THEORY

DESCRIPTION OF AC MOTOR OPERATION


Three phase AC motors are comprised of two major components, the stator and the rotor. The stator is a
set of three electrical windings held stationary in the motor housing. The rotor is a metal cylinder, fixed to
the motor drive shaft, which rotates within the stator. The arrangement of the stator coils and the presence
of three phase AC voltage give rise to a rotating magnetic field which drives the rotor. The speed at which
the magnetic field rotates is known as the synchronous speed of the motor. Synchronous speed is a function
of the frequency at which the voltage is alternating and the number of poles in the stator windings.
The following equation gives the relation between synchronous speed, frequency, and the number of poles:
Ss = 120 f/p
Where: Ss = Synchronous speed (rpm), f = frequency (Hz),
p = number of poles
In three phase induction motors the actual shaft speed differs from the synchronous speed as load is applied.
This difference is known as "slip". Slip is commonly expressed as a percentage of synchronous speed. A
typical value is three percent at full load.
The strength of the magnetic field in the gap between the rotor and stator is proportional to the amplitude
of the voltage at a given frequency. The output torque capability of the motor is, therefore, a function of the
applied voltage amplitude at a given frequency. When operated below base (rated) speed, AC motors run in
the range of "constant torque". Constant torque output is obtained by maintaining a constant ratio between
voltage amplitude (Volts) and frequency (Hertz). For 60 Hz motors rated at 230, 460, and 575 Vac,
common values for this V/Hz ratio are 3.83, 7.66, and 9.58 respectively. Operating with these V/Hz ratios
generally yields optimum torque capability. Operating at lower ratio values results in lower torque and
power capability. Operating at higher ratio values will cause the motor to overheat. Most standard motors
are capable of providing full torque output from 3 to 60 Hz. However, at lower speeds, where motor
cooling fans become less effective, supplemental cooling may be needed to operate at full torque output
continuously.

13

If the frequency applied to the motor is increased while the voltage remains constant, torque capability will
decrease as speed increases. This will cause the horsepower capability of the motor to remain approximately
constant. Motors run in this mode when operated above base speed, where drive output voltage is limited
by the input line voltage. This operating range is known as the "constant horsepower" range. The typical
maximum range for constant horsepower is about 2.3 to 1 (60 to 140 Hz). The diagram below depicts the
operating characteristics of a typical AC induction motor with a 60 Hz base speed.

Consult motor manufacturer before operating motor and/or driven equipment above base speed.

VARIABLE TORQUE VS CONSTANT TORQUE


Variable frequency drives, and the loads they are applied to, can generally be divided into two groups:
constant torque and variable torque. Constant torque loads include: vibrating conveyors, punch presses,
rock crushers, machine tools, and just about every other application that is not considered variable torque.
Variable torque loads include centrifugal pumps and fans, which make up the majority of HVAC
applications.
Variable torque loads are governed by the affinity laws, which define the relationships between speed, flow,
torque, and horsepower. The diagram below illustrates these relationships:

"Variable torque" refers to the fact that the torque required varies with the square of the speed. Also, the
horsepower required varies with the cube of the speed, resulting in a large reduction in horsepower for even
a small reduction in speed. It is easily seen that substantial energy savings can be achieved by reducing
the speed of a fan or pump. For example, reducing the speed to 50% results in a 50 HP motor having to
produce only 12.5% of rated horsepower, or 6.25 HP. Variable torque drives usually have a low overload
capacity (110% - 120% for 60 seconds), because variable torque applications rarely experience overload
conditions. To optimize efficiency and energy savings, variable torque drives are usually programmed to
follow a variable V/Hz ratio.
The term "constant torque" is not entirely accurate in terms of the actual torque required for an application.
Many constant torque applications have reciprocating loads, such as vibrating conveyors and punch presses,
where the rotational motion of the motor is being converted to a linear motion. In such cases, the torque
required can vary greatly at different points in the cycle. For constant torque loads, this fluctuation in torque
is not a direct function of speed, as it is with a variable torque load. As a result, constant torque drives
typically have a high overload rating (150% for 60 seconds) in order to handle the higher peak torque
demands. To achieve maximum torque, constant torque drives follow a constant V/Hz ratio.
MICRO Series product lines have full overload capacity (150% for 60 seconds, 180% for 30 seconds), so
that either one can be used for either type of application. The V/Hz ratio can also be changed to optimize
performance for either type of application.
6.2

DRIVE FUNCTION DESCRIPTION


The MICRO Series is a 16 bit microprocessor based, keypad programmable, variable speed AC motor drive.
There are four major sections; an input diode bridge and a filter, a power board, a control board, and an
output intelligent power module.

6.2.1

DRIVE OPERATION
Incoming AC line voltage is converted to a pulsating DC voltage by the input diode bridge. The DC
voltage is supplied to the bus filter capacitors through a charge circuit which limits inrush current to the
capacitors during power-up. The pulsating DC voltage is filtered by the bus capacitors which reduces
the ripple level. The filtered DC voltage enters the inverter section of the drive, composed of six output
intelligent insulated gate bi-polar transistors (IGBT's) which make up the three output legs of the drive.
Each leg has one intelligent IGBT connected to the positive bus voltage and one connected to the negative
bus voltage. Alternately switching on each leg, the intelligent IGBT produces an alternating voltage on each
of the corresponding motor windings. By switching each output intelligent IGBT at a very high frequency
(known as the carrier frequency) for varying time intervals, the inverter is able to produce a smooth, three
phase, sinusoidal output current wave which optimizes motor performance.

6.2.2

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The control section consists of a control board with a 16 bit microprocessor, keypad and display. Drive
programming is accomplished via the keypad or the serial communications port. During operation the drive
can be controlled via the keypad, by control devices wired to the control terminal strip, or by the serial
communications port. The Power Board contains the control and protection circuits which govern the six
output IGBT's. The Power Board also contains a charging circuit for the bus filter capacitors, a motor
current feedback circuit, a voltage feedback circuit, and a fault signal circuit. The drive has several built in
protection circuits. These include phase-to-phase and phase-to ground short circuit protection, high
and low line voltage protection, protection against excessive ambient temperature, and protection against
continuous excessive output current. Activation of any of these circuits will cause the drive to shut down in
a fault condition.

15

6.2.3

MC1000 INPUTS AND OUTPUTS


The drive has two analog inputs (0-10 VDC and 4-20 mA) that can be used for speed reference, PID
setpoint reference, or PID feedback. A speed potentiometer (10,000 Ohm) can be used with the 0-10 VDC
input.
There are also two analog outputs: one is proportional to speed (frequency), and the other is proportional
to load.
The drive has three programmable outputs for status indication: one Form C relay and two open-collector
outputs.
Refer to Sections 14.0 - CONTROL WIRING and 15.0 - CONTROL WIRING DIAGRAMS for more
information.

16

The following describes the possible relay output settings:


NONE

This setting disables the relay output.

RUN

The relay energizes when the drive is given a START command, and remains
energized until: a STOP command is given and the output frequency has
decelerated to 0.5 Hz, the drive has "tripped", or the input voltage is removed.
Note that this relay indicates only that the drive is in the RUN mode. It does not
necessarily indicate that the motor is turning.

FAULT

The relay energizes when input voltage is applied to the drive and remains
energized until the drive "trips" into a fault condition, or input voltage is removed.

/FAULT

INVERSE FAULT - The relay energizes when the drive trips into a fault
condition, and remains energized until the fault condition is cleared.

LOCK

FAULT LOCKOUT - This relay is used when the drive is programmed to


automatically restart after a fault. The relay energizes when input voltage is applied
to the drive and remains energized until the drive has faulted and unsuccessfully
attempted five restarts, or input voltage is removed.

@SPEED

AT SPEED - The relay energizes when the drive reaches the commanded
frequency. To avoid a "chattering" relay (constantly energizing and de-energizing),
due to small fluctuations in speed. the relay will change states only when the
actual speed and the speed setpoint differ by 3 Hz.

ABOVE #3

The relay energizes when the output frequency of the drive exceeds the value
corresponding to the SPEED #3 value, and de-energizes when the output
frequency returns to a value lower than the SPEED #3 value. See Parameter 3 SPEED #3 in Section 18.0 - DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS.

I LIMIT

CURRENT LIMIT - The relay energizes when the drive is operating in


current limit. Once the current limit relay is energized, it remains energized for a
minimum of 500ms, regardless of whether the drive is still in current limit. At the
end of the 500ms interval, the relay will de-energize if the drive is no longer in
current limit. See Parameter 16 - CURRENT in Section 18.0 - DESCRIPTION
OF PARAMETERS.

AUT/MAN

The relay energizes when the drive is in the AUTOMATIC mode, and
de-energizes in the MANUAL mode. Refer to Section 14.2.6 - SPEED
REFERENCE SELECTION.

INSTALLATION

WARNING

DRIVES MUST NOT BE INSTALLED WHERE SUBJECTED TO ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! DRIVES MUST NOT BE INSTALLED WHERE
SUBJECTED TO: COMBUSTIBLE, OILY, OR HAZARDOUS VAPORS OR DUST;
EXCESSIVE MOISTURE OR DIRT; STRONG VIBRATION; EXCESSIVE AMBIENT
TEMPERATURES. CONSULT LEESON FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE
SUITABILITY OF A DRIVE TO A PARTICULAR ENVIRONMENT.

The drive should be mounted on a smooth vertical surface capable of safely supporting the unit without
vibrating. The LCD display has an optimum field of view, this should be considered when determining the
mounting position.
Chassis models must be installed in an electrical enclosure which will provide complete mechanical
protection and maintain uniform internal temperature within the drive's ambient operating temperature
rating. All drive models MUST be mounted in a vertical position for proper heatsink cooling. Fans or
blowers should be used to insure proper cooling in tight quarters. Do not mount drives above other drives
or heat producing equipment that would impede the cooling of the drive. Note the ambient operating
temperature ratings for each drive model.
Maintain a minimum spacing around the drive as follows:

If it is necessary to drill or cut the drive enclosure or panel, extreme care must be taken to avoid damaging
drive components or contaminating the drive with metal fragments (which cause shorting of electrical
circuits). Cover drive components with a clean cloth to keep out metal chips and other debris. Use a
vacuum cleaner to clean drive components after drilling, even if chips do not appear to be present. Do not
attempt to use positive air pressure to blow chips out of drive, as this tends to lodge debris under electronic
components. Contaminating the drive with metal chips can cause drive failure and will void the warranty.

