1. Safety and application instructions for VECTOR basic
1.1. General
As long as any electrical equipment and machinery is switched on, the operator may touch voltage
leading and non-isolated conductors or rotating parts as well as hot surfaces.
At removing the covers and the prescribed protections, in handling the machine improperly, or during
service work or improper use, there is the danger of death or severe injuries or material damage.
All works with transport, installation and commissioning as well as maintenance have to be done by
properly trained personnel (regard IEC 364 res. CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC report
664 or DIN VDE 0110 and national accident prevention regulations or VGB 4).
Qualified personnel in terms of these basic security considerations are persons that are used to
installation; assembly, commissioning and operation of the product and that have qualifications
according to their work (defined in IEC 364 or DIN VDE 0105).
1.2. Intended Usage
Frequency inverters are components for installation within machines that are operated in industrial
plants.
The commissioning of the frequency inverter is prohibited until it is ascertained that the machine that
includes the frequency inverters follows the restrictions of the EU directive 2006/42/EG (machine
directive).
The frequency inverters match the protection goals of the low voltage directive 72006/95/EG and the
harmonized norms of the series EN 50178/ DIN VDE 0160 in connection with EN 60439-1/ DIN VDE
0660 part 500 and EN 601146/ DIN VDE 0558.
The operation is only permitted according to the EMC directive (04/108/EG).
The technical data and information to connection conditions are to be found at the rating plate or the
documentation and have to be completely fulfilled.
1.3. Transport and Storage

1.4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the device must be in accordance with the provisions of the relevant
documentation.
The frequency inverters must be protected from excessive strain. They are to handle only in a way, so
that no components are bent and / or isolating distances altered. The contact of
electronic components and terminals must be avoided.
Frequency inverters contain electrostatic sensitive devices. These components can be easily
destroyed by improper handling. Built-in electrical components must not be destroyed (potential health
hazard).
1.5. Electrical connection
At working at current inverters with supplied power regard the valid national accident prevention
regulations (e.g. VGB 4).
The electrical installation has to be done according to the valid directives (e.g. cable diameters, fuse
protection, ground wire connection). More detailed information is to be found in the documentation.
Compliance with the limits for the plant according to the EMC juridical directive is in responsibility of
the manufacturer of the plant. Considerations for the EMC-compatible installation like screening,
grounding, alignment of filters and lying of cables are to be found in the documentation of the
frequency inverters.
1.6. Operation
Plants that contain frequency inverters have to be provided, if applicable, with additional observation
and security installations according to the concerning valid security directives, e.g. act on technical
work equipment, accident prevention regulations etc. The documentation of the manufacturer has to
be regarded.
After disconnection of the frequency inverters from the supply voltage, voltage conducting device parts
and cable conductors must not be immediately touched because of possibly charged condensers.
Please regard the according notification signs at the frequency inverters. During operation all covers
must kept closed.
1.7. Maintenance and servicing
The documentation of the manufacturer has to be regarded.

1.8. Safety and Installation considerations
Frequency inverters from MSF-Technik are operating resources for the deployment in
industrial high-voltage plants and are operated with voltages that may cause heavy injuries
or death when touching!
•Installations and works may only be executed by qualified electrical trained personnel
and at voltage free device. The user manual has to be available at any time and has
to be consequently regarded.
•The local directives for building electrical plants and accident prevention regulations
must be fulfilled.
The device is up to 5 minutes after disconnecting from the voltage conducted with
dangerous voltage. Due to this, opening of the device or removing the cover res. the
I/O module and the display device is only permitted 5 minutes after disconnecting the
device from voltage. Before turning the mains voltage on all covers must be mounted
again.
•Also at motor standstill (e.g. due to electronics lock, short circuit at the output clamps
or blocked drive) the voltage circuit clamps, motor clamps and clamps for the brake
resistance may conduct dangerous voltage. A motor standstill is not identical with
a galvanic disconnection from the mains voltage.
•Attention: The inverter may, depending on the settings, start automatically after
powering the mains voltage.
Attention! Danger to Life!
The power supply conducts voltage under certain circumstances for up to 5 minutes after
turning off the mains voltage. Inverter clamps, drive cables and drive clamps may conduct
voltage!
Touching open or free clamps, cables and device parts may cause heavy injuries or death!
Attention
•Children and the public must not have access to the device!
•The device may only be used for the purpose intended by the manufacturer.
Unauthorized changes and the use of replacement parts and additional devices that
are not sold or approved by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shocks and
injuries.
•Keep the manual in reach and make it available for every user!
European EMC directive
If the vector field power is installed according to the recommendations of this manual it fulfills
the requirements of the EMC directive according to the EMC product norm for motor driven
systems EN 61800-3

