General Information
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or
incorrect installation or adjustment of the optional operating parameters of the equipment or from
mismatching the variable speed drive with the motor.
The contents of this guide are believed to be correct at the time of printing. In the interests of a commitment
to a policy of continuous development and improvement, the manufacturer reserves the right to change the
specification of the product or its performance, or the contents of the guide, without notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means,
electrical or mechanical including photocopying, recording or by an information storage or retrieval system,
without permission in writing from the publisher.
Drive software version
This product is supplied with the latest software version. If this drive is to be connected to an existing system
or machine, all drive software versions should be verified to confirm the same functionality as drives of the
same model already present. This may also apply to drives returned from a Control Techniques Service
Centre or Repair Centre. If there is any doubt please contact the supplier of the product.
The software version of the drive can be checked by looking at Pr 11.29 and Pr 11.34.
This takes the form of xx.yy.zz where Pr 11.29 displays xx.yy and Pr 11.34 displays zz. (e.g. for software
version 01.01.00, Pr 11.29 = 1.01 and Pr 11.34 displays 0).
Environmental statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations
and of its products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management
System (EMS) which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS,
our Environmental Policy and other relevant information is available on request, or can be found at
www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save energy
and (through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap throughout
their long working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far outweigh the
negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded but
should instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the products
easy to dismantle into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can
be separated without the use of tools, whilst other parts are secured with conventional fasteners. Virtually all
parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates, while
smaller products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre content. If
not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags for wrapping
product, can be recycled in the same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy prefers easily-recyclable
materials of low environmental impact, and regular reviews identify opportunities for improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and best
practice.
REACH legislation
EC Regulation 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals
(REACH) requires the supplier of an article to inform the recipient if it contains more than a specified
proportion of any substance which is considered by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to be a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and is therefore listed by them as a candidate for compulsory
authorization.
For current information on how this requirement applies in relation to specific Control Techniques products,
please approach your usual contact in the first instance. Control Techniques position statement can be

A Warning contains information, which is essential for avoiding a safety hazard.

WARNING

CAUTION

NOTE

A Note contains information, which helps to ensure correct operation of the product.

Electrical Safety - general warning

Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this guide.

1.3

System design and safety of personnel

The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into complete
equipment or system. If installed incorrectly, the drive may present a safety hazard.

System design, installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out by

personnel who have the necessary training and experience. They must read this safety
information and this guide carefully.

1.4

Options

Careful consideration must be given to the function of the drive which might result in a
hazard, either through its intended behavior or through incorrect operation due to a
fault. In any application where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead
to or allow damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where
necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk - for example, an over-speed
protection device in case of failure of the speed control, or a fail-safe mechanical brake
in case of loss of motor braking.

Diagnostics

The drive is not intended to be used for safety-related functions.

Quick start
commissioning

The STOP and START controls or electrical inputs of the drive must not be relied
upon to ensure safety of personnel. They do not isolate dangerous voltages from
the output of the drive or from any external option unit. The supply must be
disconnected by an approved electrical isolation device before gaining access to
the electrical connections.

Parameters

The drive uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored electrical
energy, and is used to control equipment which can cause injury.

Keypad and display

The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns, and
could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to
the drive.

UL listing
information

Instructions within the supplied data and information within the Commander SK
Technical Data Guide regarding transport, storage, installation and the use of the drive
must be complied with, including the specified environmental limits. Drives must not be
subjected to excessive physical force.

1.5

Access
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply
at the place of use must be complied with.
The IP (Ingress Protection) rating of the drive is installation dependant. For further
information, refer to the Commander SK Technical Data Guide.

1.6

Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must
be provided. See section 3.1 Fire protection on page 10 for more information.

1.7

Compliance and regulations

The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such as national
wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) regulations. Particular attention must be given to the cross-sectional areas of
conductors, the selection of fuses and other protection, and protective ground (earth)
connections.
The Commander SK Technical Data Guide contains instructions for achieving
compliance with specific EMC standards.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply
with the following directives:
2006/42/EC: Safety of machinery
2004/108/EC: Electromagnetic compatibility

1.8

Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
Standard squirrel cage induction motors are designed for single speed operation. If it is
intended to use the capability of a drive to run a motor at speeds above its designed
maximum, it is strongly recommended that the manufacturer is consulted first.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less
effective. The motor should be installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an
electric force vent fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection of the motor.
The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered into parameter 06, motor rated current.
This affects the thermal protection of the motor.