18

7.1

INSTALLATION AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF STORAGE

WARNING

Severe damage to the drive can result if it is operated after a long period of storage or inactivity
without reforming the DC bus capacitors!

If input power has not been applied to the drive for a period of time exceeding 6 months (due to storage,
etc), the electrolytic DC bus capacitors within the drive can change internally, resulting in excessive leakage
current. This can result in premature failure of the capacitors if the drive is operated after such a long
period of inactivity or storage. In order to reform the capacitors and prepare the drive for operation after a
long period of inactivity, apply input power to the drive for 2 hours prior to actually operating the
drive/motor system.
7.2

EXPLOSION PROOF APPLICATIONS


Explosion proof motors that are not rated for inverter use lose their certification when used for variable
speed. Due to the many areas of liability that may be encountered when dealing with these applications, the
following statement of policy applies:
"LEESON Electric inverter products are sold with no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or
warranty of suitability for use with explosion proof motors. LEESON Electric accepts no
responsibility for any direct, or incidental or consequential loss, cost, or damage that may arise
through the use of its AC inverter products in these applications. The purchaser expressly agrees to
assume all risk of any loss, cost, or damage that may arise from such application. LEESON Electric
or LEESON Electric's engineering department will not knowingly approve applications involving

INPUT AC REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

Hazard of electrical shock. Disconnect incoming power and wait three minutes before servicing
the drive. Capacitors retain charge after power is removed.

8.1

INPUT AC POWER REQUIREMENTS

8.1.1

VOLTAGE:
The input voltage must match the drive's nameplate voltage rating. Voltage fluctuation must not vary by
greater than 10% overvoltage or 15% undervoltage.
NOTE: Drives with dual rated input voltage must be programmed for the proper supply voltage - see
Parameter 0 - LINE VOLTS in Section 18.0 - DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS SECTION.
The drive is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 18,000 rms symmetrical
amperes, at the drive's rated voltage. Three phase voltage imbalance must be less than 2.0% phase to phase.
Excessive phase to phase imbalance can cause severe damage to the drive's power components.
Motor voltage should match line voltage in normal applications. The drive's maximum output voltage will
equal the input voltage. Use extreme caution when using a motor with a voltage rating which is different
from the input line voltage.

8.1.2

SUPPLY TRANSFORMER kVA RATINGS:


If the kVA rating of the AC supply transformer is greater than ten times the input kVA rating of the drive,
a drive isolation transformer, or a 2 - 3% input line reactor (also known as a choke) must be added.

8.2

INPUT FUSING AND DISCONNECT REQUIREMENTS


A circuit breaker or a disconnect switch with fuses must be provided in accordance with the National Electric
Code (NEC) and all local codes.
The MICRO Series drive is capable of withstanding up to 150% current overload for 60 seconds. Select a
fuse or magnetic trip circuit breaker rated at 1.5 times the input current rating of the drive (the minimum
size should be 10 amps, regardless of input current rating). Refer to Section 5.0 - DRIVE RATINGS.
Minimum voltage rating of the protection device should be; 250 VAC for 240/120 VAC and 240/200 VAC
rated drives, and 600 VAC for 480/400 VAC and 590 VAC drives.
Current limiting type fuses should be used when input fusing is required. Select Class CC or Class T fuses
with low I2T value, rated at 2,000,000 AIC. Recommended fuses are Bussman type KTK-R, JJN, JJS or
equivalent. Similar fuses with equivalent ratings by other manufacturers may also be acceptable.

NOTE: Parameter 0 - LINE VOLTS must be programmed according to the applied input voltage. See
Section 18.0 - DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS.

10.0 POWER WIRING


WARNING

Hazard of electrical shock. Disconnect incoming power and wait three minutes before servicing
the drive. Capacitors retain charge after power is removed.

Note drive input and output current ratings and check applicable electrical codes for required wire type and
size, grounding requirements, over-current protection, and incoming power disconnect, before wiring the
drive. Size conservatively to minimize voltage drop.
Input fusing and a power disconnect switch or contactor MUST be wired in series with terminals L1,
L2, and L3 (L1 and L2 if input is single phase). If one has not been supplied by LEESON Electric, a
disconnect means must be wired during installation. This disconnect must be used to power down the drive
when servicing, or when the drive is not to be operated for a long period of time, but should not be used to
start and stop the motor. Repetitive cycling of a disconnect or input contactor (more than once every two
minutes) may cause damage to the drive.
10.1

WIRING FOR SINGLE PHASE OR THREE PHASE INPUT


If the drive is nameplated for 240/120 VAC single phase input, wire the input to terminals L1 and N and
jumper terminals L1 to L2 for 120 Vac input voltage, or wire to terminals L1 and L2 (do not wire to N) for
240 Vac input voltage. Refer to Section 11.0 - MICRO SERIES POWER WIRING DIAGRAM.
If the drive is nameplated for three phase input only, wire the input to terminals L1, L2, and L3.
All three power output wires, from terminals T1, T2, and T3 to the motor, must be kept tightly bundled
and run in a separate conduit away from all other power and control wiring.
Do not install contactors between the drive and motor without consulting LEESON Electric for more
information.

22

12.0 INITIAL POWER UP


WARNING

Hazard of electrical shock. Disconnect incoming power and wait three minutes before servicing
the drive. Capacitors retain charge after power is removed.

Before attempting to operate the drive, motor, and driven equipment be sure all procedures pertaining to
installation and wiring have been properly followed.

WARNING

Severe damage to the drive can result if it is operated after a long period of storage or inactivity
without reforming the DC bus capacitors!

If input power has not been applied to the drive for a period of time exceeding 6 months (due to storage,
etc), the electrolytic DC bus capacitors within the drive can change internally, resulting in excessive leakage
current. This can result in premature failure of the capacitors if the drive is operated after such a long
period of inactivity or storage.
In order to reform the capacitors and prepare the drive for operation after a long period of inactivity, apply
input power to the drive for 2 hours prior to actually operating the drive/motor system.
Disconnect the driven load from the motor. Verify that the drive input terminals (L1, L2, and L3) are wired
to the proper input voltage per the nameplate rating of the drive.

WARNING

DO NOT connect incoming AC power to output terminals T1, T2, and T3! Do not cycle input
power to the drive more than once every two minutes. Damage to the drive will result.

Energize the incoming power line. The LCD display should light and flash "TESTING" and then show the
voltage and horsepower rating of the drive. The display should then show "STOP >20.00 HZ" which
indicates that the drive is stopped, forward direction is selected, and the speed setpoint is 20.00 Hz:

If the display does not appear, remove the incoming power, wait three minutes for the bus capacitors to
discharge, and verify correct installation and wiring. If the wiring is correct, re-apply incoming power and
note the display for drive status. If the display still does not appear call the factory for assistance. If the drive
powers up correctly, follow the procedure given below to check the motor rotation:
1.

Use the "Down" arrow key to decrease the speed setpoint to the minimum value allowed (.50 Hz if
Parameter 10 - MIN FRQ has not been changed).

2.

Press the "START" key. The drive should indicate RUN, but if the speed setpoint is .50 Hz, the motor
may not rotate. Press the "UP" arrow key to increase the speed setpoint until the motor starts to rotate.

3.

If the motor is rotating in the wrong direction, press the "STOP" key, remove power from the
drive, wait three minutes for the bus capacitors to discharge, and swap any two of the motor wires connected to T1, T2, and T3.

NOTE: The drive is phase insensitive with respect to incoming line voltage. Therefore, to change the motor
rotation, the phases must be swapped at the drive output terminals or at the motor.

23

13.0 KEYPAD CONTROL


The drive can be operated in a number of different ways: keypad (LOCAL), control devices wired to the
terminal strip (REMOTE), or a combination of the terminal strip and the keypad. The drive should first be
operated from the keypad during initial start-up. Refer to Sections 14.0 - CONTROL WIRING, and 18.0

14.0 CONTROL WIRING


14.1

GENERAL

14.1.1 KEYPAD CONTROL


The drive can be controlled by the keypad or by control devices wired to the terminal strip. The drive will
run from the keypad "out of the box", requiring no connections to the terminal strip. Refer to Section 13.0
- KEYPAD CONTROL.
14.1.2 CONTROL WIRING VS. POWER WIRING
External control wiring MUST be run in a separate conduit away from all other input and output power
wiring. If control wiring is not kept separate from power wiring, electrical noise may be generated on the
control wiring that will cause erratic drive behavior. Use twisted wires or shielded cable grounded at the drive
chassis ONLY. Recommended control wire is Belden 8760 (2-wire) or 8770 (3-wire), or equivalent.
Torque the control terminals to 2 lb-in (0.2 Nm). Be careful not to overtorque the control terminals, as this
will cause damage to the terminal strip. This is not covered under warranty and can only be repaired by
replacing the control board.
14.1.3 TB-2: CIRCUIT COMMON
The TB-2 terminals are used as circuit common for the start/stop, forward/reverse, input select,
local/remote, analog input, and analog output functions. There are three TB-2 terminals available on the
terminal strip, and they are all internally connected to each other on the main control board. If necessary
TB-2 may be connected to chassis ground.
NOTE: TB-2 MUST be connected to chassis ground when using serial communications.
14.1.4 SURGE SUPPRESSION ON RELAYS
Current and voltage surges and spikes in the coils of contactors, relays, and solenoids, etc, near or
connected to the drive, can cause erratic drive operation. Therefore, a snubber circuit should be used on coils
associated with the drive. For AC coils, snubbers shoud consist of a resistor and a capacitor in series across
the coil. For DC coils, a free-wheeling or flyback diode should be placed across the coil. Snubbers are
typically available from the manufacturer of the device.

