4. MOUNTING
• Choosing a Location to Mount the Inverter
Be sure the inverter is protected from the following conditions:
• Extreme cold and heat. Use only within the ambient temperature range (for open
chassis type): 14 to 122°F (-10 to +50°C)
• Rain, moisture.
• Salt spray.
• High humidity.
• Radioactive substances.
35
• Mounting Dimensions
Clearances as shown below are required when mounting the VS mini.
36
• Mounting/Removing Components
Removing and Mounting Digital Operator and Covers
• Removing front cover
Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw on
the front cover surface to direction 1 to
remove it. Then press the right and left
sides to direction 2 and lift the front cover
to direction 3.
• Mounting front cover
Insert the tab of the upper part of the front
cover into the groove of the inverter. Press
the lower part of front cover onto the
plastic case until the cover snaps shut.
Tighten the screws.

5. WIRING
• Wiring Instructions
(1) Always connect the power supply via a molded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) to the
power input terminals R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3 (R/L1, S/L2 for single-phase). Never
connect the power supply to U/T1, V/T2, W/T3,-,+1 or +2.
The single-phase (200V class) inverter can be connected to a 200V 3-phase input.
However, when a single-phase supply is used, never use the terminal T/L3 for other
purposes.

Connect to R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 Connect to R/L1, S/L2 Connect to R/L1, S/L2, T/L3
(2) Connect the motor wiring to terminals U, V, and W on the main circuit output side
(bottom of the inverter).
(3) If the wiring distance between inverter and motor is long, reduce the inverter
carrier frequency. For details, refer to “Reducing motor noise or leakage current
(n46)” on page 79.
(4) Control wiring must be less than 164ft(50m) in length and separate from the power
wiring. Use twisted-pair shielded wire when inputting the frequency signal
externally.
(5) Tighten the screws on the main circuit and control circuit terminals.
(6) Do not connect or disconnect wiring, or perform signal checks while the power
supply is turned ON.

(5) If motor rated current (n32) > 150% of inverter rated current
57
• Selecting V/f pattern
Adjusting torque according to application
Adjust motor torque by using “V/f pattern” and “full-range automatic torque boost”.
• V/f pattern setting
Set V/f pattern by parameters n09 to n15 as described below. Set each pattern when
using a special motor (high-speed motor, etc.) or when requiring special torque
adjustment of machine.
Be sure to satisfy the following conditions for
the setting of n09 to n15.
n14 < n12 < n11 < n09
If n14 = n12, the set value of n13 is disabled.

• Typical setting of V/f pattern
Set the V/f pattern according to the application as described below. For 400V class,
the voltage values (n10, n13, and n15) should be doubled. When running at a
frequency exceeding 50Hz/60Hz, change the maximum output frequency (n09).
Note: Be sure to set the maximum output frequency according to the motor
characteristics.
Increasing voltage of V/f pattern increases motor torque, but excessive increase may
cause motor over excitation, motor overheat, or vibration.
59
When operating with frequency larger than 60Hz/50Hz, change only maximum output
frequency (n09).

71
The following time chart shows FWD/REV run switching at deceleration to a stop.
Overtorque detection
If an excessive load is applied to the machine, output current increase can be detected
to output alarm signals to multi-function output terminals MA and MB.
To output an overtorque detection signal, set output terminal function selection n40 to
“overtorque detection” [Setting:6 (NO contact) or 7 (NC contact)].
∗ Overtorque detection release width (hysterisis) is set at approx. 5% of inverter rated current.
72

(1) To detect overtorque at accel/decel, set to 3 or 4.
(2) To continue the operation after overtorque detection, set to 1 or 3.
During detection, the operator displays “ ” alarm (blinking).
(3) To halt inverter by a fault at overtorque detection, set to 2 or 4. At detection, the
operator displays “ ” fault (ON).
• Overtorque detection level (n60)
Sets the overtorque detection current level in units of 1%. (Inverter rated current =
100%)
Factory setting: 160%
• Overtorque detection time (n61)
If the time when the motor current exceeds the overtorque detection level (n61),
the overtorque detection function operates.
Factory setting: 0.1sec.
73
Frequency detection (n58)
Effective when the multi-function output terminal MA-MB-MC (parameter n40) is set
to “frequency detection” (setting: 4 or 5). “Frequency detection” turns ON when output
frequency is higher or lower than the frequency detection level (n58).
• Frequency detection 1 (Output frequency > Frequency detection level n58)
(Set n40 to “4”.)
74
Jump frequencies (n49 to n51)
This function allows the prohibit or “jumping” of critical frequencies so that the motor
can operate without resonance caused by machine characteristics. This function is also
used for dead band control. Setting the value to 0.00Hz disables this function.
Set prohibited frequency 1, 2 or as follows:
75
Starting into a rotating motor - Tripless Operation
To start into a coasting motor without trip, use the speed search command or DC
injection braking at start.
• Speed search command
Speed matches into a coasting motor upon starting without stopping the motor.
This function enables smooth switching between motor commercial power supply
operation and inverter operation.
Set input terminal function selection (n36 to n39) to “14” (search command from
maximum output frequency) or “15” (search command from set frequency).
Build a sequence so that FWD (REV) run command is input at the same time as the
search command or after the search command. If the run command is input before
the search command, the search command becomes disabled.
• Time chart at search command input
76
Accel/Decel Hold
To hold acceleration or deceleration, use a multi-function input that is set to a value of
“16: Accel/Decel Hold. The output frequency is kept constant when the accel/decel
hold command is input during acceleration or deceleration.
When the run command is removed during an accel/decel hold condition, accel/decel
hold is internally released and operation ramps to stop.
Set multi-function input terminal selection (n36 to n39) to 16 (accel/decel hold
command).
Note: When the FWD (REV) run command is input along with the accel/decel hold com-
mand, the motor does not operate. However, when frequency reference lower limit
(n31) is set greater than or equal to minimum output frequency (n14), the motor
operates at frequency reference lower limit (n31).
77
Using a frequency meter or ammeter (n44)
Determines whether output frequency or output current is indicated on the analog
output terminals, AM-AC, for monitoring.
Setting Description