1.9

Mechanical brake control

The brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated operation of an
external brake with the drive. While both hardware and software are designed to high
standards of quality and robustness, they are not intended for use as safety functions,
i.e. where a fault or failure would result in a risk of injury. In any application where the
incorrect operation of the brake release mechanism could result in injury, independent
protection devices of proven integrity must also be incorporated.

1.10

Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not
be altered without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system.
Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering.

1.11

Electrical installation
The voltages present in the following locations can cause severe electric shock and may
be lethal:
AC supply cables and connections
DC bus, dynamic brake cables and connections
Output cables and connections
Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units

Rating data

Safety
information

1.11.1 Electric shock risk

Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and must not be
touched.
The AC supply must be disconnected from the drive using an approved isolation device
before any cover is removed from the drive or before any servicing work is performed.

Mechanical
installation

1.11.2 Isolation device

1.11.3 STOP function

1.11.4 Stored charge

1.11.5 Equipment supplied by plug and socket

The drive is supplied with an internal EMC filter capacitor installed. If the input voltage to
the drive is supplied through an ELCB or RCD, these may trip due to the ground
leakage current. See section 4.3.1 Internal EMC filter on page 17 for further information
and how to disconnect the internal EMC capacitor.

Diagnostics

1.11.6 Ground leakage current

Quick start
commissioning

Special attention must be given if the drive is installed in equipment which is connected
to the AC supply by a plug and socket. The AC supply terminals of the drive are
connected to the internal capacitors through rectifier diodes which are not intended to
give safety isolation. If the plug terminals can be touched when the plug is disconnected
from the socket, a means of automatically isolating the plug from the drive must be used
(e.g. a latching relay).

Parameters

Normally, the capacitors are discharged by an internal resistor. Under certain, unusual
fault conditions, it is possible that the capacitors may fail to discharge, or be prevented
from being discharged by a voltage applied to the output terminals. If the drive has failed
in a manner that causes the display to go blank immediately, it is possible the capacitors
will not be discharged. In this case, consult Control Techniques or their authorized
distributor.

Keypad and display

The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after the
AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been energized, the AC supply must
be isolated at least ten minutes before work may continue.

Electrical
installation

The STOP function does not remove dangerous voltages from the drive, the motor or
any external option units.

WARNING

3.1

Enclosure
The drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which prevents access except by
trained and authorized personnel, and which prevents the ingress of contamination. It is
designed for use in an environment classified as pollution degree 2 in accordance with
IEC 60664-1. This means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is acceptable.

Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must
be provided.
For installation in the USA, a NEMA 12 enclosure is suitable.
For installation outside the USA, the following (based on IEC 62109-1, standard for PV
inverters) is recommended.
Enclosure can be metal and/or polymeric, polymer must meet requirements which can
be summarized for larger enclosures as using materials meeting at least UL 94 class
5VB at the point of minimum thickness.
Air filter assemblies to be at least class V-2.
The location and size of the bottom shall cover the area shown in Figure 3-1. Any part of
the side which is within the area traced out by the 5 angle is also considered to be part
of the bottom of the fire enclosure.
Figure 3-1 Fire enclosure bottom layout

Drive

The bottom, including the part of the side considered to be part of the bottom, must be
designed to prevent escape of burning material - either by having no openings or by
having a baffle construction. This means that openings for cables etc. must be sealed
with materials meeting the 5VB requirement, or else have a baffle above. See Figure 32 for acceptable baffle construction. This does not apply for mounting in an enclosed
electrical operating area (restricted access) with concrete floor.

Braking resistor: High temperatures and overload protection

Braking resistors can reach high temperatures. Locate braking resistors so that damage
cannot result. Use cable having insulation capable of withstanding the high temperatures.

Diagnostics

It is essential that the braking resistor be protected against overload caused by a failure
of the brake control. Unless the resistor has in-built protection, a circuit like those shown
in Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 should be used, where the thermal protection device
disconnects the AC supply to the drive. Do not use AC relay contacts directly in series
with the braking resistor circuit, because it carries DC.

