 FOX SERIES INTRODUCTION

In spite of its compact dimensions, the inverter FOX has several control features. When installed between mains and
motor, the inverter will increase their performance by offering a long continuous service that will result in saving.

FOX

The main characteristic of the FOX inverter is its efficient and flexible control of motor speed. In this way, the
asynchronous motor can be used in a wider range of applications, with a more regular rotation and a significant reduction of
noise compared to the older inverters.

The FOX inverter can be used not only in the industrial field, e.g. machines, conveyor belts, etc., but also in the civil
field where its good performance and noiseless operation are essential features for its use.

- High torques at low revolution number

The FOX inverter produces high torques at low revolution number without discontinuity thanks to the automatism that,
being activated from 0.1 Hz, assures a safe start of the motor .

- Noise disappearance

With the FOX inverter, those annoying noises typical of the older inverters will never be heard. The noiseless operation
of the inverter is due to a proper method of creating the waveform of the voltage that supplies the motor.

- Continuity of operation in power failure state

In case of temporary power failure, the FOX inverter stops and starts again, and keeps the preset control
characteristics without having to stop the motor.

- Easy operation

A panel consisting of four keys, one display with four 7-segment digits and three leds allows you to easily operate the
FOX inverter.
The display and the keys allow you to change all the inverter parameters so as to make it suitable to all applications.
The display also shows the values controlled, e.g. frequency or current, and the error codes in case of improper operation.
A programming key device allows to copy the preset control characteristic of the inverter for transferring parameters
from and to or between inverters.
Besides being controlled from panel, the FOX inverter can be easily remote controlled and programmed through series
connection by means of a proper communication protocol.
However, the run, stop, speed reversal and change operations are performed, as usual, through terminal board.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOX SERIES

General safety instructions

Throughout the text, the following Danger symbols indicate paragraphs containing particular instructions that must be
carefully read so as to assure safety conditions to users:

This warns the user about the presence of a dangerous voltage. It indicates the presence of High
Voltage conditions that can cause serious damages or even death.

This indicates a general danger or very important operation notes.

Warnings

l Electrical devices can represent a risk source for personnel safety. It is therefore necessary to know all usage
methods and unit control devices perfectly before using the machine.

l The machine should then be used by skilled personnel only, aware of the installation and operation rules, in
compliance with the safety and protection standards, and able to interpret all danger warnings.
The capacitors contained in the machine have dangerous high voltages. After cutting power off, you should wait
at least 5 minutes before performing any operation.
With stopped motor, dangerous voltages can be present on the entire power terminal board:
terminals L1, L2, L3, U, V, W.

l In particular adjustment programming conditions, after a power failure, the machine could start automatically.

Warranty and Notes on The warranty conditions valid at purchase time will be applied.
Responsibilities Any responsibility will be declined for damages occurring during
transportation or unpacking.

The unit is designed for motor speed control only. Do not use it for other applications.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damages deriving from improper use or installation or inadeguate ambient conditions,
as well as for damages due to improper rated values.
Nor will, the manufacturer be responsible for consequential or accidental damages.

No intervention has to be perfomed on parts inside the machine: when installing, just remove the terminal board cover panel.
Any tampering or use of spare parts or other parts not supplied by the manufacturer, besides making the warranty void, may
cause damages and/or serious accidents.

The warranty will cover a period of 24 months after delivery to the final user and, in any case, will not last more than 36 months
from delivery by SIRCO, if not otherwise indicated in the sale conditions.

 FOX SERIES PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The FOX inverters are converters with D.C. intermediate circuit. When connected with a common single or threephase mains,
they produce a threephase, variable-frequency, A.C. voltage, used to control the speed of threephase asynchronous motors.

The control circuit has a microprocessor properly programmed.

The control keyboard allows the user to easiliy and quickly enter any parameter necessary for the required working conditions.

The threephase, variable frequency, alternate voltage, controlled by microprocessor, is delivered to the motor through a power
module which uses the most recent IGBT technology.
The use of microprocessor, IGBT technology and modulation frequency programming, assures an extremely accurate and
silent operation.

