0.5 Mains supply voltages
0.5 Mains supply voltages

The rated operating voltages stated in the following table are based on the
nominal values for networks with an earthed star point.
In ring networks (as found in Europe) the rated operating voltage at the
transfer point of the power supply companies is the same as the value in the
consumer networks (e.g. 230 V, 400 V).
In star networks (as found in North America), the rated operating voltage at
the transfer point of the utility companies is higher than in the consumer
network.
For example: 240 V → 230 V, 480 V → 460 V.
Accordingly, the DE1... variable speed starter’s wide tolerance range allows
for a permissible voltage drop of 10 % (i.e., ULN - 10%) and, in the 400-V
category, takes into account a North American mains voltage of
480 V + 10 % (60 Hz).
The permissible power supply for the DE1... series is listed in the technical
data section in the annex.
The rated mains voltage operational data is always based on mains
frequencies of 50/60 Hz within a range of 48 to 62 Hz.
0.6 Units of measurement

Every physical dimension included in this manual uses international metric
system units, otherwise known as SI (Système International d’Unités) units.

1.1 Introduction
1 DE1... series
1.1 Introduction
Ease of use and high reliability make PowerXL™ DE1... variable speed
starters the ideal choice for general applications involving three-phase
motors. These variable speed starters close the gap between conventional
DOL starters and variable frequency drives. In fact, they combine the
advantages of both device types in a single device by providing the ease of
use of a DOL starter and the variable motor speed of a variable frequency
drive. Among other things, this makes it possible to ensure a soft motor start
that uses configured time parameters to take a motor to a defined speed
with full torque while avoiding inrush current peaks, enabling users to
achieve the energy efficiency required for their applications (in compliance
with the ErP Directive). In addition to this, DE1... variable speed starters
feature variable speed control (U/f control), reversing duty capabilities
(reversing starter), controlled drive stopping based on configured time
parameters, and the option of easily switching between functions using
control signal terminals.
DE1... variable speed starters are characterized by a compact and heavy-duty
design and are available in two sizes and within a performance range of
0.25 kW (with 230 V) to 7.5 kW (with 400 V). They feature an integrated radio
interference suppression filter and a serial interface that, when combined
with the same fast and cost-effective mounting and commissioning that
conventional DOL starters are known for, allows them to meet the vital
production and manufacturing process optimization needs of the machine
building industry (MOEM).
The extensive accessories available for the DE1 series further enhance the
latter’s versatility in a wide variety of applications. For example, the simple
and easy-to-use DXE-EXT-SET configuration module makes it possible to
make custom changes and adjustments using a screwdriver. There is also
the PC-based drivesConnect parameter software, which helps prevent data
loss, makes it possible to make custom changes and adjustments, and
reduces the time it takes to commission and maintain a DE1 device.

1.8 Proper use
1.8 Proper use

The DE1... variable speed starters are not domestic appliances. They are
designed only for industrial use as system components.
The DE1... variable speed starters are electrical devices for controlling vari-
able speed drives with three-phase motors. They are designed for installation
in machines or for use in combination with other components within a
machine or system.
If the variable speed starter is installed in a machine, it is prohibited to place
it into operation until it has been determined that the corresponding machine
meets the safety and protection requirements set forth in Machinery Safety
Directive 2006/42/EC (e.g., by complying with EN 60204). The user is
responsible for ensuring the machine application’s compliance with
EC Directives.
The CE marking on DE1 variable speed starters confirms that the devices,
when used in a typical drive configuration, comply with the European Union’s
Low Voltage and EMC Directives (Low-Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC,
EMC 2004/108/EC, and RoHS 2011/65/EU).
When used with the described system configuration, DE1... variable speed
starters are suitable for use with public and private electrical power networks.
Connecting a DE1... variable speed starter to an IT network (network without
a direct connection to earth potential) is only permissible under certain
conditions, as the device’s internal filter capacitors will connect the network
to earth potential (enclosure).
In unearthed networks, this can result in hazardous situations or damage to
the device (insulation monitoring is required!).
￫ Do not do the following at the DE1... variable speed starter’s

output (terminals U, V, W):
• connect a voltage or capacitive loads (e.g. phase
compensation capacitors),
• Connect multiple variable speed starters to each other in
parallel
• make a direct connection to the input (bypass).
Always observe the technical data and connection conditions!

The corresponding information can be found on the variable speed starter’s
rating plate and in the relevant documentation. Any other use will be
considered to be an improper use of the device.

1.9 Maintenance and inspection
1.9 Maintenance and inspection

DE1... variable speed starters are maintenance-free, provided that the gen-
eral rating data, as well as the technical data for the specific models in use, is
observed. However, please note that external influences can affect a variable
speed starter’s operation and lifespan.
Because of this, we recommend inspecting the devices on a regular basis
and carrying out the following maintenance activities at the specified
intervals.
Table 3: Recommended maintenance activities for DE1... variable speed starters

Maintenance measures Maintenance interval
Clean cooling vents (cooling slits) as needed
Check that the fan is working properly 6 - 24 months (depending on the environment)
Check the filter in the control panel doors 6 - 24 months (depending on the environment)
(see the manufacturer’s specifications)
Check all ground connections to make sure On a regular basis, at periodic intervals
they are intact
Check the tightening torques of the connec- On a regular basis, at periodic intervals
tions (control signal terminals, power termi-
nals)
Check connection terminals and all metallic 6 - 24 months; when stored, no more than 12 months later
surfaces for corrosion (depending on the environment)
Motor cables and shield connection (EMC) According to manufacturer specifications, no later than 5 years
Charge capacitors 12 months
(￫ section 1.11, “Charging the internal DC link capacitors”)
The DE1... variable speed starter’s components are not designed to be

individually replaced or repaired. If a DE1... variable speed starter is ruined by
external influences, it will not be possible to repair it!
Dispose of the device according to the applicable environmental laws and
provisions for the disposal of electrical or electronic devices.
1.10 Storage
If the DE1... variable speed starter is stored before use, suitable ambient
conditions must be ensured at the site of storage:
• Storage temperature: -40 - +70 °C,
• Relative average air humidity: < 95 %, non condensing (EN 61800-5-1),
• To prevent damage to the variable speed starter’s internal DC link
capacitors, it is not recommended to store the variable speed starter for
more than 12 months (￫ section 1.11, “Charging the internal DC link
capacitors”).

