WARNING  

ƒ

 

The STOP function does not remove potentially lethal high voltages. ISOLATE the drive and 

wait 10 minutes before starting any work on it 

ƒ

 

Parameter P-01 can be set to operate the motor at up to 3,000 rpm, hence use this parameter 

with care 

ƒ

 

If it is desired to operate the drive at any frequency/speed above the rated speed (P-09/ P-10) 

of the motor, consult the manufacturers of the motor and the driven machine about suitability 
for over-speed operation 

ƒ

 

The fan (if fitted) to the heatsink of the Optidrive starts automatically when the heatsink 

temperature reaches approximately 40ºC. When the heatsink is at room temperature the fan 
will be stopped. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 

Optidrives can be installed side-by-side with their heatsink 
flanges touching. This gives adequate ventilation space between 
them. If the Optidrive is to be installed above another drive or 
any other heat-producing device, the minimum vertical spacing 
is 100mm. The enclosure should either be force-ventilated or 
large enough to allow natural cooling (allow 0.1 m

3

 per kW of 

drive rating).  
 

GROUNDING (EARTHING) 

The ground terminal of each Optidrive should be individually 
connected DIRECTLY to the site earth (ground) busbar (through 
the filter if installed) as shown. Optidrive ground connections 
should not loop from one drive to another, or to, or from any 
other equipment. Ground loop impedance must conform to local 
industrial safety regulations. To meet UL regulations, UL 
approved ring crimp terminals should be used for all earth wiring 
connections. 

EASY START-UP 

When delivered, the Optidrive is in the default state, 
meaning that it is set to operate in terminal mode and 
all parameters (P-xx) have the default values as 
shown overleaf.  

ƒ

 

Connect a control switch between the control 

terminals 1 and 2.  

ƒ

 

Connect a potentiometer (500 

Ω

 min to 10 k

Ω

 max) 

between terminals 5 and 7, and wiper to terminal 6. 

ƒ

 

Set the control switch between pins 1 and 2 open 

so that the drive is ‘disabled’.  

ƒ

 

With the potentiometer set to zero, switch on the 

supply to the drive. The display will show StoP. 

ƒ

 

Close the control switch, terminals 1-2. The drive is 

now ‘enabled’ and the output frequency/speed are 
controlled by the potentiometer. The display shows 
zero speed in Hz (H  0.0) with the potentiometer 
turned to minimum. 

ƒ

 

Turn the potentiometer to maximum. The motor will 

accelerate to 50Hz (the default value of P-01) under 
the control of the accelerating ramp time P-03.  The 
display shows  H  50.0 (50Hz) at max speed.  

ƒ

 

To display motor current (A), briefly press the 

Navigate key  

ƒ

 

Press 

 again to return to speed display. 

ƒ

 

To stop the motor, either turn the potentiometer back 

to zero or disable the drive by opening the control 
switch (terminals 1-2).  

 

If the enable/disable switch is opened the drive will 

decelerate to stop at which time the display will show 

StoP. If the potentiometer is turned to zero and the 

enable/disable is closed the display will show 0.0Hz, if 

left like this for 20 seconds the drive will go into 

standby mode, display shows Stndby, waiting for a 

speed reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Safety of machinery, and safety-critical applications 

Optidrive hardware and software are designed and tested to a high standard and failures are 
unlikely.  

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) 

 

Optidrive is designed to high standards of EMC. EMC data is provided in a separate EMC 
Data Sheet, available on request. Under extreme conditions, the product might cause or 
suffer disturbance due to electromagnetic interaction with other equipment. It is the 
responsibility of the installer to ensure that the equipment or system into which the product 
is incorporated complies with the EMC legislation of the country of use. Within the European 
Union, equipment into which this product is incorporated must comply with 89/336/EEC, 
Electromagnetic Compatibility. 
When installed as recommended in this User Guide, the radiated emissions levels of all 
Optidrives are less than those defined in the Generic radiated emissions standard EN61000-
6-4. When fitted with an optional internal filter, the conducted emission levels are less than 
those defined in the Generic radiated emissions standard EN61000-6-3 (class B) for 
screened cable lengths of < 1m and with EN61000-6-4 (class A) for screened cable lengths of 
< 5m. 

SIMPLE PARAMETER ADJUSTMENTS 

The factory-set default parameter values may give 
satisfactory performance, however certain adjustments 
may be beneficial. 

Maximum and Minimum

 

Speeds

 P-01 & P-02 

Set P-01 to the maximum speed and P-02 to the 
minimum speed for your application. These limits are 
mirrored for negative speeds. If a non-zero minimum 
speed is set in P-02, the motor will ramp (P-03) to this 
minimum speed as soon as the drive is enabled.  

Acceleration and Deceleration

 P-03 & P04 

Ramps which are too short will cause the drive to deliver 
currents in excess of full load current and may result in 
it tripping out or the motor stalling 

Stop Mode

 P-05 

Select method of stopping required when drive is 
disabled. Ramp to stop (P-05 = 0) decelerates the motor 
at the rate set by deceleration ramp time P-04. 
Freewheel/ Coast to stop (P-05=1) disables the drive 
output immediately, allowing the motor to decelerate 
naturally due to friction or under the control of a 
mechanical brake 

Torque/Speed Characteristic

 P-06 

Certain loads such as fans and centrifugal pumps need 
very little torque at low speed. Set P-06=1 to reduce 
power loss at low speeds for this load type.  

Rated Current, Rated Frequency and Rated Speed

 P-08, 

P-09, P-10. 
Parameters P-08 and P-09 should to be set to 
correspond with the rated current and frequency shown 
on the motor rating plate.  
Parameter P-10 is optional. If this parameter is set to 
zero (default state), speed will be displayed in Hz; if 
speed indication is required in rpm, enter the motor 
rated speed (speed at full load) from the motor rating 
plate.  

Voltage Boost

 P-11 

Any load which is ‘sticky’ to start will benefit from a 
voltage boost on starting. P-11 permits a boost of up to 
25% of full motor voltage to be applied. 
NOTE: Use of this parameter increases motor heating at 
low speeds 

Terminal or Keypad Control

 P-12 

Terminal control (P-12=0) is used when the drive needs 
to be controlled from some remote point,  such as a 
control panel interface or machine system. 
Keypad control (P12=1 or 2) is used for local, manual 
control and commissioning 

Extended Parameter Set

 P15 to P-40 and P-00 

The Extended Parameter Set is intended for use by 

specialist drives engineers and technicians and will not 

generally be required for simple applications.
