Safe Torque Off (STO) Safe Torque Off is a safety function for the electrical power drive, see chapter Safe Torque Off (STO), page 24. EMC The compressor with frequency inverter (FI) meets the EU EMC directive 2014/30/ EU see chapter Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), page 22. 4 Mounting Information Mount the VARIPACK frequency inverter always vertically. The fixtures for the power cables and control cables are delivered as standard in the accessories kit and must be mounted together with the ferrite core or the ferrite cores (see figure 11, page 18) up to VARIPACK housing size FJU+145, in order to achieve the EMC class C2 according to EN61800-3. 4.1 Transport and storage ! NOTICE Risk of damage to the VARIPACK frequency inverter! Do not lift or set down the VARIPACK frequency inverter at the connections. Place it on clean, flat and dry surfaces only. Storage in well-ventilated places and protected from high temperatures, moisture, dust and metal particles only! Storage temperature: -25°C .. +55°C. Transport temperature: -25°C .. +70°C. 4.2 Ventilation ! NOTICE The VARIPACK frequency inverters give off heat in operation. Insufficient or blocked air circulation and air supply at the ventilation slots and at the heat sink of the VARIPACK frequency inverter can lead to failure due to overheating! Observe the minimum clearances for ventilation (see figure 2, page 7)! When two or more VARIPACK frequency inverters are mounted side by side, add up the clearances! When using filter fans, the required air volume flow (m3/h) must be carefully determined to ensure sufficient cooling of all electrical devices in the switch cabinet. For protection from temperatures below 0°C and for avoiding condensation, a switch cabinet heater may be required, depending on the installation site and the climatic conditions. Rated values of the VARIPACK fans, see table 1, page

FDU+6 and FDU+12 and all other types in which the control module was dismounted: • Replace control module and slide it upwards until the clip locks. • Screw in captive screw. • Place the control module cover until the clip locks and tighten it. Before performing any work on the electrical system: DANGER Life-threatening voltages inside the frequency inverter housing! Contact can lead to serious injuries or death. Never open the FI housing in operation! Switch off the main switch and secure it against being switched on again. Wait for at least 5 minutes until all capacitors have been discharged! Before switching on again, close the FI housing. DANGER As soon as the VARIPACK frequency inverter is energized, the capacitors in the FI DC link are charged. From this moment on, all electrical components in the VARIPACK frequency inverter present risks! The operation of the VARIPACK frequency inverter requires the following electrical connections: • VARIPACK earth connection. • VARIPACK power connections (power cable and motor cable). • VARIPACK control connections. For the selection of the cable diameters, fuses and tightening torques of the earth and power connections, see table 3, page 16. Use fuses of type gL/gG or mount thermal overload switch of the appropriate characteristic. 5.1 Earth connection EN 61800-5-1 (product standard for adjustable speed electrical power drive systems) and DIN EN 50178 DIN VDE 0160 (Electronic equipment for use in power installations) have special earth requirements as soon as an earth leakage current of 3.5 mA is exceeded. • The protective earth conductor cross-section for the line conductors (L1, L2, L3) < 16mm² must, in single wire, be 10 mm2 or must have two wires with the respective phase cross-section each. • For line conductors (L1, L2, L3) ≥ 16 mm² and ≤ 35 mm², the protective earth conductor must have a cross section of 16 mm². • For line conductors (L1, L2, L3) > 35 mm², the protective earth conductor cross-section must be at least 50% of that of the phases used (L1, L2, L3). All exposed metal parts in the VARIPACK frequency inverter are protected with a basic insulation and connected to the protective earth