VG5 Installation & Quick-Start Manual 3
PRECAUTIONS
1) Read this manual in its entirety before installing or operating the VG5 inverter.
2) Do not connect or disconnect wiring, or perform signal checks while the power supply is turned
ON.
3) The VG5 internal capacitor is still charged even after the power supply is turned OFF. To
prevent electrical shock, disconnect all power before servicing the inverter. Then wait at least one
minute after the power supply is disconnected and all LED’s are extinguished.
4) Do not perform a withstand voltage test or a megger test on any part of the VG5. This elec-
tronic equipment uses semiconductors and is vulnerable to high voltage.
5) Do not remove the operator unless the power supply is turned OFF. Never touch the printed con-
trol board while the power supply is turned ON.
6) The VG5 is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 65,000 RMS
symmetrical amperes, 600 Volts maximum (575V class units), 480 Volts maximum (460V class
units), and 240 Volts maximum (230V class units).
Failure to observe these and other precautions highlighted in this manual will expose the user to high
voltages, resulting in equipment damage, serious injury or death.

VG5 Installation & Quick-Start Manual 7
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The VG5, a series of high quality, general-purpose inverters with flux vector control, directly
controls the current (or torque) in an AC induction motor. With an initial power range of 0.5 to 500
HP, it is suited for any application, and provides smooth start-up at low speeds, and extremely precise
operation. It’s proprietary auto-tuning function enables high-performance tuning of motors manufac-
tured worldwide.
The VG5 combines four control methods into one compact drive, including flux vector and con-
ventional V/f control. From precision machinery to multiple motor drives, the VG5 proves to be
the Ultimate drive for any application. This functionality includes proprietary features like
Adaptive Vector Control (AVC™), full-range automatic torque boost, auto-tuning, UL-recognized
electronic thermal motor overload, energy savings operation, PID control, low-noise operation and
various other features. It also features a 2-line × 16-character, alphanumeric digital operator for simple
programming in seven different languages. Utilizing the latest microprocessor technology, members of
the design team have collaborated to make the VG5 the Ultimate drive for any application.
This manual details installation, quick-start and diagnostic procedures for the VG5 series adjust-
able frequency drive controller. For more detailed descriptions of programming procedures, contact
your Saftronics representative.

1.2 SOFTWARE VERSION EXPLANATION
Saftronics recognizes the need to continuously improve product quality. This product may receive fea-
ture enhancements in the form of software or hardware changes. New programming parameters will be
added to the latest programming manual. When a new parameter is added a software version note will
be placed next to the parameter.
Software Version Example:
For Parameter A1-00, select the language displayed on the digital operator according to the following
table:
*This version note <1110> indicates that five additional languages
have been added with software version 1110.
The part number of the main control printed circuit board on the drive reflects the software version.
The software version normally increases to a higher number with newer versions. Please consult the
factory for details.
PCB Part Number Example: ETC615991-S1110 represents software version 1110.
The VG5 ships preset to open loop vector control, quick-start access level.
