Congratulations for choosing the Smooth Control provided by Vacon NX Frequency Converters!
The User's Manual will provide you with the necessary information about the installation, commissioning
and operation of Vacon NX Frequency Converters. We recommend that you carefully study these
instructions before powering up the frequency converter for the first time.
This manual is available in both paper and electronic editions. We recommend you to use the electronic
version if possible. If you have the electronic version at your disposal you will be able to benefit from the
following features:
The manual contains several links and cross-references to other locations in the manual which makes it
easier for the reader to move around in the manual, to check and find things faster.
The manual also contains hyperlinks to web pages. To visit these web pages through the links you must
have an internet browser installed on your computer.
1. SAFETY
1.1 Warnings
The components of the power unit of the frequency converter are live
1 when Vacon NX is connected to mains potential. Coming into contact
with this voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or se-
vere injury. The control unit is isolated from mains potential.
The motor terminals U, V, W and the DC-link/brake resistor terminals
2 are live when Vacon NX is connected to mains, even if the motor is not
running.
After disconnecting the frequency converter from the mains, wait until
3 the fan stops and the indicators on the keypad go out (if no keypad is
attached see the indicators on the cover). Wait 5 more minutes before
doing any work on Vacon NX connections. Do not even open the cover
before this time has expired.
The control I/O-terminals are isolated from the mains potential. How-
4 ever, the relay outputs and other I/O-terminals may have a dangerous
control voltage present even when Vacon NX is disconnected from mains.
Before connecting the frequency converter to mains make sure that the
5 Vacon NX front and cable covers are closed.
earthing terminal .
The earth fault protection inside the frequency converter protects only the converter itself against earth
faults in the motor or the motor cable. It is not intended for personal safety.
Due to the high capacitive currents present in the frequency converter, fault current protective switches
may not function properly.

WARNING
2. EU DIRECTIVE
2.1 CE marking
The CE marking on the product guarantees the free movement of the product within the EEA (European
Economic Area).
Vacon NX frequency converters carry the CE label as a proof of compliance with the Low Voltage Directive
(LVD) and the Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC). The company SGS FIMKO has acted as the Competent
Body.
The compliance of Vacon NX frequency converters with the EMC directive is verified with Technical Con-
struction Files (TCF) checked and approved by SGS FIMKO, which is a Competent Body. The Technical
Construction Files are used to authenticate the comformity of Vacon frequency converters with the Direc-
tive because such a large-sized product family is impossible to be tested in a laboratory environment and
because the combinations of installation vary greatly.
Vacon NX frequency converters are marketed throughout the world, a fact which makes the EMC require-
ments of customers different. As far as the immunity is concerned, all Vacon NX frequency converters are
designed to fulfil even the strictest requirements, while as regards the emission level, the customer may
want to upgrade Vacon's already high ability to filter electro-magnetic disturbances.
Class H:
Vacon NX_5 frequency converters (FR4 to FR9) and NX_2 frequency converters (FR4 to FR6) have been
designed to fulfil the requirements of the product standard EN 61800-3+A11 for the 1st environment
restricted distribution and the 2nd environment.
The emission levels correspond to the requirements of EN 61000-6-4.
Class T:
The T-class converters have a smaller earth leakage current and are intended to be used with IT supplies
only. If they are used with other supplies no EMC requirements are complied with.
Class N:
The drives of this class do not provide EMC emission protection. This kind of drives are mounted in
enclosures. External EMC filtering is usually required to fulfil the EMC emission requirements.
All Vacon NX frequency converters fulfil all EMC immunity requirements (standards EN 61000-6-1,
EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61800-3+A11).
Warning: This is a product of the restricted sales distribution class according to IEC 61800-3. In a
domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be
required to take adequate measures.
Note: For changing the EMC protection class of your Vacon NX frequency converter from class H or L to
class T, please refer to the instructions given in Chapter 6.1.3.

