PSDrive WARNING Do not install the device in environments with risk of explosion, flooding, or the presence of flammable fluids or solids. Ensure sufficient ventilation in the room. Refer to local regulations when selecting the appropriate installation location. WARNING The degree of protection of the device is only ensured if, at the end of the installation, the cover screws and the cable glands have been properly tightened.
PSDrive WARNING Do not place any heat-generating elements (outlet filters) on the suction side of the de- vice. Otherwise, dangerous overheating may occur. 6.3. Mechanical assembly of size 2 devices The size 2 devices are equipped with a quick connection system that allows to make both power and signal electrical connections on the fixed part, called "base", while the mobile part, called "power", is applied later.
PSDrive DANGER Be careful not to damage or remove the four metal pins, as this will not only compromise the mechanical coupling between the base and the power, but also the ground connec- tion. 6.4. Motor on-board mounting The device may be installed in place of the motor terminal cover in both horizontal and vertical posi- tions.
Page 18
PSDrive The seal on the base of the device provides protection against the access of water and dust. It is rec- ommended to drill the gasket only at the level of the four fixing holes to the motor case. It is possible to use the same screws and washers with which the terminal cover was fastened to the motor case.

PSDrive WARNING Use unshielded cable for input cables and shielded cable for output cables. WARNING Always use cables with appropriate cable lugs, which may be supplied with the product. WARNING For motor cable lengths greater than 5 meters, the use of special output filters, available on request, is recommended.
PSDrive WARNING The connection of the Cy filter capacitors to ground may be removed by removing the screws marked with the EMC symbol. In this manner the leakage currents to ground due to the filter are reduced, but the intrinsic EMC compatibility of the device is not guaran- teed and must therefore, be guaranteed externally in another way.

It is possible to control the device using a smartphone or tablet equipped with Bluetooth BTLE connec- tivity and with the App Varisco PSDrive installed. The App is available for Android and iOS and may be downloaded, free of charge, through the respective online stores.
PSDrive Through the application it is possible to: • Monitor multiple operating parameters simultaneously. • Get energy consumption statistics and check alarm history. • Run reports with the ability to add notes, images and send them by e-mail or store them in the digital archive.
PSDrive • Lower energy consumption. • Reduction of torque oscillations (vibrations) for smoother and more regular operation throughout the frequency range and lower system noise. • Lower mechanical stress on the motor, pump and hydraulic system. FOC control of FOC-ready devices may be used with: •...
PSDrive WARNING During calibration the motor coils are heated by the test current. If the motor is self-venti- lated the absence of motor rotation does not allow the heat to be dispersed by force. It is therefore recommended to allow the motor to cool between one calibration and the next. DANGER During the calibration process the motor remains stationary but is powered for the entire calibration period.
PSDrive WARNING The incorrect setting of the FOC dynamic may cause: • Speed oscillations if the FOC dynamic is too slow. • Overcurrent or igbt trip alarms if the FOC dynamic is too fast. It is recommended to intervene promptly by appropriately adjusting the "FOC Dynamic" parameter if the conditions listed above are present.

PSDrive If the set pressure in the inverter is 4 bar, the pre-charge pressure of the pressure tank should be ap- prox. 3.2 bar. NOTE The pre-charge pressure must be adjusted with the system completely unloaded. 10.3. Electrical connections The device may be connected to linear pressure sensors with 4 - 20 mA output. The supply voltage range of the sensor must be such as to include the 15 V DC voltage with which the device supplies the analog inputs.

The group consists of two or more pumps (up to 8) each controlled by an inverter, and each equipped with its own pressure sensor.
PSDrive In case of reduction of the demand, all the pumps of the group reduce their frequency and, once reached the minimum frequency, the last started pump turns off. NOTE To ensure correct synchronous operation, the parameter Freq.min.control must be set ap- propriately, i.e.

It is possible to determine which devices are included in the alternation and which are not. Devices excluded from the alternation will receive a boot priority based on their address.
PSDrive CAUTION In order to enable automatic master changeover, the parameter Autorestart must be set to ON. Do not touch the keypad of the devices during the master replacement process. Other- wise the master change process will be interrupted. 12. Operation at constant differential pressure 12.1.
PSDrive • Sensor 2: • AN2 4-20 mA signal (-) • +15V: 15 VDC power supply (+) In circulation systems, the start and stop of the pump is generally controlled by an external contact which can therefore, be connected to digital input 1 (IN1, 0V) and configured accordingly. 12.3.

PSDrive CAUTION The electronic water shortage protection based on the parameter Dry run cosphi works correctly only with centrifugal pumps equipped with three-phase asynchronous motors. In the presence of permanent magnet motors it is not possible to base the water shortage protection on the cosphi reading but it is necessary to base it on the absorbed power.