80
Operator stop key selection (n06)
Selects whether the “STOP” key on the digital operator is effective when operating the
inverter by an external source (input terminals or serial communications).
Setting Description
STOP key effective when running either from multi-function input terminals or communications.
When STOP key is pressed, the inverter stops according to the setting of parameter n04. At this
0 time, the digital operator displays “ ” alarm (blinking). This stop command is held in the
inverter until both forward and reverse run commands are open, or until run command from
communications becomes zero.
STOP key is ineffective when running either from multi-function input terminals or
1
communications.
81
• Selecting Stopping Method
Selecting stopping method (n04)
Selects the stopping method when the run command is removed.
Setting Description
0 Deceleration to stop
1 Coast to stop
Upon removal of the FWD (REV) run command, the motor decelerates at the decel rate
determined by the time set to decel time 1 (n17) and DC injection braking is applied
immediately before stop. DC injection braking is also applied when the motor
decelerates by setting the frequency reference lower than minimum output frequency
while the(n14) with FWD (REV) run command remains ON.
If the decel time is short or the load inertia is large, an over voltage (OV) fault may
occur during deceleration. In this case, increase the decel time.
82
• Coast to stop (n04=1)
Upon removal of the FWD (REV) run command, the motor starts coasting.
When coast to a stop is selected as the stopping method selection (n04), DC injection
braking at stop does not operate.

Time Chart at UP/DOWN Command Input
Notes:
(1) When UP/DOWN command is selected, the upper limit speed is set regardless of frequency
reference.
Upper limit speed = Maximum output frequency (n09)
x Frequency reference upper limit (n030)/100
(2) Lower limit value is either minimum output frequency (n14) or Maximum output frequency
(n09) x frequency reference lower limit (n31)/100% (whichever is greater).
(3) When the FWD (REV) run command is input, operation starts at the lower limit speed without an
UP/DOWN command.
(4) If the jog command is input while running by the UP/DOWN command, the jog command has
priority.
(5) Multi-step speed reference 1 to 3 is not effective when UP/DOWN command is selected. Multi-
step speed reference is effective during running in hold status.
(6) When “1” is set for HOLD output frequency memory selection (n62), output frequency can be
recorded during HOLD.

• Setting Frequency by Current Reference Input
When setting frequency by inputting
current reference (4-20mA or 0-20mA)
from the control circuit terminal FR,
switch the DIP switch SW8 on the control
circuit board to “I” side.
SW8 is accessed by removing the
terminal cover.

Current reference selection
After changing DIP switch (SW8) to the “I” side, PRESS PRGM on the digital
operator, then set the following parameters.
4-20mA…n03 = 3
0-20mA…n03 = 4
Press the digital operator keys to run or stop
the inverter. Switch run and stop direction by
setting F/R LED.
Set frequency by the analog current signal
[0-100% (max frequency)/4-20mA or 0-
20mA] connected to the control circuit
terminal.
Frequency reference gain (n41)/bias (n42) can be set even when current reference input
is selected. For details, refer to “Adjusting speed setting signal” on page 69.

