    (from the drive(s) and other heat sources), the maximum allowable temperature inside the enclosure, the maximum ambient temperature outside the enclosure, and the enclosure properties. The SCF Series is UL approved for solid state motor overload protection. Therefore, a separate thermal overload relay is not required for single motor applications.
  • Page 14: Input Ac Power Requirements

    In order to reform the capacitors and prepare the drive for operation after a long period of inactivity, apply input power to the drive for 8 hours prior to actually operating the motor. EXPLOSION PROOF APPLICATIONS Explosion proof motors that are not rated for inverter use lose their certification when used for variable speed.
  • Page 15 INPUT VOLTAGE RATINGS SF100 Series drives are rated for 120/208/240 Vac, single phase, 50-60 Hz input. The drive will function with input voltage of 120 Vac (+10%, -15%), at 48 to 60 Hz, or with input voltage of 208 to 240 Vac (+ 10%, - 15%), at 48 to 62 Hz.
  • Page 16: Power Wiring

    POWER WIRING WARNING! Hazard of electrical shock! Capacitors retain charge after power is removed. Disconnect incoming power and wait until the voltage between terminals B+ and B- is 0 VDC before servicing the drive. Note drive input and output current ratings and check applicable electrical codes for required wire type and size, grounding requirements, over-current protection, and incoming power disconnect, before wiring the drive.

  • Page 18: Control Wiring

    10.0 CONTROL WIRING 10.1 CONTROL WIRING VS. POWER WIRING External control wiring MUST be run in a separate conduit away from all other input and output power wiring. If control wiring is not kept separate from power wiring, electrical noise may be generated on the control wiring that will cause erratic drive behavior.
  • Page 19 10.6 SPEED REFERENCE SELECTION If an analog speed reference input is used to control the drive speed, terminal TB-13A, 13B, or 13C (Parameter 10, 11, or 12) may be programmed as the input select for the desired analog input signal. When that TB-13 terminal is then closed to TB-2, the drive will follow the selected analog speed reference input.
  • Page 20 NOTE: If TB-13A, TB-13B, and TB-13C are all programmed to select speed references, and two or three of the terminals are closed to TB-2, the higher terminal has priority and will override the others. For example, if TB-13A is programmed to select 0-10VDC, and TB-13C is programmed to select PRESET SPEED #3, closing both terminals to TB-2 will cause the drive to respond to PRESET SPEED #3, because TB-13C overrides TB-13A.

  • Page 36 NOTE 3: If this parameter is changed while the drive is running, the change will not take effect until the drive is stopped. Therefore, the allowable maximum frequency for drives with the High Output Frequency option (see NOTE 1) will not change if the carrier frequency is changed while the drive is running.
  • Page 37 STOP METHOD COAST TO STOP: When a STOP command is given, the drive shuts off the output to the motor, allowing it to coast freely to a stop. COAST WITH DC BRAKE: When a stop command is given, the drive will activate DC braking (after a delay of up to 2 seconds, depending on frequency) to help decelerate the load.
  • Page 38 AT SET SPEED: Closes if the drive is within + 0.5 Hz of the speed setpoint. ABOVE PRESET SPEED #3: Closes if the output frequency exceeds the PRESET SPEED #3 setting. Opens if the output frequency is equal to or less than PRESET SPEED #3 (Parameter 33).
  • Page 39 TB-13A FUNCTION SELECT This selects the function of terminal TB-13A. Closing TB-13A to TB-2 (or opening in the case of settings 7 and 10) activates the selected function. The following functions can be selected: NONE: Disables the TB-13A function. 0-10 VDC: Selects a 0-10 VDC signal (at TB-5) as the AUTO speed reference input. 4-20 mA: Selects a 4-20 mA signal (at TB-25) as the AUTO speed reference input.
  • Page 40 0-10 VDC: Selects a 0-10 VDC signal (at TB-5) as the AUTO speed reference input. 4-20 mA: Selects a 4-20 mA signal (at TB-25) as the AUTO speed reference input. PRESET SPEED #2: Selects PRESET SPEED #2 as the AUTO speed reference. The drive will operate at the frequency programmed into Parameter 32.
  • Page 41 EXTERNAL FAULT: Sets TB-13C as a normally closed external fault input. If TB-13C is open with respect to TB-2, the drive will fault. REMOTE KEYPAD: Selects the optional remote keypad as the control source. Refer to Parameter 14 - CONTROL. DB FAULT: Sets TB-13C as a dynamic braking fault input when using the optional dynamic braking module.

