Safety instructions The components of the power unit of the AC drive are live when Vacon NX_ is connected to mains potential. Coming into contact with this voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury. The control unit is isolated from mains potential.
The Vacon NX_ AC drive must always be earthed with an earthing conductor connected to the earthing terminal The earth leakage current of Vacon NX_ exceeds 3.5mA AC. According to EN61800-5-1, one or more of the following conditions for the associated protective circuit shall be satisfied: a.
The CE marking on the product guarantees the free movement of the product within the EEA (European Economic Area). Vacon NX_ AC drives carry the CE label as a proof of compliance with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC). The company SGS FIMKO has acted as the Competent Body.
Warning: In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. Note: For changing the EMC protection class of your Vacon NX_ AC drive from class H or L to class T, please refer to the instructions given in Chapter 6.1.3.
RECEIPT OF DELIVERY RECEIPT OF DELIVERY Vacon NX_ AC drives have undergone scrupulous tests and quality checks at the factory before they are delivered to the customer. However, after unpacking the product, check that no signs of transport damages are to be found on the product and that the delivery is complete (compare the type designation of the product to the code below,(Figure 3-1).
3.3.1 to recharge the capacitors. Maintenance In normal conditions, Vacon NX_ AC drives are maintenance-free. However, regular maintenance is recommended to ensure a trouble-free operation and a long lifetime of the drive. We recommend to follow the table below for maintenance intervals.
(Vacon Warranty Terms). The local distributor may grant a warranty time different from the above. This warranty time shall be specified in the distributor's sales and warranty terms. Vacon assumes no responsibility for any other warranties than that granted by Vacon itself.

Recommended fuse types: gG/gL, see Table 6-2 and Table 6-3; If the motor temperature protection of the drive (see Vacon All in One Application Manual) is used as an overload protection, the cable shall be chosen accordingly. If three or more cables are used in parallel for bigger units each cable requires a separate overload protection.
DC supply and brake resistor cables Vacon AC drives are equipped with terminals for the DC supply and an optional external brake resistor. These terminals are marked with B–, B+/R+ and R–. The DC bus connection is made to terminals B– and B+ and the brake resistor connection to R+ and R–.