1 DE1... series
1.11 Charging the internal DC link capacitors
1.11 Charging the internal DC link capacitors

The DE1-12… variable speed starter’s DC link features electrolytic capaci-
tors. After prolonged storage or non-operation periods (> 12 months) without
being powered, these DC link capacitors must be charged in a controlled
manner in order to prevent damage to them. To do this, the DE1...-12…
variable speed starter must be powered with a regulated DC power supply
unit using both the L1/L and L2/N mains connection terminals. The variable
speed starter must not have an active enable signal during the process
(i.e., make sure that there is no active start signal).
The maximum charging voltage should reach the DC link voltage
(UDC ∼ 1.41 x Ue).
• DE1…-12…: approx. 324 V DC for Ue = 230 V AC
￫ DE1...-34… variable speed starters do not require their

capacitors to be reformed with the procedure described above
(“lean DC link”).

point-grounded AC supply systems (TN-S, TN-C, TT grounding systems;
please refer to IEC 60364) without any limitations.

Figure 15: AC supply systems with earthed center point
￫ While planning the project, consider a symmetrical distribution

to the three main phase conductors, if multiple variable speed
starters with single-phase supplies are to be connected.
The total current of all single phase consumers is not to cause
an overload of the neutral conductor (N-conductor).
The connection and operation of variable speed starters to asymmetrically

grounded TN networks (phase-grounded Delta network “Grounded Delta”,
USA) or non-grounded or high-resistance grounded (higher than 30 Ω)
IT networks is only conditionally permissible.
￫ Operation on non-earthed networks (IT) requires the use of suit-

able insulation monitors (e.g. pulse-code measurement method).
￫ In networks with an earthed phase conductor, the maximum

phase-earth voltage must not exceed 300 VAC.
If DE1 variable speed starters with an internal radio interference suppression

filter (DE1...-…FN-…) are connected to a corner-earthed network or an IT
network (non-earthed, insulated), the filter must be deactivated (by removing
the two EMC jumpers).
￫ For detailed information on how to remove the EMC jumpers,

please refer to ￫ section 3.3.4, “EMC jumper”, page 48.

2 Engineering
2.2.2 Mains voltage and frequency

The DE1... variable speed starter’s wide tolerance range makes it possible
to use the device with European (ULN = 230 V/400 V, 50 Hz) and American
(ULN = 240 V/480 V, 60 Hz) standard voltages:
• 230 V, 50 Hz; 240 V, 60 Hz at DE1…-12…
200 V - 10 % - 240 V + 10 %
• 220 V, 60 Hz; 230 V, 60 Hz at DE1…-12…N01
200 V - 10 % - 240 V + 10 %
• 400 V, 50 Hz; 480 V, 60 Hz at DE1…-34…
380 V - 10 % - 480 V + 10 %
• 380 V, 60 Hz; 400 V, 60 Hz at DE1…-34…N01
380 V - 10 % - 480 V + 10 %
The permissible frequency range for all voltage categories is 50/60 Hz
(48 Hz - 0% - 62 Hz + 0%).
When using variable speed starters that work with a three-phase power
supply (DE1...-34…), the mains voltage unbalance (phase–phase) must be
smaller than 3%. If this condition is not met, or if the unbalance at the point
of connection is unknown, it is recommended to use a mains choke with the
appropriate rating (see ￫ section 9.8, “DX-LN… mains chokes”, page 146)
and a uk value ≦ 4 %.
￫ Voltage unbalances greater than 3 % will cause the DE1 variable

speed starter to shut down with a fault message.
(The Fault Code LED will flash cyclically 9 times with a
2-second pause,￫ table 45, page 156.)
2.2.3 Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

The THD value (THD = Total Harmonic Distortion) is defined in standard
IEC/EN 61800-3 as the ratio of the rms value of all harmonic components to
the rms value of the fundamental frequency.
￫ When using DE1...-12… variable speed starters, which work

with a single-phase power supply, THD levels can be reduced
by about 30 % by placing a mains choke upstream of the device
(￫ section 9.8, “DX-LN… mains chokes”, page 146).
DE1...-34… variable speed starters, which work with a three-phase power

supply, are designed as low harmonic drives. This means that it is not
necessary to use a mains choke in order to reduce THD levels.

2 Engineering
2.2.4 Reactive power compensation
￫ In the AC supply systems with non-choked reactive current

compensation devices, current oscillations, antiresonances and
undefinable circumstances can occur.
If you are designing systems in which variable speed starters
will be connected to AC power supply systems with undefined
conditions, make sure to incorporate mains chokes into your
design ￫ section 9.8, “DX-LN… mains chokes”, page 146.

2 Engineering
2.3 Safety and switching
2.3.1 Disconnecting device
￫ Install a manual disconnecting device between the mains con-

nection and the DE1... variable speed starter.
This disconnecting device must be designed in such a way that
it can be interlocked in its open position for installation and
maintenance work.
In the European Union, this disconnecting device must be one of the

following devices in order to comply with European Directives as per
standard EN 60204-1, “Safety of machinery”:
• An AC-23B utilization category disconnector (EN 60947-3)
• A disconnector with an auxiliary contact that in all cases will disconnect
the load circuit before the disconnector’s main contacts open
(EN 60947-3)
• A circuit-breaker designed to disconnect the circuit as per EN 60947-2
In all other regions, the applicable national and local safety regulations must
be complied with.
2.3.2 Fuses and cable cross-sections

The DE1... variable speed starter and the corresponding supply cables must
be protected from thermal overload and short-circuits.
￫ The fuse ratings and cable cross-sectional areas (wire gauges)

for the connection on the mains side will depend on the DE1...
variable speed starter’s input current ILN.
The recommended ratings and sizes are listed in
￫ Section 9.6, “Cable and safety devices”.
The mains cables and motor cables must be sized as required by local stan-
dards and by the load currents that will be involved. The rated operational
currents are specified in ￫ section 8.3, “Rating data”, page 121.
The PE conductor’s cross-sectional area must be the same as the phase
conductors’ cross-sectional area. The connection terminals marked with 
must be connected to the earth-current circuit.
NOTICE
The specified minimum PE conductor cross-sections
(EN 61800-5-1) must be maintained.

2 Engineering
If there are leakage currents greater than 3.5 mA, a reinforced earthing (PE)
must be connected, as required by standard EN 61800-5-1. The cable cross-
section must be at least 10 mm2, or the earthing system must consist of two
separately connected earthing cables. ￫ section 8.3, “Rating data”,
page 121 provides the leakage currents for the individual models.
￫ section 3.3.6, “Motor connection”, page 52 goes over the EMC require-
ments for the motor cables. A symmetrical, fully screened (360°), low-imped-
ance motor cable must be used. The motor cable’s length will depend on the
EMC category and the environment.
For US installations, UL-listed fuses, fuse bases, and cables (AWG) should be
used exclusively. These cables must have a temperature rating of 75 °C
(167 °F), and will often require installation inside a metal conduit (please
consult the applicable local standards).
2.3.3 Residual current circuit-breaker (RCD)

When using DE1…-34… variable speed starters that work with a three-phase
power supply, make sure to use type B AC/DC-sensitive residual current
devices (RCD) exclusively. When using DE1…-12… variable speed starters
that work with a single-phase power supply (L, N), you may use type A and
type B residual current devices (RCD).
NOTICE
Residual current circuit-breakers (RCD = residual current device
as defined in IEC/EN 61800-5-1, IEC 755) should only be
installed between the power feed system (the AC supply
system supplying power) and the DE1... variable speed starter –
not at the output to the motor!
The contact and leakage currents’ magnitude will generally depend on:
• length of the motor cable,
• shielding of the motor cable,
• height of the pulse frequency (switching frequency of the inverter),
• Design of the radio interference suppression filter
• grounding measures at the site of the motor.
Other protective measures against direct and indirect contact can be used for
DE1... variable speed starters, including isolating them from the supply
system with the use of a transformer.
￫ Due to the design used for single-phase devices, a higher

leakage current will be produced if L1 and N are swapped.

