Use cables according to the local standards.

NOTE! Take all necesary measures to fullfil the EMC directives. See also Chapter 2.6
page 9 EMC connection.

If the inverter is used to drive more than one motor, the total current must be
less or the same than the current of the inverter. Additional thermal relays must
be installed for every single motor. Use the Fn_18 at 1.0 times of the rated value
specified on the motor nameplate at 50 Hz, 1.1 times of the rated value specified
on the motor nameplate at 60 Hz.
Do not install power factor capacitors, LC or RC components between the
inverter and the motor.
The signal cable connector is suited for cables with a maximum diameter of
0.75 mm2.

2.5 Recommendation for brake resistor

The choice of the resistor depends on the application switch-on duration and
duty-cycle.
DFE 23-08 minimum value 100 Ω
DFE 23-10 minimum value 70 Ω

8 INSTALLATION
2.6 EMC connection and earthing
A) It is very important to use a screened motor cable. The following instructions
must be carried out to fulfill the demands acc. to the EMC standards.
• Use a metal mounting plate and place the frequency inverter on it.
• Use a screened motor cable with 4 wires (U,V,W,& Earth), don’t use the
shielding as safety earth (shield is high frequency earth)
• Use a metal unpainted clamp to connect the shielding to the mounting plate,
so there is a good 360° contact between the shielding and the mounting plate
(remove paint if necessary)
• Don’t solder to the shielding (no pig tail connections).
• When using the optional Class B EMC filter for 1st environment, make sure
to mount it as described in Chapter 2.2 page 6. Keep the wiring between fre-
quency inverter and EMC filter as short as possible (< 30 cm).
• Use only motors with the same or less power rating than the inverter.

Class A Installation, 2nd environment according to EN61800-3

INSTALLATION 9
Class B Installation (Optional), 1st environment acc. to EN61800-3

Fig. 5

• When the distance between the inverter and motor is longer than 100m,
cables should be carefully chosen to reduce the cable resistance below 3% and
the voltage drop (V) = 3 x Cable resistance (Ω/km) x cable length (m) x
current x 10-3.
B) Control cables must be separated and away from the power cables and other
high voltage or large current power lines to avoid noise interference.
• To reduce the noise interference and avoid bad operation, shielded twisted
pair cable must be used to wire the control circuitry. Please refer to the follo-
wing diagram. Connect the shielding with a metal cable clamp to the moun-
ting plate in order to get a good 360° connection (remove paint if necessary).
• Connect the shielding to the high frequency reference on both ends of the
control cable.
NOTE! Wiring distance must be under 50 m.

C) The grounding terminal of the inverter must be correctly grounded in com-

pliance with 200V class type three grounding.
• Grounding wire should be wired in accordance to electrical equipment
(AWG) with the length of the grounding wire as short as possible.
• The grounding wire of the inverter must not be grounded together with
other large current loading (such as soldering machine or large power
motor). They should be grounded separately.
• Grounding circuitry must not be formed when grounding several inverters
together.

The inverter output voltage according to the B, C point on the V/F pattern
(refer to Fn_05 description) can be added by the Fn_13 settings to enhance the
output torque
NOTE! When Fn_13 = 0, the torque boost function is disabled.

26 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Fn_14 Stopping method = 0 : Decelerate stop
1 : Free run stop
Fn_15 DC braking time = 0 - 25.5 sec
Fn_16 DC braking starting frequency = 1 - 10 Hz
Fn_17 DC braking level = 0 - 20 %
If Fn_14 = 0
When the inverter is stopped, it decelerates to the frequency set by Fn_16 and
the output voltage level set by Fn_17; after the time duration set by Fn_15, the
inverter goes into complete stop.
If Fn_14 = 1
The inverter stops immediately after receiving a stop command. The motor free-
wheels.

