Additional information
No. Name Information
1NOM
FREQ Hz
Defines the motor nominal frequency (see the motor rating plate).
2 SILENT Defines the drive switching frequency. Note: The higher the frequency the more electromagnetic
noise and the shorter the allowed motor cable length to comply with the European EMC
regulations. See Technical data on page 22. Note: The switching frequency adapts to the
ACS55 temperature.
3 LOAD Optimises the output voltage and frequency characteristics according to the load. Select P&F for
the squared torque (e.g. pumps and fans) and CT for the constant torque loads (e.g. conveyors).
ACS55 automatically boosts the starting voltage 10% to compensate the motor losses and to
increase the starting torque.
4 JOG Hz Defines the jogging frequency. Activate the jogging function on by connecting 12…24 VDC to digital input 3 ("JOG").
(Drive accelerates or decelerates to the jogging frequency, and keeps it until the input is switched off.)
5 RELAY Selects the drive state the normally open contact of the relay output indicates. FLT = Fault. Contact is opened while
at a fault state or at a power off state. RUN = Running. Contact is closed while running.
6AI
OFFSET
Activates a living zero supervision for the analogue input. 4 mA (2 V) = ACS55 trips on a fault if the value drops
below the limit. See section Speed controlling on page 20 for information on analogue input scaling.
7AUTO-
RESET
Activates the automatic reset function for the following faults: Undervoltage, overvoltage, analogue input loss.
ON = ACS55 will try to reset automatically three seconds after a fault trip. Maximum number of resets is ten in three
minutes. If exceeded, ACS55 stops and will not attempt a new reset. See also Status indications and fault tracing on
page 21.
Warning! If the start signal is on, the motor will be started after a reset. Make sure that this will not cause danger.
8 HI FREQ Defines the maximum output frequency. OFF: Max. frequency = value defined by the NOM FREQ HZ switch. ON:
Max. frequency = value defined by the NOM FREQ HZ switch + value of HI FREQ potentiometer. See Control
potentiometers on page 16.

Control potentiometers
The control potentiometers can be adjusted using a screwdriver. By default, all potentiometers are in their middle position.
MOTOR I
NOM
Calculate MOTOR I NOM with the equation below or pick a value from the MOTOR I NOM selection chart
below. ACS55 estimates the temperature of the motor based on the measured output current and the
defined motor nominal current. The drive trips if the estimated temperature implies motor overheating.
Note: If motor cables are long causing large capacitive currents, it might be necessary to increase the
MOTOR I NOM setting.
ACC/DEC Defines the acceleration and deceleration time from minimum to maximum frequency and vice versa in
seconds. The longer the ACC/DEC time, the more slowly ACS55 will follow the given reference.
HI FREQ Limits the output frequency to a desired value between nominal frequency and nominal frequency + 70 Hz.
To use this potentiometer, turn the high frequency mode on with the HI FREQ DIP switch. See DIP switches
on page 14.

Connecting power supply and motor
Warning! Before installation ensure that the main supply is off.
Note: Ensure power supply is correct! Connecting 230 VAC to the ACS55 unit rated for 115 VAC input will damage
the drive!
Warning! If the heat sink is not earthed properly, you can get an electric shock if you touch the heat sink.
Note: Use only supplied M4x8 Combi screws. Maximum allowed intrusion depth for the grounding screws is
6mm.
Follow local rules for cable cross sections. Use 60°C (140°F) rated power cable, or 75°C (167°F) rated cable if
ambient temperature is above 30°C (86°F). See also Additional cabling and EMC instructions on page 19.
Earth leakage current of the ACS55 can exceed 3.5 mA AC / 10 mA DC. According to EN50178, ACS55 may only
be used in permanent installation.

Additional cabling and EMC instructions
Follow these instructions for trouble free operation and to ensure compatibility with the European EMC directive.
Motor cable
The motor cable must be a symmetrical three conductor cable with a concentric PE conductor or a four conductor cable with a
concentric shield. Braided metallic screen is recommended, e.g. type MCCMK (NK Cables).
- Twist the cable screen wires together into a bundle, and connect to the earthing terminal . Keep the bundle as short as possible.
- Clamp the cable screen as shown in the figure when internal or external EMC filter is used.
- At the motor end the motor cable screens must be earthed 360 degrees with an EMC cable gland or the screen wires must be twisted
together into a bundle not longer than 5 times its width and connected to the PE terminal of the motor.
Control cables
Control cables must be multi-core cables with a braided copper wire screen.
A double shielded twisted pair cable is recommended for the analogue
signals.
- Twist the screen together into a bundle and connect to terminal SCR. Keep
the bundle as short as possible.
- Clamp the control cable as shown in the figure (EMC units only).
- Route the motor cable away from the control wires and the power supply
cable to avoid electromagnetic interference (distance > 20 cm).
Note: Never mix 24 VDC and 115/230 VAC signals in the same cable.

Speed controlling
The analogue input gives the speed (frequency) reference for ACS55. The correspondence between the analogue input and the
reference depends on the settings of the DIP switches as shown below. Output frequency follows the reference changes as defined by
the ACC/DEC potentiometer.
High frequency mode OFF (default) High frequency mode ON
DIP switch settings:
HI FREQ = OFF
AI OFFSET = OFF (curve a) or ON** (curve b)
MOTOR NOM FREQ = 50 or 60 Hz
DIP switch settings:
HI FREQ = ON
AI OFFSET = OFF (curve a) or ON** (curve b)
MOTOR NOM FREQ = 50 or 60 Hz
The output frequency is limited to the selected
nominal frequency of the motor.
Actual output frequency is limited to a value between fNand fN+ 70 Hz by the
HI FREQ potentiometer. The potentiometer does not affect the scaling of the
analogue input.
* Use AI jumper to select voltage or current signal. See page 18.
** To protect the drive against analogue input signal loss, the drive trips if the signal value is below 2 V (4 mA).