• Preventing Motor from Stalling (Current Limit)
This function automatically limits the output current in response to load changes by
adjusting the output frequency to prevent motor stalling.
• Stall prevention (current limit) level during acceleration (n56)
Sets the stall prevention (current limit) level during acceleration in units of 1%
(Inverter rated current = 100%).
Factory setting: 170%
A setting of 200% disables the stall prevention (current limit) during acceleration.
During acceleration, if the output current exceeds the value set for n56, acceleration
stops and frequency is maintained. When the output current goes down to the value set
for n56, acceleration continues.
*
In the constant horsepower area [output frequency > max. voltage output frequency
(n11)], following equation automatically decreases the stall prevention (current limit)
level during acceleration.
*Note: The lower limit of the stall prevention level is 40% of the level set in n56.
91
• Stall prevention (current limit) level during running (n57)
Sets the stall prevention (current limit) level during running in units of 1% (Inverter
current = 100%).
Factory setting: 160%
A setting of 200% disables the stall prevention (current limit) during running.
If the output current during speed agree exceeds the value set for n57 for longer than
100msec, deceleration starts.
As long as the output current exceeds the value set for n57 deceleration continues.
When the output current goes below the value set for n57, acceleration begins to the set
frequency.
The accel/decel rates during stall prevention are determined by the accel time (n16 or
n18) and decel time (n17 or n19) that is selected at the time of the stall prevention
condition.
92
• Decreasing Motor Speed Fluctuation
Slip compensation
As the load becomes larger, rotor speed is reduced as motor slip increases. The slip
compensating function regulates the motor shaft speed as the load increases by
increasing the output frequency.
When inverter output current is equal to the motor rated current (n32), the
compensation frequency is added to the output frequency.

selection
The electronic thermal overload function calculates motor temperature, based on
inverter output current and time, to protect the motor from overheating. When the
electronic thermal overload relay is enabled and excessive current is flowing to the
motor, an “ ” error occurs, shutting OFF the inverter output and preventing
excessive overheating in the motor. When operating with one inverter connected to one
motor, an external thermal relay is not needed. When operating several motors with
one inverter, install a thermal relay on each motor and disable the electronic overload
protection (n33=2).
94
• General-purpose motor and inverter motor
Induction motors are classified as general-purpose motors (limited speed range) or
inverter motors (wide speed range), based on their cooling capabilities. Therefore,
the motor overload function operates differently between these two motor types.
95
• Selecting Cooling Fan Operation
In order to increase fan life, the cooling fan can be set to operate when inverter is
running or when power is supplied.
n35 = 0 (factory setting) : Operates only when inverter is running.

CE Conformance - Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Compliance
In order to conform to EMC standards, exclusive-use methods are required for line
filter application, cable shielding and inverter installation. An outline of the methods
follows.
The line filter and the inverter must be mounted on the same metal plate. The filter
should be mounted as close to the inverter as practical. Keep cable as short as possible.
The metal plate should be securely grounded. The ground of the line filter and inverter
must be bonded to the metal plate with as much area as possible.
For line power input cable, screened cable is recommended at least within the panel.
The screen of the cable should be connected to a solid ground. For the motor cable,
screened cable (max. 20m) must be used and the screen of the motor cable is connected
to ground at both ends by a short connection, using as large an area as practical.
For a more detailed explanation, please refer to Making YASKAWA Inverter Products
Conform with EMC Directive (G-TI#99012-V7).

Safety Warnings and Operating Information for Inverters
Introduction
Depending on their protection rating configuration, parts of inverters can have live, uninsulated and
hot surfaces during operation. If housing components, the control unit or terminal covers are
removed, incorrect installation and operation can lead to serious injuries and damage to other
installations. It is thus absolutely essential to observe all the warnings and instructions in the
operating manual. Installation, setup and maintenance should only be performed by properly
qualified staff. IEC 364 / Cenelec HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC 664 or DIN VDE. The
applicable national safety and accident prevention regulations must also be observed.) For the
purpose of observance of the safety requirement qualified staff are defined as individuals who are
familiar with the installation, setup and operation of the converters and who have the proper
qualifications for this work.
Installation
The converters must be installed and cooled in compliance with the regulations outlines and referred
to in the documentation. The cooling air flow direction is an important requirement that must be
observed. This means that the unit may only be installed and operated in the specified orientation (e.g.
upright). All distances specified must also be observed. The converters must be protected against
excessive stresses. No components may be bent and no distances required for proper insulation may
be changed. To prevent the risk of static electricity damage never touch electronic components or
contacts.
Electrical connections
All national safety regulations (e.g. VBG 4) must be observed when working on live equipment. The
electrical installation of the units must conform to the applicable regulations. For further information
please refer to the documentation. In particular, please take care to observe all installation instructions
regarding proper EMC immunity, e.g. for shielding, earthing, location of filters and cable routing.
This also applies for equipment with CE approvals. Compliance with the EMC legislation limits is the
responsibility of the machine or system manufacturer.
RCCBs
For information on the use of RCCBs with inverters please contact your supplier or Yaskawa
representative.
Operation
In some systems it may be necessary to install additional monitoring and protective facilities to
comply with the applicable safety and accident prevention regulations. The only changes permitted
are to the operator software of the inverters. Please note that the capacitors can remain charged for up
to around 5 minutes after the frequency converter has been disconnected from the power supply. You
should thus always wait for a short period before opening the unit and touching the electrical
connections.