2 Engineering
2.3.4 Mains contactors

Using a mains contactor makes it possible to switch the variable speed
starter’s supply voltage on and off under normal operating conditions and to
disconnect it in the event of a fault. This mains contactor needs to be sized
based on the following: the DE1... variable speed starter’s input current ILN
on the mains side, utilization category AC-1 (IEC 60947), and the ambient air
temperature at the location of use. ￫ section 9.7, “DIL…mains contactors”,
page 145, in the appendix, lists the mains contactor ratings that should be
used for the various DE1... variable speed starters.
￫ When designing your system, keep in mind that inching with

the mains contactor is not permissible.
The maximum permissible switching frequency for the mains
voltage when running a DE1... variable speed starter is once
every 30 seconds (normal operation).
2.3.5 Using a bypass connection

WARNING
 Never connect the DE1... variable speed starter’s output

terminals U, V, and W to the power feed system (L1, L2, L3)!
Connecting the mains voltage to the output terminals can result
in the variable speed starter being irreparably damaged.
If a bypass is required, use mechanically joined switches or contactors in

order to ensure that the motor terminals will not be simultaneously
connected to the mains connection and to the variable speed starter’s output
terminals.

2.4 EMC measures
2.4 EMC measures

When designing drives systems with variable speed (PDS), the necessary
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) measures should already be taken into
account during the planning and configuration stage, as making changes
during assembly and installation (or afterwards) at the installation location will
likely result in additional, and significantly higher, costs.
Due to the characteristics of the technology and systems involved,
high-frequency leakage currents will flow in a frequency controlled drive
system during operation. Because of this, all earthing elements must be
low-impedance elements connected in such a way as to establish an
electrical contact across a large surface area.
The following is required in order to ensure that DE1... variable speed start-
ers are installed in a manner that meets EMC requirements:
• Install the variable speed starter(s) in a conductive metal enclosure with
a good connection to earth potential
• Screened cables with the shortest possible length
￫ When working with frequency controlled drive systems,

connect all conductive components, as well as the enclosure, to
earth using a cable that is as short as possible and that has the
largest possible cross-sectional area (copper lacing).
Inside the control panel, all of the device’s metal parts should be connected
to each other and to the control panel across a large area and in a manner
suitable for high frequencies. Mounting plates and control panel doors should
be connected to the panel by means of short drain wires with an electrical
contact established across a large surface area. Do not make connections to
painted surfaces (Eloxal, yellow chromated).
￫ Mount the DE1... variable speed starter as directly as possible

(without spacers) on a metal plate (mounting plate).
￫ Route mains and motor cables in the control panel as close to

the ground potential as possible. This is because free moving
cables act as antennas.
￫ If routed in parallel, cables carrying high frequencies (e.g.,

screened motor cables) and clean cables (e.g., mains supply
cable, control and signal cables) should be installed at a distance
of at least 300 mm from each other in order to avoid electro-
magnetic interference.
You should also route cables separately from each other if there
are large differences in voltage. If control cables and power
cables need to cross, they should always do so at a right angle
(90°).

2.5 Motor Selection
2.5 Motor Selection
￫ Check whether your DE1... variable speed starter and the three-
phase AC motor you will be using are compatible with each
other as per the rating data table in ￫ section 8.3, “Rating
data”, page 121.
2.5.1 Parallel connection of motors

DE1... variable speed starters can be used to run several motors in parallel.
￫ If several motors are being connected, the total of their motor

currents must be lower than the DE1... variable frequency
starter’s rated operational current.
Connecting several motors in parallel will reduce the resistance at the

variable speed starter’s output. The total stator inductance will be reduced
and the cables’ stray capacitance will be increased. The result will be greater
harmonic distortion when compared to a single-motor connection. A motor
choke should be used at the variable speed starter’s output in order to
reduce this harmonic distortion.
￫ When running several motors in parallel, it will not be possible

to use the variable speed starter’s electronic motor protection.
As a result, each individual motor must be protected with
thermistors and/or an overload relay.
￫ Within a frequency range of 20 to 120 Hz, a PKE electronic

motor-protective circuit-breaker can be used at the variable
speed starter’s output for motor protection purposes as well.

2.5.3 Connecting EX motors

The following aspects must be taken into account when connecting explo-
sion-proof motors:
• A DE1... variable speed starter can be installed inside an explosion-proof
enclosure within the hazardous location or inside a control panel outside
the hazardous location.
• All applicable industry-specific and country-specific regulations for
hazardous locations (ATEX 100a) must be complied with.
• The specifications and instructions provided by the motor’s
manufacturer with regard to operation with a variable speed starter –
e.g., whether motor reactors (dV/dt limiting) are required – must be
taken into account.
• Temperature monitors in the motor windings (thermistor, thermo-Click)
are not to be connected directly to DE1... variable speed starters but
must be connected via an approved trigger apparatus for EX areas i.e.
EMT6.

3.1 Introduction
This chapter provides a description of the mounting and the electrical
connection for the variable speed starter DE1...
￫ While installing and/or mounting the DE1... variable speed

starter, cover all ventilation slots in order to ensure that no
foreign bodies can enter the device.
￫ Perform all installation work with the specified tools and without
the use of excessive force.
￫ For additional information on how to install the DE1... variable

speed starter, please consult instruction leaflet IL040005ZU.
3.2 Mounting
The installation instructions described in this section assume that the device
is being installed in an enclosure that is suitable for devices and that has a
degree of protection of IP20 as defined in EN 60529.
• The enclosures must be made of a material with high thermal conductivity.
• If a control panel with ventilation openings is used, these openings must
be located below and above the DE1... variable speed starter in order to
ensure proper air circulation. Air should be delivered from the bottom
and conveyed outwards through the top.
• If the environment outside the control panel contains dirt particles (e.g.,
dust), a suitable particulate filter must be placed on the ventilation open-
ings and forced ventilation must be used.
The filters must be maintained and cleaned if necessary.
• An appropriate enclosed control panel (without ventilation openings)
must be used in environments containing large percentages or amounts
of humidity, salt, or chemicals.
￫ Install the DE1... variable speed starter only on a nonflammable

mounting base (e.g., on a metal plate).

will remain energized for up to 5 minutes after the supply volt-
age is switched off (due to the DC link capacitors’ discharge
time).
Pay attention to hazard warnings!