2.1. Installation
The devices require adequate ventilation.
The hot air has to be dissipated above the inverter!
2.2. Cabling directives of superior controls
The frequency inverters are developed for the operation in industrial environments where high values
of electromagnetic interferences are expected. In general, a professional installation ensures a riskless
and error-free operation. If limits are required that exceed the EMC directive limits, the following
directives are recommended.
1. Please make sure that all devices in the control cabinet are connected together at a shared
grounding point or rail with short cores and great diameter are properly grounded. It is
especially important that every control device connected to the inverters (e.g. automation
devices) are connected via a short core with high diameter at the same grounding point like
the inverter.
2. The PE conductor of the drive controlled by the inverter should preferably directly connected
to the ground connection connected with the heat sink together with the PE of the power
supply of the concerning inverter. The existence of a central grounding rail within the control
cabinet and the connection of all ground cables to this rail normally guarantees an error-free
operation.
3. As far as possible you should use screened cables for the control. The cable ends have to be
terminated carefully and it must be taken care that the cores are not unscreened over long
distances. The screen of analog set point cables should only be grounded at the frequency
inverter single-sided. Not used cores of the control cores should be grounded.
4. The control cores have to be laid in the most possible distance from the load cores using
separated cable trenches etc. Cable crosses should possibly get an angle of 90°.
5. Make sure that contactors and relays in the control cabinets are suppressed either by RC
connection or varistors in case of AC contactors or by „ free wheeling diodes“ at DC
contactors, wherein the interference suppression bust be attached to the coils. The
suppression is especially important if the contactors are controlled by the relay in the
frequency inverter (optional).
6. Use screened cores for the load connections and ground the screening at both ends, if
possible directly at the PE output of the inverter.
7. If the drive should run within an environment sensible to electro-magnetic
interference, the usage of interference filters is recommended to reduce the grid-
bound and radiated interferences of the inverter. In this case install the filter as near
as possible to the inverter and take care for grounding.
8. Choose the lowest possible toggle frequency. This minimizes the intensity of the
electro-magnetic interference created by the frequency inverter.
At installation of the inverters you must not disregard safety directives!

2.3. Measures to secure the EMCV in machinery and plants
The following measures are to secure the EMC, which are of absolute necessity to the inverter
technology. The inverter fulfils the demands of the high noise immunity and the slight-noise emissions
for the usage in industries, under the guidelines of this manuals installation consideration.
2.4 Grounding, earthen, potential compensation
The correct professional grounding or earthen guarantees the protection of the staff against
dangerous touch voltages (input, output and intermediate circuit voltage) and through parasitic current
inductance and low-impedance potential compensation an important measure to reduce
electromagnetic influences.
2.5. Filtering
Filters are inserted into the lead-bound transfer way between the source of interference and the
interference suppressor, which is to reduce lead-bound transmissions and to increase the noise
immunity. Additional, external filter may have a negative effect on the noise emission!
2.6. Screening signal- and control cables
Screening is used for decoupling fields between two spatially separate areas, i.e. is also used to
decrease the emission of electromagnetic radiation and to increase the noise immunity. The consistent
use of metal cases is one of the most important standard measures to safeguard the EMC.
2.7. Coupling into motor cables
The use of twisted core cables can essentially reduce inductive couplings into a circuit. Cable screens
must reduce capacitive, inductive and electromagnetic interferences. It is important to note that to
reduce low frequency capacitive interference, it is often sufficient to place a one sided screening,
whereas inductive and high frequency electromagnetic interference can only be prevented by
screening both sides of the cable.
The screening must not be used as a protection earthen!!!

