Parameter Descriptions
4.19.2 22-4* Sleep Mode
Sleep mode allows the frequency converter to stop itself in
situations where the system is in balance. This function
saves energy and prevents excessive pressure, water
excessively cooled in cooling towers, and building pressuri-
zation problems in the system. This is also important as
some applications prevent the frequency converter from

adjusting the motor down to low speed. This might
damage pumps, cause insufficient lubrication in gearboxes,
and make fans unstable.
If the load on the system allows for stop of the motor and
the load is monitored, the motor can be stopped by
activating the sleep mode function. This is not a normal
stop command but ramps the motor down to 0 RPM and
stops energizing the motor. When in sleep mode, certain
conditions are monitored to find out when load has been
applied to the system again.
To facilitate use of the sleep mode function, the action
takes place at raising edge of the external digital input
signal applied, and the sleep mode enable is level-based
(programmed via the parameters for configuration of the
digital inputs, parameter group 5-1* Digital Inputs). Then,
the frequency converter judges the conditions for going
into sleep mode or wake up automatically.
If digital input for sleep mode enable was removed during
the sleep status, the frequency converter could still come
out of wake up according to the real wake-up conditions
for this time.
There are 2 different ways of using the sleep mode
function after sleep mode function is enabled:
1) In systems where the pressure or temperature is
controlled by an external PI controller, the wake-up
conditions cannot be based on feedback from the
pressure/temperature transducer as the setpoint is not
known. Set parameter 1-00 Configuration Mode to [0] Speed
open loop.
