Operating Guide
VLT® HVAC Basic Drive FC 101
IEC/UL61800-5-1 Compliance
1 Introduction
This operating guide provides necessary information for quali ed personnel to install and commission the
AC drive. Read and follow the instructions to use the drive safely and professionally.
Do not dispose of equipment containing electrical components together with domestic waste.
Collect it separately in accordance with local and currently valid legislation.
2 Safety
Pay particular attention to the safety instructions and general warnings to avoid the risk of death, serious
injury, and equipment or property damage.
W A R N I N G
HIGH VOLTAGE
AC drives contain high voltage when connected to AC mains input, DC supply, or load sharing.
UNINTENDED START
The motor may start from control panel, I/O inputs, eldbus, or VLT® Motion Control Tool MCT 10 at any time, when the
drive is connected to the AC mains, DC supply, or load sharing.
DISCHARGE TIME
The drive contains DC-link capacitors, which can remain charged even when the drive is not powered. High voltage can be
present even when the warning indicator lights are o .
- Stop the motor, disconnect AC mains and permanent magnet type motors, and remove DC-link supplies, including
battery backups, UPS, and DC-link connections to other drives.
- Wait for the capacitors to discharge fully and measure it before performing any service or repair work.
- The minimum waiting time is 4 minutes for H1, H2, and H3 drives, and 15 minutes for H4 and H5 drives.
LEAKAGE CURRENT
Leakage currents of the drive exceed 3.5 mA. Make sure that the minimum size of the ground conductor complies with the
local safety regulations for high touch current equipment.
N O T I C E
It is not allowed to install FC101 types with UL61800-5-1 in an isolated mains source (IT mains or oating delta) or TT/TN-S
mains with a grounded leg (grounded delta).

Parameter value.
Setup number shows the active setup and the edit setup. If the same setup acts as both active and edit setup, only
3
that setup number is shown (factory setting). When active and edit setup di er, both numbers are shown in the
display (setup 12). The number ashing indicates the edit setup.
4
Motor direction is shown to the bottom left of the display – indicated by a small arrow pointing either clockwise or
counterclockwise.

N O T I C E
[2] Coast inverse is the default option for parameter 5-12 Terminal 27 Digital Input. If there is no 24 V supply to
terminal 27, [Hand On] does not start the motor. Connect terminal 12 to terminal 27.
14
[O /Reset]: Stops the motor (O ). If in alarm mode, the alarm is reset.
15
[Auto On]: The drive is controlled either via control terminals or serial communication.
4.2 Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA)
Via running AMA in VVC+ mode, the drive builds a mathematical model of the motor to optimize compatibility between
drive and motor, and thus enhances the motor control performance.
Procedure:
1. Set motor data according to the motor nameplate.
2. If needed, set motor cable length in parameter 1-42 Motor Cable Length.
3. Select [1] Enable Complete AMA or [2] Enable Reduced AMA in parameter 1-29 Automatic Motor Adaption (AMA), and press
[Hand On] to activate the AMA function. After a normal sequence, the display shows: Press [OK] to nish AMA.
4. Press [OK], then the drive is ready for operation.