.
￫ Perform the steps below with the specified insulated tools and
without using force.

3 Installation
3.3.1 Insulation test

The variable speed starters of the DE1... series are tested, delivered and
require no additional testing.
If insulation testing is required in the power circuit of the PDS, you must
consider the following measures.
￫ Conduct the required insulation tests before connecting the

cables to the DE1... variable speed starter.
CAUTION
 Do not run any insulation resistance tests on the DE1... variable

speed starter’s control and connection terminals with an insula-
tion tester.
Testing the mains cable insulation

▶ The mains cable must be disconnected from the power supply network
and from the DE1... variable speed starter’s L1/L, L2/N, and L3 connec-
tion terminals.
Measure the mains cable’s insulation resistance between the individual
phase conductors and between each phase conductor and the protec-
tive conductor.
The insulation resistance must be greater than 1 MΩ.
Testing the motor cable insulation

▶ The motor cable must be disconnected from the DE1... variable speed
starter’s U, V, and W connection terminals and from the motor (U, V, W).
Measure the motor cable’s insulation resistance between the individual
phase conductors and between each phase conductor and the protec-
tive conductor.
Testing the motor insulation

▶ The motor cable must be disconnected from the motor (U, V, W).
Open the jumpers (star or delta) inside the motor terminal box.
Measure the individual motor windings’ insulation resistance.
￫ Please refer to the motor manufacturer’s manual for the exact

insulation resistance values and permissible test voltages.

3.3.3 Earthing
Every DE1... variable speed starter must be individually connected to the
power supply system’s protective earth directly at the location of installation
(system earthing). This protective earth must not pass through any other
devices.
All protective earth conductors must be routed in a star-shaped layout
extending from the central earth point, and all of the power drive system’s
conductive components (DE1... variable speed starter, mains choke, motor
choke) must be connected.
The earth-fault loop impedance must comply with all locally applicable
industrial safety regulations. In order to meet UL standards, UL-listed ring
cable lugs must be used for all earth wiring connections.
￫ Avoid ground loops when installing multiple variable speed start-

ers in one control panel. Make sure that all metallic devices that
are to be grounded have a broad area connection with the
mounting plate.
￫ In the case of variable speed starters with an internal interfer-

ence radio interference suppression filter, the PE cable
(DE1...-…FN-…) must be inserted behind the EMC jumper.

3.3.4 EMC jumper

There are two DE1... variable speed starter versions:
• DE1...-…FN-…: with an internal radio interference suppression filter,
with EMC jumpers,
• DE1...-…NN-…: without internal radio interference suppression filter,
without EMC jumpers.
The EMC jumpers use the connection terminals to connect the filter on the
mains side and the DC link filter (star capacitors) to the PE terminal on the
mains and motor connection sides.
If you are planning to connect a DE1...FN-… variable speed starter to an IT
(non-earthed) network or to a corner-earthed TN network, the internal EMC
filters must be deactivated by removing the EMC jumpers. In the case of
devices without an internal filter (DE1...-…NN-…), there will not be any EMC
jumpers to begin with, and the filter connection terminals will not serve any
function (they will be closed).

3.3.6 Motor connection

The connection between the DE1... variable speed starter and the motor
should be as short as possible. The motor connection cable should be
screened in order for the installation to meet EMC requirements.
▶ Connect the screening, on both sides and across a large area
(360° overlap), to the protective earth (PE) . The power screening’s
protective earth (PES) connection should be in the immediate proximity
of the DE1 variable speed starter and directly on the motor terminal box.

▶ Prevent the screening from becoming unbraided, e.g. by pushing the

opened plastic sheath over the end of the screening or with a rubber
grommet on the end of the screening.
Alternatively, in addition to the large-area gland plate, you can also twist
the screen braid at the end and connect it to the protective earth. In
order to prevent EMC interference, this twisted screen connection
should be as short as possible (recommended value for the twisted
cable screen: b ≧ 1/5 a).

If additional assemblies (e.g., contactors, overload relays, motor chokes, and/

or terminals) are found in a motor feeder, the motor cable’s screening can be
interrupted close to these assemblies and connected to the mounting plate
(PES) in such a way that electrical contact is established across a large
surface area. Unscreened connection cables should not be longer than
approx. 300 mm.

ter. The maximum permissible rms voltage must not exceed
500 V RMS.
• In order to meet CSA requirements, a TVSS is required on the DE1...
variable speed starter’s mains side. This suppressor must monitor the
600 V (phase to earth) and the 600 V (phase to phase), be suitable for
overvoltage category III, and provide protection against and be able to
withstand a rated surge voltage with 4 kV peaks or its equivalent.
• The maximum permissible short-circuit current (AC) in the input power
supply must be 100 kA if fuses are used (600 V, UL class CC or class J).
It must be 14 kA RMS if circuit-breakers are used (480 V, miniature
circuit-breaker type B), as well as for DE1...-34…. devices; 18 kA RMS if
miniature circuit-breaker type E circuit-breakers are used.
• There must be a fixed installation with a suitable disconnecting device
between the DE1... variable speed starter and the supply voltage as
required by local safety codes and standards.
• Suitable copper wire mains and motor cables with a minimum insulation
temperature rating of 75 °C (167 °F) must be used.
• The tightening torques for the power terminals, as defined in the
specification for the individual models, must be used.
• Only one single conductor type is permissible for each power terminal.
The PE conductor must be connected to metal enclosures using a ring
cable lug.

and the motor, that switches off the DE1... device in case of over-
load OR
• Motor with thermistor that uses a thermistor overload relay (EMT6)
to switch off the DE1... variable speed starter in case of overload or
• Motor with thermistor that switches off the DE1... variable speed
starter directly with an external fault message (thermistor con-
nected to control terminal 3 and +10 V), EXTFLT with mode 1
(P-15 = 1), mode 3 (P-15 = 3), mode 5 (P-15 = 5), mode 7 (P-15 = 7),
and mode 9 (P-15 = 9). Prerequisite: P-19 = 0, OR

The signal common when using an external control voltage will be control
terminal = 0 V.
￫ If using an external voltage source, make sure that the external

voltage source’s 0-V potential and the DE1 variable speed
starter’s 0-V potential (0 V) are connected to each other.
The external control voltage’s residual ripple must be smaller

