1. SAFETY

ONLY A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN IS ALLOWED TO CARRY
OUT THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION!

This manual contains clearly marked cautions and warnings which are intended for
your personal safety and to avoid any unintentional damage to the product or con­nected appliances.

Please read the information included in cautions and warnings carefully:

=Dangerous voltage

Risk of death or severe injury

=General warning

Risk of damage to the product or
connected appliances

1.1 Warnings

The components of the power unit of the frequency converter
are live when Vacon 10 is connected to mains. Coming into
contact with this voltage is extremely dangerous and may
cause death or severe injury. The control unit is isolated from
the mains potential.

The motor terminals U, V, W (T1, T2, T3) and the possible brake
resistor terminals - / + are live when Vacon 10 is connected to
mains, even if the motor is not running.

The control I / O-terminals are isolated from the mains poten­tial. However, the relay output terminals may have a danger­ous control voltage present even when Vacon 10 is

connected from mains.

dis

The earth leakage current of Vacon 10 frequency converters
exceeds 3.5 mA AC. According to standard EN61800-5-1, a
reinforced protective ground connection must be ensured.

If the frequency converter is used as a part of a ma chine, the
machine manufacturer is responsible for providing the
machine with a main switch (EN 60204-1).

If Vacon 10 is disconnected from mains while running the
motor, it remains live if the motor is energized by the process.
In this case the motor functions as a generator feeding energy
to the frequency converter.

1.2 Safety instructions

The Vacon 10 frequency converter has been designed for fixed
installations only.

Do not perform any measurements when the frequency con­verter is connected to the mains.

Do not perform any voltage withstand tests on any part of
Vacon 10. The product safety is fully tested at factory.

Prior to measurements on the motor or the motor cable, dis­connect the motor cable from the frequency converter.

Do not open the cover of Vacon 10. Static voltage discharge
from your fingers may damage the components. Opening the
cover may also damage the device. If the cover of Vacon 10 is
opened, warranty becomes void.

1.3 Earthing and earth fault protection

The Vacon 10 frequency converter must always be earthed with an earthing conduc­tor connected to the earthing terminal. See figure below:

MI1 - MI3

• The earth fault protection inside the frequency converter protects

only the converter itself against earth faults.

• If fault current protective switches are used they must be tested

with the drive with earth fault currents that are possible to arise in
fault situations.

2.3 Maintenance

In normal operating conditions, Vacon 10 frequency converters are maintenance­free. However, regular maintenance is recommended to ensure a trouble-free oper­ating and a long lifetime of the drive. We recommended to follow the table below for
maintenance intervals.

2.3.1 Capacitor recharge

After a longer storage time the capacitors need to be recharge in order to avoid ca­pacitor damage. Possible high leakage current through the capacitors must be lim­ited. The best way to achieve this is to use a DC-power supply with adjustable current
limit.

1) Set the current limit to 300…800 mA according to the size of the drive.

2) Then connect the DC-power supply to the input phase L1 and L2.

3) Then set the DC-voltage to the nominal DC-voltage level of the (1.35*Un AC) and
supply the converter for at least 1 h.

If DC-voltage is not available and the unit has been stored much longer than 12
months deenergized, consult the factory before connecting power.

• Clean headsink

• Check tightening torques of terminals

• Check input and output terminals and con­trol I / O terminals.

• Clean cooling tunnel.

• Check operation of cooling fan, check for
corrosion on terminals, busbars and other
surfaces.

• Chang cooling fans:

• Main fan

3.1.4 EMC levels

EN61800-3 defines the division of frequency converters into five classes according to
the level of electromagnetic disturbances emitted, the requirements of a power sys­tem network and the installation environment (see below). The EMC class of each
product is defined in the type designation code.