3.2 Storage
If the frequency converter is to be kept in store before use make sure that the ambient conditions are
acceptable:
If the storage time exceeds 12 months the electrolytic DC capacitors need to be charged with caution.
Therefore, such a long storage time is not recommended.
3.3 Maintenance
In normal conditions, Vacon NX frequency converters are maintenance-free. However, we recommend to
clean the heatsink with compressed air whenever necessary.
The cooling fan can easily be changed if necessary.
It may also be necessary to check the tightening torques of terminals at certain intervals.
3.4 Warranty
Only manufacturing defects are covered by the warranty. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for
damages caused during or resulting from transport, receipt of the delivery, installation, commissioning or
use.
The manufacturer shall in no event and under no circumstances be held responsible for damages and
failures resulting from misuse, wrong installation, unacceptable ambient temperature, dust, corrosive
substances or operation outside the rated specifications.
The Manufacturer's time of warranty is 18 months from the delivery or 12 months from the commissioning
whichever expires first (Vacon Warranty Terms).
The local distributor may grant a warranty time different from the above. This warranty time shall be
specified in the distributor's sales and warranty terms. Vacon assumes no responsibility for any other
warranties than that granted by Vacon itself.
In all matters concerning the warranty, please contact first your distributor.
4. TECHNICAL DATA
4.1 Introduction
Figure 4-1 presents the block diagram of the Vacon NX frequency converter. The frequency converter
mechanically consists of two units, the Power Unit and the Control Unit. Pictures of the mechanical
assemblage on pages 51 to 58.
The three-phase AC-choke (1) at the mains end together with the DC-link capacitor (2) form an LC-filter,
which, again, together with the diode bridge produce the DC-voltage supply to the IGBT Inverter Bridge (3)
block. The AC-choke also functions as a filter against High Frequency disturbances from the mains as well
as against those caused by the frequency converter to the mains. It, in addition, enhances the waveform of
the input current to the frequency converter. The entire power drawn by the frequency converter from the
mains is active power.
The IGBT Inverter Bridge produces a symmetrical, 3-phase PWM-modulated AC-voltage to the motor.
The Motor and Application Control Block is based on microprocessor software. The microprocessor
controls the motor basing on the information it receives through measurements, parameter settings,
control I/O and control keypad. The motor and application control block controls the motor control ASIC
which, in turn, calculates the IGBT positions. Gate drivers amplify these signals for driving the IGBT
inverter bridge.

*The brake resistor can be installed internally in sizes FR4 to FR6 (NX_2 and NX_5). In all other
frames of voltage classes NX_2 and NX_5, as well as in all frames of all other voltage classes, the
brake resistor is available as option and installed externally.
Brake chopper belongs to the standard equipment in sizes FR4 to FR6, while in greater sizes
(FR7 to FR9) it is optional.
The control keypad constitutes a link between the user and the frequency converter. The control keypad is
used for parameter setting, reading status data and giving control commands. It is detachable and can be
operated externally and connected via a cable to the frequency converter. Instead of the control keypad,
also a PC can be used to control the frequency converter if connected through a similar cable.
You can have your frequency converter equipped with a control I/O board which is either isolated (OPT-A8)
or not isolated (OPT-A1) from the ground.
The basic control interface and the parameters (the Basic Application) are easy to use. If a more versatile
interface or parameters are required, a more suitable application can be chosen from the "All in One+"
Application Package. See the "All in One+" Application Manual for more information on the different
applications.
A brake resistor is available as internal option for frames FR4 to FR6 of voltage classes NX_2 and NX_5. In
all other frames of voltage classes NX_2 and NX_5, as well as in all frames of all other voltage classes, the
brake resistor is available as option and installed externally.
Optional I/O expander boards that increase the number of inputs and outputs to be used are also available.
For closer information, contact the Manufacturer or your local distributor (see back cover).
All sizes are available as IP21/NEMA1. Sizes FR4 to FR9 are additionally available as IP54/NEMA12.
Note: The rated currents in given ambient temperatures are achieved only when the switching frequency is
equal to or less than the factory default.
Note: The rated currents for FR10 to FR12 are all valid at an ambient temperature of 40 °C.
Note: The rated currents in given ambient temperatures are achieved only when the switching frequency is
equal to or less than the factory default.
5. INSTALLATION
5.1 Mounting
The frequency converter can be mounted in either vertical or horizontal position on the wall or on the back
plane of a cubicle. However, if the drive is mounted in a horizontal position, it is not protected against
vertically falling drops of water.
Enough space shall be reserved around the frequency converter in order to ensure a sufficient cooling, see
Figure 5-11, Table 5-10 and Table 5-11. Also see to that the mounting plane is relatively even.
The frequency converter shall be fixed with four screws (or bolts, depending on the unit size). The
dimensions of installation are presented in Figure 5-11 and Table 5-10.
Lift units bigger than FR7 out of the package using a jib crane. Ask the factory or your local distributor for
information on how to lift the unit safely.
Below you will find the dimensions of both wall-mounted as well as flange-mounted Vacon NX frequency
converters. The dimensions of the opening needed in flange mounting are given in Table 5-3 and Table 5-5.
The sizes FR10 to FR12 are floorstanding units. The enclosures are equipped with fixing holes. For dimen-
sions see below.

