 Variable Speed Drives
Fire Mode Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
(forced operation) FEATURES

During Fire
Alarm is ignored and operation continues until the inverter is damaged, and evacuation route is secured
without smoke permeation.
1) Ignores the inverter alarm and forcibly performs retry operation.
2) Displays an alarm during running in fire mode (without stopping due to alarm).

Fire Mode control function

Mode selection
Set when enabling forced operation (Fire Mode). In an emergency, operation at a
specified speed can be performed. Even when an alarm of the inverter is generated,
operation is continued. In such a case where instant overcurrent protection occurs, the
retry function is to be used to restart the operation.

Confirmation time
Data setting range: 0.5 to 10.0 (s)
Set ON/OFF setting time for FMS signals. If FMS is turned ON/OFF in time shorter than
the specified value, forced operation (Fire Mode) is not enabled. FMS signals are to be
kept ON longer than the (H117) confirmation time. (in the event of false alarm)

Reference frequency
Data setting range: Inherit, 0.1 to 120.0 (Hz)
Specify speed (reference frequency) at which operation is to be performed when forced
operation (Fire Mode) is enabled.

Rotation direction
Data setting range: 0, 2, 3 (No change, Forward, Reverse)
Set an operation instruction (rotation direction) to be followed when forced operation
(Fire Mode) is enabled.

Start method
Data setting range: 0, 1 (follow setting mode, STM mode (catch on the fly) )
Set the start method to be followed when Fire Mode is enabled.

Reset interval
Data setting range: 0.5 to 20.0 (s)
Set time delay to auto cancel of trip status for a case where the inverter enters trip
status and stops during forced operation (Fire Mode).
 Variable Speed Drives
Pick-up operation function Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
(speed sensor / Catch on the fly) FEATURES

Smooth start by pick-up function.

If operating fan while operating without a load when the inverter is not operating, pick-up is executed
smoothly by searching for speed regardless of rotation direction. Convenient function when
instantaneously switching from commercial power supply to inverter or restarting from instantaneous
power failure.
 Variable Speed Drives

 Variable Speed Drives
Trip-less by regenerative avoidance control Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
(effective for acceleration, deceleration and fixed speed) FEATURES

Because amount of energy to be regenerated to the inverter is limited and acceleration/

deceleration time is controlled, equipment can be operated without overvoltage trip.

Example: Operation when decelerating

 Variable Speed Drives

Displays the current date & time and the alarm info date & time, and enables timer operation.
(The RTC can be maintained by an optional battery.)
Has the correction function for daylight saving time (DST).
The backup battery is used to back up the real-time clock (RTC) when no power is applied to the
inverter. It is provided as an option.

Daylight saving time auxiliary function
Battery (optional) * Battery connection status displayed on the LCD monitor.
 Variable Speed Drives
Overload avoidance control Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
FEATURES

Continued operation of equipment by overload avoidance control

If the inverter becomes overloaded in the case where inverter internal temperature rises radically
from increased load or ambient temperature rises abnormally, operation is continued by reducing
the load by reducing motor speed.
 Variable Speed Drives
Commercial operation switching Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
FEATURES

Because the inverter is equipped with a commercial frequency start processing function for switching
commercial / inverter operation by external sequence, peripheral equipment configuration can be simplified.
The inverter is equipped with 2 types of commercial operation switching sequences:
Fuji standard and inverter alarm automatic commercial switching sequence.
 Variable Speed Drives
Operation signal loss detection Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
FEATURES

Operation signal trouble is also avoided by command loss detection function.

If the frequency signal connected to the inverter (0 - 10V, 4 - 20 mA, multiple stage speed operation
signal, communication, etc.) is blocked, the fact that frequency command has been lost is output
as a “command loss” signal. You can furthermore set output frequency for command loss in advance,
so the equipment can continue to operate even if the frequency signal is cut off by mechanical
vibration, etc.
 Variable Speed Drives
Low torque detection Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
FEATURES

Low torque detection also possible

If a problem such as fan belt breaking and load connected to the motor becomes exponentially
lighter all of a sudden, detects that torque has dropped and outputs it as an output signal.
Abnormal status of the equipment can be detected using this signal, so it can be utilized as
equipment maintenance information.

Setting
This output signal comes ON when the torque value calculated by the inverter or torque command
drops below the level specified set point (by E80) (Low torque detection (Level)) for the period
specified set time (by E81) (Low torque detection (Timer)). The minimum ON-duration is 100 ms.

When Low output torque detected - U-TL

This output signal comes ON when the torque value calculated by the inverter or torque
command drops below the level specified by E80 (Low torque detection (Level)) for the
period specified by E81 (Low torque detection (Timer)). The signal turns OFF when the calculated
torque exceeds "the level specified by E80 plus 5% of the motor rated torque." The minimum
ON-duration is 100 ms.

