Checking the insulation of the assembly

Do not make any voltage tolerance or insulation resistance tests (for example hi-pot or megger) on any part of the drive as testing can
damage the drive. Every drive has been tested for insulation between the main circuit and the chassis at the factory. Also, there are
voltage-limiting circuits inside the drive which cut down the testing voltage automatically.

Mounting
Warning! The unit will warm up to high temperature during normal operation. Ensure sufficient cooling air flow in all conditions:
- Always install ACS55 so that cooling fans are vertical.
- Leave sufficient space around frame A and B units. Frame C and D units are fan cooled, so they can be installed side by side without
extra space between them.

Install the unit using the mounting clip on a 35 mm DIN rail or on a wall.

DIP switches
DIP switches are used to adapt ACS55 to the motor and the application.
Warning! The DIP switch is at a dangerous voltage (200 V). Turn off power and wait for 5 minutes before adjusting the switches.
Keep the protective cover closed when ACS55 is powered.

Configuration
• Open the front cover using the tip of a screwdriver, and adjust the DIP switches.
• Use the tip of a screwdriver to slide the switch to the left or right. By default, all switches are in their left position.
• Close the front cover.

2 SILENT Defines the drive switching frequency. Note: The higher the frequency the more electromagnetic UN

regulations. See Technical data on page 19. Note: The switching frequency adapts to
the ACS55 temperature.

ACS55 automatically boosts the starting voltage 10% to compensate the motor losses and to
increase the starting torque.
4 JOG Hz Defines the jogging frequency. Activate the jogging function on by connecting 12…24 VDC to digital input 3 ("JOG").
(Drive accelerates or decelerates to the jogging frequency, and keeps it until the input is switched off.)
5 RELAY Selects the drive state the normally open contact of the relay output indicates. FLT = Fault. Contact is opened while
at a fault state or at a power off state. RUN = Running. Contact is closed while running.
6 AI Activates a living zero supervision for the analogue input. 4 mA (2 V) = ACS55 trips on a fault if the value
OFFSET drops below the limit. See section Speed controlling on page 17 for information on analogue input scaling.
7 AUTO- Activates the automatic reset function for the following faults: Undervoltage, overvoltage, analogue input loss.
RESET ON = ACS55 will try to reset automatically three seconds after a fault trip. Maximum number of resets is ten in three
minutes. If exceeded, ACS55 stops and will not attempt a new reset. See also Status indications and fault tracing
on page 18.
Warning! If the start signal is on, the motor will be started after a reset. Make sure that this will not cause danger.
8 HI FREQ Defines the maximum output frequency. OFF: Max. frequency = value defined by the NOM FREQ HZ switch. ON:
Max. frequency = value defined by the NOM FREQ HZ switch + value of HI FREQ potentiometer. See
Control potentiometers on page 13.

For more information, see DriveConfig User’s Guide [3AFE68910897 (English)].

13 EN
Control potentiometers
The control potentiometers can be adjusted using a screwdriver. By default, all potentiometers are in their middle position.
MOTOR I Calculate MOTOR I NOM with the equation below or pick a value from the MOTOR I NOM selection chart
NOM below. ACS55 estimates the temperature of the motor based on the measured output current and the
defined motor nominal current. The drive trips if the estimated temperature implies motor overheating.
Note: If motor cables are long causing large capacitive currents, it might be necessary to increase the
MOTOR I NOM setting.

MOTOR I NOM (%) = • 100%
ACS55 nominal current [A]

ACC/DEC Defines the acceleration and deceleration time from minimum to maximum frequency and vice versa in
seconds. The longer the ACC/DEC time, the more slowly ACS55 will follow the given reference.

HI FREQ Limits the output frequency to a desired value between nominal frequency and nominal frequency + 70 Hz.
To use this potentiometer, turn the high frequency mode on with the HI FREQ DIP switch. See DIP
switches on page 11.

Motor
The motor must be a 3-phase AC induction motor, with nominal voltage UN from 200 to 240 V and nominal

Additional cabling and EMC instructions
Follow these instructions for trouble free operation and to ensure compatibility with the European EMC directive.
Motor cable
The motor cable must be a symmetrical three conductor cable with a concentric PE conductor or a four conductor cable with a
concentric shield. Braided metallic screen is recommended, e.g. type MCCMK (NK Cables).
- Twist the cable screen wires together into a bundle, and connect to the earthing terminal . Keep the bundle as short as possible.
- Clamp the cable screen as shown in the figure when internal or external EMC filter is used.
- At the motor end the motor cable screens must be earthed 360 degrees with an EMC cable gland or the screen wires must be twisted
together into a bundle not longer than 5 times its width and connected to the PE terminal of the motor.
Control cables
Control cables must be multi-core cables with a braided copper wire screen.
A double shielded twisted pair cable is recommended for the analogue
signals.
- Twist the screen together into a bundle and connect to terminal SCR. Keep
the bundle as short as possible.
- Clamp the control cable as shown in the figure (EMC units only).
- Route the motor cable away from the control wires and the power supply
cable to avoid electromagnetic interference (distance > 20 cm).
Note: Never mix 24 VDC and 115/230 VAC signals in the same cable.