conductor. WARNING The VARIPACK frequency inverters can generate a direct current in the protective earth conductor. Risk of electric shock upon contact! Wherever a residual current device (RCD) or a residual current monitoring device (RCM) is used for protection against direct or indirect contact, only a RCD or RCM of type B (according to IEC/EN 60755) is permitted on the power supply side! Residual current circuit breakers (RCD or FI switch) • Use only FI circuit breakers (RCD) sensitive to all types of currents of type B that are capable of also detecting residual direct currents. • Select the RCD with respect to the system configuration and environmental conditions. 5.2 Power connections (voltage supply cable and motor cable) DANGER Wrong or insufficient earthing may result in lifethreatening electric shocks upon contact with the VARIPACK frequency inverter! Earth the complete VARIPACK frequency inverter permanently and check the earth contacts at regular intervals! Prior to any intervention in the device, check all voltage connections for proper insulation. Graphical explanations, see figure 11, page 18. • Guide voltage supply cable and motor cable through the intended cable entries under the cable clips into the VARIPACK frequency inverter (see figure 11, page 18) and connect to the power terminals. Observe the tightening torques of the terminals (see table 3, page 16). – Connect the voltage supply cable to the terminals L1, L2, L3 and the protective earth conductor. – Connect the motor cable to the terminals U(M1), V(M2), W(M3) and the protective earth conductor. – Observe the information regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) (see chapter Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), page 22)! • As standard, the VARIPACK frequency inverters are equipped with a shut-off function, the Safe Torque Off (STO). Due to the STO function, the main contactor before or after the VARIPACK frequency inverter may be omitted (see chapter Schematic wiring diagrams semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors, page 26). For further information on the STO function, see chapter Safe Torque Off (STO), page 24.

Information The STO inputs must be activated to allow the compressor to start! STO (input circuit) • Function (see chapter Safe Torque Off (STO), page 24) – X10: 1: Input A and X10: 3: Input B. STO inputs (Safe Off Torque). Inputs must be switched simultaneously. – X10: 2: Common and X10: 4: Common. Terminals are connected internally.

In addition to direct evaporation pressure control, the condenser fan can also be controlled via a 0 .. 10 V output signal and a second compressor can be connected. 5.4.1 Capacity control of the compressor depending on an external setpoint signal "Min .. Max" control characteristic The VARIPACK frequency inverters can be activated without change in parameters by a 0 .. 10 V or 4 .. 20 mA signal according to the "Min .. Max" control characteristic. • In the "Min .. Max" control characteristic, the compressor will start as soon as the DI1 (X13: 2) start command is given. The setpoint signal will control the frequency linearly between the minimum and maximum frequencies of the compressor. – If a 0 .. 10 V signal is used, it must be connected to the input AI2 (X11: 2). – If a 4 .. 20 mA signal is used, it must be connected to the input AI1 (X11: 1). Graphical explanation of the "Min .. Max" control characteristic, see figure 12, page 20 "0 .. Max" control characteristic Alternatively, the "Min .. Max" control characteristic can be switched to "0 .. Max" by a change in parameter. • In the "0 .. Max" control characteristic, in addition to the DI1 (X13: 2) start command, a setpoint signal of > 1% (0.1 V) is required for starting the compressor. The setpoint signal presets the frequency to a value between 0 Hz and the maximum frequency. If the signal is > 1% but lower than the minimum frequency of the compressor, the compressor will run at the minimum frequency. Graphical explanation of the "0 .. Max" control characteristic, see figure 13, page 21.