6.0 Explanation of parameters
In the menu of the VECTOR Basic a variety of settings can be carried out.
Pushed by simultaneously holding the Up and Down keys the parameter menu is reached,
to make individual adjustments. In the menu itself, there are 17 selections, which are described in the
following. Once an adjustment has been made, it can be confirmed and stored by holding down the
button Up and Down (7-segment display will flash briefly). While the user stays in the parameter
assignment or in the password input, the display flashes with about 7.5Hz. A better overview is given.
6.0 Menu point 00 – Display Software Version
( Read only)
This menu point displays the software version. Number 10 corresponds to software
version 1.2. This software version can only be read and not changed.
6.1. Menu point 01 – Running up ramp right (cw)
(Range from 1 to 99 in Hz/s)
From the set ramp results, in relation to the set maximum field frequency, the acceleration time. A
ramp describes the field frequency change per unit. A ´steep’ ramp is equivalent to a short running-up
time. A’ flat’ ramp is equivalent to a long running-up time.
The set running-up times must always be application-specific, taking into account the physical realities
resulting there from. Especially short running-up times can influence the motor stability or cause a
switch-off of the inverter due to an excess current. A sensible feeling is also required in the selection of
sufficiently long running-up times for large centrifugal masses

14 / 25
6.2. Menu point 02 – Running down ramp right (cw)
(Range from 1 to 99 in Hz/s)
Essentially, the explanations given in the section “Running-up times” also apply here.
When inappropriate short running-down ramps are selected (especially with large centrifugal
masses) over voltages in the intermediate circuit can cause a switch-off of the inverter. Since in this
state of operation, the rotating field frequency applied to the motor is slightly less than the frequency of
the motor shaft, energy will be fed back (generator operation) resulting in an inadmissible increase of
the intermediate circuit voltage in the inverter and switches off.
6.3. Menu point 03 – Running up ramp left (ccw)
(Range from 1 to 99 in Hz/s)
Description, see menupoint 01.
6.4. Menu point 04 – Running down ramp left (ccw)
(Range from 1 to 99 Hz / s)
Description, see menu point 02
6.5. Menu point 05 – Static Boost
(Range from 0 to 30 in %)
Deviating from the linear V/f characteristics, this voltage increase is specified in percent of the nominal
voltage to increase the starting torque at low rotating field frequencies.
With low rotations, the copper resistance of the stator winding strongly influences the operating
characteristics of the motor. Without a voltage correction, the breakdown torque is significantly
reduced towards low rotating field frequencies. During slow starts, it could happen that the motor does
not start due a too high breakaway torque to be obtained. By using a voltage increase - the so-called
BOOST - the starting torque is increased. The amount of the BOOST is specified in percentage of the
nominal voltage at 0 Hz. Starting at this value, the voltage is continually raised with an increasing
frequency and thus approaches the normal (linear) V/f characteristic: V/f = const. A constantly
available voltage increase is called ´static BOOST´. The range of the voltage increase extends to
about a frequency of up to of 2/3 of the kink frequency. To prevent a torque jump during the transition
of the BOOST to the V/f=constant characteristics, all characteristics of the static BOOST end at the V/f
characteristic. Good starting torques is achieved with a BOOST setting of 8%. Exaggerated high
values results in an increased motor temperature, which may destroy in the destruction of the motor
by, overheat, particularly if no separate fan is used. a high BOOST value can also cause an excessive
currant, which will likewise switch the inverter off.

6.6. Menu point 06 – Setpoint
The VECTOR offers four basic options for setpoint, which can be set in this menu point. The set point
input via the buttons located on the device "Up" and "Down" is standard preset in the factory settings
and can be saved with 00 in menu point 06. Under 01 the setpoint input via the analog input is
activated. Here, for example, a potentiometer may be connected. By saving a 02 you reach a target
value via a pre-fixed frequency. This fixed frequency can be changed under Menu point 10 + 11.
6.7. Menu point 07 – Display representation
Under this menu item the nominal value can be displayed with 00 or the actual value with 01 in
operation.
6.8. Menu point 08 – Maximum field frequency
(Range from1 to 99 in Hz)
Previously adjusted maximum field frequency, which the inverter should not exceed, even at maximum
set point.
6.9. Menu point 09 – Nominal motor frequency
(Range from 30 to 99 in Hz)

