1 Safety
1.1.1 High Voltage Warning
The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous whenever it is connected to mains. Incorrect installation of the motor or frequency
converter may cause damage to the equipment, serious injury or death. Consequently, it is essential to comply with the instructions in this
manual as well as local and national rules and safety regulations.
1.1.2 Safety Instructions
Prior to using functions directly or indirectly influencing personal safety (e.g. Fire Mode or other functions either forcing the motor to stop or
attempting to keep it functioning) a thorough risk analysis and system test must be carried through. The system tests must include testing
failure modes regarding the control signalling (analog and digital signals and serial communication.
• Make sure the frequency converter is properly connected to earth.
• Do not remove mains connections, motor connections or other power connections while the frequency converter is connected to power.
• Protect users against supply voltage.
• Protect the motor against overloading according to national and local regulations.
• The earth leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA.
• The [OFF] key is not a safety switch. It does not disconnect the frequency converter from mains.

1.1.4 General Warning
Warning:
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been disconnected from mains.
Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected (such as external DC bus power supplies).
Be aware that there may be high voltage on the DC link even when the LEDs are turned off.
Before touching any potentially live parts of the frequency converter, wait at least 4 minutes for all sizes.
Shorter time is allowed only if indicated on the nameplate for the specific unit.
Leakage Current
The earth leakage current from the frequency converter exceeds 3.5 mA. According to IEC 61800-5-1 a reinforced Protective Earth connection
must be ensured by means of a min. 10mm² Cu or an addtional PE wire - with the same cable cross section as the Mains wiring - must be
terminated separately.
Residual Current Device
This product can cause a DC current in the protective conductor. Where a residual current device (RCD) is used for extra protection, only an
RCD of Type B (time delayed) shall be used on the supply side of this product.
Protective earthing of the frequency converter and the use of RCDs must always follow national and local regulations.
Motor overload protection is possible by setting Parameter 1-90 Motor thermal protection to the value Electronic overload trip. For the North
American market: Electronic overload functions provide class 20 motor overload protection, in accordance with NEC.
Installation in high altitudes:
For altitudes above 2 km, please contact GE .
1.1.5 IT Mains
IT Mains
Installation on isolated mains source, i.e. IT mains.
Max. supply voltage allowed when connected to mains: 440 V.
As an option, GE offers line filters for improved harmonics performance.
1.1.6 Avoid unintended Start
While the frequency converter is connected to mains, the motor can be started/stopped using digital commands, bus commands, references or via the drive
Keypad.
• Disconnect the frequency converter from mains whenever personal safety considerations make it necessary to avoid unintended start of any motors.
• To avoid unintended start, always activate the [OFF] key before changing parameters.

1.1.7 Disposal Instruction
Equipment containing electrical components must not be disposed of together with domestic waste.
It must be separately collected with electrical and electronic waste according to local and currently valid legislation.
1.1.8 Before Commencing Repair Work
1. Disconnect AF-60 LP™Micro Drive from mains (and external DC supply, if present.)
2. Wait for 4 minutes (M1, M2 and M3) and 15 minutes (M4 and M5) for discharge of the DC-link.
3. Disconnect DC bus terminals and brake terminals (if present)
4. Remove motor cable

3.1.2 Fuses
Branch circuit protection:
In order to protect the installation against electrical and fire hazard, all branch circuits in an installation, switch gear, machines etc., must be short-circuited and
overcurrent protected according to national/international regulations.
Short circuit protection:
GE Drive is suitable for a circuit capable of supplying a maximum of 100,000 Arms (symmetrical), 480 V maximum.
Overcurrent protection:
Provide overload protection to avoid overheating of the cables in the installation. Overcurrent protection must always be carried out according to national
regulations.
Non UL compliance:
If UL/cUL is not to be complied with, GE recommends using the fuses mentioned in the below table, which will ensure compliance with EN50178/IEC61800-5-1:
In case of malfunction, not following the fuse recommendation may result in damage to the frequency converter.

3.1.3 EMC-Correct Installation
Following these guidelines is advised, where compliance with EN 61000-6-3/4, EN 55011 or EN 61800-3 First environment is required. If the installation is in EN
61800-3 Second environment, then it is acceptable to deviate from these guidelines. It is however not recommended.
Good engineering practice to ensure EMC-correct electrical installation:
• Use only braided screened/armoured motor cables and control cables.
The screen should provide a minimum coverage of 80%.The screen material must be metal, not limited to but typically copper, aluminium, steel or lead.
There are no special requirements for the mains cable.
• Installations using rigid metal conduits are not required to use screened cable, but the motor cable must be installed in conduit separate from the control
and mains cables. Full connection of the conduit from the drive to the motor is required. The EMC performance of flexible conduits varies a lot and
information from the manufacturer must be obtained.
• Connect the screen/armour/conduit to earth at both ends for motor cables and control cables.
• Avoid terminating the screen/armour with twisted ends (pigtails). Such a termination increases the high frequency impedance of the screen, which
reduces its effectiveness at high frequencies. Use low impedance cable clamps or glands instead.
• Ensure good electrical contact between the de-coupling plate and the metal chassis of the frequency converter, see Instruction
• Avoid using unscreened/unarmoured motor or control cables inside cabinets housing the drive(s), where possible.
3.2 Mains Connection
3.2.1 Connecting to Mains
Step 1: First mount earth cable.
Step 2: Mount wires in terminals L1/L, L2 and L3/N and tighten.
Illustration 3.1: Mounting of earth cable and mains wires.
For 3-phase connection, connect wires to all three terminals.
For single-phase connection, connect wires to terminals L1/L and L3/N.
Illustration 3.2: Three-phase and single-phase wire connec-
tions.

3.3 Motor Connection
3.3.1 How to Connect the Motor
See the chapter Specifications for correct dimensioning of motor cable cross-section and length.
• Use a shielded/armored motor cable to comply with EMC emission specifications, and connect this cable to both the decoupling plate and the motor
metal.
• Keep motor cable as short as possible to reduce the noise level and leakage currents.
All types of three-phased asynchronous standard motors can be connected
to the frequency converter. Normally, small motors are star-connected
(230/400 V, Δ/Y). Large motors are delta-connected (400/690 V, Δ/Y). Refer to
motor nameplate for correct connection and voltage.
Illustration 3.3: Star and delta connections.
Step 1: First, mount the earth cable.
Step 2: Connect wires to terminals either in star or delta-connection. See mo-
tor nameplate for further information.
Illustration 3.4: Mounting of earth cable and motor wires.

4.1 How to Programme
4.1.1 Programming with DCT-10 Set-up Software
The frequency converter can be programmed from a PC via RS485 com-port by installing the DCT-10 Set-up Software.
This software can be downloaded from the GE Web site: www.geelectrical.com/drives
4.1.2 Programming with the Keypad
The Keypad is divided into four functional groups:
1. Numeric display.
2. Menu key.
3. Navigation keys.
4. Operation keys and indicator lights (LEDs).
NB!
Parameters should be changed in numerical order. Certain parameter values are affected by preceding changes.
Illustration 4.1: Keypad with potentiometer
The display:
A number of information can be read from the display.
Set-up number shows the active set-up and the edit set-up. If the same set-
up acts as both active and edit set-up, only that set-up number is shown
(factory setting).
When active and edit set-up differ, both numbers are shown in the display
(Setup 12). The number flashing, indicates the edit set-up.