  • Page 43 DC BRAKE VOLTAGE This sets the magnitude of the DC braking voltage, in percentage of the nominal DC Bus voltage (DC Bus = input AC voltage X 1.414). The point at which the DC braking is activated depends on the selected STOP METHOD (Parameter 04): If COAST WITH DC BRAKE is selected, the DC braking is activated after a time delay of up to 2 seconds, depending on the output frequency at the time of the STOP command.
  • Page 44 V/Hz ratio (see diagram below). For better out-of-the-box performance, SCF Series drives are shipped with a setting that is different from the factory default, as seen in the table below. If a factory reset is performed, FIXED BOOST will default to 1.0 %.
  • Page 45 ACCELERATION BOOST ACCELERATION BOOST helps accelerate high-inertia loads. During acceleration, the output voltage is increased to increase motor torque. Once the motor reaches the new speed setpoint, the boost is turned off and the output voltage returns to the normal value. SLIP COMPENSATION SLIP COMPENSATION is used to counteract changes in motor speed (slip) caused by changes in load.
  • Page 46 Example: The critical frequency is 23 Hz, and it is desired to skip a frequency range of 3 Hz above and below the critical frequency (therefore the skip range is 20 to 26 Hz). PRESET SPEED #6 or #7 would be set to 20 Hz, and the SKIP BANDWIDTH would be set to 6.0 Hz. If the drive is running at a speed below the skip range, and it is given a speed command that is within the skip range, the drive will accelerate to the start of the skip range (20 Hz in the example) and run at that speed until the speed command is greater than or equal to the "top"...
  • Page 47 ACCEL / DECEL #2 This parameter sets the second acceleration and deceleration rate of the drive. To activate this acceleration and deceleration rate, use terminal TB-13A, TB-13B or T-13C. TB-13A and TB-13B can be set to AUXILIARY STOP which will cause the drive to decelerate to a stop according to the time programmed in this parameter.
  • Page 48 TRANSLATE: If an EPM from a drive with a previous parameter version is installed in a new drive, the new drive will function like the previous version drive, but none of the parameter settings can be changed ("cE" will be displayed if this is attempted). The TRANSLATE function converts the EPM to the new parameter version so that the parameters can be changed, but it also retains the old parameter settings so the new drive will operate like the old drive without having to re-program all of the parameters.
  • Page 49 MOTOR LOAD This displays the motor load in percent of the drive’s output current rating. 0-10 VDC ANALOG INPUT This displays the level of the 0-10 VDC analog input signal at TB-5.

  • Page 58: Appendix B - Pi Setpoint Control Option

    APPENDIX B - PI SETPOINT CONTROL OPTION The following describes the PI Setpoint Control software option for the SCF drive. This software option has additional parameters compared to the standard SCF drive. Also, some of the parameters found in the standard drive have changed in the PI version. PI Setpoint Control allows the SCF drive to maintain a process setpoint, such as PSI or CFM, without using an external controller.
  • Page 59 SETPOINT REFERENCES The following references can be used to adjust the process setpoint: 1. Keypad (! and " buttons) 2. 0-10 VDC signal (from speed pot or other source) 3. 4-20 mA signal 4. Preset Setpoints (using Preset Speeds #4 and #5) NOTE: The setpoint reference and the PI feedback cannot be the same signal.
  • Page 60 DESCRIPTION OF PI PARAMETERS TB-13A FUNCTION SELECT KEYPAD SETPOINT: This option has been added so that the ! and " buttons on the front of the drive can be used as the PI setpoint reference source. Closing TB-13A to TB-2 will enable the PI mode and the ! and "...
  • Page 61 MAX FEEDBACK This parameter should be set to the value of the process variable that corresponds to the maximum transducer feedback signal (10 VDC or 20 mA). See the example below. Example: A 0-100 psi transducer outputs 4 mA at 0 psi and 20 mA at 100 psi. Set MIN FEEDBACK to 0, and set MAX FEEDBACK to 100.
  • Page 62 0-10 VDC FEEDBACK This can be used to monitor the PI feedback when using a 0-10 VDC feedback signal. The displayed value will be scaled according to the MIN and MAX FEEDBACK parameters (62 and 63). 4-20 mA FEEDBACK This can be used to monitor the PI feedback when using a 4-20 mA feedback signal. The displayed value will be scaled according to the MIN and MAX FEEDBACK parameters (62 and 63).
  • Page 63 SCF SERIES PI CONTROL WIRING EXAMPLES The following diagrams illustrate the most common PI control configurations. The wiring and corresponding parameter settings are given. In these examples, TB-13A is used to select the setpoint reference (TB-13B or TB-13C could also be used for this function). The examples show a 2-wire start/stop circuit.
