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
• 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.
1.1.3. Software Version and Approvals
Software Version
Programming Guide
AF-60 LPറMicro Drive
This Programming Guide can be used for all AF-60 LPറMicro Drive frequency drives with software version
2.1x.
The software version number can be read in
parameter 15-43.
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 LPറMicro Drive from mains (and external DC supply, if present.)
2. Wait for 4 minutes for discharge of the DC-link.
3. Disconnect DC bus terminals and brake terminals (if present)
4. Remove motor cable

3. Programming
3.1. How to Programme
3.1.1. 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
3.1.2. 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 3.1: 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.