Category C1: Frequency converters of this class comply with the requirements of
category C1 of the product standard EN 61800-3 (2004). Category C1 ensures the
best EMC characteristics and it includes converters the rated voltage of which is less
than 1000 V and which are intended for use in the 1st environment.
NOTE: The requirements of class C are fulfilled only as far as the conducted emis­sions are concerned.

Category C2: Frequency converters of this class comply with the requirements of
category C2 of the product standard EN 61800-3 (2004). Category C2 includes con­verters in fixed installations and the rated voltage of which is less than 1000 V. The
class C2 frequency converters can be used both in the 1st and the 2nd environment.

Category C3: Frequency converters of this class comply with the requirements of
category C3 of the product standard EN 61800-3 (2004). Category C3 includes con­verters the rated voltage of which is less than 1000 V and which are intended for use
in the second environment only.

Category C4: The drives of this class do not provide EMC emission protection. These
kinds of drives are mounted in enclosures.

Environments in product standard EN 61800-3 (2004)

First environment: Environment that includes domestic premises. It also includes
establishments directly connected without intermediate transformers to a low-volt­age power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

NOTE: houses, apartments, commercial premises or offices in a residential building
are examples of first environment locations.

Second environment: Environment that includes all establishments other than
those directly connected to a low-voltage power supply network which supplies
buildings used for domestic purposes.
NOTE: industrial areas, technical areas of any building fed from a dedicated trans­former are examples of second environment locations.

3.1.5 Changing the EMC protection class from C2 or C3 to C4

The EMC protection class of MI1-3 frequency converters can be changed from class
C2 or C3 to class C4 by removing the EMC-capacitor disconnecting screw, see fig­ure below.

Note! Do not attempt to change the EMC level back to class C2 or C3. Even if the pro­cedure above is reversed, the frequency converter will no longer fulfil the EMC re­quirements of class C2 / C3!

3.2.5 General cabling rules

Before starting the installation, check that none of the components of the fre-

1

quency converter is live.
Place the motor cables sufficiently far from other cables:

• Avoid placing the motor cables in long parallel lines with other cables.

• If the motor cable runs in parallel with other cables, the minimum distance
between the motor cable and other cables is 0.3 m.

• The given distance also applies between the motor cables and signal cables

2

4

of other systems.

• The maximum length of the motor cables for MI1-3 is 30 m. If use longer
cable, current accuracy will be decreased.

• The motor cables should cross other cables at an angle of 90 degrees.

If cable insulation checks are needed, see Chapter Cable and motor insulation
checks.

Connecting the cables:

• Strip the motor and mains cables as advised in Figure Stripping of cables.

• Connect the mains, motor and control cables into their respective termi­nals, see Figures Vacon 10 power connections, MI1 - Install the control
cables.

• Note the tightening torques of power cables and control cables given in
Vacon 10 power connections, MI1 and Install t he control cables. MI1 - MI3.
See Chapter6.2.

• For information on cable installation according to UL regulations see Chap­ter Cable installation and the UL standards.

• Make sure that the control cable wires do not come in contact with th e elec­tronic components of the unit.

• If an external brake resistor (option) is used, connect its cable to the appro­priate term inal.

• Check the connection of the earth cable to the motor and the frequency
converter terminals marked with.

• Connect the separate shield of the motor cable to the earth plate of the
frequency converter, motor and the supply centre.

the control cables. MI1 - MI3. See Chapter 6.2

3.2.7 Cable installation and the UL standards

To meet the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) regulations, a UL-approved copper ca­ble with a minimum heat-resistance of +60 / 75°C must be used.

3.2.8 Cable and motor insulation checks

These checks can be performed as follows if motor or cable insulations are suspect­ed to be faulty.

1. Motor cable insulation checks

Disconnect the motor cable from terminals U / T1, V / T2 and W / T3 of the frequency
converter and from the motor. Measure the insulation resistance of the motor cable
between each phase conductor as well as between each phase conductor and the
protective ground conductor.

The insulation resistance must be >1 MOhm.

