Mount the cast housing on the terminal box base using the existing screws and seal. Position the cast
housing with the dome facing the A-side of the motor. Check the adaptability for different motor
manufacturers.
4. Attach the insulating plate above the terminal strip. Screw on the power terminal block above this using
the 2 M4x8 screws and the plastic washers.
5. Connect the motor cables U, V, W to the power terminal block and the PTC cable TF+, TF- to the control
terminal block 38, 39.

3 SK 200E displays and control
By combining different modules for display, control and parameterisation, the NORDAC SK 200E can be
easily adapted to various requirements.
Alphanumeric display and control modules (Illustration below) can be used for simple commissioning. For
more complex tasks, connection to a PC system and the use of Nord Con parameterisation software is
available.
As supplied, without additional options, the diagnostic LEDs are externally visible. These signal the actual
device status. 2 potentiometers and 8 DIP switches are provided in order to set the most important
parameters. In this minimal configuration no other adapted parameters are stored in the plug-in EEPROM.
The only exception is the data concerning operating hours, faults and fault circumstances. This data can be
stored in the EEPROM.
Parameterisation and display options: SK CSX-3H and SK PAR-3H
18 BU 0240 GB
Page 19
4 Commissioning, SK 200E
The SK 200E inverter series can be commissioned in various ways:
a) For simple applications (e.g conveyor applications) by means of the DIP switches integrated into the
SK 200E (inside) and potentiometers (externally accessible).
In this configuration the plug-in EEPROM is not required.
b) Through adaptation of parameters using software via the ParameterBox (SK CSX-3H or SK PAR-
3H) or NordCon PC - supported software.
Here, the parameterised data is stored in the plug-in EEPROM. This must therefore always remain
plugged in during operation.
ATTENTION
DANGER TO LIFE!
The frequency inverter is not equipped with a line main switch and is therefore always live when
connected to the power supply. Live voltages may therefore be connected to a connected motor
at standstill.
NOTE
4 Commissioning
For commissioning standard applications, a limited number of the frequency inverter inputs and
outputs (physical and I/O bits) have predefined functions. These settings may need to be
changed (Parameters (P420), (P434), (P480), (P481)).
4.1 Commissioning stages
4.1.1 Connection
After mounting the frequency inverter Adapter
Unit on the motor or the wall mounting kit, the
mains and motor cables must be connected to
the relevant terminals (PE, L1, N (/L2, L3)
und U, V, W).
In addition, a 24V DC control voltage supply to
the frequency inverter is essential (connection
to terminals 44/40).
In principle, the frequency inverter can be
operated in this configuration.

4.1.2 Configuration
Changes to individual parameters are usually necessary for operation. (Exceptions: see Section 4.1.3 )
Configuration can be carried out to a limited extent via the DIP switches. Configuration by means of
software parameterisation is necessary for more extensive parameter changes.
NOTE
Mixing of DIP switch configuration and (software) parameterisation should be avoided.
4.1.2.1 Parameterisation
The use of a ParameterBox (SK CSX-3H / SK PAR) or NordCon software is necessary to change the
parameters.

4.1.3 Commissioning examples
4.1.3.1 Test operation
A SK 200E series frequency inverter which is to be used to control a 4-pole motor of the same power can be
operated without any aids to testing purposes.
The only condition for this is the correct connection of the mains and motor cables and the supply of a 24V
DC control voltage to the inverter (See Section 4.1.1).
The PTC input must be bypassed, if a motor with PTC is not available.
Configuration
For test operation the DIP switches 1 to 5 of the frequency inverter must be set to the "OFF" position and
the digital input DIN1 (terminal 21) must be hard-wired to the 24V control voltage.
Control
Enabling is carried out as soon as the inverter's own setpoint potentiometer (Potentiometer P1, Section ) is
moved from the 0% position.
The setpoint can be adjusted to the requirements by further continuous adjustment of the potentiometer.
Resetting the setpoint to 0% sets the frequency inverter into "Standby" status.
Stepped adjustment of the ramp times within defined limits is also possible with the aid of potentiometer P2.
NOTE
4.1.3.2 Normal operation
This setting method is not suitable for the implementation of a so-called "automatic start with
mains".
In order to use this function, it is essential that parameter (P428) "Automatic Start" is set to the
function "ON". Adjustment of parameters is possible with the aid of a ParameterBox
(SK xxx-3H) or with the NordCon software (Windows PC and adapter cable required).
Minimal configuration without options
The simplest version of normal operation is implemented by the integration of a switch to enable the
controller instead of the hard wiring of the digital input 1 to 24V.
Parameter (P428) must be changed if an automatic startup with "Mains On" is required.

Minimal configuration with options
In order to implement completely autonomous operation (i.e. independent of control cables etc.) a
Potentiometer Unit (SK CU4-POT) is required. In combination with an integrated mains unit
(SK CU4-…-24V) a solution can be implemented with only one mains cable (1~ / 3~ according to the
version), and a suitable speed and direction control can be ensured (See connection example below).
This configuration method also provides the possibility of setting the frequency inverter to start automatically
with "Mains On", by changing parameter (P428).