5.4.2 Capacity control of the compressor as a
function of the evaporation pressure To control the capacity of the compressor as a function of the evaporation pressure will require the optional extension module for pressure control. Installation of the extension module kit (part number 347 972 01): • Plug the extension module into the top slot of the FI control module and tighten the screw. • Ratiometric pressure transmitter – Install the pressure transmitter labelled "2CP5-71-49" on the low pressure side. – Install the pressure transmitter labelled "2CP5-71-47" on the high pressure side. – In the case of Schrader valves, install the pressure transmitters without a copper gasket ring to ensure safe opening. For the wiring of the extension module, see chapter Schematic wiring diagrams semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors, page 26. Function and technical data of the extension module • X1: 1, 2 and 3 – Input for ratiometric low pressure transmitter. – Correct function is indicated by blue LED. • X1: 4, 5 and 6 – Input for ratiometric high-pressure transmitter – Correct function is indicated by red LED. • X2: 1 – Analogue output for transmitting the low-pressure value to the FI (X11: 1: AI1). • X2: 2 – Analogue output for transmitting the high-pressure value to the FI (X11:2: AI2). • X3: 1 – Input for 24 V DC power supply coming from the FI (X12: 5). • X3: 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 – 24 V = outputs. – Allow simple wiring of the digital inputs of the frequency inverter. • X4: 4 – Digital output for automatic detection of the extension module by the frequency inverter (X12: 3: DI6). • X4: 5 – Digital input for receiving the start command for the 2nd compressor of frequency inverter (X12: 4: DO3). – Switches the relay X5. • X5: 1 and 2 – Potential-free relay for starting the 2nd compressor. – Max. voltage: 250 V AC. – Protection from inductive or capacitive loads must take place by external measures. – Max. current: 6 A of resistive load. 5.5 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) For an overview, see figure 14, page 23. The VARIPACK frequency inverters comply with the EU EMC directives 2014/30/EU and 2004/108/EC. Interference immunity: • EN61000-6-1:2007, Immunity for residential, commercial and light-industrial environments. • EN61000-6-2:2005, Immunity for industrial environments. The emission of the frequency inverters is regulated by the product standard EN61800-3, which distinguishes between categories C1 − C4. Compared with the generic standards, according to EN61800-3:2004, the category C2 corresponds to EN61000-6- 4:2007+A1: 2011. The category C3 is not transferable. The text below only refers to C categories. General EMC requirements for meeting category C2: • Use of a shielded cable between FI and motor (motor cable), see figure 11, page 18. – Connect shield on both sides. – Use a compressor terminal box made of metal and a screwed EMC cable gland. – Guide the shield in the switch cabinet to the VARIPACK and connect it to the cable fixture of the VARIPACK. • The motor cable – should not cross other cables. If it does, crossovers must be made at a 90° angle! – should be installed separately from the supply line and the control lines, if possible. If a parallel installation is unavoidable, maintain a clearance of at least 0.25 m. Detailed information on the harmonics see chapter Analysis of the harmonics FDU+6 .. FKU+260, page 23. WARNING Possible high-frequency EMC interferences of the voltage supply system! FDU+6 .. FEU+16 are classified as professionally used device according to EN61000-3-2:2014. Before connecting them to the public lowvoltage supply network, approval from the energy supply company must be obtained. Information FEU+24 - FKU+260 meet all requirements of the standard EN61000-3-12:2011 (see figure 14, page 23). FDU+6 .. FJU+145: • are equipped as standard with an integrated EMC filter for category C2. – However, for some types, a metal switch cabinet with attenuation must be used, to ensure that the limit values of the radiated interferences are not exceeded (see figure 14, page 23). If the EMC requirements of category C3 are sufficient, the line length between FI and motor may be up to 50 m. In this case, it will not be necessary to use a special switch cabinet either. WARNING Radio frequency interferences in the voltage power network possible! In a residential environment, this drive constellation may cause radio frequency interferences which may require mitigation measures. FKU+180 .. FKU+260: • are equipped with an integrated EMC filter for category C3. To fulfil category C2, the external EMC filter, part number 347 955 02, designation 3359-250-28, is required at the input of the frequency inverter. Assumptions: Rsce = 120 at 400 V FEU+24 - FKU+260 meet all requirements of the standard EN61000-3-12:2011 (see figure 14, page 23). 