Product Specific Precautions
WARNING
High voltages capable of causing severe
injury or death by electrical shock are
present in this unit.
•
Do not remove VFD cover for wiring or periodic in-
spections while power is applied, or the unit is in
operation.
•
Capacitors inside the drive can still hold lethal volt-
age even after power has been disconnected—AL-
LOW 5 MINUTES FOR DANGEROUS INTERNAL
VOLTAGE TO DISCHARGE BEFORE REMOVING COV-
ER OR WORKING WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
•
Perform wiring after VFD has been mounted. Other-
wise, 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.
CAUTION
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 disconnect-
ing 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 auto-
matically start VFD in some applications. Disable
these parameters if automatic start is not safe for
personnel 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 hazardous conditions if VFD fails dur-
ing operation.

NOTICE
Risk of damage to drive or other equipment.
•
Install and wire VFD according to the instructions in
this manual.
•
Take protective measures against ESD (Electrostatic
Discharge) before touching control boards during in-
spection, 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 mo-
tor overload protection.
•
Do not modify VFD internal components and circuits.
•
The use of any disconnecting device (contactor, dis-
connect 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.
•
This product is recommended for use with Franklin
Electric 4-inch and 6-inch submersible motors or
above-ground centrifugal motors. Use of this unit
with any other Franklin Electric motor or with motors
from other manufacturers may result in damage to
both motor and electronics.
•
In applications where water delivery is critical, a re-
placement pressure sensor and/or back-up system
should be readily available if the drive fails to oper-
ate as intended.
•
If a Corner-Grounded Delta power supply is used, all
EMC jumpers at J10 and J11 must be removed to pre-
vent drive damage.
•
If an Open Delta Power Supply is used, the drive
must be derated by 50% to prevent drive damage
and fault tripping. Refer to Incoming Power Supply
on page 23.