3.3.8.7 Relay contact (RUN)

Control terminals 13 and 14 are connected to the DE1... variable speed
starter’s internal potential-free relay contact (N/O).
• This contact will close when there is an enable signal (FWD, REV, ENA)
and there are no fault messages present.
• The contact will open immediately when there is a fault message
present.
• The contact will open if the enable signal is switched off (FWD, REV,
ENA) and the motor coasts uncontrolled (P-05 default setting = 0).
• The contact will open after a delay, once the deceleration time set in
P-04 elapses (f2 = 0 Hz), if the enable signal (FWD, REV, ENA) is
switched off.
• The contact will open after a delay if the enable signal (FWD, REV, ENA)
is switched off and the motor is brought to a speed of 0 in line with the
deceleration ramp (P-04 ramp time).
The supply data for control terminals 13 and 14 are:
• 250 V AC, max. 6 A AC1
• 30 V DC, max. 5 A DC1
In order to ensure smooth operation, we recommend adding suppressor
circuits to inductive loads (e.g., coupling relays, contactors) as follows:

4 Operation
4.2 Hazard warnings for operation

Please observe the following notes.
DANGER
 Commissioning is only to be completed by qualified technicians.
DANGER
 Hazardous voltage!
The safety instructions on pages I and II must be followed.
DANGER
 The components in the DE1 variable speed starter’s power

section will remain energized as long as the supply voltage
(mains voltage) is connected. This includes, for example, power
terminals L1/L, L2/N, L3, U, V, and W.
The control signal terminals are isolated from the line power
potential.
There might be a dangerous voltage at the relay terminals (13,
14) even if the variable speed starter is not being powered with
mains voltage (when the relay contacts are connected to PLCs
with voltages > 48 VAC / 60 VDC, for example).
DANGER
 The components in the DE1 variable speed starter’s power

section will remain energized for up to 5 minutes after the
supply voltage is switched off (due to the DC link capacitors’
discharge time).
Pay attention to hazard warnings!
DANGER
 Following a shutdown (fault, mains voltage off), the motor can

start automatically (when the supply voltage is switched back
on) if the automatic restart function has been enabled
(￫ parameters P-31).

4 Operation
NOTICE
Inching operation using the mains contactor is not permitted.
Contactors and switchgear (repair and maintenance switches)
on the motor side must not be opened while the motor is in
operation.
Inching the motor with contactors and switchgear at the
DE1... variable speed starter’s output is not permissible.
NOTICE
Make sure that starting the motor will not put anyone or
anything in danger. Disconnect the driven machine if there is a
danger in an incorrect operating state.
￫ If motors are to be operated with frequencies higher than the

standard 50 or 60 Hz, then these operating ranges must be
approved by the motor manufacturer. The motors could be
damaged otherwise.

▶ For simple commissioning with the preset default settings, connect the
DE1... variable speed starter as shown in the connection example above.
The reference value potentiometer should have a fixed resistor with a resis-
tance of at least 1 kΩ min and at most 10 kΩ max (connect to control termi-
nals +10 V and 0 V). A value of 4.7 kΩ is recommended.
￫ If the reference value potentiometer’s terminals cannot be

clearly assigned to terminals 0 V, +10 V, and 4, set the
potentiometer to about 50 % before activating a start enable
signal (FWD) for the first time.
￫ Make sure that the enable contact (FWD) is open before

switching on the mains voltage.
When the required supply voltage is applied at the mains connection
terminals (L1/L and L2/N in DE1...-12… devices; L1/L, L2/N, and L3 in
DE1...-34… devices), the switched-mode power supply (SMPS) in the DC
link will be used to generate the control voltage and the Run LED will flash
with a green light. When this occurs, the DE1... will be ready for operation
(normal operating state) and in Stop mode.
To activate the start enable signal, drive control terminal 1 with +10 V:
The Run LED will light up with a continuous light.
Potentiometer R1 can be used to set the desired speed value for the motor.

The DXE-EXT-SET configuration module is designed to be plugged into the
DE1... variable speed starter’s RJ45 socket in such a way that the module’s
two mounting clips will go into the corresponding openings on the starter.
￫ The DXE-EXT-SET configuration module can be connected and

removed by hand – no tools are required.
Make sure not to use excessive force when plugging in and
removing the module or when adjusting its settings.
￫ The DXE-EXT-SET configuration module can be plugged in and

removed during operation (while the Run LED is on).

Figure 54: Plugging in and removing the module
Normally, the DXE-EXT-SET configuration module is not intended to remain

plugged in during continuous operation. Generally speaking, its switch
settings and other settings cannot be changed by accident, as changing
them requires a tool and a transfer command (SET), and the command can
only be activated in the STOP state.
However, it is important to point out that all mechanically adjustable values
can be intentionally changed at any time as long as the configuration module
is plugged in.
To remove the module, simply squeeze the two mounting clips [1]. Then pull
the configuration module forward while continuing to press on the mounting
clips [2].

The settings (parameters) can be mechanically adjusted regardless of

whether the DXE-EXT-SET configuration module is plugged into a DE1...
variable speed starter or not.
NOTICE
Changing drive-specific settings!
If an “undefined” DXE-EXT-SET is plugged into a DE1... variable

speed starter that is already configured and the STATUS LED
(on the DXE-EXT-SET) lights up with a yellow light, this means
that the device’s specific settings can be changed by pressing
the SET button (while the starter is in STOP mode).
For example:
• The control terminals’ configuration (mode = P-15)
• Current limitation (I Motor = P-08)
• Acceleration and deceleration times (Ramp = P-03 and
P-04)
• Fixed frequency value (FF1 = P-20)
• All parameter values based on the basic frequency
(50/60 Hz ￫ P-01)
￫ The DE1... variable speed starter’s parameters can be write-pro-

tected (so that they cannot be overwritten) with the drivesCon-
nect parameter configuration program or the DX-KEY-LED key-
pad by setting parameter P-39 to 1 (parameter lock).
Exception:
Even if the starter’s parameters are locked, it will be possible to
change the value of parameter P-20 (FF1) with the Fixed Freq.
potentiometer on the DXE-EXT-SET configuration module.

