2-4 Precautions for Wiring to the Control Signal
1) Separate the main circuit wiring (to terminals L1, L2, L3, L+1, L+2, L–, B, U, V, W) from the other
drive wires and power wires.
2) Use a 0.25 to 0.75mm² wire for wiring to the control circuit. The tightening torque must be 0.6Nm.
3) Use a twisted pair wire or twisted pair shield wire for wiring the analog signals (as the setters and meter).
(Fig. 2-6.) Connect the shield wire to the TB2 COM terminal of the VAT2000.
The wire length must be 30m or less.
4) The analog output is dedicated for metering only, such as the speed-meter and ammeter.
It cannot be used for control signals such as the feedback control.
5) The length of the sequence input/output contact wire must be 50m or less.
6) The sequence input (digital I/Os), can be selected either sink logic or source logic method by the
short pin (W1). Refer to Table 5-2.
7) Observe the precautions listed in "Table 5-2 Control input/output circuit".
8) An example of the control circuit wiring is given in Fig. 2-6.
9) The layout of the control circuit terminal block is shown in Fig. 2-7; functions are in Table 5-1.
Terminals with the same terminal symbol are internally connected.
10) After wiring, always check the wiring. Do not test control wirings using a megger or buzzer

3. Test Operation and Adjustment
3-1
Chapter 3 Test Operation and Adjustment
DANGER
• Always install the front cover before turning the input power ON. Never remove the cover while the
power is ON. There are sections in the front PCB that are charged with high voltages.
Failure to observe this could lead to electrical shocks.
• Never touch the switches with wet hands.
Failure to observe this could lead to electrical shocks.
• Never touch the inverter’s terminals while the inverter power is ON even if the operation is stopped.
Failure to observe this could lead to electrical shocks.
• Selection of the retry function could lead to unexpected restarting when a fault occurs. The machine
may start suddenly if the power is turned ON when the automatic start function is selected. Do not go
near the machine.
(Design the machine so that physical safety can be ensured even if the machine restarts.)
Failure to do so could lead to injuries.
• The machine may not stop when a stop command is issued if the deceleration stop function is selected
and the overvoltage / overcurrent limit function is activated. Prepare a separate emergency stop
switch.
Failure to do so could lead to injuries.
• Resetting of a fault while the run signal is input could lead to unexpected restarting. Always confirm that
the run signal is OFF before resetting the alarm.
Failure to do so could lead to injuries.
CAUTION
• The heat sink and resistor are heated to high temperatures, so never touch them.
Failure to observe this could lead to burns.
• Do not block the inverter’s ventilation holes.
Failure to observe this could lead to fires.
• The inverter operation can easily be set from low speeds to high speeds, so confirm that the
operation is within the tolerable range for the motor or machine before making settings.
Failure to do so could lead to injuries.
• Prepare holding brakes when necessary. Holding is not possible with the inverter’s brake functions.
Failure to do so could lead to injuries.
• Confirm the operation of the motor as a single unit before operating the machine.
Failure to do so could lead to injuries or machine damage due to unforeseen movements.
Always prepare a safety backup device so that the machine is not placed in a hazardous situation
when an error occurs in the inverter.
Failure to do so could lead to injuries or machine damage or fires.

3. Test Operation and Adjustment
3-2
The VAT2000 has several modes of control. Some of these include settings that must be made according
to the power supply and motor constants before actually starting operation.
The method to set VAT2000 basic operation is explained in this section.
3-1 Control selection
The VAT2000 has five modes of control, which can be selected with the parameter (C30-0).
Refer to Appendix 1 Control Specifications Table for details.
(1) V/f control (constant torque) (C30-0 = 1) : (Note 1)
V/f control (voltage – frequency control in constant ratio)
(2) V/f control (variable torque) (C30-0 = 2) : (Note 1)
V/f control (voltage-frequency control in quadratic ratio respect to a variable torque load, such as a
fan or pump)
(3) Speed sensor-less vector control for standard Induction Motors (C30-0 = 3)
Speed or torque vector control of the IM is achieved without sensor
(4) Speed sensor vector control for standard Induction Motors (C30-0 = 4) : (Note 2)
Speed or torque vector control of the IM is achieved without sensor.
This is used when a high speed accuracy or fast torque response is required.
(5) Permanent Magnet drive control (C30-5 = 5) : (Note 3)
Speed vector control for permanent magnet motors (brush-less type motors).
The PM motors allow high-efficiency operation in respect to the standard Induction Motors
(Note 1) The operation panel only displays the parameters required for each type control. For example,
when the V/f control is enabled (C30-0 = 1 or 2) the drive will not display the dedicated
parameters for vector control
(Note 2) An optional PCB (U2KV23DN1 or DN2) for IM speed detection is necessary. (Table 7-1.)
(Note 3) An optional PCB (U2KV23DN3) for PM speed detection is necessary. (Refer to Table 7-1.)
3-2 Selection of operation mode
The VAT2000 operates in both “Local” (from the operation panel) and “Remote” (from I/O terminals)
modes. These modes can be changed with the + keys while the motor is stopped. The
selected mode is confirmed by the LCL LED on the operation panel. Refer to Section 4-1 for details.
For Local Mode : LCL LED ON
Operation is carried out from the operation panel.
For Remote Mode : LCL LED OFF
Operation is carried out with the terminal block TB1 input terminals.
CAUTION
Make sure that there is no abnormal noise, smoke or odours at this time.
If any abnormality is found, turn the power OFF immediately.