Safety information

WARNING

When the internal EMC filter is installed, the leakage current is high. In this case, a
permanent fixed ground connection must be provided using two independent conductors
each with a cross-section equal to or exceeding that of the supply conductors. The drive
is provided with two ground terminals to facilitate this. The purpose is to prevent a safety
hazard occurring if a connection is lost. Both ground connections are required to meet
the required european standard.

EMC
Internal EMC filter

If the drive is to be used on an IT supply, then the filter must be removed.

The internal EMC filter reduces radio-frequency emissions into the mains supply. Where
the motor cable is short, it permits the requirements of EN 61800-3:2004 to be met for
the second environment.

Quick start
commissioning

When the internal EMC filter is used on the Commander SK size D, the motor cables (U,
V and W) need to be fed twice through a ferrite ring (provided with the drive), so that the
drive meets the requirements of operating in the second environment.

Parameters

For longer motor cables, the filter continues to provide a useful reduction in emission
level, and when used with any length of shielded cable up to the limit for the drive, it is
unlikely that nearby industrial equipment will be disturbed. It is recommended that the
filter be used in all applications unless the ground leakage current is unacceptable or
the above conditions are true.

Keypad and display

It is recommended that the internal EMC filter is kept in place unless there is a specific
reason for removing it.

Control terminals I/O specification

The control circuits are isolated from the power circuits in the drive by basic insulation
(single insulation) only. The installer must ensure that the external control circuits are
insulated from human contact by at least one layer of insulation (supplementary

information

Parameter copying is initiated by pressing the M MODE key on exit from parameter
edit mode after Pr 28 has been set to rEAd, Prog or boot.

NOTE

If parameter copying is enabled when no SmartStick is installed to the drive, the drive will
trip on C.Acc.

NOTE

The SmartStick can be used to copy parameters between drives of different ratings.
Certain drive dependant parameters will be stored on the SmartStick but will not be
copied to the cloned drive.
The drive will trip on C.rtg when being written to by a copied parameter set of a different
drive rating.
The drive dependant parameters are: Pr 06 Motor rated current, Pr 08 Motor rated
voltage, Pr 09 Motor power factor and Pr 37 Maximum switching frequency.

NOTE

Before the SmartStick /LogicStick is written to using Prog, the SmartStick/LogicStick will
need to be inserted into the drive at power up or a reset command performed when the
drive has been powered up, otherwise will trip on C.dAt when Prog command executed.

NOTE

For best motor performance, an autotune should be carried out after parameter copying
has taken place.

When a rotating autotune is selected, the drive will accelerate the motor up to 2/3
maximum speed in Pr 02. Once a rotating autotune has been initiated (Pr 38 set to 2)
on Commander SK, it must be completed before the drive will operate normally. If the
rotating auto-tune is not completed (through the drive being disabled or a trip
occuring), the drive will only run at the autotune speed (2/3 rated speed reference)
when the drive is asked to run again.

Enter the motor rated frequency (taken from the motor name plate).
Defines the voltage to frequency ratio applied to the motor.

The drive default setting is Ur I mode which means that the drive will carry out an
autotune every time the drive is powered-up and enabled. If the load is not going to be
stationary when the drive is powered-up and enabled, then one of the other modes
should be selected. Not selecting another mode could result in poor motor performance
or OI.AC, It.AC or 0 V trips.

Safety information

WARNING

The brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated operation of an
external brake with the drive. While both hardware and software are designed to high
standards of quality and robustness, they are not intended for use as safety functions,
i.e. where a fault or failure would result in a risk of injury. In any application where the
incorrect operation of the brake release mechanism could result in injury, independent
protection devices of proven integrity must also be incorporated.

Cooling fan control (size B, C and D only)

As default, the drives cooling fan is controlled by the drive. The fan will remain off until
the heatsink temperature reaches 60 C or the output current rises above 75 % of the
drive rating. The fan will then switch on and run at full speed for a minimum of 20 s.
The cooling fan on a Commander SK size D is a dual speed fan. The drive controls the
speed at which the fan runs based on the temperature of the drives heatsink and also
the drives thermal model system.