5.2 Cooling
Enough free space shall be left around the frequency converter to ensure sufficient air circulation, cooling
as well as maintenance. You will find the required dimensions for free space in the tables below.
If several units are mounted above each other the required free space equals C + D (see figure below).
Moreover, the outlet air used for cooling by the lower unit must be directed away from the air intake of the
upper unit.
The amount of cooling air required is indicated below. Also make sure that the temperature of the cooling
air does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature of the converter.

Figure 6-21. NX control board Figure 6-22. Basic and option board connections
on the control board
Usually, when the frequency converter is delivered from the factory, the control unit includes at least the
standard compilation of two basic boards (I/O board and relay board) which are normally installed in slots
A and B. On the next pages you will find the arrangement of the control I/O and the relay terminals of the
two basic boards, the general wiring diagram and the control signal descriptions. The I/O boards mounted
at the factory are indicated in the type code. For more information on the option boards, see Vacon NX
option board manual (ud741).
The control board can be powered externally (+24V, ±10%) by connecting the external power source to
either of the bidirectional terminala #6 or #12, see page 63. This voltage is sufficient for parameter setting
and for keeping the fieldbus active.
Note! If the 24V inputs of several frequency converters are parallelly connected we recommend to use a
diode in terminal #6 (or #12) in order to avoid the current to flow in opposite direction. This might damage
the control board. See picture below.

7. CONTROL KEYPAD
The control keypad is the link between the Vacon frequency converter and the user. The Vacon NX control
keypad features an alphanumeric display with seven indicators for the Run status (RUN, , READY,
STOP, ALARM, FAULT) and three indicators for the control place (I/O term/ Keypad/BusComm). There are
also three Status Indicator LEDs (green - green - red), see Status LEDs (green – green – red) below.
The control information, i.e. the number of menu, description of menu or the displayed value and the
numeric information are presented on three text lines.
The frequency converter is operable through the nine push-buttons of the control keypad. Furthermore,
the buttons serve the purposes of parameter setting and value monitoring.
The keypad is detachable and isolated from the input line potential.

The first menu level consists of menus M1 to M7 and is called the Main menu. The user can navigate in the
main menu using the Browser buttons up and down. The desired submenu can be entered from the main
menu using the Menu buttons. When there still are pages to enter under the currently displayed menu or
page, you can see an arrow ( ) in the lower right corner of the display and by pressing the Menu button
right, you can reach the next menu level.
The control keypad navigation chart is shown on the next page. Please note that the menu M1 is located in
the lower left corner. From there you will be able to navigate your way up to the desired menu using the
menu and browser buttons.

