Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Mount in suitable enclosure.

  1. Mounting: Secure to flat surface using provided mounting holes.
  2. Power wiring: Connect L1, L2 for single-phase input; U, V, W for motor output.
  3. Control wiring: Connect start/stop signals, speed reference inputs.
  4. Grounding: Ensure proper grounding for safety and noise reduction.

WARNING! Disconnect power before installation. Ensure proper ventilation for cooling.

First-Time Setup

Apply power; initialize basic parameters.

  1. Motor data setup: Enter motor rated voltage, current, and frequency.
  2. Operating mode: Select V/F control or sensorless vector control.
  3. Acceleration/deceleration: Set ramp times according to application.
  4. Frequency limits: Set minimum and maximum operating frequencies.

CAUTION! Verify motor parameters before operation to prevent damage.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Access parameters via keypad or external controls. Front Panel: RUN/STOP, PROG/ESC, UP/DOWN, RESET.

Keypad Functions: RUN/STOP, Parameter navigation, Value adjustment, Fault reset.

Basic Parameters: Acceleration time (P01), Deceleration time (P02), Maximum frequency (P03), Base frequency (P04). Motor Parameters: Rated voltage (P05), Rated current (P06), Number of poles (P07). Control Parameters: Operating mode selection (P08), Stop method (P09).

Connecting Devices

Power: L1, L2 input; U, V, W motor output. Control: Digital inputs, analog inputs, relay outputs.

  1. Disconnect all power before wiring.
  2. Connect motor wires to U, V, W terminals.
  3. Wire control signals according to application requirements.
  4. Connect ground wire to chassis ground terminal.

Tip: Use shielded cables for control wiring to reduce noise interference.

Operating Modes

Supports V/F control and sensorless vector control.

  1. Keypad operation: Use RUN/STOP and speed potentiometer.
  2. External control: Use digital inputs for remote operation.
  3. Multi-speed operation: Program up to 7 preset speeds.
  4. PID control: For process control applications.
  5. Jog operation: For precise positioning.
  6. DC braking: For quick stopping.
  7. Auto restart: Automatic restart after power recovery.
  8. Frequency jump: Avoid mechanical resonance frequencies.

WARNING! Do not change parameters while motor is running unless necessary.

Protection Features

Overcurrent Protection: Trips at 150% of rated current for 1 minute. Overload Protection: Electronic thermal protection based on motor current. Overvoltage/Undervoltage: Protects against power supply variations. Overtemperature: Monitors internal temperature and reduces output if overheating.

Maintenance & Care

Disconnect power before maintenance. Clean exterior with dry cloth; check terminal tightness periodically.

CAUTION! Do not use compressed air for cleaning as it may drive dust inside the unit.

Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
No display on keypadPower supplyCheck input voltage; verify power connections.
Motor not runningControl wiring/parametersCheck start signal; verify run command source.
Overcurrent faultMotor/load issuesCheck for motor short; reduce load; increase acceleration time.
Overvoltage faultRegeneration/brakingIncrease deceleration time; add braking resistor if needed.
OvertemperatureCooling/ambient temperatureEnsure adequate ventilation; clean cooling fins.

Reset: Press RESET button after fault condition is cleared.