The following table goes over the use and functions of the operator control
and indication elements on the DXE-EXT-SET configuration module when it is
plugged in and the DE1... variable speed starter is ready for operation (Run
LED on).

fast flashing (4 Hz) The SET button has been pressed briefly (< 1 s). The Fixed Freq. potentiometer is active and is directly
overwriting the value in the DE1... variable speed starter’s P-20 (FF1) parameter.
Note:
The drive’s speed can be directly adjusted in RUN mode, provided there is an FF1 enable signal at the
appropriate control terminal (see modes 0, 2 , 3, 4, 7, 8 = P-15).
If the SET button is pressed again, the current Fixed Freq. potentiometer value will be stored in P-20.
60 Hz 50/60-Hz selector switch

The mains frequency selector switch can be used to automatically make all the necessary changes
to the calculations in the motor model and the characteristic curve parameters (e.g., max. frequency,
50 Hz V/HZ characteristic curve, speed control, etc.) used to operate motors with the corresponding stan-
dard frequencies (50/60 Hz).
SET SET button

• If it is pressed for about 2 seconds in STOP mode, the SET button will start transferring all
“mechanically” set values from the DXE-EXT-SET configuration module to the corresponding
parameters in the DE1... device. During the transfer, the STATUS LED will flash three times for
2 seconds and will then show a continuous green light if the data transfer is successfully
completed.
• When in RUN mode, briefly pressing the SET button (< 1 second) will start directly transferring
the Fixed Freq. potentiometer setting to the DE1... variable speed starter’s P-20 (FF1) parameter.
In order for this transfer to stop, the SET button needs to be pressed again.
• In an operating mode with the FF1 control command active (modes 0, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8), the Fixed Freq.
potentiometer can be used to directly adjust the drive’s speed.

briefly, the frequency value currently being transferred will be stored in P-20.
Potentiometer I Motor
The I Motor potentiometer can be used to adjust the value of the motor current (P-08) for the motor
protection function (I x t) to a value between 10 % and 100 % of the DE1... variable speed starter’s
rated operational current. The set percentage value needs to be activated in STOP mode by pressing
the SET button (and holding it down for 2 seconds) (the STATUS LED will flash three times for

6 Parameter
The following formulas can be used to calculate acceleration time t1 and

deceleration time t2 (relative to the motor’s rated frequency (P-09)) for a max-
imum output frequency P-01:
P-01 x P-03 P-01 x P-04

P-09 P-09
If there is a given acceleration time t1 and a given deceleration time t2, the
set values for P-03 (t-axx) and P-04 (t-dec) can be calculated as follows for a
higher output frequency (P-01):
t1 x P-09 t2 x P-09
P-03 = , P-04 =
P-01 P-01
￫ The defined acceleration (P-03) and deceleration times (P-04)

apply for all changes to the frequency reference value (f-REF).
If the value set for f-min (P-02) is different from 0 Hz, the drive will accelerate
with the acceleration time configured in P-03 to a value of f-min in time tf-min
after receiving an enable signal (FWD, REV).
Example
P-02 = 20 Hz (= f-min), P-03 = 5 s, P-09 = 50 Hz
P-02 x P-03 20 Hz x 5 s
tf-min = = = 2s
P-09 50 Hz
The overvoltage control function (default setting: P-31 = 0) will monitor the
DC link voltage’s magnitude and prevent the DE1... variable speed starter
from being switched off if the motor’s energy recovery results in the DC link
voltage exceeding its limits. The output frequency will be automatically
adjusted (U/f).
The fault message in the event of an excessive DC link voltage when
P-31 = 1 will be: Fault Code LED: 3 pulses – overvoltage.
￫ During continuous operation, excessive DC link voltage may

result in the motor’s speed being temporarily increased.
If deceleration ramp P-04 is active, this frequency increase will
result in the ramp being lengthened.

6.5.3 Motor protection
6.5.3.1 Overload protection (I x t)

In order to protect the motor against thermal overload, a thermal motor
model with an I x t characteristic will be computed in the DE1... variable
speed starter based on the value in parameter P-08. If the rated motor cur-
rent is lower than the DE1...’s rated operational current, you will need to
enter this lower value in parameter P-08 or set it using the I-Motor potenti-
ometer in the DXE-EXT-SET configuration module.
￫ Motor protection can also be implemented by using an overload

relay, thermistors, etc.
NOTICE
The thermal model will not protect the motor if there is reduced
cooling due to dirt, dust, etc.
The computed thermal motor model will be automatically saved when the
supply voltage is switched off and used as a basis for additional calculations
when the supply voltage is switched back on. When P-33 = 1, it is automati-
cally set to 0.
If the motor current is higher than the value set in P-08 (I x t) for an extended
period of time, the DE1... variable speed starter will be automatically
switched off with the following fault message:
• Fault Code LED: 1 pulse – overload.
• DX-KEY-LED: I.t-trP. The overload duration up until the moment the
device is switched off will be shown by flashing decimal points.
￫ The fault message must be reset by deactivating the enable sig-

nal (FWD, REV), by pressing the STOP button on the keypad, or
by switching off the mains voltage.

6.5.3.2 Thermistor protection

Measuring the temperature in the motor’s stator windings is the most
effective way to protect the motor against thermal overload. DE1... variable
speed starters make it possible to directly connect temperature sensors with
a positive temperature coefficient (PTC):
• Thermistor
• Temperature switch (Thermo-Click)
NOTICE
DE1... variable speed starters are built in accordance with
IEC/EN 61800-5-1. This requires double insulation between
mains supply circuits and low-voltage circuits. Accordingly,
thermistors in the motor must have double insulation relative to
the motor winding in order not to negatively affect the PDS’
entire insulation system.
The thermistor needs to be connected between +10 V and DI3 (control

terminals +10 V and 3). In P-15 = 1 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 9 configurations, it will be used
as an external fault message source (EXTFLT).
The DE1... variable speed starter will be automatically switched off at a
resistance of 3600 Ω with the following fault message:
• Fault Code LED: 2 pulses – external fault
• DX-KEY-LED: E-triP
Once the motor winding cools down (= the thermistors cool down), the fault
message can be reset, provided the resistance has fallen below 1,600 Ω.

6.5.4 V/f characteristic curve

width modulation (PWM). With it, the IGBTs are driven with two V/Hz
control-based control methods that have the following characteristics:
V/f (P-10 = 0)
• Frequency control (Hz),
• Parallel connection of several motors possible,
• Large power difference between the DE1... variable speed starter and
the motor (PDE1 >> PMotor).
• Switching in the output.
V/f with slip compensation (P-10 ≧ 200)
• Speed control with slip compensation,
• All frequency-based parameters will be shown in revolutions per minute
(min-1, rpm).
• Single-motor operation (only one connected motor). The power differ-
ence must be, at most, one factor lower than that of the DE1... variable
speed starter.

6 Parameter
V/f Control mode

Volts per Hertz control (V/Hz characteristic) refers to the DE1... variable
speed starter control method in which motor voltage is regulated so that it is
maintained at a specific ratio relative to frequency.
If the voltage-to-frequency relationship is constant, this is referred to as a
“linear V/Hz characteristic curve”.
In a standard application, the characteristic values ① in the V/Hz
characteristic curve (e.g., 400 V/50 Hz) will match the connected motor’s
rated operational data (refer to the motor’s rating plate):
• Output voltage = Rated operating motor voltage (P-07)
• Cut-off frequency = motor rated frequency (P-09)

Voltage increase (Boost)

Below approx. 50 % of the motor’s rated operational data, the corresponding
efficiency (η) and power factor (cos ϕ) will drop sharply. The runout
characteristics will worsen and the current consumption will increase, with
the severity of these changes depending on the type of rotor and its
characteristics.
Using the voltage boost function (boost, P-11) can mitigate these effects on
the starting torque and on the motor’s runout characteristics at low
frequencies.
￫ The higher start voltage (boost) will result in a higher motor

current and, accordingly, in increased motor heating.
Increased motor cooling (external fans) may be required.
The voltage boost (P-11) can be set to values of up to 40 % of the motor’s

rated operating voltage (P-07). The voltage boost configured with P-11 will be
effective up to approx. 50 % of the rated motor frequency (P-09).