Push the Menu button right once to move into the Parameter Group Menu (G#). Locate the parameter
group desired by using the Browser buttons and push the Menu button right again to enter the group and
its parameters. Use again the Browser buttons to find the parameter (P#) you want to edit. From here you
can proceed in two different ways: Pushing the Menu button right takes you to the edit mode. As a sign of
this, the parameter value starts to blink. You can now change the value in two different manners:
1 Just set the new desired value with the Browser buttons and confirm the change with the Enter
button. Consequently, the blinking stops and the new value is visible in the value field.
2 Push the Menu button right once again. Now you will be able to edit the value digit by digit. This
editing manner may come in handy, when a relatively greater or smaller value than that on the
display is desired. Confirm the change with the Enter button.
The value will not change unless the Enter button is pushed. Pressing the Menu button left takes you
back to the previous menu.
Several parameters are locked, i.e. uneditable, when the drive is in RUN status. If you try to change the
value of such a parameter the text *Locked* will appear on the display. The frequency converter must be
stopped in order to edit these parameters.
The parameters values can also be locked using the function in menu M6 (see Chapter Parameter lock
(P6.5.2)).
You can return to the Main menu anytime by pressing the Menu button left for 3 seconds.
The basic application package "All in One+" includes seven applications with different sets of parameters.
You will find the parameter lists in the Application Section of this manual.
Once in the last parameter of a parameter group, you can move directly to the first parameter of that group
by pushing the Browser button up.

See Figure 7-5 for how to edit the reference value (pressing the Enter button is not, however, necessary).
Note: Additional Information on controlling the motor with the keypad is given in Chapters 7.2.1 and
8.2
NOTE! There are some special functions that can be performed when in menu M3:
start
Select the keypad as the active control place by keeping the button pushed
down for 3 seconds when the motor is running. The keypad will become the active
control place and the current frequency reference and direction will be copied to the
keypad.
stop
Select the keypad as the active control place by keeping the button pushed
down for 3 seconds when the motor is stopped. The keypad will become the active
control place and the current frequency reference and direction will be copied to the
keypad.
Copy the frequency reference set elsewhere (I/O, fieldbus) to the panel by keeping the
enter
button pushed down for 3 seconds.
Note that if you are in any other than M3 menu these functions will not work.
If you are in some other than M3 menu and try to start the motor by pressing the START button
when the keypad is not selected as the active control place you will get an error message Keypad
Control NOT ACTIVE.
When a fault brings the frequency converter to a stop, the location indication F1, the fault code, a short
description of the fault and the fault type symbol (see Chapter 7.3.4.1) will appear on the display. In
addition, the indication FAULT or ALARM (see Figure 7-1 or Chapter 7.1.1) is displayed and, in case of a
FAULT, the red led on the keypad starts to blink. If several faults occur simultaneously, the list of active
faults can be browsed with the Browser buttons.
The memory of active faults can store the maximum of 10 faults in the order of appearance. The display
can be cleared with the Reset button and the read-out will return to the same state it was before the fault
trip. The fault remains active until it is cleared with the Reset button or with a reset signal from the I/O
terminal or fieldbus.
Note! Remove external Start signal before resetting the fault to prevent unintentional restart of the drive.

buttons. Additionally, the Fault time data record pages (see Chapter 7.3.4.3) are accessible at each fault.
You can return to the previous menu anytime by pushing the Menu button left.
The memory of the frequency converter can store a maximum of 30 faults in the order of appearance. The
number of faults currently in the fault history is shown on the value line of the main page (H1 H#). The
order of the faults is indicated by the location indication in the upper left corner of the display. The latest
fault carries the indication F5.1, the second latest F5.2 etc. If there are 30 uncleared faults in the memory
the next occurring fault will erase the oldest from the memory.
Pressing the Enter button for about 2 to 3 seconds resets the whole fault history. Then, the symbol H# will
change to 0.

