WARNING: Submersible pumps can develop very high pressure in some situations. Always use
a properly selected and installed pressure relief valve to prevent damage and injury from over-
pressurization of pipes and tanks. Installation of cut-off pressure switch is recommended.
Control Wiring: The start dry contact should be wired to VFD terminals CM and M7 or 1 and 2 in
enclosed VFD panel. If jumper is installed on start terminals, VFD will run when power turned on.

System Initial Start Up & Control Settings
APPLICATION SELECTION: Select either Submersible or Circulating pump to load preset programming. Refer
to the parameter table at the end of this quick-start for presets.
Verify Rotation
Move HOA switch to AUTO position and the VFD will begin to run the motor. Check the output ow and verify proper rotation. If rotation is
incorrect, stop the VFD, turn the VFD power off and wait 5 minutes. Swap two motor leads to change rotation.
The majority of drive setups can be accomplished by going through only one group; the setup [SET] group. This group was designed to
have start-up specic parameters to make start-up easy. Navigate to the SETUP group [SET] by pressing the SHIFT button once from
the main screen. Your display will show SET in the upper left hand corner of the display.
INPUT POWER # OF PHASES: Default is 3-Phase. Select 1-Phase for single-phase to three-phase conversion
application which will change a motor HP rating setting to 50% of the VFD rating.
RATED MOTOR HP: Put the motor horsepower rating from the motor nameplate.
RATED MOTOR CURRENT: Put the motor FLA (full load amps) rating from the motor nameplate.
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER RANGE: The SET-25 default is for a 0-100PSI transducer. Program the maximum
range of your pressure transducer. E.g. Program a value of 250PSI for a 250PSI transducer.

Advanced Control Features
These parameters are set to optimal and safe default settings for the Submersible Pump application and can be changed
in the eld to t application requirements. You may need to adjust some parameters to provide better control for your
system.
Pre-PID is designed for pump systems with long pipes that require lling pipe at every start. Upon PrePID time delay expiration or when
system pressure (PSI) exceeds the PrePID Exit Level, the VFD will switch to PID control and maintain a system pressure at pressure set-
point.
Note: SET-36 is set to 0.0Hz (Pre-PID is disabled by default) and can be enabled by changing SET-36 frequency.
- Pre-PID Settings (Pipe Fill Mode)
PRE-PID FREQUENCY: Navigate to SET-36 and put VFD frequency at which drive will run to ll an empty pipe.
Set this parameter for frequency above PID Low Frequency Limit and VFD will run to ll the pipe system for the
time delay set in SET-37 or until pressure exceeds the exit level set in SET-38. Default setting is 0.0 Hz.
PRE-PID STOP DELAY: This sets the time to ll an empty pipe. Test how much time it takes to ll an empty pipe
during startup and adjust as necessary. Default setting is 180 sec.
PRE-PID EXIT LEVEL: PSI level above which the VFD will switch to PID control mode to maintain a system
pressure at set-point. Default setting is 25 PSI.

PRESSURE SET-POINT: Set SET-26 to desired pressure (psi) that VFD needs to maintain. The default is 50PSI
and can be changed to any number within pressure transducer range. The pressure Set-point can be changed in
DRV-00 parameter in remote mode too (in local mode it shows Hz).
Parameter Programming Description
1) Press [MODE] or [SHIFT] key until the desired parameter group is displayed.
2) Press UP [▲] or DOWN [▼] keys to scroll to the desired parameter. If you know the desired parameter number, you can set its number
in the rst parameter #00 “Jump code” of any parameter group (except SET and DRV groups) and after pressing [ENTER] key display will
show that parameter.
3) Press [ENTER] key to enter the programming mode, which is indicated by a ashing cursor. Some parameters cannot be changed
during VFD run or fault modes. Refer to the manual to check if desired parameter can be programmed during run.
4) For selectable parameters press [▲] or [▼] keys to change parameter selection.
When programming a numerical value, the value will be changed from maximum to minimum by pressing UP or DOWN key. In order
to change any digit in a numeric value, use the SHIFT key to move the ashing cursor to that digit and UP or DOWN keys to adjust the
selected digit.
5) Press [▲] or [▼] keys to change the digit in numerical parameter value.

