Notes:
The illustration above is based on 1.5kW and
2.2kW models. The terminal layout for 0.37kW
and 0.75kW models is slightly different.
The smaller green earth terminals are not part
of the main termal block.
The order of the three phases determines the
direction the motor turns.
Important:
Do NOT connect Neutral to the terminal
marked N.
Use screened SY cable between the Inverter
and Motor to minimise electromagnetic
interference.
Ensure the motor cable screen is earthed at
the motor end.
Before commencing, confirm that the iC5 and all
cables are completely isolated from the power
supply, have been isolated for at least 5 minutes
and that the motor is not turning.

2.2 Motor connected in DELTA:
The link configuration is shown in the
illustration opposite and is sometimes referred
to a “three-a-breast”.
The order of the three phases determines the
direction the motor turns.
Note that the cable screen and earth are
connected together at the earth terminal.
The LS SV-iC5 converts Single Phase 230V
to Three Phase 230V so a 230/400V Motor
should be connected in Delta.

2.1 Motor connected in STAR (or Wye):
For safety purposes, Star (shown opposite) is
the default configuration for new motors and is
sometimes known as “two at one side”.
Only two links are required for Star. Double-up
the links if changing from Delta to allow the
motor to be changed to back in future.

Dual voltage induction motors typically include
terminal boxes with six points. The points can
be connected together with links in one of two
ways to suit one of the two rated voltages.
The two ways of connecting the links are
shown below. These are known as “Star” (the
higher voltage) or “Delta” (the lower voltage).

The selection of Star or Delta is not optional
and must match the supply voltage.
Dual voltage motor nameplates include
symbols to represent voltage and full load
current in each configuration.
Delta is represented by a triangle and star by a

The iC5 contains a number of settings which
can be changed to tailor it for use in a wide
range of applications. These settings are
known as parameters.
Parameters are typically referred to by code or
number (eg. H21 = Max Output Frequency)
with a description available in the manual.
The parameters contain critical information
essential to the correct operation of the iC5.
Therefore, they should at least be checked by
the user before it is operated for the first time.
The parameters listed in section 4 are intended
to provide a starting point to allow for basic
operation of the iC5 Inverter.

5.1.1 Use the dial to set the frequency to 50Hz and start
the motor.
Turn the dial clockwise until the display shows 50.0 as
illustrated opposite. Then press the green “Run” button to
start the motor. As the motor accelerates the display will
track frequency from 0.0 to 50.0.
Once the Inverter has reached 50.0Hz proceed to the step
below.
Motor no-load current can only be determined with the
motor running off-load. Decouple the motor from the
machine before beginning!
5.1.2 Use the navigation pad to locate the “CUr”
parameter.
Make a note of this value. It is “Motor no-load current”
in Amps and must be set in parameter H34.
Press the down arrow on the navigation pad until “CUr” is
displayed (as shown opposite). “CUr” is a read-only
parameter which displays output current inAmps.
Press the navigation pad to select “Cur”. The output current
will be displayed.
Motor no load current is an important
parameter to set to get the best possible motor
performance.
Correctly set, it allows the Inverter to maintain
the precise output current to suit the motor and
significantly improves torque at lower speeds.
The procedure involves running the motor off-
load at it’s rated speed and making a note of
output current. This value is then set in
parameter H34.
Once set, this can be confirmed by running the
motor off-load at 50Hz and 5Hz and noting that
the output current is the same in both cases.

The standard operating mode of the iC5
Inverter is VxF. This is the simplest form of
operation and controls Volts and Frequency to
vary the speed of a standard Induction Motor.
The iC5 can also operate in Sensorless Vector
mode. This can improve motor performance
without requiring a separate feedback device.
Sensorless Vector mode operates in the same
way as VxF but performs a number of
calculations to improve low speed torque.
This requires an “ID” run during which the
Inverter runs the motor for approx. 1 minute at
various speeds to gather the necessary data.
Decouple the motor from the machine
before starting an ID run.

9.1 Parameters to change in the Drive Group
Press left/right to find 0.0 then up/down to find parameter number
If the integrated speed control dial is
unsuitable for the application, a remote
Potentiometer can be used instead.
This provides the benefit of allowing motor
speed to be controlled from a more convenient
location such as a cabinet door (if the iC5 is
cabinet-mounted) or on the machine itself.
A Potentiometer of rating should be
used.
The number of turns depends on the
application but both single turn and ten turn
Potentiometers are available from The Inverter
Drive Supermarket at InverterDrive.com.
10kOhm
9.2 Connecting the Potentiometer
A wiring diagram is shown in the illustration
opposite. The most important connection at
the Potentiometer end is the centre terminal or
“wiper”.
The wiper will output a variable voltage
between 0 and 10 volts and should be
connected to the V1 terminal at the Inverter
end. It is this voltage which provides the speed
signal with 0V being slowest and 10V fastest.
The default output frequency at 0V is 0.5Hz. To
change this, edit Parameter F25.
The default output frequency at 10V is 50Hz.
To change this, edit Parameter F26.
If the rotation of the Potentiometer is the
opposite to that required (ie. turn anti-
clockwise to increase speed instead of
clockwise) reverse connections VR and CM.
Use shielded SY cable between Potentiometer
and Inverter and ensure that the cable screen
is earthed at the green earth terminal on the
Inverter.

10.2 Connecting the Switch
Digital Input
A wiring diagram is shown in the illustration
opposite.
The CM terminal output is 24V DC when the
Inverter is connected to a power supply. This is
provided as a 24V output only and has no other
function.
When the P1 terminal receives 24V (ie. when
the circuit with CM is complete), Run is
enabled and motor will turn. Conversely, when
it receives 0V (ie. when the circuit with CM is
broken), Run is disabled and the motor will
stop.
This behaviour is known as a .
Any 24V DC signal connected to P1 will cause
the Inverter to run. This can be useful if an
external source such as a PLC is controlling
the Inverter. If the 24V DC signal is external, a
connection to CM is not required.
Use shielded SY cable between the switch and
Inverter and ensure that the cable screen is
earthed at the green earth terminal on the
Inverter.
Note that although 2 core SY cable is shown in
the illustration opposite, multi-core SY cable
can be used if several digital inputs are to be
used.

This section extends the functionality added in
section 10 to include Run Forward/ Reverse as
well as Stop.
Important: P1 and P2 refer to the P1 / P2 I/O
terminals NOT P1 / P2 power terminals.
11.2 Connecting the Switch
Digital Inputs
A wiring diagram is shown in the illustration
opposite. The switch used is a DPDT centre off
type.
The CM terminal provides a 24V DC output as
described in section 10.
When the switch is moved to the “F” (Forward)
position, the circuit between P1 and CM is
completed and the motor will turn forwards as
described in section 10.
In addition, when the switch is moved to the “R”
(Reverse) position, the circuit between P2 and
CM is completed and the motor will turn in
reverse.
Returning the switch to position “0" (off) will
stop the motor.
This behaviour uses two .
If both P1 and P2 receive 24V signals, the
motor will stop.
Any 24V DC signal from an external source
such as a PLC connected to P1 or P2 will
cause the Inverter to run forwards or
backwards.
Use shielded SY cable between the switch and
Inverter and ensure that the cable screen is
earthed as described in section 10.
