Personnel in charge of incorporation/installation, operation and maintenance of the AD1000 must be aware that knowing and applying the
safety rules is an integral part of their tasks.
The definition of an experienced person and of a designated person for managing the electrical systems is as per the EN 50110 1 standard, to
which reference must be made for further details.
In accordance with the EN 50110 1 standard, unauthorised and unqualified personnel cannot access the area where the AD1000 is installed
Perform the following operations before starting to use the AD1000:
• Read this User and Maintenance Manual and the related documentation carefully
• Make sure the AD1000 is fully incorporated/installed in the equipment or system for which it is intended
• Make sure all of the necessary safety devices are present to ensure the equipment/system conforms with the instructions of the applicable
Directives
• Know which safety devices and protections have been provided and are available in the AD1000, with their position and function inside the
equipment.
Do not start the AD1000 unless the equipment/system/machinery into which it must be incorporated or installed has been declared in
compliance with the rules of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and of the Directives applicable to the equipment/system/machinery in its entirety.
WARNING
The various safety devices and systems are listed in chapter 4.
HAZARD
Disconnecting or partially removing the safety protections positioned to protect against dangerous parts is prohibited.
Removing any danger, caution, prohibition, notice signs is prohibited.
Opening the electrical panels while they are operating or immediately after power has been disconnected is strictly prohibited. Wait at least 10
minutes before opening the electrical panels after having disconnected power.
All of the safety and protection devices must be maintained fully efficient in order to ensure they work properly. They must be immediately
repaired or replaced by the after sales assistance centre in case of damage or malfunction.

1INSTALLATION OVERVIEW AND DIAGRAM
1.1 Overview
The AD1000 is a high performance drive that can reduce energy demand significantly by automatically adjusting pumps’ operating conditions to
meet system demands in a wide range of water, wastewater and irrigation pump applications. Developed by pump automation e perts at
Nidec, the versatile and reliable AD1000 is designed for optimum performance and reliability with minimal maintenance.
While virtually ‘plug and play’ for standard applications, the AD1000’s fle ible, modular design can also be easily configured to meet the most
challenging applications.
The AD1000 drive is designed with today’s pump system requirements in mind. The AD1000 drive’s highly responsive, built-in intelligence
enables it to continuously monitor operating conditions and adjust automatically to changes to ensure safe operation and optimal water flow
control.

The AD1000 drive can control the motor in two different ways
a. Scalar V/f for simple applications without speed feedback.
b. Sensorless Vector V/f for applications that require more dynamic performance and accuracy and without speed feedback.

NOTES
•Each different Identification Code configuration corresponds to a different SAP code.
•STO Function
-For frames up to 028F, the STO function requires an external contactor on the main AC line (letter D in field 15).
-For frames starting from 030F, the function is entirely carried out inside the drive (letter T in field 15).
-The STO option must be defined before ordering the inverter (factory installed and tested).
-When the STO function is installed, the DO3 relay programmable digital output is no longer available.
•Dynamic Braking
-The braking switch is always integrated from frame 0P3F to frame 036F;
-From frame 045F to frame 290F the internal braking switch is optional;
-From frame 350F to frame 520F the internal braking switch is not available.
•Internal RFI filter
-The RFI filter is optional for drives up to frame 028F;
-The RFI filter is standard for drives from frame 030F to 520F;
