Introduction
The frequency inverter described in this operating manual is used for frequency (Hz) or speed (rpm) control of
three-phase AC induction motors. This manual describes how to install and use the inverter.
Read the manual carefully before installing the inverter, to ensure you install it correctly and get the maximum
performance out of it.
The inverter has a patented switch circuitry that ensures the motor receives a sinusoidal voltage at all times, under
all operating conditions. This solves all problems related to conventional PWM based frequency inverters, e.g.
electromagnetic interference, ball bearing damage, high earth currents and high switching noise.
A 30mA rated RCD (earth leakage circuit breaker) can be used with this frequency inverter.
The inverter also uses the patent "Natural field orientation" which is a vector control method to give perfect speed
control of induction motors all the way from zero to full speed.
1 Safety aspects
Always disconnect the inverter from the mains supply before working on any electrical- or mechanical installation
components.
Installation, maintenance and repairs must always be conducted by staff adequately trained and experienced for
the purpose.
Modifying or replacing any components of the inverter or its accessories will render the inverter warranty null and
void. Should the need for any modifications or replacements arise, always contact NFO Drives AB.
Components in the power section and some components in the signal section are connected to the mains supply
when the inverter is powered.
WARNING! Touching any components with the mains supply connected can be fatal. Always disconnect the
mains supply before opening the cover.
WARNING! Even when disconnected from the mains supply, the inverter may still contain lethal voltages
due to its buffer capacitors. Always wait at least five minutes to make sure no voltage remains before
working with the inverter.
WARNING! The heat sink of the inverter may get hot, depending on operating conditions. Do not touch.
WARNING! Spontaneous start. When controlled from a communication bus or remote unit, the motor may
start at any moment. Pressing STOP on the inverter is not sufficient, as bus master or remote unit may re-
gain control over inverter and start motor again. Disconnect run signal at terminal DIN1 to safely inhibit start.
For connection of mains supply, the inverter shall be permanently connected to fixed wiring including a circuit
breaker which must be used to ensure all-pole disconnection under overvoltage III conditions.
The inverter shall always be connected to protective earth (P.E.) when the mains supply is connected.
If the motor temperature sensor (PTC/Klixon) functionality is used, the sensor and its wiring must supply
adequate isolation and comply with installation requirements for the equipment in use.
The level of integrity offered by the drive control input functions – for example stop/start, forward/reverse and
maximum speed, are not sufficient for use in safety-critical applications without independent channels of
protection. All applications where malfunction could cause injury or loss of life must be subject to a risk
assessment and further protection provided where needed.

Notes:
[1] The inverter is optimized for use at a wide range of nominal motor currents in the power ranges of 0.37 kW to
2.2 kW.
[2]
The inverter application should not be dimensioned for higher continuous current than Rated output current.
However, it can supply Max output current for an infinite time, but it may be detrimental to its life span.

Apparent output power Sr,equ used for IE (International Efficiency) classification.
[4]
Measured at a load point corresponding to 90% of rated frequency and 100% of rated output current.
[5]
CDM (Complete Drive Module) efficiency class according to Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/1781 and
IEC 61800-9-2:2017.
[6]
Due to sinusoidal voltage output from the NFO inverter, the expected additional harmonic losses in the motor,
which are present when using a PWM inverter, are now absent.
IEC 61800-9-2:2017: “When [three-phase induction motors] are operated on a CDM, additional harmonic
losses PLHL = rLHL × PLTsin are caused by the non-sinusoidal voltage supply”. The increase of motor losses as a
result of PWM operation (rLHL) are estimated to 15% of the total losses. According to the reference model for a
2.2kW IE2 or IE3 induction motor, this corresponds to about 0,05 kW.
When determining the overall efficiency of the PDS (Power Drive System, i.e. inverter and motor together), it
should be taken into account that motor losses are approximately 15% lower when using an inverter with
sinusoidal voltage output, than it would be if using a conventional PWM inverter.
[7]
No external control equipment connected to the 24V supply output, and cooling fan regulator at low speed.