Fn_18: Motor rated current = 0 - 200 %

Function of the electronic thermal protecting motor is as follow:
1. Motor rated current = Inverter rated current x Fn_18
Fn_18 = Motor rated current / inverter rated current
2. When the load is within 100% of the motor rated current, the operation
continues. When the load reaches 150% of the motor rated current the oper-
ation may continue for only 1 minute. (refer to curve (1) in Fig. 22)
3. After activating the electronic thermal protection, the inverter is cut off
immediately. The OL1 is flashing. To resume operation, push RESET button
or activate external reset terminal.
4. When the motor is operating at low speed, the heat dissipation efficiency is
lowered. The electronic thermal activation level is reduced also (change from
curve (1) to curve (2) in Fig. 22). Choose appropriate Fn_05 setting accord-
ing to applied motor to reach a better protection.
Function of the electronic thermal protecting inverter is as follow:
1. When the load is within 103% of the inverter rated current, the operation
continues. When the load reaches 150% of rated current of the inverter,
operation may continue for 1 minute only (refer to curve (1) of Fig. 22)

28 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3. Fn_19, Fn_20 =3: External emergency stop signal
When the external emergency stop signal is activated, the inverter generates a
decelerate stop (ignoring the setting in Fn_14) and flash E.S. after stop. After the
emergency stop signal is deactivated, turn the RUN switch OFF and then ON
again (Fn_10 =1), or push the RUN key (Fn_10=0). The inverter will then
resume operation and restart. If the emergency stop signal is removed before the
inverter stops, the inverter will still execute the emergency stop.
4. Fn_19, Fn_20 =4: External Base Block (immediate shut off)
When the external base block signal is activated, the inverter output will be
immediately shut off (ignoring setting in Fn_14) and flash b.b. After the base
block signal deactivated, turn the RUN switch OFF and then ON again (Fn_10
= 1) or push the RUN key (Fn_10=0), the inverter will restart from the starting
frequency.
5. Fn_19, Fn_20 = 5: Reset inverter trip.

Fn_21: Multi-function output terminal = 1 - 3

1. Fn_21 = 1: Run mode signal
2. Fn_22 = 2: Frequency agreed signal
3. Fn_21 = 3: Fault signal

Fn_22:Reverse instruction
= 0 : REV command enabled

NOTE! When Fn_04 is set to 1 (reverse), Fn_22 can not be set to 1, indication displays
"LOC". Fn_04 must be changed to 0 before setting Fn_22 to 1.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 29
Fn_23: Restart after momentary power loss
= 0 : Restart enabled
1. When AC power supply is temporary lower then the low voltage protection
level because of a power dip, the inverter will stop immediately. If the power
source resumes within 2 seconds, the inverter can restart by SPEED
SEARCH (start tracing from the breaking frequency), otherwise the inverter
will trip on "LV-C".
2. When Fn_23 =0, if the transient power off duration is less than 2 sec., the
inverter resumes operation via speed search at 0.5 sec after power up. The
restart time is not limited by Fn_24. If the transient power off duration is
longer than 2 sec., it is up to the setting of Fn_24 to decide if the inverter can
be automatically restarted.
3. When Fn_23 = 1, the inverter will trip immediately after the transient power
off and indicate LV-C. It can not be restarted. (Not controlled by Fn_24)

Fn_24: Number of Auto-restart times = 0-5

1. When Fn_24 = 0, the inverter will not automatically reset after trip.
2. When Fn_24 > 0 , the inverter will resume operation via SPEED SEARCH
at 0.5 second after trip and return to the operating frequency before the trip.
After that, the inverter will accelerate or decelerate to the prevailing fre-
quency setting.
3. When the inverter is set to deceleration or DC braking, the transient restart
procedure is not performed.
4. When either of the following situations occur, the transient restart count will
be reset:
(1) No additional malfunction (in operation or stop) occurs within 10 min-
utes.
(2) Press RESET button or external terminal RESET is ON.

= 020 : Constants initialization to 60Hz system
1. When Fn_25 is set to 010, all parameters are restored to the factory settings
for 50Hz systems. The settings of Fn_05 =1 and Fn_06 = 50. Fn_25 is
restored back to 000 after the reset process is completed.
2. When Fn_25 is set to 020, all parameters are restored to factory settings for
60Hz systems. The settings of Fn_05 =4 and Fn_06 = 60. Fn_25 is restored
back to 000 after the reset process complete.