5.6 Safe Torque Off (STO) As standard, the VARIPACK frequency inverters are equipped with a certified and safety-tested shut-off function, Safe Torque Off (STO). • This function can be used as cut-out device for prevention of unexpected start-up as described in EN60204-1, 5.4. This so-called STO function makes sure that no drive energy is transferred to the motor as long as the function is active. Thus the compressor motor is safely free of torque but not de-energized. This function was tested at the factory. • The STO function is active if the STO circuit is open or less than 21.6 V are applied. It then cancels each compressor start command and also start commands that could be triggered internally by a firmware error. The hardware of the STO control circuit consists of two redundant channels which are designed in a way that, in case a channel fails internally, the other channel is still able to prevent any unintentional FI operation. The hardware meets the socalled high requirements regarding functional safety. Due to the related classification as high demand mode, their functionality needs to be checked once a year. • Due to the STO function, the main contactor before or after the VARIPACK may be omitted. Instead of being switched as before via the main contactor, the STO, switched via the high pressure switch or other safety-relevant protective functions, can shut off the compressor directly. DANGER Risk of electric shock! The STO function is not a galvanic isolation of the voltage supply and may therefore not be used for maintenance or repair work! It is only an electronic protective function during normal operation of the VARIPACK frequency inverter. Prior to performing maintenance or repair work, the VARIPACK frequency inverter must be completely disconnected from the mains supply using a suitable electrical disconnecting device and proper insulation of all voltage connections must be checked! Switch off the main switch and secure it against being switched on again. Wait for at least 5 minutes until all capacitors have been discharged! Information The STO function is a factory built-in and tested function. Repairs on VARIPACK frequency inverters equipped with STO function may only be carried out by authorized staff. Any unauthorized attempt to repair or dismantle the VARIPACK will void the guarantee and may impair the STO function. As soon as the VARIPACK frequency inverter will detect an internal STO error, it must be eliminated immediately. ! NOTICE Defined switching points are no longer guaranteed if lines are too long or incorrectly installed. Maximum line length to terminals X10/01, X10/03, X10/05 and X10/06: 25 m! • For high safety requirements, two independent STO control channels have been implemented in the hardware. The STO circuit is designed such that upon occurrence of an error in a channel, the second channel ensures that no inadvertent operation of the VARIPACK frequency inverter takes place. • The activated STO function overrides all attempts to start the compressor. This means that if the STO function is switched by one or both STO control inputs, the compressor will not start. This is also true if, for example, an internal software error should result in a start attempt. Safety specifications: According to EN ISO13849-1 and EN61800-5-2, the VARIPACK frequency inverters have the following safety characteristics: Safety levels reached by the frequency inverters ① SIL safety integrity level SIL3 PL performance level PLe Underlying safety characteristics ② PFH Average probability of a dangerous failure per hour 2,3 x 10-9 MTTFd Average time until a dangerous error is reached 100 years ③ DC diagnostic coverage 98.6% → high SFF Overall proportion of safe failures 99% → average TM service life 20 years Tab. 4: VARIPACK safety characteristics according to EN ISO12849-1 and EN61800-5-2 ①: The indicated safety levels and underlying safety characteristics are applicable to the VARIPACK frequency inverter if both STO inputs can be activated independently of each other. Depending on the integration into the system, the safety level of the complete system can be lower and must be calculated by the system manufacturer. ②: The safety characteristics used for determining the safety level are listed in order to allow calculation of the complete system. ③: The standard EN ISO13849 limits the MTTFd value to 100 years. STO function testing During the commissioning and during an interval to be defined by the system manufacturer on the basis of a risk assessment, all safety devices and the functions of the entire safety chain must be checked for correct functioning. Based on the schematic wiring diagrams (see chapter Operating modes, page 20), the STO function including the system integration can be checked using the following procedure: • Put the compressor into operation. • Trigger the high-pressure switch (F5). – The compressor must be switched off immediately and the frequency inverter must send an STO fault message. • Close the high pressure switch and/or the safety chain. – The STO fault is reset and the compressor is restarted after a defined time delay 5.7 Schematic wiring diagrams Connect the VARIPACK frequency inverter in accordance with the schematic wiring diagrams. Mount the control switches S1 to S3 in the switch cabinet. Individual connection of the compressor motor according to the selected motor version and design. For details concerning the motor connection, see inside the terminal box of the compressor. The schematic wiring diagrams include optional oil monitoring. Without such monitoring, the Delta-PII and OLC-K1, respectively and the components S3 and H2 can be omitted. The auxiliary relay K11 and the pressure switches F5 and F6 should in this case be installed in path 15 at the connection 14 of the SE-B1. In contrast to the safety levels obtained by the VARIPACK frequency inverters (PLe, SIL3), the system integration shown in the schematic wiring diagrams corresponds to a max. safety level of (PLd, SIL2). The actual safety levels valid for the entire system can exclusively be calculated by the system manufacturer! The obtainable safety level shown in the schematic wiring diagrams is usually satisfactory for refrigeration systems. For comparison: a simple contactor circuit that is usually used, without using two contactors with mutual monitoring connected in series, corresponds to a max. reachable safety level of PLc/SIL2. The required safety level must be defined by the system manufacturer on the basis of a risk assessment.

