5. Setup and Installation
5.1. Mounting
- Mount the VFD vertically on a non-flammable surface, ensuring adequate clearance for ventilation above and below the unit.
- Avoid mounting in areas with excessive dust, moisture, or direct heat sources.
5.2. Wiring
All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
Figure 5.1: Internal view of the VFD showing the terminal block layout for power and control connections.
- Power Input (R, S, T): Connect the three-phase AC power supply to the R, S, and T terminals. Ensure the voltage matches the VFD's rating (e.g., 220V or 380V).
- Motor Output (U, V, W): Connect the three-phase motor leads to the U, V, and W terminals.
- Grounding (PE): Connect the protective earth (ground) wire from the power supply and the motor frame to the PE terminal on the VFD. This is critical for safety.
- Control Wiring (RS485, Analog/Digital Inputs): Refer to the detailed wiring diagram in the full product manual for connecting RS485 communication (A, B terminals), analog input signals (e.g., 0-10V, 4-20mA for speed reference), and digital input signals (e.g., run/stop commands, multi-speed selection).
5.3. Initial Power-Up
- Before applying power, double-check all wiring connections for correctness and tightness.
- Ensure no foreign objects are inside the VFD.

8. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions for common issues. For complex problems or issues not listed here, contact technical support.
| Problem/Fault Code | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor does not run | No RUN command; incorrect frequency setting; motor wiring error; VFD in fault state. | Check RUN command source (panel/external); verify frequency setting; inspect motor wiring; check for fault codes and reset. |
| OV (Overvoltage) | Input voltage too high; motor regeneration during deceleration too fast. | Check input voltage; increase deceleration time; consider adding a braking resistor if regeneration is severe. |
| OC (Overcurrent) | Motor overload; short circuit in motor wiring; acceleration time too short. | Reduce motor load; check motor and wiring for shorts; increase acceleration time; verify motor parameters. |
| UV (Undervoltage) | Input voltage too low or unstable. | Check input power supply voltage and stability. |
| OH (Overheat) | Ambient temperature too high; VFD cooling fan blocked or faulty; VFD overloaded. | Improve ventilation; clean VFD fins; check/replace fan; reduce load. |
To reset a fault, press the STOP/RST button after resolving the cause of the fault.
