A hazard of personal injury and/or equipment damage exists if codes are ignored during installation. This BFI-E3 contains high voltage capacitors that take time to discharge after removal of the main supply. Before working on the drive, ensure isolation of the main supply from line inputs. Wait ten (10) minutes for the capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels.
1. Quick Start Up 1.1. Important Safety Information Please read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION below, and all Warning and Caution information elsewhere. Danger : Indicates a risk of electric shock, which, if not Danger : Indicates a potentially hazardous situation avoided, could result in damage to the equipment and other than electrical, which if not avoided, could result possible injury or death.
1.2. Quick Start Process Step Action See Section Page Identify the Enclosure Type, Model Type and ratings of Identifying the Drive by Model Number your drive from the model code on the label. In particular Check the voltage rating suits the incoming supply Check the output current capacity meets or exceeds the full load current for the intended motor Unpack and check the drive.
1.3. Quick Start Overview Quick Start – IP20 & IP66 Non Switched • Connect a Start / Stop switch between control terminals 1 & 2 o Close the Switch to Start o Open to Stop • Connect a potentiometer (5k – 10kΩ) between terminals 5, 6 and 7 as shown o Adjust the potentiometer to vary the speed from P-02 (0Hz default) to P-01 (50 / 60 Hz default) Quick Start –...
3. Mechanical Installation 3.1. General • The drive should be mounted in a vertical position only on a flat, flame resistant vibration free mounting using the integral holes or DIN Rail clip (Frame Sizes 1 and 2 only).Do not mount flammable material close to the drive. •...
3.7. Gland Plate and Lock Off The use of a suitable gland system is required to maintain the appropriate IP / Nema rating. The gland plate has pre moulded cable entry holes for power and motor connections suitable for use with glands as shown in the following table. Where additional holes are required, these can be drilled to suitable size.

• The motor should be connected to the BFI-E3 U, V, and W terminals using a suitable 3 or 4 core cable. Where a 3 core cable is utilised, with the shield operating as an earth conductor, the shield must have a cross sectional area at least equal to the phase conductors when they are made from the same material.
4.7. Using the REV/0/FWD Selector Switch (Switched Version Only) By adjusting the parameter settings the BFI-E3 can be configured for multiple applications and not just for Forward or Reverse. This could typically be for Hand/Off/Auto applications (also known and Local/Remote) for HVAC and pumping industries.
7/ Permissible cable length with additional external EMC filter 4.11. Optional Brake Resistor BFI-E3 Frame Size 2 and above units have a built in Brake Transistor. This allows an external resistor to be connected to the drive to provide improved braking torque in applications that require this.

P-13 Operating Mode Select Provides a quick set up to configure key parameters according to the intended application of the drive. Parameters are preset according to the table. 0: Industrial Mode. Intended for general purpose applications. 1: Pump Mode. Intended for centrifugal pump applications. 2: Fan Mode.

Par. Description Minimum Maximum Default Units In addition, if P-24 > 0, P-02 > 0, P-26=0 and P-27 = P-02, this ramp time is applied to both acceleration and deceleration when operating below minimum speed, allowing selection of an alternative ramp when operating outside of the normal speed range, which may be useful in pump and compressor applications.

Par. Description Minimum Maximum Default Units 1 : DC Injection on Start. DC is injected into the motor at the current level set in P-59 for the time set in Index 1 immediately after the drive is enabled, prior to the output frequency ramping up. The output stage remains active during this phase. This can be used to ensure the motor is at standstill prior to starting.

P-45 is used 1 : Analog Input 1 Setpoint P-45 PI Digital Setpoint 100.0 When P-44 = 0, this parameter sets the preset digital reference (setpoint) used for the PI Controller as a % of the feedback signal.

Index 2 : Thermal Overload Limit Reaction 0: It.trp. When the overload accumulator reaches the limit, the drive will trip on It.trp to prevent damage to the motor. 1: Current Limit Reduction. When the overload accumulator reaches 90% of, the output current limit is internally reduced to 100% of P-08 in order to avoid an It.trp.

7. Analog and Digital Input Macro Configurations 7.1. Overview BFI-E3 uses a Macro approach to simplify the configuration of the Analog and Digital Inputs. There are two key parameters which determine the input functions and drive behaviour:- • P-12 – Selects the main drive control source and determines how the output frequency of the drive is primarily controlled.
The Register number for each parameter P-04 to P-047 is defined as 128 + Parameter number, e.g. for parameter P-15, the register number is 128 + 15 = 143. Internal scaling is used on some parameters, for further details, please contact Beijer Electronics.
9.3. Single Phase Operation of Three Phase Drives All drive models intended for operation from three phase mains power supply (e.g. model codes BFI-E3-xxxxxx-3xxx) may be operated from a single phase supply at up to 50% of maximum rated output current capacity.