Compressor start and STO The compressor can only be started when it is released (STO input closed), the start command is given (DI1 closed) and the "start to start interval" and the "stop to start interval" (10 s) of the compressor have elapsed. When controlled via an external setpoint signal and a control characteristic ''0 .. Max'', a setpoint > 1% must additionally be applied. As soon as the start command is cancelled (DI1), the compressor is shut down via the ramps. If the release is cancelled (STO), however, it is directly switched off. "Ramps" To optimize the operating performance, the compressor ramps can be adjusted. For slow reacting systems such as water chillers or refrigeration systems with only one evaporator, we recommend selecting slower ramp times while compound systems may require faster ramps. Apart from the limitation of the external setpoint, these ramps define the frequency change for the "Force" function. As standard, the shortest ramps are set for the respective compressors. To start and stop the compressor, that means below the minimum frequency, the optimum ramps are fixed in the VARIPACK frequency inverter and therefore ensure a safe and reliable compressor start. "Start to start interval" (time rate between two compressor starts) The compressor start activated by a VARIPACK frequency inverter results in a lower mechanical stress on the compressor drive gear and less heating of the motor compared to a direct start. By this, a higher number of compressor starts per hour are allowed. An excessive number of compressor starts, however, should be avoided
The "start to start interval" limits the maximum number
of compressor starts. If the defined time since the last compressor start has not yet elapsed, the compressor start is delayed. If the compressor is operated for a longer period than the "start to start interval", it can be restarted immediately after the stop. As standard, the minimum "start to start interval" recommended for the compressor is set. It can be extended to any desired period in order to improve the operating performance of the system and to increase the system efficiency by avoiding very short cycles. If required, shorter time values than the preset and recommended ones can be configured. Relay “Compressor running” (DO2) The relay "Compressor running” indicates the operating condition of the compressor. It can be used, for example, for switching off the oil heater or switching on the additional fan or as a signal for the electronic expansion valve. The relay is switched on after a successful compressor start and after having reached the minimum frequency and is switched off as soon as the frequency falls below the minimum value. "Hold time after start at minimum frequency" In temperature-controlled systems with only one compressor, there may be significant pressure drops in the low-pressure circuit after the compressor start. The reason for this is that, due to the high setpoint deviation, the compressor is powered up too fast so that the pressure cannot be regulated quickly enough by the expansion valve. This can be avoided by setting a time interval after the start during which the minimum frequency of the compressor is maintained before the compressor switches to normal operation. As standard, the value of 0 s is set. Operation at 50 Hz (Force) In case of long pipelines and rising lines or a not optimally selected suction gas line, there is a risk of oil migration during the long partial load phases. If the frequency and therefore the mass flow is increased, the oil can be circulated back and a compressor shut off can be avoided. This can be realized by the "Force" function of the VARIPACK frequency inverter. If a lack of oil in the oil tank or compressor is signaled, the digital input DI2 of the VARIPACK frequency inverter can be activated to operate the compressor at at least 50 Hz. "Resonance avoidance" If vibrations that are not easy to eliminate occur in a specific range of operating frequencies, these frequencies can be avoided. For this, two frequency ranges can be defined in which the compressor should not remain during operation. When the setpoint exceeds the defined initial value, the frequency remains at this value until the setpoint has exceeded the end value and the frequency range is skipped. When shutting down, the frequency is maintained until the setpoint has fallen below the initial value. Automatic limitation of the maximum frequency During operation in the field weakening mode, the VARIPACK frequency inverter limits automatically the operating frequency as soon as the maximum operating current of the compressor or the VARIPACK frequency inverter is reached. This allows an economic dimensioning of the combination of compressor and VARIPACK without running the risk that the VARIPACK frequency inverter under exceptional operating conditions (high condensing temperature, start-up or start after a long standstill) switches to fault due to overcurrent. 