In the inverter’s low frequency operation, as a substantial error in torque calculation occurs,
no low torque can be detected within the operation range at less than 20% of the base
frequency (F04). (In this case, the result of recognition before entering this operation range is
retained.)
The U-TL signal goes off when the inverter is stopped.
 Variable Speed Drives
Slow flowrate function Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
(Energy Saving) FEATURES

Slow flowrate function

The inverter can be stopped when the discharge rate becomes low due to increase of pump
discharge pressure.
Facility having a bladder tank can make the stoppage period longer by applying pressure
immediately before stoppage, which realizes energy-saving operation.

Slow flowrate stop function

Pressurized operation is possible before the slow flowrate stop.
Automatic frequency updating function for slow flowrate stop
PID operation stopped temporarily, e.g., due to slow flowrate (Run command being ON)
Boost function Under application of pressure due to slow flowrate

Motor stopped due to slow flowrate under PID control

This output signal is ON when the inverter is stopped due to the slow flowrate stop function
under PID control.
 Variable Speed Drives
Password function Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
FEATURES

Function codes can be read/write, displayed or hidden by setting the two passwords. This prevents
erroneous operation or overwriting of function codes. In addition, if a wrong password was input exceeding
the specified number of times, the inverter is restricted from operating as the user is regarded as improper.

Password function
Protects function code data from unintentional change and hides data (at 2 levels).
Entering a wrong password five times causes an alarm.

Password protection state

Inverter being locked (Force to stop, Inoperable)
Locked with password 2 (Access to function codes is prohibited.)
Locked with password 1 (Function code data change is prohibited.)
Lock being released (Password being canceled)

Password control
Setting the password allows the setting of access to inverter function codes and to prevent data
revision.
Password functions are different, as shown below, depending on whether Password 1 or
Password 2 are selected.
 Variable Speed Drives
Filter clogging prevention Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
FEATURES

Filter clogging prevention function

This function detects clogging of the fan filter with dust or other materials using the output
current and pressure sensor value. When clogging is detected, the fan is rotated in reverse
to eject dust, and then resumes rotation in forward to blow air. In addition, the function notifies
you of maintenance necessity with the alarm signal.
When a fan's filter is clogged with coarse-grained dust, the filter clogging prevention function
expels the dust through reverse rotation operation, break it up, and then starts air blow through
normal rotation operation.

Filter clogging reverse rotation command

Turning the FRC ON activates the filter clogging prevention to run the motor in the forward
and reverse directions repeatedly according to the reverse rotation running time (J194).

jam function expels it through reverse rotation operation and then starts normal water supply
through normal rotation operation.

 Variable Speed Drives
Wet-bulb temperature presumption control Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
(Energy Saving) FEATURES

Wet-bulb temperature presumption control

This function is to be used mainly for fan control of a cooling tower. On days when outside air
temperature (humidity) is especially high, the wet-bulb temperature becomes higher than the
set temperature, preventing water temperature from reaching the set temperature. As a result,
the fan continues operating at high speed, resulting in no energy-saving effect. With this function
activated, the wet-bulb temperature is automatically estimated, and the fan is controlled so that
cooling water is adjusted according to outside air temperature (humidity), resulting in reduction
of wasteful power consumption.

Wet-bulb temperature presumption control set point

Set a frequency reduction value per minute in terms of wet-bulb temperature estimation.
Data setting range: 0.01 to 120.00 (Hz/min), OFF
 Variable Speed Drives
Automatic energy-saving operation Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
(Energy Saving) FEATURES

Equipped with function that contributes to energy conservation.

Considering that fact that “control that minimizes motor loss” has evolved and the loss of the
inverter itself, the device has been “equipped with a new type of control to minimize loss of the
motor plus the inverter” to further conserve electric power for fan and pump applications.
 Variable Speed Drives
Linearization Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
(Energy Saving) FEATURES

Linearization function
The best location for a pressure sensor in a closed pump system is at the most distant, key
load point. This allows the system to maintain constant system pressure at all loads and takes
all system resistance into consideration.

It is not always possible to place the pressure sensor at this point in the system. Often the
pressure sensor is located near the pump discharge. In these cases, the drive regulates the
pump speed to produce a constant pressure at the outlet of the pump regardless of the actual
load requirements of the system. At reduced demand, the energy that is required to produce
pressure in excess of actual load requirements is wasted.

The Linearization Function of the FRENIC HVAC allows the user to adapt the control system to
imperfect placement of the sensor. By calculating the pump control curve of the system the
drive reduces the pump speed to meet actual load requirements. Significant Energy savings
are possible with adaptive control macros.
 Variable Speed Drives
Motor PTC thermistor Drives with DC Reactor, EMC filter
FEATURES

Motor protection by PTC thermistor

By connecting the Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) thermistor embedded in the motor
to the C1 pin, motor temperature is detected to protect the motor by shutting off the inverter
before the motor overheats. You can select whether to shut off the inverter (stop by alarm)
or output alarm from transistor output by PTC protection level.

Motor cumulative running time (h)

Keeps track of time that equipment (motor) using the inverter is actually running.
If used for fan control, it approximates the time for replacement of belts used for pulleys.

Startup count (times)

Counts the number of times the inverter is turned on and off.
Because it keeps a record of how many times the equipment is turned on and off, it
approximates the times for replacement of equipment parts that place a load on machinery
when turned on and off.
