The motor terminals U, V, W (T1, T2, T3) and the possible brake resistor terminals - / + are live when Vacon 10 is connected to mains, even if the motor is not running. The control I / O-terminals are isolated from the mains poten- tial.
Page 5
After disconnecting the frequency converter from the mains, wait until the fan stops and the indicators on the display go out. Wait 5 more minutes before doing any work on Vacon 10 connections. The motor can start automatically after a fault situation, if the autoreset function has been activated.
Do not open the cover of Vacon 10. Static voltage discharge from your fingers may damage the components. Opening the cover may also damage the device. If the cover of Vacon 10 is opened, warranty becomes void. 1.3 Earthing and earth fault protection The Vacon 10 frequency converter must always be earthed with an earthing conduc- tor connected to the earthing terminal.
• vacon safety 1.4 Before running the motor Checklist: Before starting the motor, check that the motor is mounted properly and ensure that the machine connected to the motor allows the motor to be started. Set the maximum motor speed (frequency) according to the motor and the machine connected to it.
2.2 Storage If the frequency converter is to be kept in store before use make sure that the ambi- ent conditions are acceptable: Storing temperature -40…+70°C Relative humidity < 95%, no condensation 24-hour support +358 (0)40 837 1150 • Email: vacon@vacon.com...
2.3 Maintenance In normal operating conditions, Vacon 10 frequency converters are maintenance- free. However, regular maintenance is recommended to ensure a trouble-free oper- ating and a long lifetime of the drive. We recommended to follow the table below for maintenance intervals.
The local distributor may grant a warranty time different from the above. This war- ranty time shall be specified in the distributor's sales and warranty terms. Vacon as- sumes no responsibility for any other warranties than that granted by Vacon itself.

3 INSTALLATION 3.1 Mechanical installation There are two possible ways to mount Vacon 10 in the wall. For MI1-MI3, either screw or DIN-rail mounting. The mounting dimensions are given on the back of the drive and on the following page.
NOTE! See the mounting dimensions on the back of the drive. Leave free space for cooling above (100 mm), below (50 mm), and on the sides (20 mm) of Vacon 10! For MI1 - MI3, side-to-side installation allowed only if the am- bient temperature is below 40 °C.
(typically e.g. in order to reduce the motor noise), this inevitably affects the power losses and cooling requirements, for different motor shaft power, operator can se- lect the switching frequency according to the graphs below.

Setting value 0 gives a linear ramp shape which causes acceleration and deceleration to act immediately to the changes in the refer- ence signal. Setting value 0.1…10 seconds for this parameter produces an S-shaped accel- eration/deceleration. The acceleration and deceleration times are determined with parameters 4.2 and 4.3.
