Converter series FVC
The onverter FVC series are stati AC/AC three-phase devi es with double
onversion and IGBT te hnology under mi ropro essor ontrol. They supply the load
with variable voltage and frequen y at the set value regardless of impedan e value
and mains flu tuations.
The information about voltage and urrent supplied is shown by means of 7
segments displays.
They an be ontrolled by external signals.
They are equipped with RS485 serial interfa e.
They an have two output s ales so to supply the maximum power at two different
full-s ales.

1.4 Identification la el
Ea h equipment is identified by the following label.
We invite you to onsider the data shown in it as indispensable for the produ t
tra eability, and to ommuni ate them for eventual request for support.

2. Preliminary operations
2.1 Working environment
The onverter is designed for indoor use.
+ 5 °C ° + 40 °C
Pla e the devi e on a suitable support or on a plane surfa e for good
stability. Be sure that proper ventilation is allowed and no obje ts obstru t
the ventilation openings.
2.2 Precautions
Operate the equipment at its rated mains voltage, on earthed outlet only.
Fasten suitable ables or bars of adequate se tion on the output bolts,
al ulated on the bases of the equipment fun tional hara teristi s.
WARNING: Power onne tions an generate high temperature spots, that
ould ause burnings.
WARNING: All standard onverters are delivered with output FLOATING,
not onne ted to any potential (unless otherwise spe ified); at the moment
of installation MUST BE CONNECTED TO GND OR TO ANY OTHER
POTENTIAL. Maximum allowed voltage on the output bolts, when not
onne ted to earth, is 300VAC.

2.3 Equipment operation
Conne t the equipment to the power mains, it is recommended to follow the
instructions given on the equipment (or in the attached sheet) regarding voltage,
frequency and earth connection, then turn on the power swit h, whi h ould be lo ated
on the ba k panel or by the abinet side depending on the type of equipment.
In some models the power-on ommand an be part of an external power supply frame.
In some ases the integrated onsole, keyboard/display, an be onne ted to the abinet
by means of an external able.
At system power-on a self-diagnosti routine tests the most important equipment
fun tionalities and dete ts eventual faults.
In ase of failures or malfun tions, we must be informed in advan e before sending the
equipment to our laboratories.