The software, properly developed for power electronics, allows for an accurate and quick control of motor speed, start and stop
times which can be independently adjusted, and other operation conditions:

l Speed control as a function of the load is by current adjustment, thus allowing for automatic adjustment to process.

l Automatic boost that allows for a safe start of the motor by acting on the torque as a function of the load. Presence
of high torques and rotation evenness at very low frequencies too.

l Direct current braking, with programmable duration and value, allowing for a comfortable motor stop.

l Presence of a PID-type inner regulator, which can be freely configured, to control the motor speed and/or torque.

l Presence of a standard series line, with programmable transmission modes, to remote program and/or control the
converter.

Further, the unit is provided with two programmable relay outputs and two programmable opto-insulated digital outputs, for
alarms and machine state signalling. It also has an analog output that indicates, through selection, the trend of the main values
of the inverter.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOX SERIES

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

In order to obtain a safe operation of the unit, assembly and start-up should be performed by skilled person
nel only, according to the general regulations concerning safety conditions when working with high currents
or voltages.

Mechanical installation
Removal of the heat produced by the inverter is performed by ventilating with natural air flow, in low power models, and
by means of fan in all other models.
When assembling, leave a space of at least 40 mm. from the sides and 150 mm. above and below the inverter, so as
to assure a free circulation of the cooling air. In case of stacking of more units, leave a vertical space of at least 300
mm. between them.
The site should assure the ventilation air is free from dust or corrosive gases, otherwise a regular cleaning of the co-
oling surfaces must be performed. Avoid, in any case, the condensation of the sprayed fluids. The ambient humidity
should never exceed 90%.
In working conditions, the temperature inside the cabinet should never exceed 40 C. If it should, it will be necessary
to perform a derating of the unit or a forced ventilation so as to avoid air stagnation.

Warning: When calculating the overall dimensions, also consider the space required for installation of anti-
noise filters.
Electrical installation
The inverters are designed to operate in an industrial environment where high levels of electro-magnetic disturbance must
be expected. Good installation practice usually ensure trouble-free operation, however it is suggested that a good earth
connection and RFI filters should be used. The RFI filters ensure a reduction of radiated or conducted interference when the
inverter is in a interference sensible environment.
To connect the inverter, just remove the cover which protects the power and control terminal boards.
The FOX series is designed both for 220V / 240V single phase or three phase supply (FOX2M004...2T022 ) and 380V
/ 460V three phase supply (FOX4T008...4T110 ).
For supply cables, we recommend using two-wire (phase + neutral) shielded cable or four-wire (the three phases+earth)
shielded cable, with the earth cable external but parallel to the shield; dimensionning must consider a V on cable not
more than 5% of mains voltage as per EN60204-1.
The same cable can be used for motor connection too. The cable length should never exceed 30 m. If it should, use
additional inductances, series-connected with cables, to balance the parasitic capacities. In this case, a reduction of mo-
tor voltage can be noticed.

Warning: The inverter supply must be protected by means of fuses or automatic switch.

Make sure the cables are properly connected and, in particular, check that the earth connection is correctly locked. In case
of shielded supply cables, connect the shield with the G(EARTH) terminal on drive and motor side.
The power cables must be kept separate from the signal cables. The standards require the use of separate raceways.
For control cables, use a shielded cable with a section of at least 0.5 mm 2. The shield should be connected with
PE (0V, terminal 16) on drive side only.
For connection of reference signals or serial line, use twisted cables.
Connect spark quenching units in parallel to relay coils, solenoid valves, remote control switches located near the unit, as
suggested on the following table:

REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH CHARACTERISTICS OF SPARK QUENCHING UNIT

OR SOLENOID VALVE TYPE

220 V, 240 V > 30 A 0.5 uF + 100 Ohm 1/2 W 250 V

220 V, 240 V < 30 A 0.1 uF + 100 Ohm 1/2 W 250 V

380, 460 V 0.5 uF + 100 Ohm 1/2 W 1000 V

Warning: The protection circuit failure towards earth must ONLY protect the inverter against failures
towards earth, occurring on the motor cable or on the motor itself. It is NOT designed to protect
people who accidentally touch the motor or the corresponding supplying cable.

