3.2 Wiring
All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes. Use appropriate wire gauges for the VFD's power rating. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
- Power Input (L, N, G): Connect the single-phase 220V AC power supply to the designated input terminals. Ensure proper grounding.
- Motor Output (U, V, W): Connect the three-phase 220V AC motor to the output terminals.
- Control Terminals: Connect external control signals (e.g., start/stop, speed reference, fault reset) to the control terminals as required by your application. Refer to the detailed wiring diagram in the full product manual for specific terminal assignments.

4.1 Control Panel Functions:
- LED Display: Shows operating status, frequency, current, voltage, and error codes.
- Rotary Knob: Used for adjusting frequency/speed and navigating parameters.
- PRG/SET Button: Enters/exits parameter setting mode and confirms selections.
- JOG/ESC Button: Initiates jog operation (momentary run) and cancels current operation or exits a menu.
- Up/Down Arrows: Used to navigate through parameters or adjust values.
- RUN Button: Starts the motor.
- STOP/RES Button: Stops the motor and resets fault conditions.
4.2 Basic Operation:
- Start: Press the RUN button to start the motor.
- Stop: Press the STOP/RES button to stop the motor.
- Speed Adjustment: Rotate the rotary knob to adjust the output frequency and motor speed.
- Parameter Setting: Press PRG/SET to enter parameter mode. Use arrow keys to navigate and the rotary knob or arrow keys to change values. Press PRG/SET again to save and exit.
For detailed parameter settings and advanced functions, refer to the comprehensive programming guide provided with the full product documentation.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your VFD.
- Power Disconnection: Always disconnect power and wait at least 10 minutes before performing any maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the VFD's exterior and ventilation openings to prevent dust accumulation, which can hinder cooling. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect wiring connections for tightness and signs of damage or corrosion. Check for any unusual noises or odors during operation.
- Fan Check: Ensure the cooling fan operates freely and is not obstructed.
6. Troubleshooting
If the VFD encounters an issue, the LED display may show an error code. Refer to the full product manual for a complete list of error codes and their solutions. Below are some common issues and general troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| VFD does not power on | No input power; incorrect wiring; internal fuse blown. | Check power supply; verify input wiring; consult qualified technician for fuse replacement. |
| Motor does not run | Incorrect motor wiring; VFD in fault state; control signal issue. | Verify motor wiring (U, V, W); check VFD display for error codes and reset; ensure RUN command is active. |
| Overcurrent fault | Motor overload; short circuit in motor or wiring; acceleration time too short. | Reduce motor load; check motor and wiring for shorts; increase acceleration time parameter. |
| Overvoltage fault | Input voltage too high; deceleration time too short; regenerative load. | Verify input voltage; increase deceleration time parameter; consider adding a braking resistor if applicable. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact technical support.