6.1 Extension module for pressure control Graphical explanations of the control functions of the extension module for pressure control described in the following sections, see figure 24, page 36. Basic function and minimum settings If the extension module for pressure control is connected with the VARIPACK frequency inverter, this is immediately detected by the VARIPACK frequency inverter which then enables the relevant parameters for the extension module. Apart from the basic settings, at least the following parameters must be set for direct control: • Refrigerant • Evaporation temperature • Evaporation temperature limiter (pump down) • Condensing temperature The compressor control is based on the so-called pump down logic. For this, the digital start input (DI1) must be permanently closed or can be used to release a control switch. The compressor is switched on as soon as the evaporation temperature exceeds the setpoint and stops when the evaporation temperature falls below the set value of the evaporation temperature limiter (pump down). In operation, the VARIPACK frequency inverter controls the set evaporation temperature by regulating the compressor frequency and by switching on/off the fixed frequency compressor (relay FsC2, X5: 1 and 2). The regulation speed can be adjusted to the requirements by setting the P band. The set condensing temperature can be regulated via the analogue output by means of the 0 .. 10 V signal. In order to guarantee the most efficient level of operation, it is recommended to set the minimum allowable condensing temperature of the compressors if the system allows doing so. If the condensing temperature exceeds the setpoint, the rotation speed of the fans is increased accordingly. By adjusting the P band to the system inertia, the quality of the control can be optimized. In addition, a minimum fan speed can be set, if necessary. "Evaporation temperature setpoint 2" By a signal to the input DI3, the evaporation temperature setpoint 2 is activated. "Condensing temperature setpoint 2" By a signal to the input DI4, the condensing temperature setpoint 2 is activated. This value can be used, for example, as setpoint for heat recovery. "Condensing temperature limiter" The condensing temperature limiter reduces the compressor frequency as soon as the set condensing temperature is exceeded. Thus a cut out on high-pressure can be avoided in many cases since the load on the condenser is reduced by lowering the frequency
"Electronic low-pressure switch"
The low-pressure switch function switches the compressor off as soon as the pressure falls below the set pressure value. In contrast to the evaporation temperature limiter (pump down), the compressor is immediately switched off as soon as this limit value is reached and is not shut down via the ramp. Moreover, a fault is stored in the fault memory of the VARIPACK frequency inverter. As soon as the evaporation temperature setpoint is exceeded, the compressor is restarted. "Electronic high-pressure switch" The high-pressure switch function switches the compressor off as soon as the set pressure value is exceeded. The standard setting and the maximum adjustable value corresponds to the maximum operating pressure of the compressor. The high-pressure switch is reset as soon as the temperature falls below the set value of the condensing temperature limiter. Information The electronic high-pressure switch function does not replace the type-examinated tested high-pressure switch according to EN378! 7 Data communication with the VARIPACK frequency inverter 7.1 Communication via the BEST SOFTWARE Information The requirement for installing and using the BEST SOFTWARE is a PC or a mobile device equipped with Windows XP or a later version.