14.2

START/STOP AND SPEED CONTROL

14.2.1 REMOTE MODE SELECTION


The REMOTE mode can be selected by one of two methods:
1.

Program Parameter 30 - CONTROL to REMOTE, or:

2.

Program CONTROL to BOTH, set the TB-13A or TB-13C function (see Parameter 47 or 49) to
LOCAL SELECT, and DO NOT make a contact closure between TB-13A or TB-13C and TB-2
(making the contact closure will select LOCAL mode).

WARNING

If CONTROL is set to LOCAL, TB-1 is disabled and CANNOT be used as a STOP switch!
Incorrect use of TB-1 may result in damage to equipment and/or injury to personnel! See
Parameter 30 - CONTROL.

WARNING

STOP (TB-1) and EXTERNAL FAULT (TB-13D) circuitry may be disabled if parameters are
reset to factory defaults! The drive must be reprogrammed after a RESET in order to insure
proper operation (see Parameter 65 - PROGRAM).
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT AND/OR INJURY
TO PERSONNEL!

14.2.2 TWO-WIRE START/STOP CONTROL


A two-wire start/stop circuit can be accomplished by one of three methods on the MICRO Series drive.
Follow the appropriate procedure listed below:
FORWARD ROTATION ONLY
1.

Select REMOTE mode (see 14.2.1).

2.

direction, the drive will decelerate to 0 Hz and then accelerate back to the speed setpoint in the opposite
direction.
FORWARD and REVERSE ROTATION with ONE START CONTACT
1.

Follow 1-4 above and wire a normally open momentary contact between TB-2 and the common of a
single-pole, double-throw toggle switch. Wire the poles of the toggle switch to TB-12A and TB-13C.
Refer to the wiring diagram in Section 15.3.

33

14.2.5 SPEED REFERENCE SIGNALS


The drive allows for three analog speed reference inputs: a speed potentiometer (10,000 Ohm), 0-10 VDC,
or 4-20 mA.
SPEED POT

Connect the wiper to terminal TB-5A, and connect the high and low end leads to
terminals TB-6 and TB-2, respectively.

0-10 VDC

Wire the positive to terminal TB-5A and the negative to terminal TB-2. TB-5A input
impedance is 200 kilohms.

4-20 mA

Wire the positive to terminal TB-5B and the negative to terminal TB-2. TB-5B input
impedance is 100 ohms.

NOTE: When an external speed reference signal (remote speed pot, 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA signal) is used,
minimum and maximum speed references are determined by the user programmed or default settings in
parameters 39 (TB-5 MIN) and 40 (TB-5 MAX), not parameter 10 (MIN FRQ) or 11 (MAX FRQ).
14.2.6 SPEED REFERENCE SELECTION
AUTO/MAN vs. LOCAL/REMOTE
In the MICRO Series drive, AUTO/MAN refers to speed control, and LOCAL/REMOTE refers to
START/STOP control. AUTOMATIC or MANUAL speed control selection is affected by whether the
drive is in LOCAL or REMOTE mode.
In LOCAL mode (keypad start/stop control), AUTOMATIC and MANUAL speed control is selected using
Parameter 28 - AUTO/MAN. When set to BOTH, the AUTO/MAN button the keypad is active and is
used to toggle between MANUAL (keypad or speed pot) and AUTOMATIC (0-10 VDC, 4-20 mA, or
preset speeds) speed control. When set to MANUAL, speed control is governed by Parameter 29 MANUAL, which selects either KEYPAD or 0-10 VDC (speed pot). When set to AUTOMATIC, one of
the TB-13 input selects must be set to the desired speed reference, and that terminal must be closed to
TB-2. The drive will then respond to the automatic speed reference. If one of the TB-13 input selects is set
for a speed reference, and the contact closure is not made to TB-2, speed control will remain in AUTO
mode, but the drive will respond to the keypad or speed pot, depending on Parameter 29 - MANUAL.
Therefore, if the Form C relay or open-collector outputs are set to indicate AUTO/MAN mode, they will
still indicate AUTO mode.
In REMOTE mode (terminal strip start/stop control), speed control is selected using the TB-13 input
selects. For AUTOMATIC speed control, one of the TB-13 input selects must be set to the desired speed
reference, and that terminal must be closed to TB-2. The drive will then respond to the automatic speed
reference. If none of the TB-13 input selects are closed to TB-2, speed control will default to MANUAL
mode, and the drive will respond to the keypad or speed pot, depending on Parameter 29 - MANUAL. This
will cause the Form C relay or open-collector outputs to indicate MANUAL mode if set to indicate
AUTO/MAN mode.
0 - 10 VDC and 4 - 20 mA INPUT SIGNALS
TB-13A, TB-13B, and TB-13C can all be programmed for 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA input.
PRESET SPEEDS
TB-13A can be set to SPEED #1, TB-13B to SPEED #2, and TB-13C to SPEED #3. Closing any two of
these terminals to TB-2 will select SPEED #4. Refer to Parameters 1-4: SPEED #1 - #4 in Section 18.0 DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS.

34

JOG
The JOG function only works when the drive is in REMOTE mode, and only when the drive is in a STOP
condition. TB-13B can be programmed for either JOG FORWARD or JOG REVERSE. The jog speed is
set by PRESET SPEED #2. Close TB-13B to TB-2 to JOG, and open the contact to STOP.

WARNING

When operating in JOG mode, the STOP key WILL NOT stop the drive. To stop the drive, the
contact between TB-13B and TB-2 must be opened.

MOP - MOTOR OPERATED POT


TB-13A and TB-13B are used for this function, which sets the speed of the drive using contacts wired to
the terminal strip. Set TB-13A for DEC FREQ, and set TB-13B for INC FREQ. Closing TB-13A to
TB-2 will activate the DEC FREQ function, and will cause the speed setpoint to decrease until the contact
is opened. DEC FREQ will operate when the drive is in RUN mode or STOP mode. Closing TB-13B to
TB-2 will activate the INC FREQ function, and will cause the speed setpoint to increase until the contact
is opened. INC FREQ will only operate when the drive is in RUN mode.
NOTE: If TB-13A, TB-13B, and TB-13C are all programmed for speed references, and two or three of the
terminals are closed to TB-2, the higher terminal has priority and will override the others. For example,
if TB-13A is programmed for 0-10 VDC, and TB-13C is programmed for PRESET SPEED #1, closing
both terminals to TB-2 will cause the drive to respond to PRESET SPEED #1, because TB-13C overrides
TB-13A.
14.2.7 ANALOG OUTPUT SIGNALS
There are two terminals that can supply analog output signals proportional to output frequency or load.
Terminal TB-10A can provide a 0-10 VDC or a 2-10 VDC signal proportional to output frequency, and
TB-10B can provide the same signals proportional to load. The 2-10 VDC signals can be converted to a
4-20 mA signal using a 500 ohms resistor in series with the signal. See Parameters: 42 - TB10A OUT, 43 @TB10A, 44 - TB10B OUT, and 45 - @TB10B in Section 18.0 - DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS.
NOTE: These analog output signals cannot be used with "loop-powered" devices that deride power from a
4-20 mA signal.
14.2.8 DRIVE STATUS OUTPUT CONTACTS
The control board has one FORM C relay at terminals TB-16, TB-17, and TB- 18. Contacts are rated 2
amps at 28 VDC or 120 Vac.
There are also two open-collector outputs at terminals TB-14 and TB-15. The open-collector circuit is a
current sinking type rated at 30 VDC and 40 mA maximum. An external power supply (30 VDC max) must
be used to power the open-collector outputs. The drive does not have a dedicated power supply for the
open-collector outputs.
The FORM C relay and the open collector outputs can be programmed to indicate any of the following:
RUN, FAULT, /FAULT (INVERSE FAULT), LOCK (FAULT LOCKOUT), AT SPEED, ABOVE #3,
I LIMIT (CURRENT LIMIT), or AUTO/MAN. See Parameters: 52 - TB14 OUT, 53 - TB15 OUT, and
54 - RELAY. Refer to Section 6.2.5 for a complete description of each of these status indications.

parameter matches the number of the terminal, allowing quick and easy programming of the terminals to
suite the application. The exception is TB-16 and TB-18, which are governed by Parameter 54 - RELAY.
A complete description of operating the drive in the REMOTE mode can be found in Section 14.2. The
following diagrams provide a quick reference to wire the drive for the most common configurations.

drive will respond to the selected speed reference signal. In the diagram above, TB-13A is programmed
to select either a 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA signal.

4.

If the contact closure is not made between TB-13A and TB-2 to select a speed reference, the drive will
default to MANUAL speed control, which is determined by Parameter 29 - MANUAL.

the preset speed terminals to TB-2.

4.

Speed pot control can be selected by one of two methods. If none of the preset speeds are selected (all
TB-13 terminals are open), the drive will default to speed pot control if Parameter 29 - MANUAL is
set to 0-10 VDC. The speed pot can also be selected if one of the TB-13 terminals is programmed to
select 0-10 VDC and that terminal is closed to TB-2.

5.

If REVERSE rotation is required, TB-13C cannot be used to select SPEED #3. TB-13C must be
programmed to select RUN REVERSE or START REVERSE, leaving only TB-13A and TB-13B to
select preset speeds.

The MICRO Series keypad serves two purposes: operating the drive when in the LOCAL mode, and
programming the parameters for particular applications. The keypad is shown below, along with the display
that should appear when the drive is first powered up:
To program the drive, the PROGRAM mode must be entered by pressing the PROG/RUN button. If
the password protection is disabled, pressing the PROG/RUN button will result in direct entry into the
PROGRAM mode. If the password protection is enabled, the PASSWORD prompt will appear when an
attempt is made to enter the PROGRAM mode. The PASSWORD prompt appears as follows:

To enter the password. use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll to the password value, and then press
the ENTER key.
NOTE: The factory default password is 0019.

