5.3 Foundation for the Drive Danfoss provides general arrangement and floor plan drawings for each VACON® 1000 delivery. Consult these drawings for floor leveling requirements. The finished floor under and in front of the drive line-up must be smooth and level. The minimum floor leveling requirement is a tolerance of ±1 mm/m (±0.012 in/ft) over the whole length of the drive line-up.

Air ducts are not manufactured or supplied by Danfoss. Therefore, also calculations or documentation for the manufacturing of air ducts are not available from Danfoss. If an air duct is used, Danfoss takes no responsibility for the cooling efficiency. The air duct sizing, manufacturing, and installation must be done by a professional HVAC integrator.

8 Commissioning 8.1 Safety Checks before Starting the Commissioning Only qualified and trained engineers authorized by Danfoss are allowed to do the commissioning of the VACON® 1000 medium-voltage drive. Functional tests, commissioning, and primary parameter calibration must be executed by professional engineers in coordination with the end users to make sure that the final test and performance are according to the end users requirements.
Page 97
Confirm the acceptance process before commissioning. If the customer cannot sign the commissioning report immediately after completing the commissioning, contact the responsible Danfoss sales person for support. Fill in the basic information about the job and the motor nameplate data.
Page 109
After the commissioning is finished, the user and the commissioning engineer from Danfoss must accept and sign the commissioning report. The Danfoss commissioning engineer must write two duplicate commissioning reports, one copy is for the user and the other for Danfoss.

Communication: Stop the drive through communication. Two different stop modes are possible: Ramp stop and coast stop. Ramp stop The drive stops the motor according to the preset deceleration time. For setting the decelerated stop time, see the Danfoss Application Guide. Coast stop The drive stops the voltage output, and the motor rotates freely and decelerates gradually through the load and friction until it stops.

Do not conduct any service, spare parts replacements, or other related operations which are not described in this manual. Do not revise the system software or connect other equipment with the drive. If changes are required, contact Danfoss. Do not modify or scratch the labels and markings of the drive, as these are provided for the safety of the users and for the use of the product.

If after one hour there is nothing abnormal shown by the power cell indicators, the maintenance is done. Turn off the power and remove the connections. Put power cell back in the drive cabinet, or if stored, in its insulated plastic bag. If there are any problems, contact Danfoss. 9.9.2 Replacing the Power Cells Prerequisite: Cut off the system power according to 9.2 Standard Maintenance Process...
