1. VASCO Introduction
VASCO is a variable frequency drive designed to control and protect pumping systems by varying the output frequency to the
pump.
VASCO can be applied to both new and existing pumping systems, and provides:
energy and cost savings
simplified installation and an overall lower pumping system cost
longer life of the pumping system and relevant components
improved reliability
VASCO, when connected to any pump, manages the system operation to maintain a certain constant physical quantity
(pressure, differential pressure, flow, temperature, etc.) regardless of the conditions of use. The pump is operated only when
needed thus avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.
VASCO at the same time is able to:
protect the motor from overload and dry running
implement soft start and soft stop to increase the system life and reduce current peaks
provide an indication of current consumption, voltage, and power
maintain a record of run time and display any errors and/or failures reported by the system
control up to two additional pumps at a constant speed (Direct On Line)
connect to other VASCO units for combined operation
Through the use of inductive filters (optional) VASCO eliminates dangerous surges that are induced in long cables, making
VASCO suitable for control of submersible pumps.
2. Safety Instructions
The manufacturer strongly suggests carefully reading this operation manual before using and installing its products
Any operation (installation, maintenance and repair) must be carried out by trained, skilled, and qualified personnel.
Failure to observe and follow the instructions in this manual may result in dangerous and potentially lethal electric shock.
Pay attention to all standard safety and accident prevention regulations
The device must be connected to main power supply via a switch to ensure the
complete disconnection from the network before any operation on the VASCO
itself (including visual inspection) and/or on the connected load.
Disconnect VASCO from the main power supply before commencing any work.
Do not remove, for any reason, the cover and the cable plate without having first
disconnected the device from the main power supply and having waited at least 5
minutes.
VASCO and pumping system must be grounded properly before operation.
For the entire period VASCO is powered, high voltage is present on the output
terminals of the inverter whether or not the pump is running.
Tightening all 4 screws on the cover with washers is recommended before
powering the device. Otherwise, there may be a failure to connect the cover to
ground, creating the risk of electric shock or even death.
Avoid any shock or significant impact during transport.
Check the VASCO immediately upon delivery and check for damage and/or missing parts. If either occurs, immediately notify
the supplier.
Damages due to transport, incorrect installation, or improper use of the device will null and void the warranty.
Tampering or disassembly of any component will automatically void the warranty.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damages to people and/or property due to improper use of its
products.

4.1 Protections
The protections required upstream each VASCOs depends on the type of installation, and local regulations. We recommend
to use overload protection with the characteristic curve of type C and type B circuit breaker, sensitive to both AC and DC
current.
4.2 Electromagnetic compliance
To ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the system, it is necessary to apply the following measures:
Always connect the device to ground
Use shielded signal cables by placing the screen at one end.
Use motor cable as short as possible (<1 m / <3 ft). For longer lengths, it is recommended to use shielded cables
connecting the screen at both ends.
Separate signal, motor, and power supply cables.
Note: To enable the restoration of the display screen when there are electromagnetic interference, VASCO periodically
provides some fast "refresh" of the display.
4.3 Installation with long motor cables
With long motor cables it’s recommended to decrease the
commutation frequency from 10 kHz (default) to 2.5 kHz
(advanced parameters). This reduces the probability of
voltage spikes in the motor windings which may damage the
insulation.
For motor cable lengths up to 50 meters it’s recommended
to place between VASCO and motor a dv / dt reactance,
available on request.
For motor cable lengths greater than 50 meters it’s
recommended to place between VASCO and motor a
sinusoidal filter, available on request.

10
5. VASCO installation
VASCO can be installed directly on the fan cover of the motor or mounted on the wall.
Motor mounting kit
In this application VASCO is cooled by the motor fan. Motor kit (available upon request) allows a solid coupling of the two
units and it is composed of:
VASCO 209,214,406,409
VASCO 414,418,425,430
n.°4 rods
n.°4 M5 nuts
n.° 4 hooks
n.° 1 cooling ring
n.° 4 M5 screws.
n.° 4 clamps
n.° 4 clips to add if necessary
n.°1 centre pin
Use the cooling ring for best cooling of VASCO during
operation. Warning: when using the cooling ring, the
cooling air of the motor is slightly warmer than without
the VASCO; if the resulting motor temperature exceeds
the indicated maximum allowable value, remove the
cooling ring, leaving the VASCO to be cooled by itself.

11
Wall mounting kit
In this application VASCO is cooled independently by its auxiliary cooling fan integrated in the radiator.
Wall-mounted kit is composed of:
VASCO 209,214,406,409
VASCO 414,418,425
n.° 1 auxiliary fan 230V AC (VASCO 209,214)
or 12 VDC (VASCO 406,409)
n.° 4 screws to fix cooling fan
n.° 1 protection grill
n.° 1 metal bracket in AISI 304
n.° 4 screws to fix VASCO to wall bracket
n.° 2 12 V DC fans.
n.° 1 fans cover.
n.° 2 fans cover fixing screws
n.° 2 wall fixing brackets
n.° 4 M5 screws for VASCO fixing to the brackets
n.°1 holes reference sheet
Make sure the manufacturer that the electric motor is suited for operation in the inverter
Make sure to properly attach the grid of the auxiliary cooling fan.
Make sure to remove the auxiliary cooling fan if VASCO is coupled to a motor. Failure to do so
creates a high risk of overheating the motor and VASCO unit.

