Thank you for purchasing an Franklin Control Systems (formerly Cerus Industrial) VFD
To prevent injury and property damage, follow
these instructions during the installation and
operation of VFD.
Incorrect operation due to ignoring these
instructions may cause harm or damage to
personnel and/or equipment. The following
symbols are used throughout the manual to
highlight important information.
■
The meaning of each symbol in this manual and on your
equipment, is as follows.
This is the safety alert symbol.
Read and follow instructions carefully to avoid a dangerous situation.
This symbol alerts the user to the presence of “dangerous voltage” inside the
product that might cause bodily harm or electricshock.
■
This manual should be given to the person who actually
uses the VFD and is responsible for its maintenance.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER This symbol indicates death or serious
injury can occur if you do not follow
instructions.
WARNING This symbol indicates the possibility of
death or serious injury.
CAUTION This symbol indicates the possibility o
f
damage to VFD or other components.
3
Do not remove VFD cover for wiring or periodic inspections
while power is applied or the unit is in operation.
Otherwise, electric shock could occur.
Wiring and periodic inspections should be performed at
least 5 minutes after disconnecting the input power with
DC link voltage below 30VDC.
Otherwise, electric shock could occur.
Operate VFD and control devices with dry hands.
Otherwise, electric shock could occur.
Do not use VFD if power or motor cable is damaged.
Otherwise, electric shock could occur.
Install VFD on a non-flammable surface. Do not place
flammable materials nearby.
Otherwise, fire could occur.
Disconnect the input power if VFD has beendamaged.
Otherwise, it could result in a secondary accident and fire.
Do not touch VFD after shutting down or disconnecting it.
It can remain hot for a few minutes.
Otherwise, bodily injuries such as skin-burn or damage could occur.
Do not apply power to a damaged VFD or to VFD with missing
parts.
Otherwise, electric shock could occur.
Do not allow lint, paper, wood chips, dust, metallic chips or
other foreign material into the drive.
Otherwise, fire or accident could occur
WARNING
CAUTION

(1)Handling and installation
Check VFD environmental conditions and electrical requirements before purchasing VFD.
Do not stack VFD boxes higher than standard 48”cube height when palletizing for storage.
Do not place heavy items on VFD.
Install and wire VFD according to the instructions in this manual.
Do not open the cover during delivery.
Do not drop VFD or subject it to hard impact.
Take protective measures against ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) before touching control boards during
inspection, installation or repair.
(2)Wiring
Input power wires should be connected to R/L1, S/L2 and T/L3 VFD terminals for three-phase.
Power Ground and Motor Ground should be connected to a VFD ground terminal.
Do not connect power factor correction capacitors, surge suppressors, or RFI filter to the VFD
output.
The phase sequence on VFD terminals U/T1, V/T2, W/T3 to motor will affect the direction of
motor rotation. The input power phase sequence does not affect a direction of motor rotation.
Incorrect VFD terminal wiring could result in VFD and/or equipment damage.
Reversing the polarity (+/-) of the digital control terminals can damage VFD.
Perform wiring after VFD has been mounted. Otherwise, electric shock or bodily injury can occur.
Do not modify VFD internal components or circuits.
(3)Start-up
Check if input power voltage is within acceptable range before applying power to VFD
Check all the motor data and control parameters when VFD is powered. Some parameter
values might require adjustment depending on the application.
Start VFD in forward direction and check the motor rotation. Swap any two motor leads to change
the motor rotation when VFD power is off. It is not recommended to correct motor rotation by
using reverse start command to run motor forward.
Run motor up to full speed and check if system has resonance frequencies (vibration) in the normal
speed range. Make notes at what frequencies the vibration started and stopped. Set these frequencies
in Skip Frequency parameters to prevent a system vibration.
Check the motor run current on VFD display while running at full speed and if it is higher than motor
FLA, check motor wiring and for any mechanical problems (valves, dampers, etc.) that could create
extra load on motor shaft.
PRECAUTIONS
5
(4)Operation
When the Auto restart function is selected, VFD can restart multiple times automatically during
operation.
If restart after fault reset is selected, the VFD can start automatically after fault reset.
Do not modify VFD internal components and circuits.
Set correct motor data from the motor nameplate and overload protection parameters for proper
motor overload protection.
The use of any disconnecting device (contactor, disconnect etc.) in motor circuit during VFD run can
cause a damage of VFD power components. Stop VFD before opening the motor circuit with disconnect
or contactor.
Power factor capacitors and generators may become overheated and damaged due to harmonics
distortion created by VFD.
Use, if possible, an inverter rated motor or motor with insulation class “F” or higher. The VFD generates
high frequency output pulses with spikes, which can deteriorate motor winding insulation and
eventually damage the motor. The longer distance to the motor the higher amplitude of these voltage
spikes will be applied to motor winding. Any cables with paralleled wires will increase the amplitude of
these spikes at motor terminals.
Install output reactor or filter to protect motor winding insulation based on distance range from VFD
to a motor specified in section 2.3 - Basic Configuration. Install an output reactor for shorter distance
than specified on page 3-7 if motor is old or if insulation class is lower than “F”.
VFD can operate motor at frequencies higher than 50HZ or 60Hz. Verify the maximum allowed
speed with motor and machinery manufacturers prior to increasing a VFD output frequency
because it can overheat motor or damage machinery.
(5)Safety
If required, provide an emergency mechanical brake to prevent any hazardous conditions
if VFD fails during operation.
Some VFD parameters are set as default to automatically start VFD in some applications. Disable
these parameters if automatic start is not safe for personnel or equipment.
(6)Maintenance, Inspection and Parts Replacement
Disconnect all motor leads from VFD before checking the motor insulation with a megohmmeter. The
Megger tester 1000VDC output can damage the VFD power components.
Refer to Chapter 9 for periodic inspection and parts replacement details.
(7)Disposal
Dispose of VFD properly as industrial equipment waste.