40

Once the correct password is entered, the PROGRAM mode will be entered and the first parameter will be
displayed, which is Parameter 0 - LINE VOLTS. This is shown below:

To scroll through the parameters, use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons on the keypad. When the desired
parameter is found, press the ENTER key to shift the cursor from the parameter name to the parameter
value. In this example, the cursor shifts from LINE VOLTS to HIGH:

The parameter value can then be changed using the UP and DOWN arrow buttons. If the parameter has a
numerical value, the UP arrow will increase the value and the DOWN arrow will decrease the value. If the
parameter has specific choices that can be selected, the UP and DOWN arrow keys will scroll through the
list of possible settings. When the desired value or option is selected, press the ENTER key to store the new
setting. If the new setting is not ENTERED, it will not take effect and the old setting will still be valid.
If the PROG/RUN key is pushed while the cursor is highlighting the parameter value, the value will change
back to the original setting (if it had been changed, but not ENTERED), and the cursor will shift back to
the parameter name. Pressing PROG/RUN again will exit the program mode. If the PROGRAM mode is
entered again within two minutes, the last parameter that was viewed, or changed, will come up on the display. After two minutes has elapsed, the password will have to be entered again when attempting to access
the PROGRAM mode.

41

16.2

PARAMETER ACCESS USING SPEED DIAL


SPEED DIAL is used to access parameters quickly using the parameter number. Once accessed, the
parameter can be programmed as described in Section 16.1. SPEED DIAL is accessed by pressing the
AUTO/MAN key while in the PROGRAM mode. This will activate the SPEED DIAL display as shown
below:

Once in SPEED DIAL, the UP and DOWN arrow keys will allow the operator to scroll through the
parameter numbers. The display will continue to show SPEED DIAL while scrolling through the
parameter number, as shown below:

When the desired parameter is reached, the SPEED DIAL display will be replaced by the parameter name:

Once the desired parameter is displayed on the screen, press the ENTER key to display the parameter name
and present setting. The parameter setting can now be changed by the method described in Section 16.1.
Press the AUTO/MAN key to return to SPEED DIAL.

LINE VOLTS

(LINE VOLTAGE)

This parameter calibrates the drive for the correct input voltage, and can be set to AUTO, HIGH, or LOW.
When set to AUTO, the drive measures the DC bus voltage when power is applied and automatically
calibrates itself according to the measured value (DC bus voltage is equal to input voltage multiplied by 1.4).
This parameter can also be set "manually", using the HIGH or LOW settings. For actual line voltages of
230/240 Vac (on 240/200 Vac models), 460/480 Vac (on 480/400 Vac models), or 575/590 Vac (on
590/480 Vac models), set this parameter to HIGH. Also use the HIGH setting for 240/120 Vac single phase
input models. Refer to the table below.
For actual line voltages of 200/208 Vac (on 240/200 Vac models), 380/415 Vac (on 480/400 Vac models),
or 460/480 Vac (on 590 Vac models), set this parameter to LOW. Refer to the table below.

SPEED #1-#4

(PRESET SPEEDS #1, #2, #3, AND #4)

PRESET SPEEDS are only active when the drive is in AUTO mode, and are activated via contact closures
between terminal TB-2 and terminals TB-13A, TB-13B, and TB-13C. These terminals must be
programmed as preset speed selects using Parameters 47 - 49: TB13A, TB13B, and TB13C.
The preset speeds can only be set to values that are within the operating range defined by the minimum and
maximum frequency (see Parameters: 10 - MIN FREQ, and 11 - MAX FREQ).
The following table shows how each preset speed is selected using the TB-13 terminals. The terms OPEN
and CLOSED refer to the state of the TB-13 terminal relative to TB-2.

SKIP #1 & #2
BAND WID

(SKIP SPEED #1 & #2)


(SKIP BANDWIDTH)

These parameters are used to prevent the drive from operating continuously at critical speeds, or
frequencies, that cause excessive mechanical vibration of the driven equipment. The SKIP SPEEDS
(Parameters 5 and 6) and the SKIP BANDWIDTH (Parameter 7) are used to define up to two speed
avoidance ranges. The SKIP SPEED settings define the starting point of the speed range that is to be
avoided, and the SKIP BANDWIDTH setting defines how far the speed range extends beyond SKIP
SPEED.

48

Example: The critical frequency is 21 Hz, and a bandwidth of 2 Hz is desired. Therefore, set SKIP #1 to 20
Hz and set SKIP BANDWIDTH to 2 Hz. This results in a speed range from 20 Hz to 22 Hz that the drive
will not operate within continuously. If the drive were operating at 25 Hz and then commanded to operate
at a speed within the range of avoidance, the drive would decelerate to 22 Hz and remain at that frequency
until commanded to 20 Hz or below. The drive would then decelerate through the range of avoidance to
the new frequency. Likewise, if the drive were operating at 18 Hz, and then commanded to operate at a speed
within the range of avoidance, the drive would accelerate to 20 Hz and remain at that frequency until
commanded to a speed of 22 Hz or above. The drive would then accelerate through the range of avoidance
to the new frequency.
8

ACCEL

(ACCELERATION TIME)

ACCEL sets the acceleration rate for all speed reference sources (keypad, speed pot, 4-20 mA, 0-10 VDC,
jog, and the preset speeds). The ACCEL setting is the time to accelerate from 0 Hz to the BASE
FREQUENCY (Parameter 18). The range of adjustment for ACCEL depends on horsepower. Refer to the
table below:
ACCELERATION LIMITS
HORSEPOWER
0.25 - 20
25 - 60

RANGE OF ADJUSTMENT
0.1 - 3600 SEC
0.3 - 3600 SEC

Example: If ACCEL is set to 30 seconds, and the BASE FREQUENCY is set for 60 Hz, the drive will ramp
from 0 Hz to 60 Hz in 30 seconds. This is a linear function, therefore the drive would ramp up to 30 Hz
in 15 seconds, etc.
NOTE: The ability to accelerate a given load at a particular rate will be limited by the output power
capability of the drive/motor combination. The acceleration of high-inertia and high-friction loads may be
affected by the current limiting characteristics of the drive. See Parameters: 16 - CURRENT, 19 - FX
BOOST, and 20 - AC BOOST for more information.
9

DECEL

(DECELERATION TIME)

This parameter sets the deceleration rate for all speed reference sources. The DECEL setting indicates time
to decelerate from BASE FREQUENCY to 0 Hz. As with Parameter 8 - ACCEL, this is a linear function.
If the drive is set to COAST to stop, this parameter will have no effect when a STOP command is given.
The range of adjustment for DECEL depends on the horsepower and voltage rating, and whether Dynamic
Braking is being used. Refer to the table on next page:

NOTE 1: 240/120 Vac units have the same limits as 240/200 Vac units.
NOTE 2: The parameter value can be set below the minimum value shown, but the value shown is the
operational limit of the drive. For example, if DECEL is set for 0.1 seconds on a 10 HP drive without
dynamic braking, the actual deceleration time would be 0.3 seconds.

If an attempt is made to decelerate a high-inertia load too quickly, the motor will regenerate voltage back
into the drive. This will cause the DC bus voltage to rise, which can result in a HI VOLTS fault. In order
to prevent faulting, the drive will enter DECEL FREEZE, which halts the deceleration until the DC bus
voltage returns to a normal level. The drive will then begin to decelerate again, and if necessary, will enter
DECEL FREEZE repeatedly to avoid faulting. If a very short deceleration time is programmed, DECEL
FREEZE may not be able to compensate fast enough, resulting in a HI VOLTS fault.
In applications where very short deceleration times are required on high-inertia loads, dynamic braking may
be required. Consult the factory for more information on the Dynamic Braking option.
10

MIN FRQ

(MINIMUM FREQUENCY)

This parameter defines the lower limit of the drive's speed range. MIN FRQ is used in conjunction with
MAX FRQ (Parameter 11 below) to define the operating range of the drive.
If MIN FRQ is set to a value above 0.0 Hz, the drive will ramp up from 0.0 Hz when given a start
command. Once running, however, the drive will not operate below the MIN FRQ setting unless the
rotation is changed, or a stop command is issued and the drive is programmed to ramp to a stop.
If the MINIMUM FREQUENCY is set to 0.0 Hz, the drive may be operated in ZERO SPEED mode (drive
is in RUN state, but there is no output to the motor). ZERO SPEED operation can be used in applications
requiring the ability to start and stop the drive using only the selected speed reference. The drive will start
when the speed reference is raised above 0 VDC or 4 mA, and it will stop when the reference is lowered to
0 VDC or 4 mA. Note that the drive must be initially started using one of the normal start commands
(keypad or terminal strip).
11

MAX FRQ

(MAXIMUM FREQUENCY)

This parameter defines the upper limit of the drive's speed range. MAX FRQ is used in conjunction with
MIN FRQ (Parameter 10 above) to define the operating range of the drive.

WARNING

Consult motor manufacturer before operating motor above rated frequency. Overspeeding the
motor and/or driven equipment can cause damage to equipment and injury to personnel!

