Chapter 1 – Getting Started

Important Precautions

In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, you must read and understand the following
statements which identify hazards associated with AC drives.

ATTENTION

The Bulletin 161 drive contains high voltage DC bus capacitors which take time to discharge after
removal of input power. Before working on the drive, wait five minutes for capacitors to discharge to
safe voltage levels.
Darkened display LEDs are not an indication that capacitors have discharged to safe voltage levels.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

ATTENTION

This Bulletin 161 drive generates dangerous electrical voltages and controls potentially dangerous
rotating mechanical parts. Disregarding the guidelines provided in this manual could result in severe
bodily injury or loss of life.

Only personnel familiar with the drive and associated machinery should plan or implement the
installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to comply could result in
bodily injury and/or damage to the equipment.

ATTENTION

This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control
precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing or repairing this assembly. Component damage
may result if ESD control procedures are not followed. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
damage to the equipment.

ATTENTION

The drive is intended to be installed with a fixed ground connection. The protective ground only offers
protection for the drive, not against personal injury. According to EN50178 it is not recommended to use
the Bulletin 161 drives on protective fault current switches as, due to a possible DC component (rectifier
load), the sensitivity of the safety switch will be reduced in the event of a failure. If unavoidable, only type
B Residual Current Operated Protective Devices (RCD’s) should be used. As a precautionary measure,
the EN50178 regulations should be observed. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe
bodily injury or loss of life.

ATTENTION

An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in component damage or reduction in product life.
Wiring or application errors such as undersizing the motor, supplying an incorrect or an inadequate AC
supply, or excessive ambient temperatures may result in system malfunction. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in damage to the equipment.

Getting Started

2

1 Ratings through 3 HP (2.2 KW) are rated for single or three phase input

ATTENTION

• To prevent any injuries or damage, do not touch any components located within the housing with
your hands or with any other objects while input voltage is applied or if the DC-bus capacitors are
not discharged. Do not carry out any work on the wiring or check any signals if input voltage is
applied.

ATTENTION

• Ensure that the input voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the product nameplate.
Environmental influences such as high temperatures and high relative humidity are to be avoided as
well as dust, dirt and corrosive gases. The mounting location should be well ventilated and not
exposed to direct sunlight. Install the device upright on a non-flammable, vertical wall. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in damage to the equipment.

ATTENTION

• The drive start/stop and enable control circuitry includes solid-state components. If hazards due to
accidental contact with moving machinery or unintentional flow of liquid, gas or solids exist, an
additional hardwired stop circuit is required to remove AC input power to the drive.

• All the pertinent safety regulations, e.g. accident prevention regulations, professional association
regulations, EN, VDE regulations etc. must be observed. As these regulations are implemented
differently in different countries, the user must observe the regulations that apply for his particular
country.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

Getting Started

Receiving Your New Drive

It is your responsibility to thoroughly inspect the equipment before accepting shipment from the freight
company. Check the item(s) received against your purchase order. If any items are obviously damaged, do
not accept delivery until the freight agent notes the damage on the freight bill.

Unpacking

Remove all packing material, wedges, or braces from within and around the drive. Remove all packing material
from the heat sink. Leave the debris cover in place on the top of the drive.

If you find any concealed damage during unpacking, notify the freight agent. Also, leave the shipping container
intact and have the freight agent make a visual inspection of the equipment to verify damage.

Inspecting

After unpacking, check the item(s) nameplate catalog number against your purchase order. An explanation of
the catalog numbering system for the Bulletin 161 drive was provided in Figure 1.1 as an aide for nameplate
interpretation.

IMPORTANT: Before you install and start up your Bulletin 161, inspect for mechanical integrity. Look closely for
loose parts, wires and connections.

ATTENTION

• The installation, commissioning and maintenance of these drives may only be carried out by
experienced personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the functioning of the equipment and the
entire machine.

• The devices feature DC-bus capacitors that are energized even when the input supply is switched
off. For this reason wait at least 5 minutes after switching off the input supply before you open the
device and start working on it. Take care that you do not touch any live parts.

• Do not apply input voltage to the output terminals U/T1, V/T2 and W/T3 as drive damage could
occur.

• Contact the motor or machine manufacturers if standard motors with frequencies greater than 60
Hz will be used in your application.

• Failure to follow these precautions could result in severe bodily injury, loss of life or damage to the
equipment.

Installation & Wiring

Power Wiring

Precautions:

ATTENTION

• Ensure that the input voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the product nameplate.

• In normal operation apply the START/STOP commands via the control terminals or the control
panel and not by disconnecting and reapplying input power to the drive or motor contactor. If it
is necessary to use this method for starting and stopping, or if frequent cycling of power is
unavoidable, make certain it does not occur more than once every 5 minutes. Do not install any
capacitors or suppressors to the drive output terminals.

