1.1 Warnings The components of the power unit of the frequency converter are live when Vacon 10 is connected to mains potential. Com- ing into contact with this voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury. The control unit is isolated from the mains potential.
Page 5
After disconnecting the frequency converter from the mains, wait until the fan stops and the indicators on the display go out. Wait 5 more minutes before doing any work on Vacon 10 connections. 24-hour support +358 (0)40 837 1150 • Email: vacon@vacon.com...
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 conduc- tor connected to the earthing terminal.
Before reversing the motor shaft rotation direction make sure that this can be done safely. Make sure that no power correction capacitors are connected to the motor cable. 24-hour support +358 (0)40 837 1150 • Email: vacon@vacon.com...

The local distributor may grant a warranty time different from the above. This war- ranty time shall be specified in the distributor's sales and warranty terms. Vacon as- sumes no responsibility for any other warranties than that granted by Vacon itself.
3. INSTALLATION 3.1 Mechanical installation There are two possible ways to mount Vacon 10 in the wall; either screw or DIN-rail mounting. The mounting dimensions are given on the back of the drive and on the fol- lowing page.
3.1.3 EMC levels Vacon 10 frequency converters are divided 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 de- fined in the type designation code.
Category C4 (Vacon EMC class N): The drives of this class do not provide EMC emis- sion protection. These kinds of drives are mounted in enclosures. NOTE: An external EMC filter is usually required to fulfil the EMC emission requirements.

7. CONTROL PANEL 7.1 General The Vacon 10 API Full and API Limited versions have similar control panels. The panel is integrated to the drive consisting of corresponding application card and an overlay on the drive cover with status display and button clarifications.
Stop button button Figure 7.1: Vacon 10 Control panel 7.3 Keypad The keypad section of the control panel consists of a navigation wheel and START and STOP buttons (see Figure 7.1). The navigation wheel is used for navigating on the panel display, but it also works as a reference potentiometer when KEYPAD has been selected as the control place of the drive.

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.

Local = Keypad is the control place Remote = P2.1 defines the control place TART 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 (P4.2).
Page 54
• vacon parameter descriptions TOP FUNCTION Two stop functions can be selected in this application: 0 = Coasting The motor coasts to a halt without control from the frequency convert- er after the Stop command. 1 = Ramp stop After the Stop command, the speed of the motor is decelerated ac- cording to the set deceleration parameters.
Page 55
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 refer- ence signal. 24-hour support +358 (0)40 837 1150 • Email: vacon@vacon.com...

9.8 Motor thermal protection (parameters 9.7 - 9.10) The motor thermal protection is to protect the motor from overheating. The Vacon drive is capable of supplying higher than nominal current to the motor. If the load re- quires this high current there is a risk that the motor will be thermally overloaded.