2. Mains cable insulation checks

Disconnect the mains cable from terminals L1, L2 / N and L3 of the frequency con­verter and from the mains. Measure the insulation resistance of the mains cable be­tween each phase conductor as well as between each phase conductor and the
protective ground conductor. The insulation resistance must be >1 MOhm.

3. Motor insulation checks

Disconnect the motor cable from the motor and open the bridging connections in the
motor connection box. Measure the insulation resistance of each motor winding. The
measurement voltage must equal at least the motor nominal voltage but not exceed
1000 V. The insulation resistance must be >1 MOhm.

Note: The fault codes listed in this chapter are visible if the Application Interface has

a display, like e.g. in control board or if a personal computer has been connected to
the drive.

When a fatal fault is detected by the frequency converter control electronics, the
drive will stop and the symbol FT and the fault code blinked on the display are in the
following format, e.g.:

The active fault can be reset by pressing BACK / RESET button when the API is in ac­tive fault menu level (FT XX), or pressing BACK / RESET button with long time (> 2 s)
when the API is in active fault submenu level (F5.x ), or via the I / O terminal or field
bus. Reset fault history (long push > 5 s), when the API is in fault history submenu
level (F6.x). The faults with subcode and time labels are stored in the Fault history
submenu which can be browsed. The different fault codes, their causes and correct­ing actions are presented in the table below.

entering the active fault submenu F5.x. F5.1 is always the latest active fault code. The
active faults can be reset by pressing BACK / RESET button with long time (>2 s),
when the API is in active fault submenu level (F5.x). If the fault cannot be reset, the
blinking continues. It is possible to select other display menus durin g active fault, but
in this case the display returns automatically to the fault menu if no button is pressed
in 10 seconds. The fault code, subcode and the operating day, hour and minute val­ues at the fault instant are shown in the value menu (operating hours = displayed

9. PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

On the next pages you can find the descriptions of certain parameters. The descrip­tions have been arranged according to parameter group and number.

9.1 Motor settings (Control panel: Menu PAR -> P1)

1.7 CURRENT LIMIT

This parameter determines the maximum motor current from the frequency
converter. To avoid motor overload, set this parameter according to the rated
current of the motor. The current limit is equal to the rated converter current
(In) by default.

1.8 MOTOR CONTROL MODE

With this parameter the user can select the motor control mode. The selec­tions are:

0 = Frequency control:
Drive frequency reference is set to output frequency without s lip com-

pensation. Motor actual speed is finally defined by motor load.

1 = Open loop speed control:
Drive frequency reference is set to motor speed reference. The motor

speed remains the same regardless of motor load. Slip is compensat­ed.

1.9 U / F RATIO

There are three selections for this parameter:

0 = Linear:

The voltage of the motor changes linearly with the frequency in the
constant flux area from 0 Hz to the field weakening point where the
field weakening point voltage is supplied to the motor. Linear U / f ratio
should be used in constant torque applications. See Figure 9.1.

This default setting should be used if there is no special need for an­other setting.

parameter descriptions vacon • 63

1 = Quadratic:

The voltage of the motor changes following a squared curve form with
the frequency in the area from 0 Hz to the field weakening poin t where
the field weakening point voltage is also supplied to the motor. The
motor runs under magnetised below the field weakening point and
produces less torque, power losses and electromechanical noise.
Squared U / f ratio can be used in applications where torque demand
of the load is proportional to the square of the speed, e.g. in centrifugal
fans and pumps.

Figure 9.1: Linear and squared change of motor voltage

2 = Programmable U / f curve:

The U / f curve can be programmed with three different points. Pro­grammable U / f curve can be used if the other settings do not satisfy
the needs of the application.

1.10 FIE LD WEAKENING POINT

The field weakening point is the output frequency at which the output voltage
reaches the value set with par. 1.11.