• Exercise particular caution if automatic restart is activated. To prevent injuries caused by
automatic restarting of the drive following a power failure, install a switching component at the input
that is deactivated in the event of a power failure and that may only be manually switched
on again on return of the power supply (e.g. contactor etc.).

• Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5,000 rms symmetrical amperes,
240V maximum.

The function of the digital inputs 1 through 5 are programmed via the corresponding PC01 [Digital Input 1]
through PC05 - [Digital Input 5]. The following programming guidelines must be followed:

• No two inputs can be programmed for the same function.

• The PTC input (setting 19) is only programmable on input terminal 5.

The digital inputs can be programmed to respond to NO (Active High) or NC (Active Open) inputs via

PC11 - [Digital Input 1 Logic] through PC15 - [Digital Input 5 Logic].

ATTENTION

• All digital inputs respond to level sensitive commands.

• Inputs do not require a voltage transition (cycle) after a fault condition is cleared, after input power cycling or after
programming the logic of the digital input.

• All digital inputs can be programmed as NO or NC. HOWEVER, THE START COMMAND SHOULD BE SET AS NO
(ACTIVE HIGH) AND THE STOP COMMAND SHOULD BE SET AS NC (ACTIVE OPEN). If set opposite of this, an
inadvertent start or failure to stop could occur should a discrete connection be lost or control wire come loose. IF THE
USER CHOOSES TO DISREGARD THIS SAFETY PRACTICE – THE RISK ASSUMED BY THE USER CAN BE
REDUCED BY ASSURING THAT OTHER SAFEGUARDS ARE USED TO INSURE PROPER START AND STOP
OPERATION. Depending on the application: This may include appropriate emergency stops, redundant wiring,
electronic guards and/or mechanical guards.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

Parameters & Programming

C Group – Intelligent I/O and Communication Parameters

This parameter group is used to program the functions of the digital and analog I/O.

ATTENTION

• All digital inputs respond to level sensitive commands.

• Inputs do not require a voltage transition (cycle) after a fault condition is cleared, after input power cycling or after
programming the logic of the digital input.

• All digital inputs can be programmed as NO or NC. HOWEVER, The START COMMAND SHOULD BE SET AS NO (ACTIVE
HIGH) AND THE STOP COMMAND SHOULD BE SET AS NC (ACTIVE OPEN). If set opposite of this, an inadvertent start
or failure to stop could occur should a discrete connection be lost or control wire come loose. IF THE USER CHOOSES TO
DISREGARD THIS SAFETY PRACTICE – THE RISK ASSUMED BY THE USER CAN BE REDUCED BY ASSURING THAT
OTHER SAFEGUARDS ARE USED TO INSURE PROPER START AND STOP OPERATION. Depending on the application:
This may include appropriate emergency stops, redundant wiring, electronic guards and/or mechanical guards.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

Chapter 4 – Faults & Troubleshooting

Fault Information

This chapter provides information to guide you in troubleshooting the drive. Included is a list and description of
drive faults and problems that may occur.

How to Clear a Fault

When a fault occurs, the cause must be corrected before the fault can be cleared. After corrective action has
been taken, any of the following actions will clear the fault.

• Press the stop button on the Keypad.

• “Reset” the drive via a digital input that is programmed to setting 18 {RS}.

• Cycle power to the drive.

ATTENTION

• A hazard of personal injury or equipment damage exists. If a fault is cleared while there is a valid
run command, the drive will run as soon as the fault is cleared without cycling the input.

Note: If any digital input (C01-C05) is set to 31 {OPE} then the setting of parameter A02 is ignored as the digital input

overrides this setting. If the input is programmed, but not
nals. If the input is programmed and

active, the start command will come from the start key on the keypad.

Possible Problems and Corrective Actions

Problem Corrective Action

The motor does not start. 1. Check the power circuit.

• Check the supply voltage.

• Check all fuses and disconnects.

2. Check the Motor.

• Verify that the motor is connected properly.

• Verify that no mechanical problems exist.

3. Check the control input signals.

• Verify that the start signal is present.

• Verify that either the Run Forward or Run Reverse signal
is active, but not both.

• Verify wiring of H, O, and L terminals if a remote speed
pot is being used.

• If using 3 wire start, ensure that a 3 wire stop is
programmed.

• Verify that the reset command {RS} is not active.

4. Check the setting of PA01-[Frequency Command Select].

5. Check setting of PA02 - [Start Command Select].

• If set to keypad start check PF04-[Start Key Direction],
when set to 02, the 00 {FW} or 01 {RV} digital input must
be active before pressing start key.