Determine No-Demand Frequency and PID Frequency Low Limit
PID LIMIT LOW: Turn the HOA switch to Auto position and run system with No demand. When system pressure
is at pressure set-point and frequency is stabilized, add 1Hz to this frequency and set it in SET-27. If system
pressure is above pressure set-point, the rst of three conditions for activation of the Sleep mode is met.
For Flat curve pumps Minimum frequency is typically 53-54Hz.
- Setting Sleep Mode
Sleep mode will stop the VFD in no-demand condition when system pressure is slightly above SET-26 set-point and output frequency is
below SET-32 Sleep mode frequency setting for SET-33 Sleep mode delay time. The most critical step is to determine and set a correct
SET-27 PID Frequency Low Limit.
Sleep Boost Mode: When pump system is ready to go into Sleep mode, it can increase a system pressure by some PSI to prevent
short cycling at low demand changes.
Pipe Leak protection: Refer to VFD manual for detailed description on Dual Demand and Pipe Leak features.
Pump Speed Limit by Well Water Level: Refer to VFD manual for details. Requires well level transducer.
SLEEP MODE FREQUENCY: Set this parameter to [SET-27]+0.5Hz. If VFD frequency is below SET-32, the
second condition for activation of the Sleep mode is met.
SLEEP MODE DELAY TIME: The SET-33 is a delay time to activate Sleep Mode when other two conditions
are met. If any of two above conditions is off, the Sleep Delay Timer will be reset.
SLEEP BOOST: The VFD will boost the system pressure by the programmed in SET-34 value before going to
sleep. Default is 3PSI for submersible and 2PSI for Centrifugal pumps.
Program a value of 0PSI to disable this feature.
SLEEP BOOST TIMER: When VFD is ready for sleep mode it will increase pressure set-point by Sleep Boost
value. When Set-point is met or Sleep Boost Timer SET-47 expires, VFD will activate sleep mode.

ATTENTION INSTALLER: PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTALLATION GUIDELINES MAY VOID WARRANTY.
A drive is a sensitive piece of power electronics that, when installed properly, will provide you with years of trouble-free operation.
While our drives have many built-in protective features, if the installation or application is incorrect, failures due to improper
protection or installation will not be covered under warranty. To avoid this ugly situation we have developed the Drive Installation
ABC’s. Know these basic ABC’s with every drive you purchase. An incorrectly applied or installed inverter can result in system
malfunction or reduction in product life as well as component damage. You must read and understand the manual thoroughly
before proceeding.
Installation Precautions
1) Handle the VFD with care to prevent damage to
the plastic components. Do not hold the VFD by
the front cover.
2) Do not mount the VFD in a location with vibration
(level higher than 5.9 m/sec2) such as installing the
VFD on a press or other moving equipment.
3) Install in a location where temperature is within the
permissible range.
4) The VFD can be hot during operation. Install it on
a non-combustible surface.
5) Mount the VFD on a flat, vertical, and level surface.
VFD orientation must be vertical (top up) for proper heat
dissipation. Also leave sufficient clearances around the
VFD. Increase minimum clearance by one inch for 50~75 HP
VFDs, by two inches for 100~150 HP VFDs, by three inches
for 200~300 HP VFDs, by four inches for 350~700 HP VFDs
to provide sufficient cooling airflow.
6) Do not mount the VFD in direct sunlight or near other
heat sources.
7) The VFD should be mounted in a Pollution Degree
2 environment. If the VFD is going to be installed
in an environment with a high probability of dust,
metallic particles, mists, corrosive gases, or other
contaminates, the VFD must be located inside the
appropriate electrical enclosure of the proper NEMA
or IP rating.
8) When two or more VFDs are installed or a ventilation
fan is mounted in the VFD panel, the VFD and
ventilation fan must be installed in proper positions
to keep the internal ambient temperature of the VFD
below the permissible value. If they are installed in
improper positions, the ambient temperature of the
VFD will rise.
9) Install the VFD using screws or bolts to ensure the
VFD is firmly fastened.

Saving parameters to the keypad is recommended after the start-up is performed and you are satised with pump system operation. If the
programming is changed later and your VFD is no longer operating the way you intended it to, you can always load your previously saved
parameters from the keypad. Additionally, the programmed keypad can be used to copy same parameter settings to another VFD.
SAVE PARAMETERS TO KEYPAD: Change FG2-91 to YES to save parameters to the keypad. After pressing
ENTER key, this parameter will go back to NO after saving is done (approximately one minute).
LOAD PARAMETERS FROM KEYPAD: Change FG2-92 to YES to load parameters from the keypad. After

System Validation
1. Switch HOA in the AUTO position with low demand and run VFD for one minute after the system is at pressure set-point. The VFD
should maintain a set-point and not go into sleep mode.
2. Close demand completely and VFD should drop frequency to minimum and after delay time it should boost system pressure (if boost
is enabled) and go to sleep mode.
3. Open low demand and VFD should wake up after pressure drops below the wake-up pressure.
4. Run VFD with different demand levels to check if control is stable.

