Danger
!Operations without following instructions can
cause personal injury or death
Attention
!Operations without following instructions can
cause personal injury or damage to product or
other equipment.
1.2 Notes For Installations
Danger
!
·Please install the drive on fire-retardant material such as metal.
·Keep the drive away from combustible materials.
·Keep the drive away from explosive gas.
·Only qualified personnel shall wire the drive.
·Note that the control terminal of EV1000 drive is of ELV (Extra
Low Voltage) circuit, therefore, do not connect the control terminal
with other devices directly. For example, before connecting the
RS485 terminal with the PC’s RS232 terminal, an adapter with
isolating protections must be connected in between;
·Never wire the drive unless the input AC supply is totally
disconnected; otherwise, there is danger of electric shock. During
power-on, do not touch the cables, control terminals, radiator and
the pore plate on the housing of the drive.
·The drive must be properly earthed to reduce electrical accident.
·Install the cover before switching on the drive, to reduce the
danger of electric shock and explosion.
·
For drives that have been stored for longer than 2 years, increase
its input voltage gradually before supplying full rated input voltage
to it in order to avoid electric shock and explosion.
·Perform the maintenance job after confirming that the charging
LED is off or the DC Bus voltage is below 36V.
·Only trained professionals can change the components, it is
prohibited to leave wires or metal parts inside the drive to avoid
the risk of fire.
·Parameter settings of the control board that has been changed
must be revised, otherwise accidents may occur.
·The bare portions of the power cables must be bound with
insulation tapes.
·When using optional parts, it is recommended to use those
provided by Emerson Network Power, to secure safety.
Attention
!
·Don’t carry the drive by its cover. Its cover cannot sustain the
weight and may drop.
·
Please install the drive on a strong support, failing which the drive
may fall off.
·Don’t install the drive in places where water pipes may leak onto
it.
·Don't allow screws, washers and other metal foreign matters to
fall inside the drive, otherwise there is a danger of fire or damage;
·Don't operate the drive if parts are not complete; there is a
danger of a fire or human injury;
·Don't install the drive under direct sunshine; it may be damaged
by heat;
·
Don’t short circuit P1/PB and terminal (-) , there is a danger of fire
or the drive may be damaged.
·Cable lugs must be connected to main terminals firmly.
·Don’s apply supply voltage (AC 110V or higher) to the control
terminals except terminals TA, TB and TC.
1.3 Notes For Using The Drive
Pay attention to the following issues when using EV1000
Series drive:
1.3.1 About Motor And Load
Compared to working at mains frequency, there will be some
increase in temperature, noise and vibration in the motor.
The EV1000 Series are voltage source inverters. Its output
voltage is in PWM wave. Being non-sinusoidal, there will be
some harmonics.
Low Speed Rotation with Constant Torque
When a standard motor is driven at low speed for a long time,
there will be insufficient cooling for a self-ventilated motor.
Overheating can result in insulation damaged. Special
variable frequency motor is recommended for constant
torque operation at low speed.
Motor’s over-temperature protecting threshold
The drive can protect the motor from over-temperature. If the
power rating of the drive is greater than the motor, be sure to
adjust the protection parameters to ensure the motor is
properly protected.
Operate above 50Hz
When running the motor above 50Hz, there will be increase
in vibration and noise. The rate at which the torque is
available from the motor is inversely proportionally to its
increase in running speed. Ensure that the motor can still
provide sufficient torque to the load.
Lubrication of mechanical devices
Over time, the lubricants in mechanical devices, such as
gear box, geared motor, etc. when running at low speed, will
deteriorate. Frequent maintenance is recommended.
Regenerative Energy
When lifting load, regenerative energy is produced, the drive
will trip on overvoltage when it cannot absorb the
regenerative energy of the load. Therefore, a proper braking
unit is required.