3 Mechanical installation
When unpacking the inverter, carefully inspect the product and make sure it has not been damaged during
transportation. Inverter with cracks, dents or other visual damage shall not be installed.
The inverter must not be installed such that outlet air from another inverter or other equipment blows directly
into the inverter air intake. A minimum of 80 mm clearance must be kept above and below the inverter, and a
minimum of 20 mm vertical gap must be kept between inverters, to ensure sufficient air flow.
All terminals are accessed by opening the plastic cover. To be able to use the snap-and-hold-open
functionality of the cover, a free space of 200 mm is required above the inverter.
During installation it is important that no foreign objects, such as cable strands or screws, fall into the inverter
as a short circuit may occur. Drilling in chassis or cover is not allowed.
After installation, make sure all grommets at the cable entries are mounted and the cover is closed and
secured with its screws to avoid contact with dangerous voltages.
3.1 Mounting
Unscrew the two lower captive screws and loosen the inverter from the backplate. Fasten backplate to a vertical
surface using four screws. Make sure that the top mounting screws are sufficiently strong to hold the entire weight
of the inverter. Place the inverter on the backplate by mating the chassis cut-out to the backplate hooks. Tighten
the lower captive screws on both sides.
The cover is opened by unscrewing the two captive screws in the plastic cover and fold up the cover until it snaps
tight. There are two possible positions for the cover. Close the cover by pulling it out and fold down. Be careful not
to break the snaps in the cover when folding down. Tighten the screws in the plastic cover.
The plastic cover can be removed by unscrewing the two upper screws after the cover is opened. The cable from
the cover to the control board must be carefully removed from the control board. Replace in reverse order.

NFODrivesAB2021201013‐2OperatingandInstallationManual8
4 Electrical installation
Connect mains power to terminals L1, L2, L3 and PE.
Connect motor cable to terminals U, V, W and PE using standard unshielded cable.
Never install contactors or switches between the inverter (terminals U, V and W) and the motor that
intentionally or unintentionally may be used to disconnect the motor from inverter output.
A motor safety switch can be mounted between the inverter (terminals U, V and W) and the motor, but it
must only be operated when the motor is not running.
First time powered up, the installer must select application, enter motor name plate data, and perform a
motor tuning.
Connect/install the necessary low voltage signalling that is required for your application, e.g. a run signal for
start/stop, analog input for setpoint, communication, etc.
Make sure run signal is not activated until installer has completed the setup of the inverter.
Make sure the low voltage signal wires have sufficient isolation when passing nearby power cables.
Fig.1. Default configuration
3006469-2022-04
NFODrivesAB2021201013‐2OperatingandInstallationManual9
Terminals 11, 12, 30 and 31 (0V) are connected to PE with a 1MΩresistor but can be connected galvanically to PE
via an external jumper to terminal 19 or 36 (PE). These terminals may vary in terms of potential by up to 100 V from
PE. The USB contact is galvanically connected to 0V.
AIN1.N and AIN2.N are connected to 0V by jumpers J701 and J703.
Warning! If option Autostart is ON and there is a run signal to the inverter (DIN1, terminal 1), the inverter will
start the motor when power is applied.
An external brake-resistor must be fitted if the retardation time is less than 5 sec, see section 6.
If a Motor Safety Thermistor is to be used, jumper J802 must be set accordingly, see 5.12.1.
4.1 Signal terminal connection
The signal terminals are of type “tension clamp spring connection” with a usable cable cross-section of 0.13 - 2.5
mm² (AWG 26 - AWG 14). To connect the cable, carefully push the actuator downward. If a tool is used, make sure
it does not damage any components on the circuit board. The signal cables should be fixed to the PCB with at least
two straps.

