QUICKSTART GUIDE
Cerus X-Drive
Safety Information
This equipment should be installed and serviced by technically quali-
fied personnel who are familiar with the correct selection and use of
appropriate tools, equipment, and procedures. Failure to comply with
national and local electrical and plumbing codes and within Franklin
Electric recommendations may result in electrical shock or fire hazard,
unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
Read and follow instructions carefully to avoid injury and property
damage. Do not disassemble or repair unit unless described in this
manual.
Failure to follow installation or operation procedures and all applicable
codes may result in the following hazards:
High voltages capable of causing severe
injury or death by electrical shock are
present in this unit.
•
To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or
around the system. More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-
energize the equipment before servicing.
•
Make sure the ground terminal is connected to the motor, control enclo-
sures, metal plumbing, and other metal near the motor or cable using wire
no smaller than motor cable wires.
•
Do not remove VFD cover for wiring or periodic inspections while power is
applied, or the unit is in operation.
•
Capacitors inside the drive can still hold lethal voltage even after power has
been disconnected. ALWAYS check if DC bus charge LED is off and DC volt-
age on the terminals DC (+1) and DC (-) is less than 30VDC before working
on VFD wiring. The DC bus capacitors may hold high-voltage charge for
several minutes after the VFD power is disconnected.
•
Perform wiring after VFD has been mounted. Otherwise, electric shock or
bodily injury can occur.
•
Do not apply power to a damaged VFD or to VFD with missing parts.
•
Do not use VFD if power or motor cable is damaged.
•
Do not handle the VFD or control devices with wet hands or when standing
on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock,
or property damage.
•
This equipment must not be used by children or persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental abilities, or lacking in experience and expertise,
unless supervised or instructed. Children may not use the equipment, nor
may they play with the unit or in the immediate vicinity.
•
Equipment can start automatically. Lockout-Tagout before servicing equip-
ment.
•
This equipment produces high temperatures during normal operation. Use
caution when contacting surfaces.

Risk of bodily injury, electric shock,
or property damage.
•
Install VFD on a non-flammable surface. Do not place flammable materials
nearby.
•
Disconnect the input power if VFD has been damaged.
•
Do not touch VFD after shutting down or disconnecting it. It can remain hot
for a few minutes.
•
Do not allow lint, paper, wood chips, dust, metallic chips or other foreign
material into the drive.
•
Some VFD parameters are set as default to automatically start VFD in some
applications. Disable these parameters if automatic start is not safe for per-
sonnel or equipment.
•
If restart after fault reset is selected, the VFD can start automatically after
fault reset.
•
If required, provide an emergency mechanical brake to prevent any hazard-
ous conditions if VFD fails during
•
operation.
•
Do not allow lint, paper, wood chips, dust, metallic chips or other foreign
material into the drive.
•
Some VFD parameters are set as default to automatically start VFD in some
applications. Disable these parameters if automatic start is not safe for per-
sonnel or equipment.
Risk of damage to drive or other equipment.
•
Take protective measures against ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) before
touching control boards during inspection, installation or repair.
•
Do not connect power factor correction capacitors, surge
•
suppressors, or RFI filter to the VFD output.
•
Check if input power voltage is within acceptable range before applying
power to VFD.
•
Set correct motor data from the motor nameplate and overload protection
parameters for proper motor overload protection.
•
Do not modify VFD internal components and circuits.
•
Power factor capacitors and generators may become overheated and dam-
aged due to harmonics distortion created by VFD.
•
The use of any disconnecting device (contactor, disconnect etc.) in motor
circuit during VFD run can cause damage to VFD power components. Stop
VFD before opening the motor circuit with disconnect or contactor.
•
Use, if possible, an inverter rated or motor with insulation Class F or higher.
For submersible pump motors, use Class B or higher. The VFD generates
high frequency output pulses with spikes, which can deteriorate motor
winding insulation and eventually damage the motor. The longer distance
to the motor the higher amplitude of these voltage spikes will be applied to
motor winding. Any cables with paralleled wires will increase the amplitude
of these spikes at motor terminals.
•
The VFD can operate a motor at frequencies higher than 50HZ or 60Hz. Ver-
ify the maximum allowed speed with motor and machinery manufacturers
prior to increasing output frequency because it can overheat the motor or
damage machinery.