1.11 FIE LD WEAKENING POINT VOLTAGE

Above the frequency at the field weakening point, the output voltage remains
at the value set with this parameter. Below the frequency at the field weaken­ing point, the output voltage depends on the setting of the U / f curve param­eters. See parameters 1.9-1.14 and Figures 9.1 and 9.2.

When the parameters 1.1 and 1.2 (nominal voltage and nominal frequency of
the motor) are set, the parameters 1.10 and 1.11 are automatically given the
corresponding values. If you need different values for the field weakening
point and the voltage, change these parameters after setting the parameters

1.1 and 1.2.

1.12 U / F MIDDLE POINT FREQUENCY

If the programmable U / f curve has been selected with the parameter 1.9, this
parameter defines the middle point frequency of the curve. See Figure 9.2.

1.13 U / F MIDDLE POINT VOLTAGE

If the programmable U / f curve has been selected with the parameter 1.9, this
parameter defines the middle point voltage of the curve. See Figure 9.2.

1.14 ZERO FREQUENCY VOLTAGE

This parameter defines the zero frequency voltage of the curve. See Figures

9.1 and 9.2.

1.15 TORQUE BOOST

When this parameter has been activated, the voltage to the motor changes au­tomatically with high load torque which makes the motor produce sufficient
torque to start and run at low frequencies. The voltage increase depends on
the motor type and power. Automatic torque boost can be used in applications
with high load torque, e.g. in conveyors.

0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled

Note: In high torque - low speed applications - it is likely that the motor will

overheat. If the motor has to run a prolonged time under these conditions,
special attention must be paid to cooling the motor. Use external cooling for
the motor if the temperature tends to rise too high.

Note: The best performance can be reached by running motor identification,
see par. 1.18.

1.16 SWI TCHING FREQUENCY

Motor noise can be minimised using a high switching frequency. Increasing
the switching frequency reduces the capacity of the frequency converter unit.

Switching frequency for Vacon 10: 1.5…16 kHz.

1.17 BRAKE CHOPPER

Note! An internal brake chopper is installed in three phase supply MI2 and MI3
size drives.

0 = Disable (No brake chopper used)
1 = Enable: Always (Used in Run and Stop state)
2 = Enable: Run state (Brake chopper used in Run state)

When the frequency converter is decelerating the motor, the energy stored to the in­ertia of the motor and the load are fed into an external brake resistor, if the brake
chopper has been activated. This enables the frequency converter to decelerate the
load with a torque equal to that of acceleration (provided that the correct brake re­sistor has been selected). See separate Brake resistor installation manual.

1.18 MOTOR IDENTIFICATION

0 = Not active
1 = Standstill identification

When Standstill identification is selected, the drive will perform an ID-run
when it is started from selected control place. Drive has to be started within
20 seconds, otherwise identification is aborted.

24-hour support [phone] • Email: [e-mail]

9

66 • vacon parameter descriptions

The drive does not rotate the motor during Standstill identification. When ID
run is ready the drive is stopped. Drive will start normally, when the next start
command is given.

After end the identification, the drive need stop the start command. If control
place is Keypad, user need press stop button. If control place is IO,user need
put DI(Control signal) inactivate. If control place is fieldbus, user need set the
control bit to 0.

The ID run improves the torque calculations and the automatic torque boost
function. It will also result in a better slip compensation in speed control
(more accurate RPM).

The parameters below will change after ID run successfully,

a. P1.9 U / f ratio

b. P1.12 U / f mid point frequency

c. P1.13 U / f mid point voltage

d. P1.14 Zero freq voltage

e. P1.18 Motor identification (1->0)

f. P1.19 Rs voltage drop

Note!The nameplate data of the motor has to be set BEFORE doing ID run.

9.2 Start / stop setup (Control panel: Menu PAR -> P2)

2.1 REMOTE CONTROL PLACE 1 SELECTION

With this parameter, the user can select the active control place. The selec­tions are:

0 = I / O terminal (frequency reference can be selected with P3.3)
1 = Fieldbus

The priority order of selecting the control place is:

1. Force to I/O when the digital input of P5.13 (Force to I/O) is active.

2. Loc/Rem button or P2.5 (Local/Remote) =1.

3. Determined by P2.1 (Remote Control Place Selection).

Note: You can select control place by pressing Loc / Rem button or with par.

