WARNING! The VersiDrive i should ONLY be installed by a qualified electrician.
NOTE This guide does not provide detailed installation, safety or operational instructions.
See the VersiDrive E3S IP66 Outdoor User Manual for complete information.
Unpack and check the drive. Notify the supplier and shipper immediately of any damage.
1CHECK
Identifying the Drive by Model Number
Each drive can be identified by its model number, as shown in the table below. The model number is on the shipping label and
the drive nameplate. The model number includes the drive and any options.
2PREPARE
Prepare the Mounting Location
The VersiDrive must be mounted in a vertical position only.
Installation should be on a suitable flat, flame resistant
surface. Do not mount flammable material close to the
drive.
Refer to Technical Data and ensure the chosen mounting
location is within the drive specification.
The mounting location should be free from vibration.

Do not mount the drive in any area with excessive humidity,
corrosive airborne chemicals or potentially dangerous dust
particles.
Avoid mounting close to high heat sources.
The drive must not be mounted in direct sunlight. If
necessary, install a suitable shade cover.
The mounting location must be free from frost.
Do not restrict the flow of air through the drive heatsink.
The drive generates heat which must be naturally allowed
to dissipate. Correct air clearance around the drive must
be observed.
If the location is subject to wide ambient temperature
and air pressure variation, install a suitable pressure
compensation valve in the drive gland plate.
NOTE If the drive has been in storage for a period longer than 2 years, the DC link capacitors must be reformed. Refer to
online documentation for further information.

Cable Selection

For 1 phase supply (Sizes 1-3 only), the mains power cables should be connected to L1/L, L2/N.
For 3 phase supplies, the mains power cables should be connected to L1, L2, and L3. Phase sequence is not important.
For compliance with CE and C Tick EMC requirements, refer to online documentation.
A fixed installation is required according to IEC61800-5-1 with a suitable disconnecting device installed between the
VersiDrive and the AC Power Source. The disconnecting device must conform to the local safety code / regulations (e.g.
within Europe, EN60204-1, Safety of machinery).
The cables should be dimensioned according to any local codes or regulations. Maximum dimensions are given in the
Rating Tables section of this Quick Start Guide.

Connections
Most general purpose motors
are wound for operation on dual

Information for UL Compliance
VersiDrive E3S is designed to meet the UL requirements. For an up to date list of UL compliant products, please refer to UL
listing NMMS.E226333. In order to ensure full compliance, the following must be fully observed.
Input Power Supply Requirements
Supply Voltage 200 – 240 RMS Volts for 230 Volt rated units, + /- 10% variation allowed. 240 Volt RMS Maximum.
380 – 480 Volts for 400 Volt rated units, + / - 10% variation allowed, Maximum 500 Volts RMS.
Frequency 50 – 60Hz + / - 5% Variation
Short Circuit
Capacity
All drives are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 100kA maximum short-
circuit Amperes symmetrical with the specified maximum supply voltage when protected by Class J fuses.
Mechanical Installation Requirements
All VersiDrive E3S units are intended for installation within controlled environments which meet the condition limits shown in
the Environment section of this Quick Start Guide.
The drive can be operated within an ambient temperature range as stated in the Environment section of this Quick Start Guide.
For IP66 (Nema 4X) units, installation in a pollution degree 2 environment is permissible.
Electrical Installation Requirements
Incoming power supply connection must be according to the Install the Wiring section of this Quick Start Guide.
Suitable power and motor cables should be selected according to the data shown in Rating Tables section of this Quick
Start Guide and the National Electrical Code or other applicable local codes.
Motor Cable 75°C Copper must be used.
Power cable connections and tightening torques are shown in the Mechanical Dimensions section of this Quick Start Guide.
Integral Solid Sate short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit protection. Branch circuit protection must be
provided in accordance with the national electrical code and any additional local codes. Ratings are shown in the Rating
Tables section of this Quick Start Guide.
For Canadian installations transient surge suppression must be installed on the line side of this equipment and shall be rated
480Volt (phase to ground), 480 Volt (phase to phase), suitable for over voltage category iii and shall provide protection for
a rated impulse withstand voltage peak of 2.5kV.

General Requirements
VersiDrive E3S provides motor overload protection, set at 150% of full load, in accordance with the National Electrical Code

Where a motor thermistor is fitted and connected to the drive, connection must be carried out according to the information
shown in the Motor Thermistor Connection section of the Quick Start Guide.
UL rated ingress protection (“Type” ) is only met when cables are installed using a UL recognized bushing or fitting for a
flexible conduit system which meets the required level of protection (“Type”).
For conduit installations the conduit entry holes require standard opening to the required sizes specified per the NEC.
Not intended for installation using rigid conduit system.
WARNING: The opening of the branch-circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault has been interrupted. To reduce
the risk of fire or electric shock, current-carrying parts and other components of the controller should be examined and replaced if
damaged. If burnout of the current element of an overload relay occurs, the complete overload relay must be replaced.
Control Terminal Wiring

Single Phase Motor - Boost Starting cycle
In order to provide a reliable method for starting the motor, a special technique is used. The motor is started immediately at rated frequency,
whilst the voltage is ramped from an initial Boost Voltage (set in P-11) to the Motor Rated Voltage (set in P-07) over a Boost Period Duration
(set in P-33). Following the starting boost period, the drive then begins to control the output frequency and speed of the motor. The graphs
below show how this operation works.

In order to achieve reliable starting and optimise the starting method, the following procedure can be used.
1.The motor must be correctly connected to the drive and safe to operate before using this procedure.
2.Ensure the motor rated voltage (P-07) and current (P-08) have been correctly programmed in the drive parameters.
3.Select Extended Parameter Access by setting P-14 = 101.
4.Set the Boost Period Duration P-33 to the maximum allowed value of 150 seconds.
5.
Start the drive, and display the motor current (press the Navigate button until the display shows “$x.x” where x is the motor
current).
6. Check the current value compared to the motor rated current around 3 – 5 seconds after starting the drive
a. If the current displayed is less than 80% of the motor rated current
o Stop the drive
o Increase P-11
o Repeat from step 5
b. If the current displayed is greater than 90% of the motor rated current
o Stop the drive
o Reduce P-11
o Repeat from step 5
7.The correct boost voltage setting should deliver 80 – 90% of the motor rated current approximately 3 – 5 seconds after
enabling the drive.
8.Now the boost Period Duration may be reduced to match the actual time required for the motor to start. The simplest
method is to initially reduce in large steps and monitot the motor behaviour on starting the drive. The ideal boost period will
be a few seconds longer than is required to bring the motor to full speed.
By following this procedure, the motor starting parameter can be optimised to start the motor reliably without excessive starting
current.