6 Parameter
Energy Optimizer
If P-06 = 1, the DE1... variable speed starter’s energy optimizer will be
enabled, in which case the output voltage will be adjusted automatically
based on the load. In partial load scenarios, this function will reduce the
output voltage and, as a result, the losses in the motor. Accordingly, energy
consumption levels will decrease.
￫ Not suitable for dynamic applications with quickly changing

loads!
V/Hz control with slip compensation

When run in V/Hz control mode with slip compensation (P-10 ≧ 200), DE1...
variable speed starters can compensate for speed fluctuations caused by
loads. If the load torque increases ①, the output frequency ② and the output
voltage will be automatically increased and the speed change caused by the
load will be compensated for (the diagrams below show a simplified version
of this concept). The set speed (n1) will remain virtually constant. In order for
the device to be able to perform an accurate calculation, the motor’s exact
rating plate specifications must be entered into the corresponding
parameters (P-07, P-08, P-09, P-10).
￫ When the slip compensation function is activated (P-10 ≧ 200),

all frequency-based parameter values will be converted and
shown in revolutions per minute (min-1, rpm).
In this setting, slip compensation will not be activated if a synchronous
speed value is entered (e.g., 3,000 rpm for 50 Hz – this is the synchronous
speed of a 2-pole motor).

Figure 67: Speed behavior with and without slip compensation
When there is no slip compensation, load changes ① on the motor shaft will
result in a greater slip (Δn) and, as a result, a change in rotor speed ②.
In this case, the speed behavior of a three-phase asynchronous motor is
comparable to operation on a constant AC supply system. Speed changes
caused by loads (n1 → n2) will not be compensated for.

6 Parameter
6.5.5 DC braking
When using DC braking, DE1... variable speed starters apply a DC voltage to
the stator windings of the connected three-phase motor. This makes it possi-
ble to brake motors that are already rotating (e.g., pumps and fans) before
starting them, as well as to hold braked motors (e.g., handling equipment
and winding gear) in a stop position for a specific time.
DC braking can be activated with parameter P-25, while parameter P-26 can
be used to define the braking time (maximum: 10 seconds). The braking
voltage and the resulting braking torque can be adjusted with P-27 as a
percentage of nominal motor voltage P-07. Higher values will produce a
higher braking torque, but will also result in increased motor heating.
If a deceleration ramp is active (P-05 = 1), parameter P-28 can be used to
define an activation frequency at which the device will automatically switch
to DC braking if a stop command has been issued.
If P-05 = 0 (“coasting”), DC braking will be activated as soon as a stop
command is given. In this case, P-28 will be ignored.

6.5.6 Control terminal configuration

Parameter P-15 can be used to configure the function of control terminals 1
through 4. When parameter P-15 is used, parameter P-12 can be used to
configure access to control signals and reference values, including in combi-
nation with an external keypad, Modbus RTU, and SmartWire-DT (process
data access).
￫ In DE1... variable speed starters, the output frequency’s clock-

wise rotating field direction (FWD) is always used as the basis
and is represented with unsigned values in all ranges. Mean-
while, the inverted rotating field direction (counterclockwise
rotating field REV) is represented with a minus sign.
For DE1... variable speed starters, the term “reference value” is used as a
general term that encompasses analog reference values (f-REF), digital refer-
ence values (UP, DOWN), fixed frequencies (FF1 to FF4), and selecting an
operating direction (FWD, REV). Meanwhile, the term “control” is used as a
general term that encompasses the enable signal (ENA), the operating direc-
tion reversing signal (DIR), and the external fault message (EXTFLT).
By default (P-12 = 0, P-15 = 0), the control terminals are used to control the
DE1... device and set its setpoints.

Code
RUN, ro/rw
STOP
P-24 RUN rw Digital Reference 0, 1, 2, 3 0 Defines the behavior of the drive on START when used in
Reset Mode Keypad control or when controlled with UP/DOWN commands
via terminals.
0: Start at min speed

1: Start with latest speed before switching off
2: Start at min speed (Auto-r)
3: Start with latest speed before switching off (Auto-r)
Auto r: START and STOP button on the keypad are disabled. DE1
starts with a START command at the terminals.
When P-12 = 0 (control commands via terminals) and P-15 = 4, 5, or 6, the

frequency reference value can be set digitally (UP/DOWN). This digital refer-
ence will always be automatically reset to 0 Hz (P-24 = 0) whenever the
mains voltage is disconnected, as well as every time after a stop command.
The device will then restart with the value in parameter P-02 (f-min).
By setting P-24 to 1, this reset function can be disabled. In this case, the last
reference value that is set will be stored before the device is switched off
and will automatically be used when the device is restarted. The time set in
P-03 (t-acc) will be used for the acceleration ramp.
If P-12 = 1 (or = 2), the optional DX-KEY-LED keypad can be used to control
the device and set its reference values, provided there is an enable signal at
a digital input (DI1 or DI2). The digital reference will always be automatically
reset to 0 Hz (P-24 = 0) whenever the mains voltage is disconnected, as well
as every time after a stop command, in this configuration as well. The device
will then restart with the value in parameter P-02 (f-min). Setting P-24 to 1
will disable the reset function in this case as well.
An additional option is to set parameter P-24 to a value of 2 or 3. In this case,
the keypad’s START and STOP buttons will be disabled. The DE1... variable
speed starter will then respond only to commands commands applied to
control terminals’ start start and stop commands. However, it will still be
possible to use the two arrow keys on the keypad in order to digitally set
the frequency reference value.

6 Parameter
6.5.6.5 Analog input (AI1/DI4)

By default, control terminal 4 will be configured as analog input AI1
(0 - +10 V). The corresponding signal common is terminal 0 V.
The signal range for this analog input can be configured using P-16:
0 = 0 - 10 V (default settings)
1 = 0 - 20 mA
2 = 4 - 20 mA (t 4 - 20 mA); if there is a wire breakage, the drive will be
switched off and a fault message will be sent
3 = 4 - 20 mA (r 4 - 20 mA); if there is a wire breakage, the drive will use
the set ramp time (P-04) to change the frequency to fixed frequency FF1
(P-20; default setting = 20 Hz).
P-17 can be used to scale analog input AI1’s input signal.
Example
P-01 = 50 Hz, f-REF = 0 - 10 V
P-17 = 1.000: (0 - +10 V) x 1 ￫ 0 - 50 Hz

At a reference voltage of 10 V, the output frequency will reach
the value in P-01 (100 %).
P-17 = 0.100: (0 - +10 V) x 0.1 ￫ 0 - 5 Hz

At 10 V, the output frequency will reach a value of 10 % of
P-01.
Note:
Higher reference voltages (> 10 V) are not permissible!
P-17 = 2.000: (0 - +5 (10) V) x 2 ￫ 0 - 50 (50) Hz

At 5 V, the output frequency will reach the value in P-01,
and will then remain constant within a range > 5 - 10 V
(gain factor: 200 %).
P-17 = 2.500: (0 - +4 (10) V) x 2.5 ￫ 0 - 50 (50) Hz,

At 4 V, the output frequency will reach the value in P-01,
and will then remain constant within a range > 4 - 10 V
(gain factor: 250 %).