4.2 ATEX Zone 22 for SK 2x5E
General information
With appropriate modification, the NORDAC SK 2x5E frequency inverter can be used in explosion hazard
areas. For this it is important that all the safety information in the operating instructions is strictly complied
with for the prevention of personal injury and material damage. This is essential to prevent injury and
damage.
Qualified personnel
Qualified personnel must be used to carry out work involving the transport, assembly, installation,
commissioning and maintenance. Qualified personnel are persons who due to their training, experience and
instruction, and their knowledge of the relevant standards, accident prevention regulations and operating
conditions are authorised to carry out the necessary activities for starting up the frequency inverter. This
also includes knowledge of first aid measures and the local emergency services.
ATTENTION
All work must only be carried out with the power to the system switched off.
If the frequency inverter is connected to a motor and a gear unit, the EX labelling of the motor
and the gear unit must also be observed.
Safety information
The increased danger in areas with inflammable dust demands the strict observation of the general safety
and commissioning information. The drive unit must comply with the specifications in Planning Guideline No. 6052101. Explosive concentrations of dust may cause explosions if ignited by hot or sparking objects.
Such explosions may cause serious or fatal injuries to persons or severe material damage.
It is essential that the person responsible for the use of motors and frequency inverters in explosion hazard
areas is trained in their correct use.
ATTENTION
Before opening the frequency inverter for the connection of electric cables or other work, the
mains voltage must always

4.2.3 Maximum output voltage and torque reduction
As the maximum output voltage depends on the pulse frequency to be set, in some cases the torque which
is stated in Planning Guideline 605 2101 must be reduced for values above the rated pulse frequency of
6 kHz.
For F
Therefore the maximum torque must be reduced by 1% for each kHz pulse frequency above 6kHz. The
torque limitation must be taken into account on reaching the break frequency. The same applies for the
degree of modulation (P218). With the factory setting of 100%, in the field reduction range
reduction of must be taken into account:
For P218 > 100%: T
Above a value of 105%, no reduction needs to be taken into account. However, with values above 105% no
increase in torque above that of the Planning Guideline will be achieved. Under certain circumstances,
degrees of modulation > 100% may lead to oscillations and motor vibration due to increased harmonics.
ATTENTION
At pulse frequencies above 6 kHz (400/500V devices) or 8 kHz (230V) devices, the
reduction in power must be taken into account for the design of the drive unit.
If parameter (P218) is set to < 105%, the derating of the degree of modulation
must be taken into account in the field reduction range.

a different manufacturer is not used, the data for the motor parameters ((P201) to (P208)) must be adjusted
to those on the motor rating plate. In addition, the frequency inverter must be parameterised so that the
motor can be operated with a maximum speed of 3000

permissible output speed of the gear unit must be observed. In addition, the monitoring "I²t-Motor"
(Parameter (P535) / (P533)) must be switched on and the pulse frequency set to between 4 kHz and 6 kHz.

This value relates to a 4-pole motor. On principle,
the value must only be so large that a motor
speed of 3000 rpm is not exceeded.
If a 4-pole NORD motor is used, the preset motor
data can be called up.
If a 4-pole NORD motor is not used, the motor
data on the rating plate must be entered here.
For pulse frequencies above 6kHz a reduction of
the maximum torque is necessary.
A reduction in torque can be taken into account
with values less than 100 in the I²t monitoring.
The I²t- monitoring of the motor must be switched
on. The set values depend on the type of
ventilation and the motor used. See Planning Guideline No.: 605 2101

5 Parameterisation
5 Parameterisation of frequency inverter SK 200E
The frequency inverter, field bus and I/O -extension modules each have their own logic systems. These can
be adapted to customers' requirements by means of changeable parameters. The basic functions of the
particular modules are factory-set, so that the units have basic functionalities on delivery. Limited
adaptations of individual functions of the relevant devices can be implemented via DIP switches. For all
further adjustments, access to the parameters of the relevant device with the aid of a ParameterBox
(SK PAR-3H, SK CSX-3H) or NordCon software is essential. It should be noted that the hardware configuration (DIP switches) has priority over configuration via software (parameterisation).
The following is a list of the most common parameters and functions. A complete list of the parameters and
a detailed description of them can be found in the main document (BU0200).
Every frequency inverter is factory-set for a motor of the same power.

refer to Manual BU 0210.
Display of e.g. actual operating values, old error messages, equipment status
reports or software version.
Some parameters in these groups can be programmed and read in several
levels (arrays). After the parameter is selected, the array level must also be
selected.
NOTE: Parameter P523 can be used to load the factory settings for all parameters at any time. This
can be helpful, e.g. during the commissioning of a frequency inverter whose parameters no
longer correspond with the factory settings.
ATTENTION
All current parameter settings will be overwritten, if P523= 1 is set and confirmed with "OK".
To save the actual parameter settings, these can be transferred to the ParameterBox memory.

The minimum frequency is the
frequency supplied by the FI as soon as
it is enabled and no additional setpoint
is set.
Is the frequency provided by the FI after
it has been enabled and the maximum
setpoint value is available.
If a 4-pole NORD motor is used, the
preset motor data can be called up.
If a 4-pole NORD motor is not used, the
motor data on the rating plate must be

The frequency inverter generates operating status messages. These messages (warnings, errors, switching
statuses, measurement data) can be displayed with parameterisation tools (e.g. ParameterBox) (Parameter
group P7xx).
To a limited extent, the messages are also indicated via the diagnostic and status LEDs.
Error messages
Errors cause the frequency inverters to switch off, in order to prevent a device fault.
The following options are available to reset a fault (acknowledge):
1. Switching the mains off and on again,
2. By an appropriately programmed digital input (P420 = Function 12),
3. By switching of the “enable” on the frequency inverter to Low (if no
acknowledgement),
4. By Bus acknowledgement or
5. by P506, the automatic error acknowledgement.
An error message can only be acknowledged if its direct cause is no longer present.
