Access to all parameter groups is controlled by setting P-14 as follows
P-14 = P-37 (Factory setting: 101) Allows Extended Parameter Access
P-14 = P-37 + 100 (Factory Setting: 201) Allows Advanced Parameter Access
In order to prevent possible damage to the drive and connected machinery, certain parameters are locked during operation of the drive to
prevent change. In the case that the drive is enabled, and the user tries to change the parameter, an “L” is shown on the left of the display.

Motor Energy Optimisation: Reduces energy losses in the motor under part load conditions by reducing motor flux. This function
should not be used in applications which have large sudden load step changes, or for PI control applications, as it may cause
instability in the control or over current trip.
Optidrive Energy Optimiser: Reduces the energy losses in the drive at higher output frequencies by reducing switching losses. This
may lead to vibration or instability in the motor under light load conditions.

Low Frequency Torque Boost Current
0.0
Drive
Dependent
3.0
%
Low Frequency Torque Boost is used to increase the applied motor voltage and hence current at low output frequencies. This can
improve low speed and starting torque. Increasing the boost level will increase motor current at low speed, which may result in the
motor temperature rising - force ventilation of the motor may then be required. In general, the lower the motor power, the higher
the boost setting that may be safely used.
For IM motors, when P-51 = 0 1 or 1, a suitable setting can usually be found by operating the motor under very low or no load
conditions at approximately 5Hz, and adjusting P-11 until the motor current is approximately the magnetising current (if known) or
in the range shown below.
Frame Size 1 : 60 –80% of motor rated current
Frame Size 2 : 50 –60% of motor rated current
Frame Size 3 : 40 –50% of motor rated current
Frame Size 4 : 35 –45% of motor rated current
This parameter is also effective when using alternative motor types, P-51 = 2, 3 or 4. In this case, the boost current level is defined as

The Skip Frequency function is used to avoid the Optidrive operating at a certain output frequency, for example at a frequency
which causes mechanical resonance in a particular machine. Parameter P-27 defines the centre point of the skip frequency band,
and is used in conjunction with P-26. The Optidrive output frequency will ramp through the defined band at the rates set in P-03 and
P-04 respectively, and will not hold any output frequency within the defined band. If the frequency reference applied to the drive is
within the band, the Optidrive output frequency will remain at the upper or lower limit of the band.

DC Injection on Stop
DC is injected into the motor at the current level set in P-59 following a stop command,
after the output frequency has reached 0.0Hz for the time set in Index 1. This can be
useful to ensure the motor has reached a complete stop before the drive disables.

DC Injection on Start
DC is injected into the motor at the current level set in P-59 for the time set in Index 1
immediately after the drive is enabled, prior to the output frequency ramping up. The
output stage remains active during this phase. This can be used to ensure the motor is at
standstill prior to starting.

2.4 Alternative Parameter Functions for Single Phase Output Drives
Single phase output drives feature a number of changes in order to provide optimal operation with single phase motors. These changes are
based around two key principles:-
The Starting method for single phase motors requires the motor to be started at full speed in order to provide optimal starting torque. The
starting boost parameters allow adjustment of this function to provide optimal motor starting.
It is not possible to have reverse operation with a single phase motors, thereby all reverse functions are disabled in the drive firmware.

2. Optidrive E3 Parameter Set Overview
2.6.2 Overview
Optidrive E3 uses a Macro approach to simplify the configuration of the Analog and Digital Inputs. There are two key parameters which
determine the input functions and drive behaviour:-
P-12 –Selects the main drive control source and determines how the output frequency of the drive is primarily controlled.
P-15 –Assigns the Macro function to the analog and digital inputs.
Additional parameters can then be used to further adapt the settings, e.g.
P-16 –Used to select the format of the analog signal to be connected to analog input 1, e.g. 0 –10 Volt, 4 –20mA
P-30 –Determines whether the drive should automatically start following a power on if the Enable Input is present
P-31 –When Keypad Mode is selected, determines at what output frequency / speed the drive should start following the enable
command, and also whether the keypad start key must be pressed or if the Enable input alone should start the drive.
P-47 –Used to select the format of the analog signal to be connected to analog input 2, e.g. 0 –10 Volt, 4 –20mA
The diagrams below provide an overview of the functions of each terminal macro function, and a simplified connection diagram for each.

2. Optidrive E3 Parameter Set Overview
2.7 Software Functions
2.7.1 Fire Mode
The Fire Mode function is designed to ensure continuous operation of the drive in emergency conditions until the drive is no longer capable of
sustaining operation. The Fire Mode input may be a normally open (Close to Activate Fire Mode) or Normally Closed (Open to Activate Fire
Mode) according to the setting of P-30 Index 2. In addition, the input may be momentary or maintained type, selected by P-30 Index 3.
This input may be linked to a fire control system to allow maintained operation in emergency conditions, e.g. to clear smoke or maintain air
quality within that building.
The fire mode function is enabled when P-15 = 15, 16 or 17, with Digital Input 3 assigned to activate fire mode.
Fire Mode disables the following protection features in the drive:-
O-t Heat-sink Over-Temperature
U-t Drive Under Temperature
Th-FLt Faulty Thermistor on Heat-sink
E-trip External Trip
4-20 F 4-20mA fault
Ph-Ib Phase Imbalance
P-Loss Input Phase Loss Trip
SC-trp Communications Loss Trip
It-trp Accumulated overload Trip
Out-F Drive output fault, Output stage trip
The following faults will result in a drive trip, auto reset and restart:-
O-Volt Over Voltage on DC Bus
U-Volt Under Voltage on DC Bus
h O-I Fast Over-current Trip
O-I Instantaneous over current on drive output
2.7.2 OEM / User Default Parameters
Optidrive E3 includes an embedded function to allow the user to create their own “default” parameters. This means that if a factory reset is
carried out, the drive will return to these parameters, as opposed to the Invertek Drive factory default parameters.
This feature is accessed using Optitools Studio PC software only, which may be freely downloaded from the Invertek Drives website.
2.7.2.1 Creating the default parameter set
In order to create the User Default settings, the following process should be used.
In Optitools Studio, ensure
communication is established
with the connected drive.