It is forbidden: to connect PFC devices to output terminals between inverter and motor;
to connect capacitors between output terminals or output terminals and earth;

It is not advisable: to connect remote control switches to output terminals between inverter and motor.

FOX SERIES INSTALLATION - INSTRUCTIONS

WIRING HINT
Note: To connect the inverter it is necessary to conform to the following indications:

1 - Power supply wiring: only the three power wires must be shielded; the ground wire, which is obligatory, must
be external to the shield and run parallel to it.
2 - Both the inverter side and the motor or filter side of the shield must be grounded.
3 - The ferrite toroid must be put on the inverter side of the cable in a way to cover the part of the cable uncovered from
the shield.
4 - The power cables must be kept separated from the signal cables; it is forbidden to install power and signal cables in
the same conduit or duct. It is important to hold motor wiring as far as possible from the power supply wiring.
5 - Use high quality motors, with low parasitic capacities towards ground.

The input filter increases leak currents towards ground; so it is advisable use a overcurrent switch with a tripping current
not lower than 100 mA .

The following drawing shows the wiring method wich is in compliance with the standards.

OPERATION FOX SERIES

Before turning the inverter on, make sure the cover is locked in position. After each turning off,
CAUTION wait some minutes before opening the unit so as to allow the capacitors to discharge.
For safety reasons, at power on or after a reset due to an alarm, the inverter is factory-preset not to
start even with run control in active state. To start the motor, you should set the control first to OFF and then to ON (this
safety precaution can be intentionally cancelled through parameter b-03).

l Turning on

The inverter is not provided with a ON/OFF switch. This operation is performed by appliying the mains voltage. After voltage
application, the inverter performs a test. If an error is encountered during this test, the display will show the message Err
The display, consisting of four 7-segment digits, shows both letters and numbers. When turned on, it shows the output
frequency value ( 0Hz with stopped motor).
The inverter is factory-preset to control standard motors which operate with voltages and currents having values
corresponding to the inverter size.

l Run

1 - Connect a 4,7 kOhm potentiometer for speed reference (terminals 24, 25, 26).
2 - Connect two contacts for forward and backward run control (terminals 2, 1, and 7/8 ) as shown on page 6.
3 - Close the the run contact to start the motor . The motor is started at the frequency selected through the preset ramp
(5 seconds from 0 Hz to maximum frequency).

If the factory - preset values should be modified to adapt the inverter to the application, it can
ATTENTION be made through the control panel where the actual values can be displaied, then modified, and
then permanently stored.

l Stop

To stop the motor, proceed as follows:

- Disable the run control. In this way, the motor is stopped with factory-preset ramp (5 seconds from max. frequency
to 0 Hz).
- Or set to zero the speed reference potentiometer, so that the user has control over the motor stop.
Caution: in this case the motor is still live.

l The motor does not start

If after enabling the run control, the motor does not start, first check that the connections shown on page 6 have been
performed, then check that the factory-preset parameters meet the motor characteristics.
The parameters can be checked through the P menu. Press the M key until the P menu appears, then, through the keys,
select the code of the parameter with the value to be checked and press the E key to get its value. Important are the data of
the motor rating characteristics that can be set through the parameters P-01, P-02, P-09, P-11, P-12 (page 19).

When selecting the analog input, it is possible to change the formula that transforms the reference input signal into
the motor supply frequency through the following parameters:
P-14 determines the minimum frequency (offset); it can assume negative values too.
P-15 determines the gain.
b-04 enables the formula reversal (a minimum signal corresponds to a maximum frequency).

Let us assume that the input is a 0/10 Vvoltage analog signal:

In any case Fref. will always be limited between P-73 and P-01.

