significantly improves torque at lower speeds.
6.1 How to determine “Motor no-load current” by operating the iG5A.

6.1.1 Set the frequency to 50Hz and start the motor.
Motor no-load current can only be determined with the

motor running off-load. Decouple the motor from the
machine before beginning!
Follow the instructions described in section 8 “How to

operate the Inverter” to set the output frequency to 50Hz
and start the motor.
Once the Inverter has reached 50.00Hz proceed to the step

below.
6.1.2 Use the navigation pad to locate the “CUr”

parameter.
Whilst the motor is running, press the down arrow on the

navigation pad until “CUr” is displayed (as shown opposite).
“CUr” is a read-only parameter which displays output
current in Amps.
Press "ENT" to select “Cur”. The output current will be

displayed.
Make a note of this value. It is “Motor no-load current”

in Amps and must be set in parameter H34.
Press the red “Stop/Reset” button to stop the motor.
Easy Start Guide
7. How to set a Parameter value

7.1 Use the left and right arrows on the navigation pad
to move between parameter groups.
From the initial screen (shown opposite), press the right

arrow on the navigation pad to move between each of the
four parameter groups. Select “H0".
Drive Function Function I/O

Group Group 1 “F” Group 2 “H” Group
7.2 Use the up and down arrows on the navigation pad

to move between parameters within the selected
parameter group.
In this example, we will set

Parameter H33 (Function Group 2
“H”, Parameter number 33) which
is motor rated current.
Press the up arrow on the

navigation pad repeatedly to move
from H0 to H1, H2, H3 etc. until you
reach H33.
7.3 Press "ENT" to edit a parameter.
Once the desired parameter is shown on the display, in this

case H33, press "ENT" to select it.
Easy Start Guide
7.4 Use the left and right arrows on the navigation pad
to move between digits. Use the up and down arrows to
increase or decrease the digit value.
In this example, the motor nameplate states 4.7A at 230V

so we will change the default value from 5.0 to 4.7.
Press up to Press left to Press down to

change to 0 to 7 change digit change 5 to to 4
7.5 Press "ENT" to save changes. Press "ENT" again to

confirm.
Once the value of H33 has been changed to 4.7 press

"ENT" to save changes.
The display will then flash indicating that the change needs
to be confirmed.
Press "ENT" again to confirm the change or wait to cancel

the change and return to the edit screen in the previous
step.
7.6 Parameter value is set.
Now H33 has been successfully set. The screen will return
to the parameter list.
Repeat the steps above to set the value of other

parameters. See section 5 for recommended settings.
Press the left or right keys on the navigation pad to return to

the Drive Group (ie. the group which does not start with F, H
or I).
Easy Start Guide
8. How to operate the Inverter

8.1 Set the required speed.
Use the right navigation key to cycle through the F, H and I

parameter groups until you reach the “Drive” group - the
display will show 0.50 or your selected frequency.
Press “ENT” to edit this value and use the navigation keys
to change the value as required (eg. to 50.00). Press “ENT”
to save changes.
Note: If the motor is running, changes to the frequency

value will take effect immediately (ie. no need to save).
8.2 Press the green “Run” button to start the motor.
The green “Run” button will start the motor. The motor will
accelerate to the speed set in step 1 (above) in the time
defined by the “ACC” parameter found in the “Drive”
parameter group.
Motor speed can be changed whilst the motor is running by

modifying the frequency value as described in 8.1 above.
When the motor is running, the “RUN” light will be

displayed. The “FWD” or “REV” light will also be displayed
depending on the direction of rotation.
8.3 Press the red “Stop/Rst” button to stop the motor.
The red “Stop/Rst” button will stop the motor.
The time taken (in seconds) to stop the motor is determined

by the “dEC” parameter which can be found in the “Drive”
parameter group.

The CM terminal output is 24V DC when the
Inverter is connected to a power supply. This is
provided as a 24V output only and has no other
function.
When the P1 terminal receives 24V (ie. when

the circuit with CM is complete), Run is
enabled and motor will turn. Conversely, when
it receives 0V (ie. when the circuit with CM is
broken), Run is disabled and the motor will
stop.
This behaviour is known as a Digital Input.

the Inverter to run. This can be useful if an

Note that this switch should be used in
conjunction with a Run/Stop switch as
described in section 11.
When the switch is in position “F” (forward), the

circuit between P2 and CM is incomplete and
the motor direction is set to forward.
When the switch is in position “R” (reverse),
the circuit between P2 and CM is complete and
the motor direction is set to reverse.

The display will show the default value of “0".
13.3 Press the up arrow on the navigation pad to

change the value from 0 to 1.
Press the up arrow on the navigation pad to change the

value of H93 from 0 to 1.
