Menu item
Description
Corresponding
parameter
Control mode
Selects whether to use scalar or vector control
mode.
For information on scalar control mode, see
For information on vector
control mode, see
on page
Nominal values
Enter the motor's nominal values from the motor's
nameplate.

Thermal protection
estimated
The settings in this submenu are meant to protect
the motor from overheating by automatically
triggering a fault or warning above a certain
temperature.
By default, motor thermal estimate protection is on.
We recommend checking the values for the
protection to function properly.
For more information, see

.
Thermal protection
measured
The settings in this submenu are meant to protect
the motor with a thermal measurement from
overheating by automatically triggering a fault or
warning above a certain temperature.
For more information, see
on page
.
Start mode:
Sets how the drive starts the motor (e.g. pre-
magnetize or not).
Flux braking:
Sets how much current to use for braking, ie. how
the motor is magnetized before starting. For more
information, see
on page
U/f ratio:
The form of voltage to frequency ratio below field
weakening point. For more information, see
on page
IR compensation:
Sets how much to boost voltage at zero speed.
Increase this for higher break-away torque. For
more information, see
Pre-heating
Turns pre-heating on or off. The drive can prevent
condensation in a stopped motor by feeding it a
fixed current (% of motor nominal current). Use in
humid or cold conditions to prevent condensation.
Phase order:
If the motor turns in the wrong direction, change
this setting to fix the direction instead of changing
the phase order on the motor cable.