Except as noted below, do not use an output contactor for the purposes of starting
and stopping a motor - this will damage the drive and void the warranty.
I. Contactors
A contactor may be used to open the input power to the drive to provide drive isolation for service and repair. An output contactor may only be
used to isolate the drive when interlocked utilizing the drive program for multi-motor control or bypass (exchange) operation.
Please refer to installation precautions in the P-Series Installation Manual.
II. Mounting & Installation
Incorrect terminal wiring could result in equipment damage. Temperature in the cabinet or where the drive is installed should be between 14 °F
and 104 °F non-condensing. Temperatures outside this range will damage drive. Temperatures up to 122 °F are possible with 20% derating.
To reliably operate the inverter, install the inverter in the proper orientation and with recommended clearances.
III. Motor Disconnect
The drive must be stopped before operating a motor disconnect.
If possible wire an auxiliary contact to the drive terminals BX to interlock the drive and prevent inadvertent damage.
RECOMMENDED
RECOMMENDED.
(REQUIRED IF POWER
SOURCE <50FT. FROM VFD)
NOT REQUIREDREQUIRED
AUX.
SURGE SUPPRESSOR
RECOMMENDED
An input line reactor and lightning surge arrestor must be used to
provide protection when the drive is directly connected to a utility
input source. They are recommended in all other cases.
IV. AC Power Source
Input power must be +10/-15% of drive rated voltage for proper operation.The drive
cannot produce output voltage higher than the input power voltage. The input to the
drive must have surge voltage and high voltage protection.
Please refer to Appendix A and B of the drive manual
for recommended fuse ratings, contactor, and breaker
ratings. When used with UL listed breakers the P Series
drives have a UL listed input interrupting capacity rating of
65,000 Amps.
V. Short Circuit Protection
& Disconnect
An input reactor must be used when the drive is
directly connected to utility power or when the
input power source is more than 10 times the KVA
rating of the inverter.
VI. Input Line Reactors
Please call Franklin for proper sizing and application of a line reactor
on the drive input. When properly sized and applied, an input line
reactor will reduce input power harmonics, improve power factor, and
increase drive protection.
Do not connect power factor capacitors, surge
arrestors or noise lters to the output of the inverter.
This will void the warranty
VII Wiring Output to Motor
Please follow all wiring precautions as noted in the drive manual.
Wiring length from the drive to the motor should be short enough to
prevent insulation breakdown in the motor due to high voltage. Please
call Franklin if the motor leads are longer than 100 feet for application
recommendations. Long motor leads will require an output line reactor
or output lter.