50

12

DC BRAKE

(DC BRAKE VOLTAGE)

DC braking creates a braking torque by injecting DC voltage into the motor. This parameter set the
magnitude of that DC voltage. The point at which the drive applies DC braking to the motor depends on
which STOP mode is programmed (either COAST or RAMP, see Parameter 26 - STOP).
If the drive is set to COAST, DC braking is activated when the stop command is given. In this case, DC
braking helps decelerate the motor. This is useful in applications where a quick deceleration is desired on a
load that would normally take a long time to coast to a stop.
If the drive is set to RAMP, DC braking is activated when the output frequency reaches 0 Hz. In this
case, the drive decelerates the load to a near stop and then DC braking is sued to stop and hold the motor.
This is useful in applications where the load needs to be stopped in a certain position. Similar applications
with high-inertia loads utilize both dynamic braking and DC braking. The dynamic braking allows the
high-inertia load to be decelerated quickly, while the DC braking stops the load in the desired position.
Due to heat generated in the motor, DC braking should only be used in applications where the load is
stopped infrequently. In high duty-cycle applications, dynamic braking is recommended because the heat is
dissipated through external resistor banks, rather than in the motor. When used, DC BRAKE should be set
to the lowest voltage that provides satisfactory operation in order to minimize motor heating. The maximum
voltage available depends on the voltage rating of the drive. Refer to the table below:

MAXIMUM DC BRAKE VOLTAGE

DC TIME

(DC BRAKE TIME)

This parameter determines the length of time that the DC braking voltage is applied to the motor. DC
TIME should be set to the lowest value that provides satisfactory operation in order to minimize motor
heating.
NOTE: If this parameter is set to 999.9 seconds (the maximum value), the DC braking will be continuous.
14

DYN BRAK

(DYNAMIC BRAKE)

This parameter enables the dynamic braking circuit. Set this parameter to ON only if the optional
dynamic braking circuit board and resistors are installed.
Dynamic braking is used in applications where high-inertia loads need to be decelerated quickly. When
this is attempted, the motor regenerates voltage back into the drive, causing the DC bus voltage to rise,
eventually resulting in a HI VOLTS fault. With the dynamic braking option, the DC bus voltage is
monitored, and when it reaches a certain level, a transistor is switched on that connects an external resistor
bank across the DC bus. This allows the regenerated energy from the motor to be dissipated through the
resistors as heat, which keeps the DC bus voltage below the trip level.

51

16

CURRENT

(CURRENT LIMIT)

The current limit setting determines the maximum value of the drive's output current. This is usually done
to limit motor torque capability. For most applications the current limit is maintained at the maximum
setting. Depending on the setting of Parameter 0 - LINE VOLTS, the drive is capable of delivering 150%
or 180% of rated output current.
When the drive enters current limit, it will attempt to avoid an OVERLOAD fault by entering
FREQUENCY FOLDBACK, which commands the drive to decelerate in order to reduce the output
current. When the overcurrent condition passes, the drive will return to normal operation and accelerate
back to the speed setpoint. However, if the drive cannot reduce the current quickly enough by decelerating,
it will trip on an OVERLOAD fault. If the drive enters FREQUENCY FOLDBACK while accelerating a
high-inertia load, the time required to reach the speed setpoint will be longer than the ACCEL (Parameter
8) setting would indicate.
NOTE: At 150% output current, the drive will trip on an OVERLOAD fault after one minute. At 180%
current, the drive will trip after approximately thirty seconds (see Parameter 17 - MOTOR OL below).
17

MOTOR OL

(MOTOR OVERLOAD)

The MOTOR OVERLOAD setting is used to protect the motor from overheating due to excessive current
draw. The trip time for the MOTOR OVERLOAD setting is based on what is known as an "inverse I2t"
function. This function allows the drive to deliver 150% of the rated output current for one minute, and
even higher current levels for shorter periods of time. Once the overload circuit "times out", the drive will
trip on an OVERLOAD fault.
The MOTOR OVERLOAD should be set to a value which is equal to the ratio (in percentage) of the motor
full load current rating to the drive output current rating. This will result in an overload capacity of 150%
of the MOTOR current rating for one minute. If this parameter is set to 100%, the motor will be allowed
to draw 150% of the DRIVE output current rating for one minute. This distinction is important in cases
where the motor full load current rating is significantly less than the drive output current rating, such as
applications where the drive is oversized to meet torque requirements.
Example: A 5 Hp, 480 Vac drive is operating a 3 HP motor with a full load current rating of 4.8 amps.
Divide the motor current rating by the drive output current rating: 4.8 / 7.6 = 63%. Entering this value will
allow continuous operation at 4.8 amps, and will also allow the motor to draw 7.2 amps (150% of 4.8 amps)
for one minute. If the setting is left at 100%, the motor could draw 11.4 amps (150% of 7.6 amps) for one
minute before tripping the drive.
The MICRO SERIES drive has two options for thermal overload protection. One depends on the speed
of the drive, and the other does not. The diagram on the next page illustrates the difference between "speed
compensated" and "noncompensated" thermal overload protection.

52

The "speed-compensated" thermal overload circuit offers additional protection from high load conditions at
low speeds, where motor cooling is often less effective (e.g., motors with shaft-mounted fans). As seen on
the diagram below, the drive reduces the allowable continuous output current when operating at frequencies
less than 30 Hz.
Example: A 480 Vac, 20 HP drive is operating a motor at 10 Hz. From the diagram, a drive operating at
10 Hz can deliver about 75% of its output current rating continuously. A 480 Vac, 20 HP drive's output
current rating is 27 Amps. Therefore, the drive would be able to operate continuously at 20 Amps. The
drive would also be able to deliver 150% of that value (30 Amps) for one minute before tripping into an
OVERLOAD fault.

MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS
OUTPUT CURRENT (%)

The "speed compensated" thermal overload is the factory default and should be used in applications where
the motor does not normally experience high loads at low speeds for extended periods of time.

FREQUENCY (Hz)
NOTE: The above diagram is based on a MOTOR OL setting of 100%. For lower MOTOR OL settings,
reduce the % CURRENT values by the same percentage. For example, if MOTOR OL is set to 75%, reduce
the % CURRENT values by 25%. Therefore, the curve shifts down, but the shape of the curve remains the
same.
The "non-compensated" thermal overload circuit allows 100% current continuously, and 150%
current for one minute, at all speeds. In the example above, the motor operating at 10 Hz without
"speed-compensated" protection would be allowed to operate continuously at 27 Amps, and could draw
40.5 Amps for one minute before tripping. Without sufficient motor cooling, this can result in motor
failure due to overheating.
The "non-compensated" circuit is selected by setting parameter 22 - TORQUE to CT/NOCMP. The
"non-compensated" setting should only be used in applications where the motor is properly cooled at all
speeds, or the motor manufacturer has approved the motor for full-load operation at low speeds.
NOTE: The operation of the motor thermal overload circuit is affected by the setting of Parameter 34 LOAD MLT.

53

18

BASE

(BASE FREQUENCY)

The BASE FREQUENCY determine the V/Hz ratio by setting the frequency at which the drive will output full voltage to the motor. For most applications the base frequency should be set to match the motor's
rated frequency.
For example, if the drive is rated for 460 VAC output, and the BASE FREQUENCY is set to 60 Hz, the
drive will maintain a constant ratio of 7.66 V/Hz (except when AC BOOST or FX BOOST are active, see
Parameters 19 and 20) from 0 Hz to 60 Hz. This range is the region of constant torque. If the motor speed
is increased past 60 Hz, the output voltage remains constant while the frequency increases, resulting in a
reduced V/Hz ratio. This range, from 60 Hz to about 90 Hz, is the region of constant horsepower. Above
90 Hz, horsepower begins to drop off as frequency increases. Refer to Section 6.1 - DESCRIPTION OF
AC MOTOR OPERATION.
19

FX BOOST

(FIXED BOOST)

This parameter is used in applications which require high starting torque. FX BOOST increases the output
voltage at lower output frequencies (below 30 Hz for 60 Hz base frequency), in order to boost the torque
capability of the motor. Refer to the diagram below. The factory default for FX BOOST depends on the
horsepower rating. Refer to the table below:

AC BOOST

(AC BOOST)

AC BOOST is similar to FX BOOST, but is only active when the drive is accelerating. During acceleration,
the output voltage is increased according to the setting of AC BOOST, which increases motor torque. Refer
to the diagram below. AC BOOST, like FX BOOST, is used in applications with high-inertia loads.

FREQUENCY (HERTZ)

The above diagram illustrates how FX BOOST and AC BOOST alter the V/Hz ratio to increase motor
torque. FX BOOST sets the boost at 0 Hz (approximately 15% in the example above), and as the output
frequency approaches 30 Hz, the boost decreases to zero. AC BOOST only functions during acceleration.
In the diagram above, the drive is operating at 35 Hz and is then commanded to 50 Hz. The output voltage
is increased by the AC BOOST setting (approximately 15% in the example above) during acceleration to
the new speed setpoint. Once the new setpoint is reached, the output voltage returns to normal.
21

SLIP CMP

(SLIP COMPENSATION)

SLIP COMPENSATION is used to compensate for changes in motor speed ("slip") which occur due to
changes in load. In a standard AC induction motor, as the load on the motor increases, the motor current
increases and the motor shaft speed decreases. By increasing the output frequency in response to the
increased motor current, SLIP COMPENSATION is able to counteract the reduction in motor sped due to
increased load. This parameter is useful in applications where precise speed regulation is needed, even under
changing load conditions. The use of SLIP COMPENSATION can result in speed regulation of less than
1% of base speed in most applications. SLIP COMPENSATION is often set to 3%, which is the standard
slip rating of most AC induction motors.

55

22

TORQUE

(TORQUE CURVE SELECTION)

This parameter is used to select whether the output of the drive follows a constant or variable V/Hz curve.
The following selections are available:
CONSTANT

Use for constant torque applications to optimize torque.

VARIABLE

Use for variable torque applications to optimize energy savings.

CT/NOCMP

Use for constant torque applications that require full overload capacity at low speeds
(see Parameter 17 - MOTOR OL).

23

CARRIER

(CARRIER FREQUENCY)

This parameter sets the carrier frequency, or switching frequency of the output IGBT's. Higher switching
rates result in less audible noise to be emitted from the motor, but the efficiency of the drive decreases as
the carrier frequency increases. Therefore, this parameter should be set to the lowest value which yields
acceptable sound levels. Available settings are: 2.5 kHz, 6.0 kHz, 8 kHz, 10 kHz, 12 kHz and 14 kHz.
NOTE 1: The 2.5 kHz carrier frequency setting is a variable carrier. The carrier frequency remains fixed at
1.5 kHz up to 25 Hz output frequency. Above 25 Hz, the carrier is a fixed multiple of 60 times the drive's
output frequency. For example, if the output frequency of the drive was set to 45 Hz, the carrier frequency
would be 2.7 kHz (45 Hz x 60 = 2700 Hz).
NOTE 2: The ability to operate a drive in the quiet (high carrier frequency) mode is dependent on the drive
horsepower rating, driven load, drive enclosure, and the ambient temperature. At full ambient temperature,
operation above 8 kHz requires derating the drive by multiplying the output current rating by the
following factors: 0.94 at 10 kHz, 0.89 at 12 kHz, and 0.83 at 14 kHz.
NOTE 3: If the drive is equipped with the High Output Frequency option, and MAX FRQ is set above 120
Hz, CARRIER will automatically change to 14 kHz, and the CARRIER parameter will disappear from the
parameter menu. Operation at 14 kHz carrier frequency requires derating as shown in NOTE 2 above.

