1. SAFETY
1.1 Warnings
1The components of the power unit of the frequency converter are live
when Vacon NXL is connected to mains potential. 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.
2The motor terminals U, V, W (T1, T2, T3) and the DC-link/brake resistor
terminals –/+ (in Vacon NXL ≥1.1 kW) are live when Vacon NXL is
connected to mains, even if the motor is not running.
3The control I/O-terminals are isolated from the mains potential. However,
the relay outputs and other I/O-terminals may have a dangerous control
voltage present even when Vacon NXL is disconnected from mains.
4The frequency converter has a large capacitive leakage current.
5If 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).
6Only spare parts delivered by Vacon can be used.
7The heat sink of types MF2 and MF3 may be hot when the frequency
converter is in use. Coming into contact with the heat sink may
cause burns.
1.2 Safety instructions
1The Vacon NXL frequency converter is meant for fixed installations only.
2Do not perform any measurements when the frequency converter is
connected to the mains.
3After 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 NXL connections.
4Do not perform any voltage withstand tests on any part of Vacon NXL.
There is a certain procedure according to which the tests shall be
performed. Ignoring this procedure may result in damaged product.
5Prior to measurements on the motor or the motor cable, disconnect the
motor cable from the frequency converter.
6Do not touch the IC-circuits on the circuit boards. Static voltage discharge

1.3 Earthing and earth fault protection
The Vacon NXL frequency converter must always be earthed with an earthing conductor connected
to the earthing terminal .
The earth fault protection inside the frequency converter protects only the converter itself against
earth faults in the motor or the motor cable.
Due to the high capacitive currents present in the frequency converter, fault current protective
switches may not function properly. 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.
1.4 Running the motor
Warning symbols
For your own safety, please pay special attention to the instructions marked with the following
symbols:

2. EU DIRECTIVE
2.1 CE marking
The CE marking on the product guarantees the free movement of the product within the EEA
(European Economic Area). It also guarantees that the product meets the various requirements
placed upon it (such as the EMC Directive and possibly other directives according to the so-called
new procedure).
Vacon NXL frequency converters carry the CE label as a proof of compliance with the Low Voltage
Directive (LVD) and the Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC). The company SGS FIMKO has acted
as the Competent Body.
2.2 EMC directive
2.2.1 General
The EMC Directive provides that the electrical apparatus must not excessively disturb the
environment they are used in, and, on the other hand, it shall have an adequate level of immunity
toward other disturbances from the same environment.
The compliance of Vacon NXL frequency converters with the EMC directive is verified with Technical
Construction Files (TCF) checked and approved by SGS FIMKO, which is a Competent Body. The
Technical Construction Files are used to authenticate the comformity of Vacon frequency converters
with the Directive because such a large-sized product family is impossible to be tested in a
laboratory environment and because the combinations of installation vary greatly.
2.2.2 Technical criteria
EMC compliance is a major consideration for Vacon NXL drives from the outset of the design.
Vacon NXL frequency converters are marketed throughout the world, a fact which makes the EMC
requirements of customers different. As far as the immunity is concerned, all Vacon NXL frequency
converters are designed to fulfil even the strictest requirements, while as regards the emission level,
the customer may want to upgrade Vacon's already high ability to filter electro-magnetic
disturbances.
2.2.3 Vacon frequency converter EMC classification
Vacon NXL frequency converters are divided into two classes according to the level of
electromagnetic disturbances emitted. There is no difference in the functions or the control
electronics between these classes but their EMC properties vary as follows:

vacon Receipt of delivery 9(80)
Vacon Oyj Telephone: [phone] Fax: [phone]
24-hour support: [phone] Email: [e-mail] 2
Class N:
No EMC emission protection. Vacon NXL frames MF2 and MF3 are delivered from the factory
without an external RFI filter as class N products.
Class H:
With an external RFI filter (option) installed Vacon NXL frequency converters MF2 and MF3 fulfil
the requirements of the product standard EN 61800-3 + A11 for the 1st
environment restricted distribution and the 2nd environment.
The emission levels correspond to the requirements of EN 61000-6-4.
All Vacon NX frequency converters fulfil all EMC immunity requirements
(standards EN 61000-6-1, 61000-6-2 and EN 61800-3).

4. TECHNICAL DATA
4.1 Introduction
Vacon NXL is a compact, small-sized frequency converter with the output ranging from 220 W to
30 kW. It is well adapted for HVAC and OEM applications where its possibilities of use are almost
unlimited.
The Motor and Application Control Block is based on microprocessor software. The microprocessor
controls the motor basing on the information it receives through measurements, parameter settings,
control I/O and control keypad. The motor and application control block controls the motor control
microprocessor which, in turn, calculates the IGBT positions. Gate drivers amplify these signals for
driving the IGBT inverter bridge.
The control keypad constitutes a link between the user and the frequency converter. The control
keypad is used for parameter setting, reading status data and giving control commands. Instead of
the control keypad, also a PC can be used to control the frequency converter if connected through a
cable and a serial interface adapter (optional equipment).
You can have your Vacon NXL drive equipped with control I/O boards NXOPTAA, NXOPTB_ or
NXOPTC_.
All other sizes but MF2 have an internal brake chopper. For closer information, contact the
Manufacturer or your local distributor (see back cover). The input EMC filters are available as
options externally for MF2 and MF3. In other sizes the filters are internal and included as standard.
The NXL frequency converters are professional drives intended to be connected to industrial
networks. They should not be connected to public low- voltage distribution systems. This is a product
of the restricted sales distribution class according to IEC 61800-3. In a domestic environment this
product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate
measures.
Sizes MF4 –MF6:
The three-phase AC-choke at the mains end together with the DC-link capacitor form an LC-filter,
which, again, together with the diode bridge produce the DC-voltage supply to the IGBT Inverter
Bridge block. The AC-choke also functions as a filter against High Frequency disturbances from the
mains as well as against those caused by the frequency converter to the mains. It, in addition,
enhances the waveform of the input current to the frequency converter. The entire power drawn by
the frequency converter from the mains is active power.
The IGBT Inverter Bridge produces a symmetrical, 3-phase PWM-modulated AC-voltage to the
motor.

5. INSTALLATION
5.1 Mounting
The NXL drive can be mounted on the wall or on the back plane of a cubicle. There are two
possible positions in the wall mounting for the frames MF2 and MF3 (see Figure 5-1)
The NXL type MF2 is mounted with two screws using the middle holes of the mounting plates. If an
RFI filter is used, the upper mounting plate shall be attached with two screws. MF3 and bigger types
are always mounted with four screws, see Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3.
Enough space shall be reserved above and underneath the frequency converter in order to ensure a
sufficient cooling, see Figure 5-7, and Table 5-4. Also see to that the mounting plane is relatively
even.
Below you will find the dimensions of Vacon NXL frequency converters with IP20 and IP21
enclosures on pages 20 -- 22.
