General Safety Information DO NOT attempt to install, operate, maintain, or dispose of this equipment until you have read and understood all of the product safety information and directions that are contained in this guide. Safety Alert Symbol The Safety Alert Symbol is comprised of an equilateral triangle enclosing an exclamation mark. This indicates that a potential personal injury hazard exists.
DO NOT remove or cover any of these labels. If the labels are damaged or if additional labels are required, contact your Toshiba Sales Representative for additional labels. Labels attached to the equipment are there to provide useful information or to indicate an imminently hazardous situation that may result in serious injury, severe property and equipment damage, or loss of life if safe procedures or methods are not followed as outlined in this guide.
• Inspections may be required after moving equipment. • Contact your Toshiba Sales Representative to report discrepancies or for assistance if required. Handling and Storage • Use proper lifting techniques when moving the ASD; including properly sizing up the load, getting assistance, and using a forklift if required.
Installation Precautions Location and Ambient Requirements • The Toshiba Q9 ASD is intended for permanent installations only. • Installation should conform to the 2008 National Electrical Code — Article 110 (NEC) (Requirements For Electrical Installations), all regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and any other applicable national, regional, or industry codes and standards.
Conductor Routing and Grounding WARNING • Use separate metal conduits for routing the input power, output power, and control circuits. • A separate ground cable should be run inside of the conduit with the input power, output power, and control circuits. •...
Please contact your Toshiba Sales Representative for application-specific information or for training support. • The Toshiba ASD is part of a larger system and the safe operation of the ASD will depend upon observing certain precautions and performing proper system integration. •...
System Setup Requirements • When using the ASD as an integral part of a larger system, it is the responsibility of the ASD installer/maintenance personnel to ensure that there is a fail-safe in place (i.e., an arrangement designed to switch the system to a safe condition if there is a fault or failure). •...
Turn the power on only after attaching (or closing) the front cover and DO NOT remove or open the front cover of the ASD when the power is on. • DO NOT attempt to disassemble, modify, or repair the ASD. Call your Toshiba Sales Representative for repair information. •...
DO NOT use an ASD with a motor that has a power rating higher than the rated output of the ASD. The Q9 ASD is designed to operate NEMA B motors. Consult with your Toshiba Sales Representative before using the ASD for special applications such as with an explosion-proof motor or applications with a piston load.
The ambient operating temperature rating of the Q9 ASD is 14° to 104° F (-10° to 40° C). When installing adjacent ASDs horizontally Toshiba recommends at least 5 cm of space between adjacent units. However, horizontally mounted ASDs may be installed side-by-side with no space in between the adjacent units —...
Connecting the ASD DANGER Refer to the section titled Installation Precautions on pg. 4 and the section titled Lead Length Specifications on pg. 16 before connecting the ASD and the motor to electrical power.

Power Connection Requirements Connect the 3-phase input power to the input terminals of the ASD at R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3 (see Figure 3 for the typical electrical connection scheme). Connect the output of the ASD to the motor from the ASD terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3. The input and output conductors and terminal lugs used shall be in accordance with the requirements listed in the section titled Current/Voltage Specifications on pg.
System Grounding Proper grounding helps to prevent electrical shock and to reduce electrical noise. The Q9 ASD is designed to be grounded in accordance with Article 250 of the 2008 NEC or Section 10/Part One of the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). The grounding conductor shall be sized in accordance with Article 250-122 of the NEC or Part One- Table 6 of the CEC.
Page 25
Figure 4. The Grounding Capacitor Switch is used on typeforms — 200-volt 0.5 HP to 10 HP and the 25 and 30 HP/ 460-volt 1.0 HP to 250 HP. The value may be set to Maximum (default setting) or to Zero by pushing or pulling the switch actuator, respectively.
≥ 5 kHz 300 feet 100 feet Contact the Toshiba Customer Support Center for application assistance when using lead lengths in excess of those listed. Exceeding the peak voltage rating or the allowable thermal rise time of the motor insulation will reduce the life expectancy of the motor.
I/O and Control The ASD can be controlled by several input types and combinations thereof, as well as operate within a wide range of output frequency and voltage levels. This section discusses the ASD control methods and supported I/O functions. The Terminal Board supports discrete and analog I/O functions and is shown in Figure 9 on pg.

terminal may be programmed to any of the functions listed in the Q9 ASD Installation and Operation Manual (See F118). RR — The default function assigned to this terminal is the Frequency Mode 1 setting. The RR terminal accepts a 0 – 10 VDC input signal that is used to control the function assigned to this terminal. This input terminal may be programmed to control the speed or torque of the motor via an amplitude setting or regulate by setting a limit.
Page 30
assignments for this output terminal are listed in the Q9 ASD Installation and Operation Manual (See F005 and F681). FLA — A normally open contact that, under a user-defined condition, connects to FLC. FLB — A normally closed contact that, under a user-defined condition, opens the FLB-to-FLC connection.

Typical Connection Diagram Figure 20. The Q9 ASD Typical Connection Diagram. Note: When connecting multiple wires to any of ASD terminals, do not connect a solid wire and a stranded wire to the same terminal. Note: The AM, FM, and the +SU analog terminals are referenced to CC. The RR, RX, P24, and the PP analog terminals are referenced to CCA.
Startup and Test Before turning on the ASD ensure that: • The enclosure door is closed or reattached, and secure. • R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3 are connected to the 3-phase input power. • U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3 are connected to the motor. •...
Electronic Operator Interface The Q9 ASD Electronic Operator Interface (EOI) is comprised of an LCD screen, a rotary encoder, and five keys. These items are shown on EOI Operation The EOI is the primary input/output device for the user. The EOI may be used to monitor system functions, input data into the system, perform diagnostics, and view performance data (e.g., motor frequency, bus voltage, torque, etc.).
Figure 21. The Q9 ASD Electronic Operator Interface Features. LCD Screen Rotary Encoder Local/Remote Key (LED) Escape Key Run Key Fundamental... (LED) Terminal... Mode Direct Access... Stop-Reset Key Protection... EOI Features — Displays configuration information, performance data (e.g., output frequency, bus LCD Screen voltage, torque, etc.), and diagnostic information.
Page 36
LCD Screen The LCD screen is the primary user input/output information center. Parameter settings may be viewed, or selected and changed using the LCD screen module of the EOI. To view or change a parameter setting using the LCD screen, press the Mode key until the Program menu is displayed. Turn the Rotary Encoder until the desired Primary Menu item of the Program menu is displayed.
System Configuration and Menu Options Root Menu Items The Mode key accesses the five primary modes of the ASD: the Frequency Command mode, the Setup mode, the PID Setup mode, the Program mode, and the Monitor mode. From either mode, press the Mode key to loop through to the other four modes (see Figure 22).
Page 38
PID Setup Mode The PID Setup (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) mode is comprised of parameter settings that are specific to the PID operating mode. PID is a closed-loop control technique that seeks error minimization by reacting to three values: One that is proportional to the error, one that is representative of the error, and one that is representative of the rate of change of the error.
Monitor Mode The Monitor mode allows the user to monitor motor performance variables, control settings, and configuration data during motor operation. There are 30 items that may be monitored from this mode. The items are listed and described below. Press the Rotary Encoder to access the listing of monitored parameters. Turn the Rotary Encoder to access subsequent monitored parameters.