2.5, P2.1 will have no effect in local mode.

Local = Keypad is the control place
Remote = I / O terminal or FieldBus

2.2 START FUNCTION

The user can select two start functions for Vacon 10 with this parameter:

0 = Ramp start

The frequency converter starts from 0 Hz and accelerates to the set
frequency reference within the set acceleration time (See detailed de­scription: ID103). (Load inertia, torque or starting friction may cause
prolonged acceleration times).

1 = Flying start

With this function the drive identifies the speed of the motor and starts
to the corresponding frequency immediately.

Use this mode if the motor is rotating when the start command is giv­en. With the flying start, it is possible to ri de through short mains volt­age interruptions.

2.3 STOP FUNCTION

Two stop functions can be selected in this application:

0 = Coasting

The motor coasts to a halt without control from the frequency convert­er after the Stop command.

24-hour support [phone] • Email: [e-mail]

9

68 • vacon parameter descriptions

1 = Ramping

After the Stop command, the speed of the motor is decelerated ac­cording to the set deceleration parameters.

If the regenerated energy is high it may be necessary to use an exter­nal braking resistor for to be able to decelerate the motor in accepta­ble time.

2.4 I / O START STOP LOGIC

Values 0...3 offer possibilities to control the starting and stopping of the AC
drive with digital signal connected to digital inputs. CS = Control signal.

The selections including the text 'edge' shall be used to exclude the possibility
of an unintentional start when, for example, power is connected, re-connected
after a power failure, after a fault reset, after the drive is stopped by Run En­able (Run Enable = False) or when the control place is changed to I / O control.

The Start / Stop contact must be opened before the motor can be started.

Accurate stop mode is that the stop time is fixed from falling edge of DI to mo­tor stop.

9.4 Ramps & brakes setup (Control panel: Menu PAR -> P4)

4.1 RAMP S-SHAPE

The start and end of the acceleration and deceleration ramp can be smoothed
with this parameter. Setting value 0 gives a linear ramp shape which causes
acceleration and deceleration to act immediately to the changes in the refer­ence signal.

Setting value 0.1…10 seconds for this parameter produces an S-shaped accel­eration/deceleration. The acceleration and deceleration times are determined
with parameters 4.2 and 4.3.

4.2 ACCELERAT ION TIME 1

4.3 DECELERATION TIME 1

4.4 RAMP S-SHAPE 2

4.5 ACCELERATIO N TIME 2

4.6 DECELERATION TIME 2

These limits correspond to the time required for the output frequency to ac­celerate from the zero frequency to the set maximum frequency, or to decel­erate from the set maximum frequency to zero frequency.

The user can set two different acceleration/deceleration time and set two dif­ferent ramp s-shape for one application.The active set can be selected with
the selected digital input (par. 5.11).

4.7 FLUX BRAKING

Instead of DC braking, flux braking is a useful form of braking with motors of
max. 15 kW.

24-hour support [phone] • Email: [e-mail]







9

76 • vacon parameter descriptions

When braking is needed, the frequency is reduced and the flux in the motor is
increased, which in turn increases the motor's capability to brake. Unlike DC
braking, the motor speed remains controlled during braking.

0 = Off
1 = Deceleration
2 = Chopper
3 = Full Mode

Note: Flux braking converts the energy into heat at the motor, and should be

used intermittently to avoid motor damage.

4.10 STO P DC CURRENT TIME

Determines if braking is ON or OFF and the braking time of the DC-brake
when the motor is stopping. The function of the DC-brake depends on the stop
function, par. 2.3.

0 = DC brake is not active
>0 = DC brake is active and its function depends on the Stop function,

(par. 2.3). The DC braking time is determined with this parameter.

