1.2. Product overview
VASCO - VAriable Speed COntrolleris a device for the control and protection of pumping systems based on the
variation of the pump power supply frequency. It can be applied to both new and old systems ensuring:
• energy and economic savings
• simplified installation and lower system costs
• extended life of the system
• improved reliability
VASCO - VAriable Speed COntroller, when connected to any pump on the market, it manages its operation in order
to keep a certain physical quantity constant (pressure, differential pressure, flow rate, temperature, etc.) as the
conditions of use change. In this manner, the pump, or the pump system, is operated only when, and to the extent
that, it is needed, thus avoiding unnecessary energy waste and extending its life. At the same time the device can:
• protect the motor from overloads and dry runs
• implement soft starts and soft stops to increase system life and reduce absorption peaks
• provide an indication of the current consumption and the supply voltage
• record the operating hours and, based on these, the errors and faults reported by the system
• control two other D.O.L. (Direct On Line) pumps at constant speed
• connect to other devices to obtain combined operation
Appropriate output filters, available upon request, allow reducing the dangerous overvoltages that are generated in
very long cables and, therefore, make the device ideal also for controlling submerged pumps.

6. Mechanical installation
WARNING
Read the safety chapter carefully before continuing.
6.1. Installation environment
WARNING
The environmental specifications stated in the technical data of the product must be strictly complied
with.
WARNING
Do not install the device in environments at a risk of explosion, flooding, or in the presence of
flammable fluids or solids. Ensure sufficient ventilation in the room.
Refer to local regulations when selecting the appropriate installation location.
WARNING
The degree of protection of the device is only ensured if, at the end of the installation, the cover
screws and the cable glands have been properly tightened. Close the holes of unused cable glands
with the appropriate plugs.
Protect the device from direct exposure to weather and sunlight.
Do not leave the device installed without cover or with the cable glands open, even if not connected
to the power supply. The infiltration of dust, water or humidity may irreparably damage the device.
WARNING
To ensure uninterrupted operation, the device can gradually and automatically reduce performance
before shutting down following over-temperature. However, prolonged operation above the rated
temperature leads to a reduction in the life of the device.
6.2. Cooling
The device is cooled primarily by forced air circulation through the heat sink element.
In addition to the heat sink, the device also uses the remaining surfaces to cool itself. It is therefore necessary to
ensure sufficient space around the device during installation.
In particular, the distance between the suction and discharge side of the heat sink and the other surfaces must be
at least:
• 150 mm for current intensity up to 18 A
• 200 mm for current intensity up to 30 A
• 250 mm for current intensity up to 118 A
• 300 mm for current intensity up to 268 A
On the other sides, maintain a minimum distance of 100 mm to ensure cooling and to make installation and
maintenance operations easier.
During operation, the surfaces of the device can become hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch them.
In the case of installation inside electric cabinet, it is necessary to guarantee the appropriate air flow for the heat
dissipation of all the components. The heat released by the device may be calculated from its conversion efficiency.

Do not place any heat-generating elements (outlet filters) on the suction side of the device to prevent
dangerous overheating.
6.3. Installation on the motor fan cover
The device is installed on the motor fan cover and fastened using the four hooks supplied in the relative motor kit.
WARNING
When the device is installed on the motor fan cover, cooling is ensured by the motor fan. It is
therefore necessary to remove the fans used for wall installation.
WARNING
Installation on the motor fan cover is only possible with motors equipped with a metal fan cover
screwed to the motor rather than interlocked to it.

WARNING
Read the safety chapter carefully before continuing.
7.1. Grounding
DANGER
Make sure that the device and the loads connected to it are properly grounded with the appropriate
connection terminals before commissioning.
Ensure that the grounding system is compliant and refer to local regulations for grounding devices.
Each load must be fitted with its own earthing cable, the length of which must be as short as
possible. Do not make interconnected grounding connections.
Leakage currents may exceed 3.5 mA. It is recommended to use the reinforced ground connection if
necessary.
Use the following minimum cross-sections for ground cables:
• cross-section equal to the mains power cable cross-section up 16 mm2. (6 AWG)
• 16 mm2 (6 AWG) for mains power cable cross-section between 16 mm2 (6 AWG) and 35 mm2 (1 AWG).
• cross-section equal to half the cross-section of the power supply cable when the latter is greater than 35 mm2 (1
AWG).
7.2. Protection devices
DANGER
It is recommended to install the appropriate protection devices upstream of the device, such as a
circuit breakers, fuses and a residual current device (RCD).
Fuses and switches.
The control device can protect the motor from overloads by digitally controlling the absorbed current against the set
rated current.
It is therefore not necessary to install any overload protection device between the inverter and the motor.