output relay when a certain frequency output is reached. This frequency can be adjusted in this menu.
6.15. Menu point 15 – Over current
(Range from 0,4 to 2,5A in 0,1A steps)
This menu point allows you to switch off the motor during a permanent over current. This means the
value on the 7-segment display shows the current in A (example: xx => x, x A). If the current is
continuously (approx. 75 sec) greater than the set value, then it is switched off. This shutdown can
only work reliable for motors between 0.12 kW and 0.37 kW. The setting 26 (equivalent to 2.6 A)
disables the over current shutdown
6.16. Menu point 16 – Adjustment for analog set point
This menu point provides for an adjustment for the analog set point. If required, e.g. an external
potentiometer to set to the maximum value and select menu item point 16 and hold down buttons Up /
Down together until the display flashes briefly.

6.17. Menu point 17 – ON7Off – activate/deactivate
For operating the inverter, the final stage of the inverter must be released.
This is done by pressing the ON/OFF – button.
In the absence of the mains voltage an uncontrolled running of the inverter is thereby avoided.
If this feature is not desired, the buttons can be deactivated under this menu point.
Selection 00 = ON/OFF – button is deactivated
Selection 01 = ON/OFF – button is activated (factory default)
6.18 Menu point 18 – Minimum frequency for analog set point
(From 0 to Fmax in Hz)
Under the menu point 06 the set point can be adjusted. If an analog set point input is desired, then the
set factory minimum output frequency (5Hz) can be changed here.
6.19 Menu point 19 – Turning the periphery
The rotation of the periphery results in a 180°rot ation of the 7-segment-display and also the two Up
and Down-pushbuttons are reversed. This makes it possible to intuitively operate the peripherals on its
head.
Selection 00 = Screen display normal
Selection 01 = Display rotated by 180°and reverse buttons
6.20 Menu point 20 – Password lock
When selecting the menu item 20, the menu will be exit with a password lock. Due to this barrier, the
Up and Down buttons are deactivated and can only be unlocked by entering the password (number
43). Both pushbuttons have to be pressed (like for the menu entry) to enable entering a password.
6.21. Menu point 21 – Exit the menu
This selection will exit the menu

7. In- and Outputs
Terminals 3 and 4 are digital inputs and are assigned for the following functions:
Terminal 3: Start / Stop
Terminal 4: Left / Right cw/ccw
7.1. Start/Stop
The activation leads to the release of the pulses. After additionally the inverter has been enabled
(buttons "ON / OFF") than this function performs the acceleration of the motor with the set-up time until
reaching the set point with the said rotation.
The inactivation effects the running down with the set running down ramp down to the standstill.
7.2. Clockwise/Counter clockwise
In unconnected state the motor is always running right. When activating this function the motor is
running counter clockwise. When changing from clockwise to counter clockwise rotation during
operation, the motor moves in the current direction of the running down ramp to 0 Hz and accelerates
after at the acceleration ramp in the opposite direction of rotation.
8. Motor protection
Despite a high-grade sine modulation, additional losses occur in the motor in powering standard 3-
phase asynchronous motors. Even at nominal revolutions, these losses require a power reduction the
extent on which essentially depends on the exploitation of the temperature limits of the motor.
For drives of a square counter-torque (e.g. fans) and 50 Hz as maximum rotating field frequency, the
imposed power reduction is usually around 0 - 10%.
For drives of a constant counter-torque (compressors, conveyer belts, etc.), the power reduction has
to be selected accordingly larger, depending on the range of the adjustment.
To guarantee the safe operation of a motor in the adjustment range, the stationary load torque must lie
below the continuous operating characteristic of the motor to guarantee a safe operation of a motor.
During operation and starting, the drive will momentarily be in a position to submit or corresponding to
the current limitation of the inverter. The setting of the voltage increase (static Boost) essentially
determines the maximum torque below 10 Hz. During a continuous operation, an excessive high boost
setting for the lower rotating field frequency range (up to 15 Hz) can cause the motor to overheat
A comprehensive thermal protection of the self-cooling motor can be achieved by means of a
temperature sensor (e.g. PTC thermistor or thermal time-delay switch) built into the motor.
For revolutions above 120% of the nominal speed, the performance of the motor has to be checked.