Par. 2.3 = 0 (Stop function = Coasting):

After the stop command, the motor coasts to a stop without control from the
frequency converter.

With the DC injection, the motor can be electrically stopped in the shortest
possible time, without using an optional external braking resistor.

The braking time is scaled by the frequency when the DC-braking starts. If the
frequency is greater, or equal to the nominal frequency of the motor, the set
value of parameter 4.10 determines the braking time. For example, when the
frequency is 10% of the nominal, the braking time is 10% of the set value of
parameter 4.10.

0 = No action

The motor stall protection protects the motor from short time overload situa­tions such as one caused by a stalled shaft. The stall current is I
stall time 15 seconds and stall frequency limit 25 Hz . If the current is higher
than the limit and output frequency is lower than the limit, the stall state is
true and the drive reacts according to this parameter. There is actually no real
indication of the shaft rotation.

0 = No action
1 = Alarm
2 = Fault, coast

The purpose of the motor underload protection is to ensure that there is load
on the motor when the drive is running. If the motor loses its load there might
be a problem in the process, e.g. a broken belt or a dry pump.

The underload protection time limit is 20 seconds, which is the maximum time
allowed for an underload state to exist before causing a trip according to this
parameter.

13.7 MOTOR THERM AL PROTECTION

The motor thermal protection is to protect the motor from overheating. The drive is
capable of supplying higher than nominal current to the motor. If the load requires
this high current there is a risk that the motor will be thermally overloaded. This is
the case especially at low frequencies. At low frequencies the cooling effect of the
motor is reduced as well as its capacity. If the motor is equipped with an external fan
the load reduction at low speeds is small.
The motor thermal protection is based on a calculated model and it uses the output
current of the drive to determine the load on the motor.
The motor thermal protection can be adjusted with parameters. The thermal current
IT specifies the load current above which the motor is overloaded. This current limit
is a function of the output frequency.

0 = No action
1 = Alarm
2 = Fault, coast

If tripping is selected the drive will stop and activate the fa ult stage, if the tem­perature of the motor becomes too high. Deactivating the protection, i.e. set­ting parameter to 0, will reset the thermal model of the motor to 0%.

CAUTION! The calculated model does not protect the motor if
the airflow to the motor is reduced by blocked air intake grill.

13.8 MTP:AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

When the motor ambient temperature must be taken into consideration, it is
recommended to set a value for this parameter. The value can be set between

-20 and 100 degrees Celsius.

13.9 MTP:ZERO SPEED COOLING

The cooling power can be set between 0 - 150.0% x cooling power at nominal
frequency. See Figure 9.14.

Figure 9.14: Motor cooling power

13.10 MTP:THERMAL TIME CONSTANT

This time can be set between 1 and 200 minutes.

This is the thermal time constant of the motor. The bigger the motor, the long­er the time constants. The time constant is the time within which the calculat­ed thermal model has reached 63% of its final value.

The motor thermal time is specific to the motor design and it varies between
different motor manufacturers.

If the motor's t6-time (t6 is the time in seconds the motor can safely operate
at six times the rated current) is known (given by the motor manufacturer) the
time constant parameter can be set basing on it. As a rule of thumb, the motor
thermal time constant in minutes equals to 2 x t6. If the drive is in stop state
the time constant is internally increased to three times the set parameter val­ue. See also Figure 9.15.

NOTE: Automatic reset is allowed for certain faults only.

5. Under load

14.3 TRIAL TIME

The Automatic restart function restarts the frequency converter when the
faults have disappeared and the waiting time has elapsed.

The time count starts from the first autoreset. If the number of faults occur­ring during the trial time exceeds three, the fault state becomes active. Oth­erwise the fault is cleared after the trial time has elapsed and the next fault
starts the trial time count again. See Figure 9.16.

If a single fault remains during the trial time, a fault state is true.
