1.2. BeforeSupplyingPowertotheInverter/ Avant d’alimenter le variateur
The main circuit must be correctly wired. For single phase supply use input terminals (R/L1, T/L3) and for three
phase supply use input terminals (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3). Terminals U/T1, V/T2, W/T3 must only be used to connect
the motor. Connecting the input supply to any of the U/T1, V/T2 or W/T3 terminals will cause damage to the
inverter.

personnel, and should be avoided.
• To avoid the risk of re, do not install the inverter on or near ammable objects. Install on nonammable
objects such as metal surfaces.
• If several inverters are placed inside the same control panel, provide adequate ventilation to maintain the
temperature below 40°C/104°F (50°C/122°F) without a dust cover) to avoid overheating or re.
• When removing or installing the digital operator, turn off the power rst, and then follow the instructions in
this manual to avoid operator error or loss of display caused by faulty connections.

1.3. Wiring /Câblage
• Always turn OFF the power supply before attempting inverter installation and wiring of the user terminals.
• Wiring must be performed by a qualied personnel / certied electrician.
• Make sure the inverter is properly grounded. (230V Class: Grounding impedance shall be less than 100Ω.
400V Class: Grounding impedance shall be less than 10Ω.)
• Make sure the inverter is properly grounded. It is required to disconnect the ground wire in the control
board to avoid the sudden surge causing damage on electronic parts if it is improperly grounded.
• RCD is required to be in compliance with the protection norm of B-type leakage current.
• Please check and test emergency stop circuits after wiring. (Installer is responsible for the correct wiring.)
• Never touch any of the input or output power lines directly or allow any input of output power lines to come
in contact with the inverter case.
• Do not perform a dielectric voltage withstand test (megger) on the inverter this will result in inverter dam-
age to the semiconductor components.

• The line voltage applied must comply with the inverter’s specied input voltage. (See product nameplate
section 2.1)
• Connect braking resistor and braking unit to the designated terminals. (See section 3.10)
• Do not connect a braking resistor directly to the DC terminals P (+) and N (-), otherwise re may result.
• Use wire gauge recommendations and torque specications. (See Wire Gauge and Torque Specication in
section 3.6)
• Never connect input power to the inverter output terminals U/T1, V/T2, W/T3.
• Do not connect a contactor or switch in series with the inverter and the motor.
• Do not connect a power factor correction capacitor or surge suppressor to the inverter output.

1.4. Before Operation/Avantl’opération
• Make sure the inverter model matches the parameters 13-00.
• Reduce the carrier frequency (parameter 11-01) If the cable from the inverter to the motor is greater than 80
ft (25m). A high-frequency current can be generated by stray capacitance between the cables and result in
an overcurrent trip of the inverter, an increase in leakage current, or an inaccurate current readout.
• Be sure to install all covers before turning on power. Do not remove any of the covers while power to the
inverter is on, otherwise electric shock may occur.
• Do not operate switches with wet hands, otherwise electric shock may result.
• Do not touch inverter terminals when energized even if inverter has stopped, otherwise electric shock may
result.

1.5. Parameters Setting /CongurationParamètre
• Do not connect a load to the motor while performing a rotational auto-tune.
• Make sure the motor can freely run and there is sufcient space around the motor when performing a rota-
tional auto-tune.
Attention !
•  Nebranchezpasunechargepourlemoteurtouteneffectuantunauto-tune.

1.6. Operation/Opération
• Be sure to install all covers before turning on power. Do not remove any of the covers while power to the
inverter is on, otherwise electric shock may occur.
• Do not connect or disconnect the motor during operation. This will cause the inverter to trip and may cause
damage to the inverter.
• Operations may start suddenly if an alarm or fault is reset with a run command active. Conrm that no run
command is active upon resetting the alarm or fault, otherwise accidents may occur.
• Do not operate switches with wet hands, otherwise electric shock may result.
• It provides an independent external hardware emergency switch, which emergently shuts down the inverter
output in the case of danger.
• If automatic restart after power recovery (parameter 07-00) is enabled, the inverter will start automatically
after power is restored.
• Make sure it is safe to operate the inverter and motor before performing a rotational auto-tune.
• Do not touch inverter terminals when energized even if inverter has stopped, otherwise electric shock may
result.
• Do not check signals on circuit boards while the inverter is running.
• After the power is turned off, the cooling fan may continue to run for some time.

2. Model Description
2.1. Nameplate Data
It is essential to verify the VDI100 inverter nameplate and make sure that the VDI100 inverter has the correct
rating so it can be used in your application with the proper sized AC motor.
Unpack the VDI100 inverter and check the following:
(1) The VDI100 inverter and start-up and installation manual are contained in the package.
(2) The VDI100 inverter has not been damaged during transportation there should be no dents or parts miss-
ing.
(3) The VDI100 inverter is the type you ordered. You can check the type and specications on the main name-
plate.
(4) Check that the input voltage range meets the input power requirements.
(5) Ensure that the motor kW (HP) matches the motor rating of the inverter.

3.5. Removing the Front Cover and Keypad
• Before making any wiring connections to the inverter the front cover needs to be removed.
• It is not required to remove the digital operator before making any wiring connections.
• Models 230V Class 2.2 ~ 18.5 kW and 400V Class 0.75 ~ 22 kW have a plastic cover. Loosen the screws
and remove the cover to gain access to the terminals and make wiring connections. Place the plastic cover
back and fasten screws when wiring connections have been made.
• Models 230V Class 22 kW and 400V Class 30 ~ 160 kW have a metal cover. Loosen the screws and
remove the cover to gain access to the terminals and make wiring connections. Place the metal cover back
and fasten screws when wiring connections have been made.
• Avant de procéder aux branchements des câblages sur l’inverseur, il est nécessaire de retirer le cache de
façade.
• En revanche, il n’est pas nécessaire de retirer l’opérateur numérique avant les branchements des câblages.
• Les modèles 230V Classe 2.2 ~ 18,5 kW et 400V Classe 0,75 ~ 22 kW sont pourvus d’un cache en plas-
tique. Desserrer les vis et retirer le cache pour pouvoir accéder aux terminaux et réaliser les branchements
des câblages. Ensuite, reposer le cache en plastique et serrer ses vis de xation.
• Les modèles 230V Classe 22 kW et 400V Classe 30 ~ 160 kW sont pourvus d’un cache en métal. Desser-
rer les vis et retirer le cache pour pouvoir accéder aux terminaux et réaliser les branchements des câblag-