WARNING

START

(START MODE)

Automatic start of equipment may result in damage to equipment and/or injury to personnel!
Automatic start should only be used on equipment that is inaccessible to personnel.

This parameter selects the starting method for the drive, and can be set for one of the following:
NORMAL

The drive will start when the appropriate contact closure is made (maintained or
momentary depending on whether the drive is set up for a two-wire or three-wire
start/stop) on the terminal strip. To start the drive in NORMAL mode, a start
command must be issued at least two seconds AFTER input power is applied.

POWER-UP

The drive will automatically start upon application of input power. The drive MUST
be wired for a two-wire start/stop control with a maintained start contact (refer to
Section 14.0 - CONTROL WIRING). The start command MUST be present when
power is applied for this function to operate.

AUTO RE-

The drive will automatically restart after a protective fault or upon application of input
power. As with the POWER-UP option, a start command must be present for this
function to operate.

RE-BRAKE

After a fault, the drive will apply voltage equal to the DC BRAKE setting for 15
seconds and then restart. This is done to ensure the motor is topped at the time of the
restart attempt as the drive will not start into a spinning motor.

NOTE 1: POWER UP, AUTO RE-, and RE-BRAKE settings are only active when the drive is in REMOTE
mode (see Parameter 30 - CONTROL).
NOTE 2: After a fault, the drive will attempt to restart five times, and if unsuccessful, will shut down on a
FAULT LOCKOUT. Every 15 minutes that passes will decrement the restart counter by one. Therefore, 75
minutes after a successful restart, the restart counter is fully reset, and the drive can once again attempt five
restarts.
NOTE 3: The drive WILL NOT restart after the following faults: CONTROL and PWR SAG. Also, if
an output fault occurs at a speed below 1.5 Hz, only one restart will be attempted because there may be a
problem with an output transistor. If unsuccessful, it will then trip into FAULT LOCKOUT, which will
require a manual reset. This is done to protect the drive in case of a shorted motor.
26

STOP

(STOP MODE)

This parameter selects whether the motor will COAST to a stop, or RAMP to a stop, when the drive is given
a stop command.
COAST

When a stop command is given, the drive shuts off the output to the motor, allowing
it to coast to a stop. In this mode, the time it takes the motor to stop is governed by the
inertia of the driven load.

RAMP

When a stop command is given, the drive will decelerate the motor to a stop over a
period of time according to Parameter 8 - DECEL.

57

27
WARNING

ROTATION

(ROTATION DIRECTION)

If TB-13C is programmed for RUN REVERSE, TB-1 is disabled and CANNOT be used as a
STOP switch! This is true in LOCAL and REMOTE mode. Incorrect use of TB-1 may result in
damage to equipment and/or injury to personnel! Refer to Parameter 49 - TB13C for more
information.

This parameter is used to limit the motor rotation direction to forward or reverse, or to allow rotation in
both directions. The parameter can be set to one of the following:
FORWARD

Rotation is allowed in the forward direction only. This selection disables the FWD/REV
button the keypad and TB-13C (REVERSE).

REVERSE

Rotation is allowed in the reverse direction only. This selection disables the FWD/REV
button on the keypad and TB-12A (FORWARD). TB-13C must be programmed for
either RUN REV or STRT REV for this function to operate in the REMOTE mode.

FWD&REV

Rotation is allowed in both directions. The FWD/REV button is enabled. Rotation can
be changed form the keypad (LOCAL mode), or the terminal strip (REMOTE mode).
In the REMOTE mode, TB-13C must be programmed for either RUN REV or STRT
REV for this function to operate.

FWD@LOC

In LOCAL mode, rotation is allowed in the forward direction only. In REMOTE


mode, rotation is allowed in both directions.

NOTE: If the rotation is changed while the drive is running, the drive will decelerate to 0 Hz, and then
accelerate back up to the speed setpoint in the opposite direction.
28

AUTO/MAN

(AUTO/MANUAL SPEED CONTROL)

This parameter is used to select the method of speed control when the drive is in the LOCAL mode. The
choices are explained below:
MANUAL

The drive will accept a speed reference from the keypad (UP and DOWN ARROW
keys) or a speed potentiometer (wired to TB-2, 5A, and 6). Parameter 29 - MANUAL
below selects either keypad or speed potentiometer. The AUTO/MAN button on the
keypad is disabled.

AUTO

The drive will accept a 0-10 VDC input signal on TB-5A and TB-2, a 4-20 mA input
signal on TB-5B and TB-2, or one of the three PRESET SPEEDS. The programming
of TB-13A, TB-13B and TB-13C determines which AUTO reference is selected. The
AUTO/MAN button on the keypad is disabled.

BOTH

The AUTO/MAN key on the keypad is enabled and can be used to toggle between
MANUAL and AUTO control ONLY if Parameter 30 - CONTROL is set to LOCAL.

NOTE: If this parameter is set to AUTO or BOTH, and a speed reference is not selected by a contact
closure between TB-13A, TB-13B, or TB-13C and TB-2, the speed reference will default to the setting of
Parameter 29 - MANUAL (KEYPAD or 0-10 VDC).

58

29

MANUAL

(MANUAL)

This parameter selects the speed reference source when the drive is set for MANUAL speed control (see
parameter 28 - AUTO/MAN above). The speed reference options are KEYPAD (UP and DOWN ARROW
keys), or 0 - 10 VDC (from a speed pot wired to TB-2, 5A, and 6; or some other 0-10 VDC source).
30

CONTROL

(START/STOP CONTROL)

WARNING

If CONTROL is set to LOCAL, TB-1 is disabled and CANNOT be used as a STOP switch!
Incorrect use of TB-1 may result in damage to equipment and/or injury to personnel!

WARNING

STOP (TB-1) and EXTERNAL FAULT (TB-13D) circuitry may be disabled if parameters are
reset to factory defaults! The drive must be reprogrammed after a RESET in order to insure
proper operation (see Parameter 65 - PROGRAM).
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT AND/OR INJURY
TO PERSONNEL!

This parameter is used to select the source of the start/stop command and direction control. The following
explains the possible settings:
LOCAL

START/STOP and FORWARD/REVERSE commands from the keypad only.

REMOTE

START/STOP and FORWARD/REVERSE commands from the terminal strip only.

BOTH

LOCAL operation if TB-13A or TB-13C is programmed for LOCAL SELECT and a


contact closure is made from TB-13A or TB-13C to TB-2. If the contact closure is not
made, the drive will be in REMOTE mode.

31

UNITS

(SPEED UNITS)

HZ UNITS sets the units of the output speed display on the keypad. This parameter can be set to the
following speed units: HERTZ, RPM, % HZ, /SEC, /MIN, /HR, GPH and NONE.
NOTE: The intended use of "/SEC", "/MIN", and "/HR" are units per second, units per minute, and units
per hour.
32

HZ MULT

(HERTZ MULTIPLIER)

The HZ MULTIPLIER is used to scale the output speed indication on the display. If UNITS is set
for HERTZ or % HZ, this parameter has no effect. Multiplying the output frequency by the HZ
MULTIPLIER will yield the desired speed value on the display.
Example: If the desired speed display is RPM, and a standard 60 Hz, 1800 RPM motor is being used, set
UNITS to RPM and set HZ MULTIPLIER to 30.00. This would result in a speed display of 1110 RPM
for an output frequency of 37 Hz (37 Hz X 30 = 1110 RPM). Also, if there was a 100:1 gear reducer in the
system, Parameter 33 - SPEED DP below could be set to XX.XX in order for the display to read 11.10 RPM,
representing the output speed of the gear reducer rather than motor speed.

59

33

SPEED DP

(SPEED DECIMAL POINT)

This parameter is used to move the decimal point location in the speed display. This parameter will not have
any effect if UNITS is set to HERTZ or % HZ. The possible settings are: XXXXX, XXX.X, XX.XX, X.XXX,
and .XXXX. Refer to Parameter 32 - HZ MULT above for an example on the use of SPEED DP.
34

LOAD MLT

(LOAD MULTIPLIER)

This parameter is used to scale the load display. If the drive output current rating is higher than the motor
full load current rating, the drive will not display 100 % load when the motor is at full load. Setting this
parameter to the ratio (in percentage) of the drive output current rating to the motor full load current
rating will scale the load display to show the motor load instead of the drive load. This will result in a
display of 100% when the motor is at full load.
The motor overload circuitry is also affected by this parameter. When the display reads 150% load, the drive
will trip on OVERLOAD in one minute, regardless of the actual motor current. If this parameter is used to
scale the display to show actual motor load, then parameter 17 - MOTOR OL should be left at 100%.
Likewise, if MOTOR OL has been set according to the motor full load rating, this parameter should be left
at 100%. Changing both parameters will result in an OVERLOAD fault sooner than expected.
The output signal at TB-10B is also affected by this parameter. When set to the ratio of current ratings as
explained above, the output signal will be proportional to motor load instead of drive load.
35

CONTRAST

(LCD DISPLAY CONTRAST)

This parameter is used to adjust the contrast of the drive display and can be set to LOW, MED, or HIGH
in order to obtain the most visible display. If the drive is mounted lower than eye level, a HIGH setting may
make the display more visible. Likewise, if the drive is mounted higher than eye level, a LOW setting may
make the display more visible.
36

SLEEP TH

(SLEEP THRESHOLD)

The MC1000 Series drive has a Sleep Mode function that allows the drive to cease operation when system
demand falls below a preset level. This is to prevent the motor from operating at low speeds for long
periods of time. It is commonly used along with the PID Setpoint Control feature, but can also be used in
standard speed control mode.
When the commanded speed falls below the SLEEP THRESHOLD setting for the defined SLEEP DELAY
time (see Parameter 37 below), the drive will go to sleep and the motor will go to zero speed. The drive
will remain sleeping until it is commanded to operate at a speed equal to or greater than the SLEEP
THRESHOLD, at which point it will wake up and ramp the motor up to the commanded speed.
NOTE 1: While the drive is in Sleep Mode, the Status portion of the display will read SLEEP.
NOTE 2: If the drives commanded speed goes below the SLEEP THRESHOLD, the SLEEP DELAY timer
will start to count down. If the commanded speed equals or exceeds the SLEEP THRESHOLD before the
SLEEP DELAY times out, the SLEEP DELAY timer will be reset.
NOTE 3: If the drive is in a Stop state, and the commanded speed is below the SLEEP THRESHOLD, the
drive will immediately go to sleep upon a Start command, by passing the SLEEP DELAY.
37

SLEEP DL

(SLEEP DELAY)

This parameter sets the amount of time the drive must operate below the SLEEP THRESHOLD (see
Parameter 36 above) before the drive goes to sleep and brings the motor to zero speed.