5. VASCO Installation for constant pressure control
VASCO controls the pump speed to maintain constant pressure at a set point independent of the water demand in the
system. A basic schematic is shown below:
5.1.1 Pressure tank
Installation of a pressure tank in the hydraulic system is recommended to compensate leakage of water in the system (or
during minimum water demand) and to avoid continuous start/stop cycling of the pump (check the appendix for more
information). Selecting the proper volume and pre-charge pressure of the tank is very important; smaller tank volumes will
not compensate adequately for minimum water usage or leakage, while larger volumes make it more difficult for VASCO to
control the pressure evenly.
Recommended tank volume is equal to the 10% of the maximum water flow of the system (expressed in volume unit/min)
Example: if the max water flow is 50 liters/min, the pressure tank should have a capacity of 5 liters
If the max water flow is 20 gpm, the pressure tank should have a capacity of 2 gallons
Pre-charge pressure of the pressure tank should be at least 80% than the set-pressure of the system.
Example: if the set-pressure of the system is 4 bar, the pre-charge pressure of the tank should be 3.2 bar
If the set-pressure of the system is 60 psi, the pre-charge pressure of the tank should be 48 psi
5.1.2 Pressure sensor
VASCO requires a pressure sensor with a linear output signal within the range 4 –20 mA. The pressure transducer can be
powered by any range of DC Voltage which includes the value 15 V dc. It is necessary to set the pressure sensor
characteristics in the initial configuration menu or in the installer menu (please check the relevant chapter on setting
parameters). Connect the sensor cable wires to the analog input terminals as follows:
0V: GND signal (if available)
AN1: signal 4-20 mA (-)
+15: 15 Vdc (+)
VASCO accepts the signal of a second pressure sensor in order to:
realize constant differential pressure (AN1 –AN2).
substitute first pressure sensor when it fails
0V: GND signal (if available)
AN2: signal 4-20 mA (-)
+15: 15 Vdc (+)

6. VASCO Use and Programming
VASCO software is extremely simple to use, but allows a wide variety of parameters to be set for ideal system
calibration. Setting Parameters are organized in 2 levels:
1: Installer level
A password is required for this level; these parameters are adjustable by trained professionals
Default password: 001
From the menu a different password can be set up.
2. Advanced level
A second and different password is required; improper setting of these advanced parameters could compromise the
integrity and the life of VASCO and pump;
Default password 002
It is possible to set up a different password.
Installer and Advanced levels can be entered only with the correct password; otherwise, it is impossible to set up
and/or modify any parameters (they can be only displayed).
6.1 VASCO display
Screen is a back-lit LCD displaying 2 rows of 16 digits each. Alarms are indicated by an audible signal.
6.2 Initial configuration
When VASCO is switched on for the first time, the initial setting menu is displayed for the initial setting of parameters to
configure pump characteristics, pressure sensor range, and system characteristics.
If the initial setting procedure is not completed properly, it is impossible to run the pump. Initial setting procedure can be
repeated if necessary.
The initial setting procedure can be repeated (by using the 2rd level password) to reconfigure VASCO or if VASCO is installed
in a different system.

Time to update p set for losses compensation.
To ensure proper operation of pressure control is recommended to place the sensor near the pump.
To compensate the pressure loss in the pipes (proportional to flow) it is possible to vary the pressure set in a linear relation
with respect to frequency. If Q = 0, Set pressure is granted while at the max output frequency will be granted the Set pressure
+ p loss compens.
It can perform the following test to verify the correct value of p loss compensation:
1. install a pressure gauge away from the pressure sensor
2. open completely the valve
3. check the pressure gauge
--> Set the value of p loss compens. equal to the difference of the values from the two gauges.
When using a group of pumps, the pressure compensation to be applied to each pump is equal to the total pressure
compensation (when all the pumps are running at full speed) divided by the number of pumps in the group.

0.5
It's the increase of pressure respect to pressure
set which must be passed so that there is a forced
shutdown of the pump.
0.5
The common parameters than you should get the
temperature above the temperature set so that
the pump, arrested earlier, are restarted.
1
It's the temperature rise compared to
temperature set which must be passed so that
there is a forced shutdown of the pump.
0.5
This value represents the flow drop below the set
flow required to start the pump.
1
It's the increase of flow respect to flow set which
must be passed so that there is a forced
shutdown of the pump.
Kp and Ki parameters allow the dynamic control
of system by VASCO; set values (Ki=50, Kp=005)
are usually enough to get a valid dynamic control;
if the set pressure do not consent a valid control,
proceed as follows; increase or reduce Ki while
keeping Kp constant; if the problem persists,
increase Kp value and increase or reduce the Ki
value again till a good dynamic control is reached.
OFF
Function to activate (ON) the first auxiliary pump
DOL 1 (Direct On Line pump).
OFF
Function to activate (ON) the second auxiliary
pump DOL 2 (Direct On Line pump).
OFF
Function to allow alternating starting priority
between the DOL pumps in order to allow equal
use of them.
1
delay time with which the pumps DOL start after
the variable speed pump has reached the
maximum frequency and the pressure value has
fallen below set pressure –delta start pressure
OFF
Function to enable multiple VASCO’s to work in
parallel as described in the technical appendix
(see the relevant chapter). Up to 8 VASCO units
can be connected in parallel.
VASCO’s communication through RS 485 gates is
granted by a private protocol.
Direct
Direct: increasing misured pressure, VASCO
decreases motor frequency.
Inverse: increasing misured pressure, VASCO
increase motor frequency.