4.1.2 Signal terminals configuration
The jumpers on the control board are for the
configuration of the analogue- & digital-
inputs as well as the serial RS485 channel.
The placement and default settings of the
jumpers are seen in Fig. 2 and explanations
about their use are described in the following
sections.
Fig. 2. Jumper placement and default settings
4.1.3 Analogue current input
To use analogue current input 1, move J701
to “I” position. If more than one unit is
controlled by a single current input signal,
then J702 should be removed or moved to
position “X”. This allows the common-mode
voltage to vary by ±24V from 0V
The same applies for J703 and J704 when
using analogue current input 2.
Input resistance: 82Ω.
Note: When used as voltage inputs, J702 and
J704 must be mounted in “0” position.
Fig.3. Analogue current input configuration
3006469-2022-04
NFODrivesAB2021201013‐2OperatingandInstallationManual12
4.1.4 Negative logic
The inverter can be configured to run the
digital inputs (DIN1 to DIN8) with negative
logic. This is done by moving jumper J801 to
the “NEG LOG” position. The inputs are then
made active by connecting them to the 0V
(terminals 11,12, 30 or 31), see Fig.4.
If the PTC function is to be used with
negative logic, an external resistor (1,5kΩ,
min 1/2W) must be connected between the
terminals DIN8 and 0V. And J802 must be in
the OFF position.
Fig.4. Connection via negative logic (jumper J801 moved)
4.1.5 Serial channel RS485
The inverter can be controlled via an RS485 type
serial channel. Connection is made through
terminals 32 (RS485.A) and 34 (RS485.B). If the
signals are to be bridged to further units, terminals
33 and 35 can be used as in Fig.5.
Termination of the serial channel with 124Ωresistor
is available by moving jumper J803 to position “485
TERM. ON”.
Fig.5. Connection RS485
4.1.6 Connecting potentiometer
If a potentiometer is to be used as the setpoint
source, it is connected between the analogue
voltage output AOUT2.U (27) and the analogue
voltage input AIN1.P (11 or 12).
Change parameter AinSet to Pot and this
automatically configures AOUT2.U to supply 10V.
The value of the potentiometer should be between
4,7kΩand 22kΩ. A lower value will give a lower
maximum frequency because of a 50Ωoutput
impedance in AOUT2.U.

4.2 Power terminal connection
4.2.1 Connectors and cables
The power terminals are of type “Push-Lock” with a cross section of 0.2 – 6mm2(AWG 24 – AWG 10). Use cable
type(-s) with operating temperature rating of at least 70C. The cable insulation shall be stripped 12 mm before
pushed into the connector, and then the lever shall be closed.
It is important that the lever is pushed to its fully closed position, as shown below:

Table 4. Use of power terminals
When installing two or more inverters together, with one or more of their motors running regeneratively, the
inverters DC link terminals (+ and -) can be connected to each other (thus supplying energy to each other).
Note! As there are component tolerances in the inverters, the link voltage may vary slightly between units, so an
equalising resistor and ultra-fast fuse must be fitted to each line.
Contact NFO Drives AB for correct dimensioning.

With the mains supply connected correctly and the motor running, the inverter draws less than 2 mA earth current
in the PE connection. An earth leakage circuit-breaker or RCD 30mA can be used with the inverter.
Turning on and off the mains supply too frequently can damage the inrush circuit of the inverter.
Wait at least 1 min between each power up. Do not use the mains supply for frequent on/off control
of the motor.
4.2.4 Connecting motor
Connect motor cables to terminals U, V, W and PE.
Nominal motor voltage for three-phase fed inverters is 400V. A motor with a nominal voltage of 400V–Y / 230V–D
must be configured for Y-connection, and a motor with nominal voltage of 690V–Y / 400V–D must be configured for
D-connection.
Setup of motor parameters and autotuning must always be performed before first motor start.
A motor safety switch can be mounted between the inverter (terminals U, V and W) and the motor, but it
must only be operated (switched off or on) when the motor is not running.
Never install contactors or switches between the inverter (terminals U, V and W) and the motor that
intentionally or unintentionally may be used to disconnect the motor from inverter output.
EMC standards is met without use of shielded motor cables, if the inverter is correctly installed.
There is no limit to the length of the motor cable as the inverter always supplies a sinusoidal voltage
to the motor. Of course, a slight drop in the voltage (resistance in cables) must be allowed for, which
is accounted for during the autotuning. Use cable with a resistance in each phase that is sufficiently
(and significantly) lower than the resistance in each motor phase winding (stator resistance).