The maximum ambient temperature for a stand alone drive is 40 °C (104 °F) or 50 °C (122 °F) for 20% up sized drive. Here are some
recommendations to help keep your drive “cool”:
1. Derating for Temperature: If stand alone VFD is installed on the wall with the maximum ambient temperature exceeding 40 C or 104 F or VFD is
mounted in ventilated enclosure with ambient temperature exceeding 33.3 C or 92 F (non-direct sun), the VFD should be up sized 20% .
2. Reduce the heat load on the Drive: Mount the drive away from direct sunlight or any other source of heat.
3. Exhaust and Intake Clearance: Make sure the drive is mounted in a place where the intake and exhaust air is free from obstructions and the
intake air is not near another heat source such as transformers or heating elements. Never install one drive such that the exhaust from one blows
into the intake of another.
4. Mount the drive in a Separate Enclosure: A simple step that can save a lot of headaches is to mount the drive separately from other heat
generating electrical equipment. Just a few extra devices in an enclosure can add signicant heat that can push the internal ambient temperature
of the cabinet beyond what is acceptable for the drive.
Terminal “N” is not a neutral, it is negative of the DC bus.
Do not wire anything but Dynamic Braking Unit to “N” terminal.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE:
The proper grounding is very important for VFD operation. If metal construction or conduits are used as a ground leak current path, the VFD can
have inadequate grounding and ground fault protection. Most problems with grounding are in remote locations (like an irrigation pump) or isolated
installations such as cranes or roof tops for HVAC. There are three critical things to remember about grounding your drive:
1. Size of the ground cable: The ground bonding cable must be the proper size to meet the impedance requirements as specied in our manual.
A good practice is to use the size of your power input.
2. Dedicated, direct cable: The grounding cable should be dedicated and as short as possible from the bonding point. Longer cable runs will
require larger cable to meet the impedance requirements. This is where following the recommendations above will serve you well. Under no
circumstances should you use a mechanical connection such as conduit or electrical cabinets for your ground source.
3. Bonding to the source input: Ideally the grounding and source input are electrically connected such as when there is an isolation transformer
with a neutral to ground bonding point. Refer to the drive manual on pages 3-8 for minimum grounding conductor sizes and specications.
BONDING:
The following bonding methods are not acceptable: Mechanical ground through conduit or through metal chassis, isolated or oating
ground systems, grounding through neutral wires, corner grounded delta (call Franklin for recommendations).
INSTALLER: PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Clean Power: The drive will need to be protected from input power problems and load related power issues (mainly due to long cable runs).
There are unique issues regarding both input power and output power protection (see notes regarding input reactors, load reactors, and surge
suppressors below.)
Correct Sizing: How your drive performs is dependent upon sizing the drive properly for the application. Your load is either constant torque or
variable torque. Most Franklin drives are dual rated - the variable torque rating is always higher capacity than the constant torque rating. Here are
some examples of variable and constant torque applications:
CLEAN POWER, CORRECT SIZING, & CLEAN AIR:
When sizing a drive you also must consider the inertia of the load. High inertia loads are hard to accelerate and decelerate. This resistance to speed
change can cause the drive to trip out on DC overvoltage, as the inertia from the load reverses into the drive and causes the DC bus voltage to rise.
When this happens the drive will trip on an overvoltage fault. Resetting the fault and putting the drive back in operation in this situation will void
your warranty if done repetitively. In all such cases a DC braking unit should be used. DC braking units are standard on many of our small drives
and are optional on all of our larger drives.
Clean Air: A drive that becomes coated with dust or debris cannot cool itself properly and will lead to premature failure of the drive. Make sure the
drive has clean, dry air for cooling. If it is installed in an enclosure make sure to replace the air lters once a month to make sure the drive runs at
peak performance.
Correct Settings: To protect your drive and to ensure proper operation, follow our quick start guide which includes settings for most applications.

ATTENTION INSTALLER: PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTALLATION GUIDELINES MAY VOID WARRANTY
A drive is a sensitive piece of power electronics that when installed properly will provide you with years of trouble-free operation.
While our drives have many built-in protective features, if the installation or application is incorrect, failures due to improper
protection or installation will not be covered under warranty. To avoid this ugly situation we have developed the Drive Installation
A, B, C’s. Know these basic A,B,C’s with every drive you purchase. An incorrectly applied or installed inverter can result in system
malfunction or reduction in product life as well as component damage. You must read and understand the manual thoroughly
before proceeding.
Installation Precautions
1) Handle the inverter with care to prevent damage to
the plastic components. Do not hold the inverter by
the front cover.
2) Do not mount the inverter in a location where
excessive vibration (more than 5.9 m/sec2) is present
such as installing the inverter on a press or other
moving equipment.
3) Install in a location where temperature is within the
permissible range (-10~40° C).
4) The inverter will be hot during operation. Install it on
a non-combustible surface.
5) Mount the inverter on a flat, vertical and level surface.
Inverter orientation must be vertical (top up) for
proper heat dissipation. Also leave sufficient clearances
around the inverter. However, A= Over 12 inches and
B=8 inches should be obtained for inverters rated 30kW
and above.

6) Do not mount the inverter in direct sunlight ornear other
heat sources.
7) The inverter shall be mounted in a Pollution Degree
2 environment. If the inverter is going to be installed
in an environment with a high probability of dust,
metallic particles, mists, corrosive gases, or other
contaminates, the inverter must be located inside the
appropriate electrical enclosure of the proper NEMA
or IP rating.
8) When two or more inverters are installed or a ventilation
fan is mounted in the inverter panel, the inverters and
ventilation fan must be installed in proper positions
with extreme care taken to keep the ambient
temperature of the inverters below the permissible value.
If they are installed in improper positions, the ambient
temperature of the inverters will rise.
9) Install the inverter using screws or bolts to insure the
inverter is firmly fastened.