As a alternative to the above mentioned method, the frequency reference can be selected by re-calling some
frequencies preset through parameters F, by means of some contacts to be connected to 3 of the 5 digital input
corresponding to terminals 17, 18, 19, 20, 4 of the control terminal board (figures on page 8 and 9).
To do so, you must configure as a reference frequency switches, 3 of the 5 inputs with parameters, according to the
following order :P-39, P-40, P-41, P-42, P-43. These inputs state will give the result indicated on the following table:

The accuracy of f-encoder depends on the number of counted pulses: its value is 1/N-imp. At low speed, the accuracy could
be reduced.
Setting P-00=5 the f-encoder can be used as frequency reference, or as reference or feedback input of PID regulator.
The f-encoder value is on the display at position d-20 as frequency and at d-21 as speed. As 0/10 V analog signal, the f-encoder
value is available on the terminal board by presetting the corresponding analog output: P-48=11 (page 29).
The terminal board can signal the following: encoder rotation direction (in positive or negative logic), encoder stopped (no pulse

PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION FOX SERIES
Serial line

DESCRIPTION
The inverter can communicate with a remote controller through a RS-485 2-wire serial line. In this case, the inverter behaves
like a "slave", i.e. it answers on special controller request only (master). Up to 32 inverters can be parallel connected with
addresses set between 1 and 99 through P - 68.
The address 99 is a specialized one since it is expected that it will be used when it is necessary to send a code to all inverters
simultaneously; in this case the reception of the code is assured to all inverters regardless of the individual address, the
acknowledgement will be made only from the inverter with address 99.
The serial line allows reading and writing all the parameters, forcing the various controls by replacing the keyboard or the
terminal board, or forcing the I/O as in a PLC. The parameters involved are:

OPTIONS FOX SERIES
PROGRAMMING KEY [ code FOXPRG ]

The programming key device allows for transferring parameters from and to the FOX
inverter or between inverters.
The data are stored in a E2PROM type memory, so battery backup is not
necessary.
The switch put on upper front of the key allows to write protect the stored data.
To copy data from an inverter to the key or viceversa the keypad panel are used.

PROGRAMMING KEY: use method

- Parameter transmission from the key to the inverter:

- plug the key in the appropriate hole on the upper left hand side of the inverter keypad panel
- select the parameter C - 04, go to the code 7 press E.

If the key contains invalid parameters, the factory-preset parameters will be used and the message " Err" will be
displayed for 4 sec. Otherwise, data will be permanently stored and the confirmation message " done" will be displayed
for 2 sec.

- Parameter transmission from the inverter to the board:

- plug the key in the appropriate hole on the upper left hand side of the inverter keypad panel
- select the parameter C - 05, go to the code 7 press E.

If the key is write-protected, the control is interrupted and the message " off" is displayed for 4 sec. Otherwise, the
inverter parameters are stored on the key and, at the end of the operation, the message " done" will be displayed for 2
sec. to confirm the operation.

ENCODER Optional Board [ code FOXENC ]

The board is necessary to use an Encoder with the inverter. This little board is connected, under the cover, on the
left side of the keypad panel through two mini-connectors; it is not possible to reverse the placement; the two
microswitches must be directed towards the control terminal block. When ordering the inverter it is possible state the
intention to use the encoder: in this case the Encoder Board will be factory connected; otherwise it is possible order the
Encoder Board when needed but is mandatory that the mounting operation must be done by skilled personnel only,
aware of electronic installation rules.

FOX SERIES CONFORMITY
The FOX inverters are designed in accordance to all provisions of the Directive 89 / 336 / EEC and CE Marking requirements.

The aim of the Directive is to avoid the products causing harmful interference and, at the same time, to ensure that the products
will perform adequately and safely under electromagnetic interference.
The standards prevents devices from interferring to radio communication services other than induces malfunction on
equipment nearby the product one.

The FOX inverters are electrical equipments designed to control the speed of A.C. motors.They can be installed in cabinets,
joined together other parts to form a machinery, or installed inside a machinery.

The FOX inverters can be powered by an industrial AC mains source or by a residential one, but the inverter is not to be
considered a household tool so it cannot be installed nearby other household appliances.

Is responsibility of the end user, when installing the inverter, to be compliant with the EMC directives.

If the indicated prevention measures are implemented the inverter, normally, can be installed withouth problems concerning
EMI.
