Please read the warning information carefully. ® VACON 20 X is a drive designed to control asynchronous AC motors and permanent magnet motors. The product is intended to be installed in a restricted access location and for a gen- eral purpose use.
(if no keypad is attached, see the indicators on the cover). Wait an ® additional 30 seconds before starting any work on the connections of VACON X Drive. After expiration of this time, use measuring equipment to absolutely ensure that no voltage is present.
Only DVC A circuits (Decisive Voltage Class A, according to IEC 61800-5-1) are allowed to be connected to the control unit. This advice aims to protect both the drive and the client-application. Vacon is not responsible for direct or consequen- tial damages resulting from unsafe connections of external circuits to the drive.
CAUTION! ® The VACON 20 X AC drive must always be earthed with an earthing conductor connected to the earthing terminal marked with Since the touch current exceeds 3.5 mA AC, according to EN61800-5-1, the drive shall have a fixed connection and provision of an additional terminal for a second protective earthing con- ductor of the same cross-sectional area as the original protective earthing conductor.
Page 9
® In VACON 20 X, the phase conductor and the corresponding protective earthing conductor can be of the same cross-sectional area, provided they are made of the same metal (because the cross-sectional area of the phase conductor is less than 16 mm...
IEC 61800-5-1) and the GND terminals are referred to PE. This is important when you need to connect other circuits to the drive and test the complete assembly. Should you have any doubts or questions, please contact your local Vacon distribu- tor.
(RCD) or monitoring (RCM) device is used for protection in case of direct or indirect contact, only an RCD or RCM of Type B is allowed on the supply side of this product. Service support: find your nearest Vacon service center at www.vacon.com...
® VACON 20 X has an integrated cooling system, independent from the motor fan. Under max- imum operating conditions, the ambient temperature cannot exceed 40 °C. See Table 24 for the output rated current. Higher temperatures are allowed only with derating of the output current.

® In VACON 20 X, the STO function is realized by preventing the propagation of the control signals to the inverter circuit. The inverter power stage is disabled through redundant disabling paths which start from the two separated and galvanically isolated STO inputs (S1-G1, S2-G2 in Figure 63).