60

39

TB5 MIN

(TERMINAL TB-5 INPUT)

This parameter selects the output frequency of the drive that will correspond to the minimum analog speed
reference input (0 VDC or 4 mA). This parameter is used in conjunction with Parameter 36 - TB5 MAX to
define a speed range for the drive that corresponds to the analog speed reference input (0 - 10 VDC or 4 20 mA).
40

TB5 MAX

(TERMINAL TB-5 INPUT)

This parameter selects the output frequency of the drive that will correspond to the maximum analog speed
reference input (10 VDC or 20 mA). This parameter is used in conjunction with Parameter 35 - TB5 MIN
to define a speed range for the drive that corresponds to the analog speed reference input (0 - 10 VDC or 4
- 20 mA).
Example: The drive is required to operate from 0 to 60 Hz in response to a 0-5 VDC speed reference
signal (rather than the "normal" 0-10 VDC). Because TB5 MAX is based on a 0-10 VDC (or 4-20 mA)
signal, the drive will operate at half of the TB5 MAX value if it is given a 5 VDC signal. Therefore, setting
TB5 MAX to 120 Hz will cause the drive to run at 60 Hz when it is given a 5 VDC speed reference signal.
NOTE: The drive can be programmed for inverse operation so that minimum speed reference corresponds
to the maximum output frequency, and the maximum speed reference corresponds to the minimum output
frequency. This is accomplished by setting TB5 MIN larger than TB5 MAX. Therefore, as the speed
reference increases, the drive speed will decrease, and as the speed reference decreases, the drive speed will
increase.
Example: The drive is being controlled by a pressure transducer that provides a 4-20 mA signal
proportional to duct pressure. The minimum frequency desired is 20 Hz, and the maximum is 60 Hz. Set
TB5 MIN for 60 Hz, and TB5 MAX for 20 Hz. As the duct pressure rises, the output signal from the
transducer will increase, causing the speed of the drive to decrease. This results in a decrease in duct pressure
and a decreasing transducer signal. The drive responds to the decreasing signal by increasing speed, which
again raises the duct pressure. In this way, the average duct pressure can be maintained at a certain level. If
the acceleration and deceleration rates are set too fast however, the drive will react quickly to signal changes
which will cause the drive speed to "hunt" up and down excessively.
41

AIN FLTR

(ANALOG INPUT FILTER)

This parameter adjusts the filter on the analog input terminals (TB-5A and TB-5B) to reduce the effect of
any electrical noise that may be present on the analog input signals. This filter works in both PID mode and
standard speed control mode. It should be set to the lowest value that yields acceptable performance, as
setting it too high may cause the drive to react too slowly to signal changes.
42

TB10A OUT

(TERMINAL TB-10A OUTPUT)

The analog output signal at TB-10A is proportional to the output frequency of the drive. This parameter
selects whether that signal is 0-10 VDC or 2-10 VDC. The 2-10 VDC signal can be converted to a 4-20
mA signal by connecting a resistor in series with the signal such that the total load resistance is 500 ohm. If
set to NONE, the function is disabled.
NOTE: This output cannot be used with "loop-powered" devices that derive power from a 4-20 mA signal.

61

43

@TB10A

(TERMINAL TB-10A SCALING)

This parameter scales the analog output signal at TB-10A. This setting is the output frequency that is indicated when the TB-10A output measures 10 VDC.
Example: The drive is connected to a control system that requires a 0-5 VDC signal to indicate 0-60 Hz
output frequency. If this parameter were set to 120 Hz, the drive would output 10 VDC at 120 Hz, and 5
VDC at 60 Hz. If the drive is only operated from 0-60 Hz, the control system would only receive the desired
0-5 VDC signal from the drive.
44

TB10B OUT

(TERMINAL TB-01B OUTPUT)

The analog output signal at TB-10B is proportional to the drive load. This parameter selects whether that
signal is 0-10 VDC or 2-10 VDC. The 2-10 VDC signal can be converted to a 4-20 mA signal by connecting a resistor in series with the signal such that the total load resistance is 500 ohm.
NOTE: This output cannot be used with "loop-powered" devices that derive power from a 4-20 mA signal.
45

@TB10B

(TERMINAL TB-10B SCALING)

This parameter scales the analog output signal at TB-10B. The value programmed into this parameter is the
drive load at which the maximum output signal (10VDC) at TB-10A is desired.
Example: The drive is connected to a control system that requires a 0-10 VDC signal to indicate 0-150%
drive load. If this parameter were set to 150%, the drive would output 10 VDC at 150% load, and about
6.7 VDC at 100% load.
NOTE: The output signal at TB-10B is affected by the setting of Parameter 34 - LOAD MLT.
47

TB13A

(TB-13A INPUT FUNCTION)

This parameter is used to select the function of terminal TB-13A. Closing TB- 13A to TB-2 activates the
TB-13A input function. The following functions can be selected.
NONE

Disables the TB-13A function.

0-10VDC

Selects 0-10 VDC as the AUTO speed reference input. The 0-10 VDC signal is wired
to TB-5A and TB-2.

REMOTE mode if contact closure is not made.

DEC FREQ

Decrease frequency setpoint. Used with the MOP (motor operated pot) function. Refer
to Section 14.2.6 - SPEED REFERENCE SELECTION.

62

48

TB13B

(TB-13B INPUT FUNCTION)

This parameter is used to select the function of terminal TB-13B. Closing TB- 13B to TB-2 activates the
TB-13B input function. The following functions can be selected.
NONE

Disables the TB-13B function.

0-10VDC

Selects 0-10 VDC as the AUTO speed reference input. The 0-10 VDC signal is wired
to TB-5A and TB-2.

4-20 MA

Selects 4-20 mA as the AUTO speed reference input. The 4-20 mA signal is wired to
TB-5B and TB-2.

SPEED#2

Selects PRESET SPEED #2 as the AUTO speed reference.

INC FREQ

Increase frequency setpoint. Used with the MOP (motor operated pot) function. Refer
to Section 14.2.6 - SPEED REFERENCE SELECTION.

JOG FWD

Jog in the forward direction. Active only when drive is STOPPED. The jog speed is set
by Parameter 2 - SPEED#2.

JOG REV

Jog in the reverse direction. Active only when drive is STOPPED. The jog speed is set
by Parameter 2 - SPEED#2.

WARNING
49

When operating in JOG mode, the STOP key WILL NOT stop the drive. To stop the drive, the
contact between TB-13B and TB-2 must be opened.
TB13C

(TB-13C INPUT FUNCTION)

This parameter is used to select the function of terminal TB-13C. Closing TB- 13C to TB-2 activates the
TB-13C input function. The following functions can be selected.
NONE

Disables the TB-13C function.

0-10VDC

Selects 0-10 VDC as the AUTO speed reference input. The 0-10 VDC signal is wired
to TB-5A and TB-2.

4-20 MA

Selects 4-20 mA as the AUTO speed reference input. The 4-20 mA signal is wired to
TB-5B and TB-2.

SPEED#3

Selects PRESET SPEED #3 as the AUTO speed reference.

LOC SEL

LOCAL SELECT - Selects LOCAL mode when Parameter 30 - CONTROL is set to


BOTH. Drive is in REMOTE mode if contact closure is not made.

RUN REV

RUN REVERSE - Run in reverse direction. Requires a maintained contact closure close to RUN in reverse direction, open to STOP. This will cause TB-12A to function
as RUN FORWARD, also requiring a maintained contact.

STRT REV

START REVERSE - Start in reverse direction. Requires a momentary contact closure


to RUN in reverse direction. A momentary STOP contact must be wired between
TB-1 and TB-2. Setting this parameter to START REVERSE causes TB-12A to
function as START FORWARD, also requiring a momentary contact closure to RUN
in forward direction.

63

50

TB13D EXT

(TB-13D - EXTERNAL FAULT)

This parameter selects the operation of the EXTERNAL FAULT function for TB-13D.
FAULT

Sets TB-13D as a normally open contact. Closing TB-13D to TB-2 will cause the drive
to trip on an EXTERNAL FAULT.

/FAULT

Sets TB-13D as a normally closed contact. Opening the contact between TB-13D and
TB-2 will cause the drive to trip on an EXTERNAL FAULT.

WARNING

STOP (TB-1) and EXTERNAL FAULT (TB-13D) circuitry may be disabled if parameters are
reset to factory defaults! The drive must be reprogrammed after a RESET in order to insure
proper operation (see Parameter 65 - PROGRAM).
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT AND/OR INJURY
TO PERSONNEL!

52

TB14B OUT

(TB-14 OPEN COLLECTOR OUTPUT)

This parameter sets the open-collector output indication for terminal TB-14. The following conditions can
be selected:
NONE

This setting disables the output.

RUN

The relay energizes when the drive is given a START command, and remains energized
until: a STOP command is given and the output frequency has decelerated to 0.5 Hz,
the drive has tripped, or the input voltage is removed. Note that this relay indicates
only that the drive is in the RUN mode. It does not necessarily indicate that the motor
is turning.

