Screws and fasteners are securely tightened. 4. Exposed wiring has no contact with other wiring or terminals. Section 3 –...
3.1.2 Main Control Screen From the main screen, users can control the state of the bypass system and navigate to system configuration (settings) and status menus. HAND: Pressing this icon will put the bypass system in Hand Mode. In VFD and Hand Mode, the system will run at a manually selected frequency and the bypass contactor will automatically close if BYP (Bypass Mode) is selected and the VFD output is off.
3.1.3 Drive Status and System Diagnostics 3.1.3.1 General Status The drive status screen displays basic VFD information. Motor RPM: Displays the estimated speed of the motor. Current Magnitude: The instantaneous drive output current scaled so that it represents the r.m.s. phase current in Amps under steady-state conditions. Output Power: Displays the current power output of the VFD.
3.1.3.2 Additional Drive Status This screen displays the estimated total running cost of the HMI bypass system and filter change reminders. Power Consumption: Displays the current power consumption of the VFD. Power Cost per kWhr: Defines the cost of energy per kWh in cents. Total Power Consumption: Displays the accumulated VFD power consumption.
If all above checks are good, attempt to reset the overload relay using the overload reset button. • Fire Alarm: A 24V input signal on Fire Alarm input (24) is present. Recommended action: » If an external fire alarm is not present, verify customer terminal block wiring.
3.1.3.5 I/O Status Displays the status of inputs, outputs, and relays in the system, terminals 22 through 74. MORE: Navigates to the second I/O status page. The second I/O status page displays the SI-I/O expansion module I/O, terminals 202 through 223 and analog input terminals 5 and 6.
3.2.1 Motor Map The HMI Bypass motor data can be found or entered in the Motor Data screen. The Motor Data screen also allows access to the autotune feature and Advanced VFD settings. Motor data can usually be found on the nameplate of the motor.
Page 25
3.2.2 Autotune The VFD is able to perform either a stationary or a rotating autotune. The motor must be at a standstill before an autotune is enabled. A rotating autotune should be used whenever possible, so the measured value of power factor of the motor is used by the drive.
3.2.3 Advanced VFD Settings The Advanced VFD Settings menu allows access to advanced settings of the VFD. Voltage Boost: Defines the level of voltage boost at 0Hz when using a fixed V to F relationship. Current Limit: Limits the current when the motor is being accelerated or decelerated.
3.2.4 Skip Frequencies The skip reference functions are available to prevent continuous operation within a specified speed range (i.e., where mechanical resonance may occur). The HMI Bypass allows up to three (3) speed/frequencies to be skipped. Skip Reference: Sets the center point of the speed/frequency reference the VFD should skip.
3.2.6 I/O Settings The I/O Setting screen allows the setup of the system I/O. Analog Speed Reference Mode: Defines the input mode for analog input speed/frequency reference (5). The following list provides a brief explanation of the available settings. For further information see HVAC H300 User Guide. •...
Auto-Reset Delay: The time interval between reset attempts. The HMI Bypass default is 5 seconds. Hold Drive Healthy: If set to “ON,” the fault alarm relay will not close until all reset attempts have been exhausted. Note: If Hold Drive Healthy is set to “ON” and if Number of Auto-Reset Attempts is set to “6”...
3.2.9 Serial Communications This screen allows for the configuration of settings needed for serial communication. BAN (Building Automation Network) Protocol: Selects the network protocol. 0 = Modbus RTU 1 = BACnet 2 = Metasys N2 Open MS/TP Max Master Mac Address: (BACnet use only) this is the highest address that the bypass system will use when looking for the next master on the network with which token passing can be achieved.
3.2.10.1 Serial Data Format Defines how the serial data packets are formatted. Stop bits, parity, and standard/modified address schemes. 3.2.11 Alarm Response The Alarm Response screen allows for the configuration of the Automatic Bypass and Damper Fault Response features. Automatic Bypass: When enabled, the system will automatically go into Bypass Mode after a fault is detected and after “Auto-Bypass Time”...
3.2.12 Alarm Response - Fireman’s Override This Alarm Response screen allows for the configuration of the Fireman’s Override feature. Fireman’s Override: When enabled, a fireman override command will ignore “Motor Overload” and “Damper Timeout” faults. The system will still wait for a damper feedback, but if no feedback is detected and a timeout is triggered, the system will bypass anyway.
3.2.14 PID Setup The PID setup screen allows for the configuration of the onboard PID feature. Control Action: Direct control means that as the PID error increases, the speed reference also increases. A common application for direct control is a cooling/ heating fan.
Wake Delay: Defines the elapsed time before the system restarts the motor if the wake function is active. Sleep Delay: Defines the elapsed time before the system stops the motor if the sleep function is active. Max Sleep Offset time: Defines the maximum amount of time that the Sleep Offset function can be active.
Note: It is recommended that the HMI SETTINGS menu be accessed for Date/ Time setting and Backlight setting only. Changing any other HMI settings may prevent the HMI Bypass from operating satisfactorily. In order to navigate to the HMI Settings menu, click YES. 3.3.1 Setting the Date and Time LCD Touchscreen HMI XP-Runtime Menu Press the “Settings”...
A window will appear with date and time. Set values to current date and time. Press “OK” when complete. To return to the HMI Bypass menus press the “Start” icon from the XP-Runtime menu. To navigate back to the HMI Bypass menus press the “Start” icon from the XP-Runtime menu 3.4 Touchscreen LCD HMI Software Update Procedure To update the LCD touchscreen HMI program from a portable USB drive:...
6. Choose the correct file name from the list and hit “OK” 7. Wait while the HMI extracts and installs the new project file. Section 4 – Startup This section provides guidance on how to setup an HVAC Drive H300 HMI Bypass.
4.1 Setup Wizard Process The Setup Wizard will step you through the Motor Data, Motor Ramps/Limits, I/O Settings, Auto-Reset Setup, Remote Control, Alarm Response – Automatic Bypass, and Alarm Response – Fireman’s Override setup screens. If the PID Controller is to be used, upon selection, it will step you through the Advanced I/O Settings, PID Setup, and PID Setup –...

Step 5 - Auto-Reset Setup: If Auto-Reset feature is desired, set the number auto-reset attempts and the delay between attempts when the VFD trips. Setting Hold Drive Healthy to “ON” will hold the VFD drive health status to “Healthy” until the Auto-Reset attempts are complete.
Page 41
If the application requires the HMI Bypass to disable in the case of loss of Damper Feedback input (terminal 23) and enable the Damper Timeout trip, then the Damper Fault Response should be set to “ENABLED.” If enabled, set Damper Timeout for the time between loss of Damper Feedback input (terminal 23) and when the HMI Bypass initiates a Damper Timeout trip.
If “NO” then setup the HMI Bypass basic setup is complete and the Setup Wizard will return to the System Settings screen. If “YES” the Setup Wizard will continue to the optional PID setup screen. Optional Step - Onboard PID Controller: If the Onboard PID Controller will be used, the Setup Wizard will continue to the Advanced I/O Settings, PID Setup, and PID Setup –...
Press the HAND icon on the HMI bypass touchscreen. The HAND icon will be highlighted indicating the HMI bypass is in local control. This will start the motor across the line. Check motor rotation. To stop the motor press STOP on the HMI touchscreen. Note the direction of rotation as the motor shaft begins to rotate as compared to the required rotation direction.
4.4.2 Starting Operation There are two (2) basic steps required to begin operation. Step 1 – Select the operation mode by pressing the VFD or BYP (bypass) icon. You must select one of these modes. For VFD operation, press the VFD icon. For bypass operation press the BYP (bypass) icon.
