WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Instruction manual
Read throuhfully this instruction manual before using the Variable Speed Drive, VSD
Mains voltage selection
The variable speed drive may be ordered for use with the mains voltage range listed below.
SX-F-4: 230-480 V
SX-F-6: 500-690 V
IT Mains supply
The variable speed drives can be modified for an IT mains supply, (non-earthed neutral), check
manual and contract your supplier in case of doubt.
EMC Regulations
In order to comply with the EMC Directive, it is absolutely necessary to follow the installation
instructions.
Transport
To avoid damage, keep the variable speed drive in its original packaging during transport. This
packaging is specially designed to absorb shocks during transport.
Handling the inverter
Installation, commissioning, dismounting, taking measurements, etc, of or on the variable speed
drive may only be carried out by personnel technically qualified for the task. The installation must
be carried out in accordance with local standards.

v
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS Safety Instructions
Condensation
If the variable speed drive is moved from a cold (storage) room to a room where it will be
installed, condensation can occur. This can result in sensitive components becoming damp. Do
not connect the mains voltage until all visible dampness has evaporated.
Grounding the inverter
Be sure to ground the unit. Not doing so may result in a serious injury due to an electric shock or
fire.
Power factor capacitors for improving cos
Remove all capacitors from the motor and the motor outlet.
Incorrect connection
The variable speed drive is not protected against incorrect connection of the mains voltage, and
in particular against connection of the mains voltage to the motor outlets U, V and W. The vari-
able speed drive can be damaged in this way.
Stop motion mechanical device to ensure safety
The inverter controls the motor electrically, but has no means to stop it mechanically under some
types of failures... In applications where mechanical stop is required to a degree of safety, a
safety assurance study should be carried out to determine the need of additional mechanical
braking devices.
Braking resistor and regenerative braking units
In case the application needs it, be sure to use a specified type of braking resistor/regenerative
braking unit. In case of a braking resistor, install a thermal relay that monitors the temperature of
the resistor. Not doing so might result in a burn due to the heat generated in the braking resistor/
regenerative braking unit. Configure a sequence that enables the Inverter power to turn off when
unusual overheating is detected in the braking resistor/regenerative braking unit.
Electric protection of installation
Take safety precautions such as setting up a molded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) or fuses that
matches the Inverter capacity on the power supply side. Not doing so might result in damage to
property due to the short circuit of the load.
Wiring works and servicing the inverter
Wiring work must be carried out only by qualified personnel. Not doing so may result in a serious
injury due to an electric shock. Do not dismantle, repair or modify this product if you’re not autho-
rised and qualified for it. Doing so may result in an injury.
DC-link residual voltage
After switching off the mains supply, dangerous voltage can still be present in the VSD. When
opening the VSD for installing and/or commissioning activities wait at least 10 minutes. In case
of malfunction a qualified technician should check the DC-link or wait for one hour before dis-
mantling the VSD for repair.
Opening the variable speed drive cover
Only qualified technician can open the inverter. Always take adequate precautions before open-
ing the inverter. Although the connections for the control signals and the switches are isolated
from the main voltage, do not touch the control board when the variable speed drive is switched
on.
Do not manipulate inverter under power
Do not change wiring , put on or take off optional devices or replace cooling fans while the input
power is being supplied. Doing so may result in a serious injury due to an electric shock. Inspec-
tion of the Inverter must be conducted after the power supply has been turned off. Not doing so
may result in a serious injury due to an electric shock. The main power supply is not necessarily
shut off even if the emergency shutoff function is activated.

vi
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS Safety Instructions
Precautions to be taken with a connected motor
If work must be carried out on a connected motor or on the driven machine, the mains voltage
must always be disconnected from the variable speed drive first. Wait at least 5 minutes before
starting work.
Short-circuits
The Inverter has high voltage parts inside which, if short-circuited, might cause damage to itself
or other property. Place covers on the openings or take other precautions to make sure that no
metal objects such as cutting bits or lead wire scraps go inside when installing and wiring.
Earth leakage current
This variable speed drive has an earth leakage current which does exceed 3.5 mA AC. There-
fore the minimum size of the protective earth conductor must comply with the local safety regula-
tions for high leakage current equipment which means that according the standard IEC61800-5-
1 the protective earth connection must be assured by one of following conditions:
1. PE conductor cross-sectional are shall for cable size 16mm2be equal to the used phase
conductors, for cable size above 16mm2but smaller or equal to 35mm2the PE conductor
cross-sectional area shall be at least 16mm2. For cables > 35mm2the PE conductor cross-
sectional area should be at least 50% of the used phase conductor.
2. When the PE conductor in the used cable type is not in accordance with the above mentioned
cross-sectional area requirements, a separate PE conductor should be used to establish this.
Residual current device (RCD) compatibility
This product cause a DC current in the protective conductor. Where a residual current device
(RCD) is used for protection in case of direct or indirect contact, only a Type B RCD is allowed on
the supply side of this product. Use RCD of 300 mA minimum.
Voltage tests (Megger)
Do not carry out voltage tests (Megger) on the motor, before all the motor cables have been dis-
connected from the variable speed drive.
Precautions during Autoreset
When the automatic reset is active, the motor may restart automatically provided that the cause
of the trip has been removed. If necessary take the appropriate precautions.
Heat warning
Be aware of specific parts on the VSD having high temperature. Do not touch the Inverter fins, brak-
ing resistors and the motor, which may become too hot during the power supply and for some time after the
power shut-off. Doing so may result in a burn.
Do not Operate the inverter with wet hands
Do not operate the Digital Operator or switches with wet hands. Doing so may result in a serious
injury due to an electric shock.
Warning
The Brake Resistor must be connected between terminals DC+ and R.
Warning
In order to work safely, the mains earth must be connected to PE and the motor earth to .

SECTION 1
Introduction
Omron SX-F is intended for controlling the speed and torque of standard three
phase asynchronous electrical motors. The VSD is equipped with direct
torque control which uses built-in DSP, giving the VSD the capability of high
dynamic performance even at very low speeds without using feedback signals
from the motor. Therefore the inverter is designed for use in high dynamic
applications where low speed high torque and high-speed accuracy are
demanded. In “simpler” application such as fans or pumps, the SX-F direct
torque control offers other great advantages such as insensitivity to mains dis-
turbances or load shocks.
Users
