NOTICE
RECEPTION
•The SD500 is carefully tested and completely packaged before leaving the factory.
•In the event of transport damage, please ensure that you notify the transport agency and
POWER ELECTRONICS: 902 40 20 70 (International [phone]) or your nearest
agent, within 24hrs from receipt of the goods.
UNPACKING
•Make sure the model and serial number of the variable speed drive are the same on the
box, delivery note and unit.
•Each variable speed drive is supplied with the Hardware and Installation Manual.
RECYCLING
Packaging equipment must be recycled. Separate all different materials (plastic, paper, cardboard,
wood…) and place them in the corresponding containers. Ensure waste collection is properly managed
with a Non-Hazardous Waste Agent.
To guarantee health and natural environmental sources protection, the European Union
has adopted the WEEE directive concerning discarded electric and electronic equipment
(SEEA).
Waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) must be collected selectively
for proper environmental management.
Our products contain electronic cards, capacitors and other electronic devices that should
be separated when they are no longer functional. These WEEEs should be managed
accordingly with a Hazardous Waste Agent.
Power Electronics promotes good environmental practices and recommends that all its
products sold outside of the European Union, once they reach the end of their life, are
separated and the WEEE managed according to the particular country applicable
legislation (especially: electronic cards, capacitors and other electronic devices).
If you have any questions about the electric and electronic equipment waste, please contact Power
Electronics.

EMC
•According to EN 61800-3, the frequency inverter is not intended to be used in low voltage
public network which supplies in domestic premises. Radio frequency interference is
expected in such a network.
•With additional activities (e.g. EMC-Filter), it is possible to use these devices in the “First
environment” according to EN 61800-3 Category C2.
CAPACITORS DEPLETION
If the drive has not been operated for a long time, capacitors lose their charging characteristics and are
depleted. To prevent depletion,once a year run the device under no-load conditions during 30-60 minutes.
SAFETY
Before operating the drive, read this manual thoroughly to gain an understanding of the unit. If any doubt
exists, please contact POWER ELECTRONICS (902 40 20 70 / [phone]) or your nearest agent.
•Wear safety glasses when operating the drive when power is applied and the front cover is
removed.
•Handle the drive with care according to its weight.
•Install the drive according to the instructions within this manual.
•Do not place heavy objects on the drive.
•Ensure that the mounting orientation is correct.
•Do not drop the drive or subject it to impact.
•The SD500 drives contain static sensitive printed circuits boards. Use static safety
procedures when handling these boards.
•Avoid installing the drive under conditions that differ from those described in the Technical
Characteristics section of this manual.
CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
•To ensure correct operation of the drive, it is recommended to use a SCREENED CABLE
for the control wiring.
•For EMERGENCY STOP, make sure supply circuitry is open.
•Do not disconnect motor cables if the input power supply remains connected. If the incoming
power is connected and applied to the output terminals (U, V, W), the internal circuits of the
SD500 Series will be damaged.
•It is not recommended to use a 3-wire cable for long distances. Due to increased leakage
capacitance between conductors, over-current protective feature may not operate correctly.
•Do not use power factor correction capacitors, surge suppressors, or RFI filters on the
output side of the drive. Otherwise, these components could be damaged.
•Always check whether the DC Link LED is OFF before wiring the terminals. The capacitors
may hold high-voltage even after the input power is disconnected. Use it with caution to
prevent the possibility of personal injury.
The cable that connects the drive with the motor must be shorter than 100m if the cable is unshielded and
50m if the cable is shielded while the carrier frequency is below 2.5kHz. For drives below 11kW, this
distance is reduced by half. For longer distances, consult Power Electronics.
TRIAL RUN
Verify all parameters before operating the drive. Alteration of parameters may be required depending on
the application and load.
Always apply voltage and current signals to each terminal that are within levels indicated within this
manual. Otherwise, damage to the drive may result.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
•When the Auto Restart function is enabled, keep clear of driven equipment, as the motor
will restart suddenly after the fault is reset.
•The “STOP / RESET” key on the keypad is only active if the appropriate function setting has
been made. For this reason, install a separate EMERGENCY STOP push button that can
be operated at the equipment.
•If a fault reset is made with the reference signal still present, then a restart will occur. Verify
that it is permissible for this to happen, otherwise an accident could occur.
•Do not modify or alter anything within the drive.
•Before programming or operating the SD500 Series, initialise all parameters back to their
factory default values.
GROUND CONNECTION
•The drive is a high frequency switching device; therefore, leakage current may flow. Ground
the drive to avoid electric shock. Use caution to prevent the possibility of personal injury.
•Connect only to the dedicated ground terminal of the drive. Do not use the case or the
chassis screw for grounding.
•When installing, grounding wire should be connected first and removed last.
•The ground cable must have a minimal cross sectional area that meets local country
electrical regulations.
•Motor ground must be connected to the drive ground terminal and not to the installation’s
ground. We recommend that the section of the ground connection cable should be equal or
higher than the active conductor.
•Installation ground must be connected to the drive ground terminal:

RECEPTION, HANDLING AND
TRANSPORTATION
CAUTION
Read the following installation instructions carefully to install the equipment correctly.
Otherwise, the equipment can be damaged and/or lead to injury.
Reception and Storage
The SD500 has been carefully tested and packed before delivery. In the event of transport damage,
please ensure that you notify the transport agency and Power Electronics: 902 40 20 70 (International
[phone]) or your nearest agent, within 24hrs from receipt of the goods.
Make sure the model and serial number of the drive is the same on the delivery note and unit.
The drive’s storage should be sun and moisture protected and with an ambient temperature between
-40°C and +70°C, < 95 RH without condensation. It is recommended to not pile more than two units on
top of each other.
Handling and Transportation
Only the transport methods described in this document or in the delivery notes are permissible. Any other
transport method or system could damage the unit.
The SD500 is delivered horizontally in a cardboard box. Move the complete box as close as possible to
its final installation place before unpacking to avoid any damage during transportation.
Frames 1 to 4 drives can be transported by a person taking into account their weight. It is not
recommended for persons suffering from back problems to try carrying the drives.
Frames 5 and 6 drive’s discharge must be done by two persons using the side handles in order to avoid
drive’s overturning or dropping the drive. They must be transported with a pallet truck or with a forklift,
keeping in mind the load distribution and centre of gravity. Check the size and weight of the VFD
components to choose proper lifting equipment with a capacity greater than the drive’s weight.
Unpack the drive carefully. To protect the product from damage, do not use edge tools. After opening