FAULT

The relay energizes when input voltage is applied to the drive and remains energized
until the drive trips into a fault condition, or input voltage is removed.

/FAULT

INVERSE FAULT - The relay energizes when the drive trips into a fault condition,
and remains energized until the fault condition is cleared.

LOCK

FAULT LOCKOUT - This relay is used when the drive is programmed to


automatically restart after a fault. The relay energizes when input voltage is applied to
the drive and remains energized until the drive has faulted and unsuccessfully
attempted five restarts, or input voltage is removed.

@ SPEED

AT SPEED - The relay energizes when the drive reaches the speed setpoint. To avoid a
chattering relay (energizing and de-energizing), due to small flunctuations in speed,
the relay will remain energized as long as the actual speed is within 3 Hz of the speed
setpoint.

ABOVE #3

ABOVE SPEED #3 - The relay energizes when the output frequency exceeds the speed
#3 value, and de-energizes when the output frequency returns to a value lower than the
SPEED #3 value. See Parameter 3 - SPEED #3 in Section 18.0 - DESCRIPTION OF
PARAMETERS,

64

I LIMIT

CURRENT LIMIT - The relay energizes when the drive is operating in current limit.
Once the current limit relay is energized, it remains energized for a minimum of 500ms,
regardless of whether the drive is still in current limit. At the end ofthe 500ms interval,
the relay will de-energize if the drive is no longer in current limit. See Parameter 16 CURRENT in Section 18.0 - DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS.

AUT/MAN

AUTO/MANUAL MODE - The relay energizes when the drive is in the


AUTOMATIC mode, and de-energizes in the MANUAL mode. Refer to Section
14.2.5 - SPEED REFERENCE SELECTION.

FLWR PR

FOLLOWER PRESENT - The relay energizes when the analog input reference signal
at TB-5B is greater than 2 mA, and de-energizes if the signal falls below 2 mA.

REVERSE

The relay energizes when Reverse direction is selected, and de-energizes when Forward
direction is selected.

The open-collector output circuit is a current-sinking type rated at 30 VDC and 40 mA maximum. An
external power supply (30 VDC max.) must be used to power the open-collector outputs. The drive does
not have a dedicated power supply for the open-collector outputs.
53

TB15 OUT

(TB-15 OPEN COLLECTOR OUTPUT)

This parameter sets the open-collector output indication for terminal TB-15. It has the same functionality
as Parameter 52 - TB14OUT above.
54

RELAY

(RELAY FUNCTION)

The control board has one auxiliary relay which can be programmed to indicate one of the following
conditions: NONE, RUN, FAULT, /FAULT (INVERSE FAULT), LOCK (FAULT LOCKOUT), AT
SPEED, ABOVE #3, CURRENT LIMIT, or AUTO/MAN operation. Refer to Section 6.2 - DRIVE
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION for more detailed information.
The auxiliary relay has a set of FORM C contacts on TB-16, 17, and 18, rated 2 amps at 28 VDC or 120
VAC. Control wiring diagrams show relays in the rest state (coils NOT energized).

65

57

SERIAL

(SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS)

This parameter is used to activate serial communications. When using this feature, the drive can
communicate with a personal computer (PC), programmable logic controller (PLC), or other external device
that utilizes RS-485 serial communications for control. The serial interface may be used to read present
parameter settings (uploading to the control device), write new parameter settings (downloading from the
control device), monitor present drive activity, and control current drive activity. The following settings are
available:
DISABLE

Serial communication function is disabled.

W / TIMER

Enables serial communications with a watchdog timer. If there is not serial activity (read
or write) for more than 10 seconds, serial control will turn off and the drive will stop.

W / O TIMER

Enables serial communications without a watchdog timer. However, after 10 seconds of


no serial activity, serial control can be turned off by issuing a STOP command from any
source (keypad, terminal strip) other than the serial link.

NOTE 1: The keypad STOP button is always active, regardless of what method (LOCAL, REMOTE, or
SERIAL) is being used to control the drive. The remote STOP input (TB-1) may also be active, depending
on how the drive is programmed.
NOTE 2: If a RESET command (Parameter 65 - PROGRAM) is issued through the serial link, this
parameter will not default back to DISABLE. However, explicitly setting this parameter to DISABLE
through the serial link will cut off communication with the drive.
If developing an application for a serial control device, refer to the RS-232/RS- 485 Modbus
Communications Protocol Specification.
58

ADDRESS

(SERIAL ADDRESS)

This parameter is used with the serial communications feature, and is intended for use in a multiple drive
network (RS-485). The serial link will support from 1 to 30 drives, each drive having an address in the
range of 1 to 30. If the serial communications option is not being used, leave this parameter set to the default
setting of 30.
61

PASSWORD

(PASSWORD NUMBER)

This feature limits access to the programmable parameters for added security. The correct password must be
entered in order to change any parameter settings.
Pressing the PROG/RUN button on the keypad will call up the PASSWORD prompt. If the correct
password is entered, the PROGRAM MODE is entered and parameters can be changed.
If the wrong password is entered, the drive will flash ERROR: INCORRECT on the display and then return
to the PASSWORD prompt to allow another attempt at entering the correct password.
If the ENTER key is pressed while PASSWORD reads 0000, the MONITOR MODE will be entered (if
Parameter 64 - MONITOR, is set to ON), which will allow the parameters to be viewed (except for
PASSWORD), but not changed.
NOTE 1: The factory default value is 0019.
NOTE 2: Programming PASSWORD to 0000 disables the function. When the password is disabled and
the PROG/RUN button is pressed, the user will enter the PROGRAM MODE directly, without having to
enter a password.

66

63

SOFTWARE

(SOFTWARE VERSION)

This parameter displays the software code and revision number of the control board software. This
information is useful when contacting the factory for programming or troubleshooting assistance. This is a
"view-only" parameter, and cannot be changed.
Set Point Control (PID): Micro Series drives with software version M108305 or higher (as seen in Parameter
63 - SOFTWARE) are capable of PID Setpoint control, but the feature is normally hidden and must be
activated using a special password. Contact LEESON for the password and instructions describing how to
unlock the PID feature and use it for process control.
64

MONITOR

(MONITOR)

This parameter is used to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) the MONITOR MODE function. The
functionality is explained below:
ON

Pressing the PROG/RUN key will call up the PASSWORD prompt. If the ENTER key
is pressed while the password value reads 0000, the MONITOR MODE is entered and
parameters can be viewed (except for PASSWORD), but not changed.

OFF

Pressing the PROG/RUN key will call up the PASSWORD prompt. If the ENTER
KEY is pressed while the password value reads 0000 (or any other incorrect value),
it will be treated as in incorrect password and the display will flash ERROR:
INCORRECT, and then return to the PASSWORD prompt to allow another attempt
at entering the correct password.

65

PROGRAM

(PROGRAM FACTORY DEFAULTS)

STOP (TB-1) and EXTERNAL FAULT (TB-13D) circuitry may be disabled if parameters are
reset to factory defaults! The drive must be reprogrammed after a RESET in order to insure
proper operation.
WARNING

FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT AND/OR INJURY


TO PERSONNEL!

This parameter is used to reset the programmable parameters back to the factory default settings. This
parameter has four possible settings:
MAINTAIN

Maintain parameter settings as they are.

RESET 60

Resets parameters to factory defaults for 60 Hz base frequency.

RESET 50

Resets parameters to factory defaults for 50 Hz base frequency.

RST HIGH

Resets parameters to factory defaults for 650 Hz base frequency. This option will only
appear if the drive is equipped with the High Frequency Output option.

When a factory reset is performed, the following terminals are affected:

67

TB-1 will be disabled because Parameter 30 - CONTROL will default to LOCAL.


TB-13A, 13B, and 13C will be disabled because Parameters 47, 48, and 49 will default to NONE. If
TB-13C was set to RUN REVERSE, TB-12A will default to a momentary START contact.
TB-13D will default to a normally open EXTERNAL FAULT contact because Parameter 50 - TB13D EXT
will be reset to FAULT.
NOTE: This parameter will display RESET 60, RESET 50 or RST HIGH until a change is made to one or
more of the parameter settings. Once a parameter is changed, the display will change to MAINTAIN.
66

HISTORY

(CLEAR FAULT HISTORY)

This parameter is used to clear the previous faults in the FAULT HISTORY. When set to CLEAR and the
ENTER key is pushed, the display will change to MAINTAIN, and the FAULT HISTORY will display NO
FAULT for each of the eight fault histories.
69

LANGUAGE

(LANGUAGE SELECTION)

The MICRO Series drive can support other languages with the addition of an optional LANGUAGE
EEPROM chip installed in socket U11 on the control board of the drive. IF the EEPROM is not present,
the default language will be ENGLISH. Also, this parameter is not affected when the parameters are reset
using Parameter 65 - PROGRAM. Therefore, if a language other than ENGLISH is selected, it will remain
in effect after a RESET.
70

FAULT HISTORY

The FAULT HISTORY stores the previous eight fault conditions that caused the drive to trip. The
information stored here is view-only, it can not be altered. The FAULT HISTORY can be used to determine
if there is a pattern, or trend, to the faults, which may indicate a problem in the system. Refer to Section
19.0 - TROUBLESHOOTING for more information on faults.
The FAULT HISTORY indicates the number of the fault (number 1 is the most recent fault), the fault
message, and the status of the drive at the time of the fault. An example is shown below:

In the example above, the third fault log is being viewed, which is an OVERLOAD fault that occurred while
the drive was in a RUN state.

68

19.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
The table below lists the fault conditions that will cause the drive to shut down, as well as some possible
causes. Please contact the factory for more information on troubleshooting faults.
NOTE: The drive will not automatically restart after a PWR SAG or a CONTROL fault. Also, if an
OUTPUT fault occurs below 1.5 Hz, the drill will only attempt one restart, after a four minute delay. If
unsuccessful, it will then trip into FAULT LOCKOUT, which will require a manual reset. This is done to
protect the drive in case of a shorted motor.
