1. SAFETY
ONLY A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN IS ALLOWED TO CARRY
OUT THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION!
This quick guide contains clearly marked warnings which are intended for your per-
sonal safety and to avoid any unintentional damage to the product or connected ap-
pliances.
Please read these warnings carefully:
The components of the power unit of the frequency converter
are live when Vacon 10 is connected to mains. Coming into
contact with this voltage is extremely dangerous and may
cause death or severe injury.
The motor terminals U, V, W (T1, T2, T3) and the possible brake
resistor terminals -/+ are live when Vacon 10 is connected to
mains, even if the motor is not running.
The control I/O-terminals are isolated from the mains poten-
tial. However, the relay output terminals may have a danger-
ous control voltage present even when Vacon 10 is
disconnected from mains.
The earth leakage current of Vacon 10 frequency converters
exceeds 3.5mA AC. According to standard EN61800-5-1, a
reinforced protective ground connection must be ensured.
See Chapter 7!
If the frequency converter is used as a part of a machine, the
machine manufacturer is responsible for providing the
machine with a main switch (EN 60204-1).
If Vacon 10 is disconnected from mains while running the
motor, it remains live if the motor is energized by the process.
In this case the motor functions as a generator feeding energy
to the frequency converter.
After disconnecting the frequency converter from the mains,
wait until the fan stops and the indicators on the display go
out. Wait 5 more minutes before doing any work on Vacon 10
connections.
The motor can start automatically after a fault situation, if
autorestart function has been activated.