parameters and press the Enter button. Wait until 'OK' appears on the display.
The procedure to download the parameters from keypad to drive is similar to that of from drive to keypad.
See above.
When the Parameter backup function is activated Vacon NX control keypad makes a copy of the para-
meters of the presently used application. Every time a parameter is changed the keypad backup is
automatically updated.
When applications are changed, you will be asked if you wish the parameters of the new application to be
uploaded to the keypad. For this to happen, push the Enter button. If you wish to keep the copy of the
parameters of the previously used application saved in the keypad push any other button. Now you will be
able to download these parameters to the drive following the instructions given in chapter 7.3.6.3.
If you want the parameters of the new application to be automatically uploaded to the keypad you have to
do this for the parameters of the new application once on page 6.3.2 as instructed. Otherwise the panel
will always ask for the permission to upload the parameters.
Note: Parameters saved in the parameter settings on page S6.3.1 will be deleted when applications are
changed. If you want to transfer the parameters from one application to another you have to upload them
first to the keypad.
The comparison is performed by pushing the Menu button right when in the Compare parameters
submenu. The actual parameter values are first compared to those of the customised parameter Set1. If no
differences are detected a '0' is displayed on the lowermost line. But if any of the parameter values differ
from those of the Set1 the number of the deviations is displayed together with symbol P (e.g. P1 P5 = five
deviating values). By pressing the Menu button right once again you can still enter the pages where you can
see both the actual value and the value it was compared to. In this display, the value on the Description line
(in the middle) is the default value and the one on the value line (lowermost) is the edited value.
Furthermore, you can also edit the actual value with the Browser buttons in the edit mode that you can
reach by pushing the Menu button right once again.
In the same way, you can perform the comparison of the actual values to Set2, Factory Settings and Keypad
Set.

If the frequency converter has been connected to the PC via a modem and there is delay in transferring
messages, the value of par. 6.7.3 must be set according to the delay as follows:
Example:
• Transfer delay between the frequency converter and the PC = 600 ms
• The value of par. 6.7.3 is set to 1200 ms (2 x 600, sending delay + receiving delay)
• The corresponding setting shall be entered in the [Misc]-part of the file NCDrive.ini:
Retries = 5

requirements of your application. At least the following parameters should be set:
- motor nominal voltage
- motor nominal frequency
- motor nominal speed
- motor nominal current
You will find the values needed for the parameters on the motor rating plate.
8 Perform run test without motor
Perform either Test A or Test B:
A Controls from the I/O terminals:
a) Turn the Start/Stop switch to ON position.
b) Change the frequency reference (potentiometer)
c) Check in the Monitoring menu M1 that the value of Output frequency changes according to
the change of frequency reference.
d) Turn the Start/Stop switch to OFF position.

d) Check in the Monitoring menu M1 that the value of Output frequency changes according to
the change of frequency reference.
stop
e) Push the Stop button on the keypad .
9 Run the start-up tests without the motor being connected to the process, if possible. If this is not
possible, secure the safety of each test prior to running it. Inform your co-workers of the tests.
a) Switch off the supply voltage and wait up until the drive has stopped as advised at Chapter 8.1,
step 5.
b) Connect the motor cable to the motor and to the motor cable terminals of the frequency
converter.
c) See to that all Start/Stop switches are in Stop positions.
d) Switch the mains ON
e) Repeat test 8A or 8B.
10 Connect the motor to the process (if the startup test was run without the motor being connected)
a) Before running the tests, make sure that this can be done safely.
b) Inform your co-workers of the tests.
c) Repeat test 8A or 8B.
9. FAULT TRACING
When a fault is detected by the frequency converter control electronics, the drive is stopped and the
symbol F together with the ordinal number of the fault, the fault code and a short fault description appear
on the display. The fault can be reset with the Reset button on the control keypad or via the I/O terminal.
The faults are stored in the Fault history menu (M5) which can be browsed. The different fault codes you
will find in the table below.
The fault codes, their causes and correcting actions are presented in the table below. The shadowed faults
are A faults only. The items written in white on black background present faults for which you can program
different responses in the application. See parameter group Protections.
Note: When contacting distributor or factory because of a fault condition, always write down all texts and
codes on the keypad display.

1. BASIC APPLICATION
1.1 Introduction
The Basic Application is easy and flexible to use due to its versatile fieldbus features. It is the default
setting on delivery from the factory. Otherwise select the Basic Application in menu M6 on page
S6.2. See the product's User's Manual.(Trend Installation Manual Part3)
The parameters of the Basic Application are explained in Chapter 8 of the NX Application Manual.
The explanations are arranged according to the individual ID number of the parameter.
Unlike the other applications, the Basic Application does not provide any parameters for choosing
the response function or limit values for the faults. The motor thermal protection is explained in more
detail on page 184 of the NX Application Manual.