5 Parameter settings and operation
5.1 General notes
The inverter can be used in the following modes of control:
Frequency regulation of an induction motor (motor speed is not compensated for load variations) with a fixed
digital or analogue setpoint. The motor's electrical frequency is shown on the display. This is the factory default
mode.
Speed regulation for an induction motor with speed calculation (motor speed compensated for load variations)
with a fixed digital or analogue setpoint. The motor's estimated speed is shown in the display.
In the above modes, the setpoint can also be the output from the internal PI-regulator with feedback from a process
controlled by an induction motor.
Setup of motor parameters and motor tuning must always be performed before first motor start.

5.3 Indicators and Motor status
The indicator lights below the display have the following meaning:
POWER The inverter is powered.
RUN The motor is running.
FAIL An alarm or error has been detected.
The Motor status, shown in the lower left corner of the display, has the following meaning:
Run Motor is running.
Stopping Motor is decelerating towards a stop.
Standby Inverter standby, waiting for Run signal (DIN1).
Disable Inverter is not ready or will not accept Run signal.
Waiting Inverter is waiting for an internal timer to finish.
5.4 Operating modes
The inverter has four operating modes, Inhibit, Manual, Auto and Bus. When starting and initiating the inverter it
enters the Auto mode and the RUN screen is shown. The Auto mode is used for controlling the inverter with an
external start signal from terminal 1 (DIN1). The Manual mode is normally used for test and programming, as well
as running the inverter, with the use of the keyboard.
The inverter will start the motor automatically when it is powered up if terminal 1 (DIN1 = run signal) is active
and parameter AutoStart=ON. Parameter AutoStart is factory set to OFF to prevent unintentional motor
starts during commissioning. If the inverter is powered up with an active run signal and AutoStart = OFF, the
inverter will remain in mode Inhibit until run signal goes inactive (or AutoStart is set ON).
The following flowchart Fig. 10 shows how to switch between Manual and Auto modes:
Fig. 10. Flowchart switching between modes and screen examples
You can toggle between Auto and Manual mode at any time by pressing .
The chosen mode is displayed in the right lower corner of the screen.
The inverter starts automatically, or continues to run if it is running, when entering Auto mode if terminal 1
(DIN1) is active.

5.4.1 Manual Mode
You can switch to Manual mode at any time by pressing . If the motor is running in Auto mode, it will continue
to run in Manual mode with the setpoint the same as the actual value at the time of the switch over.
The setpoint and actual value are shown on the screen. The setpoint is increased by pressing , decreased by
pressing and saved by pressing .
The motor is started by pressing and stopped by pressing . When the motor is running, Run is shown
in the lower left corner of the screen. When the motor is stopped, Stopping is shown.
5.4.2 Auto Mode
You can switch to Auto mode at any time by pressing . If terminal 1 (DIN1) is active the motor starts. Auto
mode can also be reached by toggling terminal 1 (DIN1 Run) with AutoStart = ON, or by serial channel command.
If the inverter is in Auto mode and run signal terminal 1 (DIN1) is not active, the Motor status shows Standby.
The source for the setpoint is selected by the parameter Op Mode (Setp Source) for the control mode concerned
see 5.9.1, 5.10.1 and 5.11.1.
If selecting Op Mode (Setp Source) to:
Terminal: enables the setpoint source to be selected from the digital input signal terminals as inTable 7. Setpoint
sources can be changed while inverter is running and apply immediately.
Analog 1 F - 2 F: runs clockwise with analog setpoint. The analog signal range and input type is selected using
parameter AinSet from the Control parameter group as in Table 8. The analog input value is then scaled between
the lowest setpoint (Min Ain Frq, Min Ain Spd or Set Min = lowest analog input value) and the highest setpoint (Max
Ain Frq, Max Ain Spd or Set Max = highest input value).
Analog 1 R - 2 R:as Analog F, but running counter-clockwise.
Fix-1 F - 7 F: runs clockwise with setpoint from corresponding fixed value parameter for the selected control mode
Fix-1 R - 7 R:as Fix-1 F – Fix-7 F, but running counter-clockwise.
