Make sure that the inverter inputAC voltage level is consistent with AC
grid voltage before connecting with Input “R”, “S” and “T” terminals
If Grid is single-phase power supply, you can connect to any two
terminals of “R”, “S” and “T”.

3、Trial run(How to use and start solar pump inverter)
Step 1: Keyboard control: Set motor parameter P11.02- P11.05 as per motor pump
name plate. If dry run protection is required, measure the unload protection current
according to the following method. If dry run protection is not required then move to step 2
Notice: Unload detection current self-learning: disable the PV pump function
(P47.00=0), run to 30~40Hz, when the output frequency is stable, enter P24.13, press
the keyboard and simultaneously for more than 2 seconds, then P24.13
value will change automatically. During this process, the pump no need to take out
from water
Step 2: Set the MPPT start voltage (P47.04). This value is generally set to about 80% of
the open circuit voltage of solar panel. This value can help the drive track the maximum
power point faster if set accurately (Notice: you can also miss this step but if you do
this setting it will be faster for automatic Mppt tracking)
Step 3: Set some other related special solar pump parameters for optimization as per
parameter list
Step 4: After finishing trial run, If pump still does not work when inverter is running at
more than 40 Hz, Please disconnect the power supply and replace any two-phase wiring of
the pump motor.
4、Keypad display
4.1 Monitoring display
According to the running status of the inverter, the digital tube displays different
contents in turn. If the button has no operation, the next monitoring amount is
automatically displayed every few seconds; of course, you can also switch to the
next monitoring indicator
When the inverter is in the stop state, the digital tube is cyclically scrolling to
display：
“00000”DC bus voltage（r27.03）given frequency（r27.01）Distance
remaining time（r47.02）“00000”
When the inverter is in running state, the digital tube is cyclically scrolling to
display.：
“00000”DC bus voltage（r27.03）output frequency（r27.00）output current
（r27.06）output power（r16.02）“00000”
When the inverter is in a fault state, the digital tube is cyclically scrolling to
display.：

Fault code (r25.00) DC bus voltage at fault (r25.03) Output frequency at
fault (r25.01) Output current at fault (r25.02) Output power at fault (r25. 16)
fault code
4.2 Menu mode
After the inverter is power on, the keyboard menu mode is user-defined mode. Most
of users only need to pay attention to the parameters displayed in this mode. To check
the complete inverter parameters, press the and keys while the keyboard is
displayed . When the keyboard is displayed , press the key
to enter the basic menu mode.

Chapter 6 Fault Diagnosis and Solution
VFD500-PV solar pump inverter has 24 types of warning information and protection function. In case of
abnormal fault,the protection function will be invoked, the inverter will stop output, and the faulty relay
contact of the inverter will start, and the fault code will be displayed on the display panel of the inverter.
Before consulting the service department, the user can perform self-check according to the prompts of this
chapter, analyze the fault cause and find out solution. If the fault is caused by the reasons as
described in the dotted frame, please consult the agents of inverter or factory directly.

running
Er.FbL
1、PID feedback<P40.35 setting value
and P40.36 not zero,PID
feedback>P40.37 setting value and
P40.38 not zero
1、check PID feedback signal
2、P40.35 and P40.37 set correct
parameter
User-defined
fault 1
Er.Ud1
1: The signal of user-defined fault 1 is
input via DI.
2:The signal of user-defined fault 1 is
input via virtual I/O.
1: Reset the operation.
2: Reset the operation
User-defined
fault 2
Er.Ud2
1: The signal of user-defined fault 2 is
input via DI.
2:The signal of user-defined fault 2 is
input via virtual I/O.
1: Reset the operation.
2: Reset the operation
By wave
current
limitingfault
Er.CbC
1: The load is too heavy or locked-
rotor occurs on the motor.
2: The frequency inverter model is of
too small power class
1: Reduce the load and check
the motor and mechanical
condition.
2: Select a frequency inverter of
higher power class.
Too large
speed
deviation
Er.DEV
1: The encoder parameters are set
incorrectly.
2: The motor auto-tuning is not performed.
3: The detection parameters of too large
speed deviation are set incorrectly.
1: Set the encoder parameters
properly.
2: Perform the motor auto-tuning.
3: Set the detection parameters
correctly based on the actual
situation.
Motor
over-speed
Er. oS
1: The encoder parameters are set
incorrectly.
2: The motor auto-tuning is not performed.
3: The over-speed detection parameters
are set incorrectly
1: Set the encoder parameters
properly.
2: Perform the motor auto-tuning.
3: Set the over-speed detection
parameter correctly based on the
actual situation.
Encoder offline
Er.PGL
1. motor locked
2. encoder pulse setting wrong
3. encoder offline
1 check motor and mechanical
condition
2 set correct parameter for encoder
3 check encoder connecting line
