1. SAFETY
ONLY A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN IS ALLOWED TO CARRY
OUT THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION!
This manual contains clearly marked cautions and warnings which are intended for
your personal safety and to avoid any unintentional damage to the product or con-
nected appliances.
Please read the information included in cautions and warnings carefully:
1.1 Warnings
= Dangerous voltage
Risk of death or severe injury
= General warning
Risk of damage to the product or
connected appliances
The components of the power unit of the frequency converter
are live when Vacon 10 is connected to mains. Coming into
contact with this voltage is extremely dangerous and may
cause death or severe injury. The control unit is isolated from
the mains potential.
The motor terminals U, V, W (T1, T2, T3) and the possible brake
resistor terminals -/+ are live when Vacon 10 is connected to
mains, even if the motor is not running.
The control I/O-terminals are isolated from the mains poten-
tial. However, the relay output terminals may have a danger-
ous control voltage present even when Vacon 10 is
disconnected from mains.
The earth leakage current of Vacon 10 frequency converters
exceeds 3.5mA AC. According to standard EN61800-5-1, a
reinforced protective ground connection must be ensured.
If the frequency converter is used as a part of a machine, the
machine manufacturer is responsible for providing the
machine with a main switch (EN 60204-1).
If Vacon 10 is disconnected from mains while running the
motor, it remains live if the motor is energized by the process.
In this case the motor functions as a generator feeding energy
to the frequency converter.

After disconnecting the frequency converter from the mains,
wait until the fan stops and the indicators on the display go
out. Wait 5 more minutes before doing any work on Vacon 10
connections.
The motor can start automatically after a fault situation, if the
autoreset function has been activated

1.2 Safety instructions
1.3 Earthing and earth fault protection
The Vacon 10 frequency converter must always be earthed with an earthing conduc-
tor connected to the earthing terminal. See figure below:
•The earth fault protection inside the frequency converter protects
only the converter itself against earth faults.
•If fault current protective switches are used they must be tested
with the drive with earth fault currents that are possible to arise in
fault situations.
The Vacon 10 frequency converter has been designed for fixed
installations only.
Do not perform any measurements when the frequency con-
verter is connected to the mains.
Do not perform any voltage withstand tests on any part of
Vacon 10. The product safety is fully tested at factory.
Prior to measurements on the motor or the motor cable, dis-
connect the motor cable from the frequency converter.
Do not open the cover of Vacon 10. Static voltage discharge
from your fingers may damage the components. Opening the
cover may also damage the device. If the cover of Vacon 10 is
opened, warranty becomes void.

1.4 Before running the motor
Checklist:
Before starting the motor, check that the motor is mounted
properly and ensure that the machine connected to the motor
allows the motor to be started.
Set the maximum motor speed (frequency) according to the
motor and the machine connected to it.
Before reversing the motor shaft rotation direction make sure
that this can be done safely.
Make sure that no power correction capacitors are connected
to the motor cable.

2.4 Warranty
Only manufacturing defects are covered by the warranty. The manufacturer as-
sumes no responsibility for damages caused during or resulting from transport, re-
ceipt of the delivery, installation, commissioning or use.
The manufacturer shall in no event and under no circumstances be held responsible
for damages and failures resulting from misuse, wrong installation, unacceptable
ambient temperature, dust, corrosive substances or operation outside the rated
specifications. Neither can the manufacturer be held responsible for consequential
damages.
The Manufacturer's time of warranty is 18 months from the delivery or 12 months
from the commissioning whichever expires first (General Conditions NL92/Orgalime
S92).
The local distributor may grant a warranty time different from the above. This war-
ranty time shall be specified in the distributor's sales and warranty terms. Vacon as-
sumes no responsibility for any other warranties than that granted by Vacon itself.
In all matters concerning the warranty, please contact first your distributor.

3.1.2 Cooling
Forced air flow cooling is used in all Vacon 10 drives.
Enough free space shall be left above and below the frequency converter to ensure
sufficient air circulation and cooling. You will find the required dimensions for free
space in the table below:
NOTE! See the mounting dimensions on the back of the drive.
Leave free space for cooling above (100 mm), below (50 mm), and on the sides (10
mm) of Vacon 10! (Side-to-side installation allowed only if the ambient temperature
is below 40°C).
3.1.3 EMC levels
EN61800-3 defines the division of frequency converters into five classes according to
the level of electromagnetic disturbances emitted, the requirements of a power sys-
tem network and the installation environment (see below). The EMC class of each
product is defined in the type designation code.
Category C1: Frequency converters of this class comply with the requirements of
category C1 of the product standard EN 61800-3 (2004). Category C1 ensures the
best EMC characteristics and it includes converters the rated voltage of which is less
than 1000V and which are intended for use in the 1st environment. NOTE: The re-
quirements of class C are fulfilled only as far as the conducted emissions are con-
cerned.
Category C2: Frequency converters of this class comply with the requirements of
category C2 of the product standard EN 61800-3 (2004). Category C2 includes con-
verters in fixed installations and the rated voltage of which is less than 1000V. The
class C2 frequency converters can be used both in the 1st and the 2nd environment.

Category C3: Frequency converters of this class comply with the requirements of
category C3 of the product standard EN 61800-3 (2004). Category C3 includes con-
verters the rated voltage of which is less than 1000V and which are intended for use
in the second environment only.
Category C4: The drives of this class do not provide EMC emission protection. These
kinds of drives are mounted in enclosures.
Category C4 for IT networks: Frequency converters of this class fulfil the product
standard EN 61800-3 (2004) if intended to be used in IT systems. In IT systems, the
networks are isolated from earth, or connected to earth through high impedance to
achieve a low leakage current. NOTE: if converters are used with other supplies, no
EMC requirements are complied with.
Environments in product standard EN 61800-3 (2004)
First environment: Environment that includes domestic premises. It also includes
establishments directly connected without intermediate transformers to a low-volt-
age power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
NOTE: houses, apartments, commercial premises or offices in a residential building
are examples of first environment locations.
Second environment: Environment that includes all establishments other than
those directly connected to a low-voltage power supply network which supplies
buildings used for domestic purposes.
NOTE: industrial areas, technical areas of any building fed from a dedicated trans-
former are examples of second environment locations.
3.1.4 Changing the EMC protection class from C2 or C3 to C4 for IT net-
works
The EMC protection class of Vacon 10 frequency converters can be changed from
class C2 or C3 to class C4 for IT networks by removing the EMC-capacitor discon-
necting screw, see figure below.
Note! Do not attempt to change the EMC level back to class C2 or C3. Even if the pro-
cedure above is reversed, the frequency converter will no longer fulfil the EMC re-
quirements of class C2/C3!

3.2.3 Cable and fuse specifications
Use cables with heat resistance of at least +70 C. The cables and the fuses must be
dimensioned according to the tables below. Installation of cables according to UL
regulations is presented in Chapter 3.2.6.
The fuses function also as cable overload protection.
These instructions apply only to cases with one motor and one cable connection from
the frequency converter to the motor. In any other case, ask the factory for more in-
formation.