• If set to keypad control, ensure that a jumper is connected
between terminals 3 and P24.

6. If any digital input is set to 31{OPE} then the setting of A02 is
ignored as the digital input overrides this setting. The start
command will come from the control terminals. If the input is
programmed, but NOT active the start command will come
from the control terminals. If the input is programmed AND
active the start command will come from the Start key on the
keypad.

The direction of motor rotation is incorrect. 1. Check the motor output connections, reverse two of the three

phases if necessary.

2. Check that the control inputs have been wired correctly.

3. If using 3 wire control ensure that the 3 wire forward/reverse
input is programmed.

4. Check setting of PF04 – [Start Key Direction].

36

Faults & Troubleshooting

Problem Corrective Action

The motor does not accelerate properly. 1. Check to see that a frequency has been commanded.

2. Check to see if a preset frequency has been selected.

3. Check to see if the motor load is too high.

4. Check to see if the acceleration time is too long.

5. Check to see if manual boost and current limit are set properly.

The speed of the motor does not match the
frequency.

1. Check to see that the maximum frequency has been entered
correctly.

2. Check the rated speed of the motor and the reduction ratio of
the gear.

3. Check to see if manual boost and current limit are set properly.

4. If PID control is used, check gain adjustments.

The motor runs unstable. 1. If sudden high load changes occur, choose a drive and motor

with higher ratings or reduce the load changes.

2. If resonant frequencies occur in the motor, set up skip
frequency bands.

3. If the input voltage is not constant, change the PWM carrier
frequency.

The parameters stored do not match the values
entered.

1. When the input voltage was switched off the entered values
were transferred to the power-failure safe EEPROM.
Reprogram the values and wait at least 6 seconds before
powering down.

No entries can be made. 1. Check to see if the parameter protection is activated via a

digital input setting of 15 {SFT}.

The electronic motor protection (fault E05) is
triggered.

1. Check the manual boost setting to see if it is too high.

2. Check the electronic motor protection setting to make sure that
it is correct.

Appendix A – CE Conformity

CE Compliance

This drive is a component intended for implementation in machines or systems for the industrial environment. It is
CE marked for conformity to the Low Voltage (LV) directive 73/23/EEC when installed as described. It also has
been tested to meet the Council Directive 89/336 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). The standards used for
this testing are, LV: EN50178, EN60204-1, EN60950, EMC: EN61800-3 (EN55011, Group 1, Class B (Industrial
Environment)).

General Notes and Instructions

• The motor cable should be kept as short as possible in order to avoid electromagnetic emission as well as
capacitive currents. The cable length increases the capacitive current and electromagnetic emission.
It is recommended that the motor cable length does not exceed 50m.
It is always recommended to install output reactors if the cable length exceeds 50m.

• The filters contain capacitors between the phases and the phases to ground as well as suitable
discharging resistors, but after switching off the line voltage wait a minimum of 60 seconds before
removing protective covers or touching terminals to avoid an electric shock.

• The use of ground fault monitoring devices (RCD’s) is not recommended. If unavoidable, only monitoring
devices which are suited for DC, AC and High Frequency ground currents (type B RCD’s) should be used.
It is recommended to use devices whose responsiveness and time characteristics are adjustable, to avoid
nuisance tripping during power up of the drive.

• The thermal capacity of the line filter is guaranteed up to a maximum motor cable length of 50m.

• The line filters have been developed for use in grounded systems. Use in ungrounded systems is not
recommended.

Essential Requirements for a Conforming EMC Installation

The following items are required for CE conformance.

1. An input filter module (See Chapter 5 Specifications and Dimensions) must be installed to reduce

conducted emissions.
Compliance of the Bulletin 161 drive to the conducted emissions levels with appropriate line filter module is
as follows:

PWM Carrier Frequency Motor Cable Length Limit

</= 16kHz 10m Class B

</= 5kHz 20m Class B

</= 16kHz 50m Class A

2. Grounding of equipment and cable shields must be solid with low impedance connections.

3. All motor cables must use shielded cable, or be in grounded metal conduit.

4. All control and signal wiring must use shielded cable or be in grounded metal conduit.

5. Ensure that the protective earth ground terminal (PE) of the filter is properly connected with the protective

earth ground terminal of the drive. The filter must be solidly and permanently connected with the ground
potential to avoid electric shock.

General Instructions for an EMC Compliant Installation

Motor Cable

• The cable between the drive and motor must be 4-wire shielded cable (three phases and ground).

• Do not exceed the maximum motor cable length for the specific line filter module used.

Control Cable

• Control wiring must use shielded cable or grounded metal conduit.

• The shield must be connected to PE at both ends of the cable.