6 Parameter
Inverting analog input AI1

Parameter P-18 can be used to configure analog input AI1 for applications
with an inverted reference voltage (f-max at 0 V, f-min at 10 V):
0: 0 V = f-min (P-02)
10 V = f-max (P-01)
1: 0 V = f-max (P-01)
10 V = f-min (P-02)

6 Parameter
6.6 Parameter lock
6.6 Parameter lock

The DE1... variable speed starter’s parameters can be protected from
misuse. This function can be used to ensure that only authorized people
will be able to make changes to the parameters. To block access to all
parameters, set P-39 to 1 (ro = read only).
Exception: Parameter P-14 will always be accessible. The access source for
the parameter is defined in P-41.
By default, only the “basic parameters” (P-01 through P-14) will be
accessible and editable. To access all parameters, code 101 (default code)
needs to be entered in parameter P-14. This access code can be changed
in parameter P-38.
The following example shows the steps required in order to lock the device’s
parameters (provided the corresponding default settings are still being used).
It is important to follow the steps in the specified order:
1. P-14 = 101 Default access code used to access all parameters (makes
it possible to select P-39).
2. P-38 = 123 New access code (example).
3. P-14 = 123 Test: The new code unlocks access to all parameters.
4. P-39 = 1 Parameter lock. All parameters will be switched to read-

only status. It will not be possible to enter values for any
parameter (with the exception of P-39). The DX-KEY-LED
keypad’s display will shown an L (“Lock”) in its left seg-
ment.
5. P-14 Note:
Parameter P-14 will still be showing the new access code
(123).
6. P-14 ≠123 A value other than 123 needs to be entered for parameter
P-14! After this value is entered, only parameters P-01
through P-14 will continue to be accessible. All other
parameters will remain inaccessible until the new access
code (123) is entered. After doing so, the parameter lock
can be unlocked by setting P-39 to 0.
￫ With the exception of password P-38, locked parameter sets

can be read with a computer (“drivesConnect” parameter
configuration software) or with a keypad (DX-KEY-…) (read-
only).
Locked parameter sets can be copied to a DE1... variable speed

starter with a computer (“drivesConnect” parameter configura-
tion software) or a DX-COM-STICK, provided the parameter set
is not locked in the DE1... variable speed starter.

6.8 Displaying operational data

The variable speed starter’s operational data can be displayed using the
extended parameter set (P-14 = 101, ￫ page 85):
• External DX-KEY-LED keypad: Press the OK button while viewing
parameter P00.
• drivesConnect parameter configuration software: Open the “Monitor”
directory.
The measured and calculated operational data will be listed as P00-01 to
P00-20. When using a DX-KEY-LED keypad, the operational data shown can
be selected using the ▲ and ▼ and the OK button. Once the OK button is
pressed, the current parameter will be shown constantly (“set display
value”). In order to access a different indicator value, you will need to press
the OK button again.
￫ Operational data values cannot be changed manually

(i.e., by entering values by hand).
￫ The display/monitoring parameters are listed on ￫ page 167.

9.6 Cable and safety devices

The mains cables and motor cables must be sized as required by local stan-
dards and by the load currents that will be involved. The rated operational
currents are specified in Page 121 sqq.. Electric cables with adequate
insulation for the specified mains voltages must be used. The PE conductor’s
conductivity must be the same as the phase conductors’ conductivity (same
cross-sectional area).
In order to meet CE and C-Tick EMC requirements, a symmetrical, fully
screened (360°) motor cable must be used. It is recommended to use a four-
core cable in order to reduce the screening load resulting from leakage cur-
rents. A screened cable is not required on the mains side.
If the device is being installed as per UL standards, UL-listed fuses and
copper cables with a temperature rating of +75 °C (167 °F) must be used.
The motor cable must be an MC cable with a continuously corrugated alumi-
num armor and symmetrical protective earth conductors or – if armor is not
used – a screened power cable. The motor cable’s length will depend on the
EMC category.
NOTICE
When selecting fuses and cables, make sure to always comply
with all the regulations that apply at the installation site.

9.8 DX-LN… mains chokes

The DE1... variable speed starter’s rated input currents serve as the basis
used to determine which mains chokes should be used.
Figure 85: main chokes DEX-LN…
￫ If the DE1... variable speed starter is being run at its rated oper-
ational current limit, the variable speed starter’s maximum pos-
sible output voltage (U2) will be reduced to about 96 % of the
mains voltage (ULN) due to the mains choke at a uk value of
approximately 4 %.
￫ If using DE1...-34… variable speed starters, the mains choke’s

uk value must not exceed 4 %, as these devices feature a
“lean DC link”.
￫ Mains chokes reduce the magnitude of the current harmonics

up to about 30 % and increase the lifespan of variable speed
starters and upstream-connected switchgear.

9.10 Motor Choke DX-LM3…

It is recommended to use a motor choke if using long cable lengths and/or
connecting several motors in parallel. The motor choke needs to be placed at
the DE1... variable speed starter’s output. Its rated operational current must
always be equal to or greater than the variable speed starter’s rated opera-
tional current.
Figure 89: Motor Choke DX-LM3…
Advantages of using a motor choke

• Limits the dV/dt value
• Reduces voltage peaks
• Reduces bearing currents
• Motor life improvement (insulation, bearings)
Motor cable lengths if no motor chokes are used
• unscreened: 125 m
• screened: 65 m (+ approx. 50 % with motor choke, max. 150 m)
￫ Take into account the maximum permissible motor cable

lengths specified in IEC/EN 61800-3 for the relevant EMC inter-
ference category (C1, C2, C3 in first and second environments).
It is also recommended to use a motor choke at the DE1... variable speed

starter’s output if several motors with identical or different rated operational
data are being run in parallel. In this case, the motor choke will compensate
for the total resistance and total inductance decreases caused by the parallel-
ing link and will attenuate the cables’ higher stray capacitance.

10 Fault messages
DE1... variable speed starters feature several internal monitoring functions.
If they detect a state deviating from a normal operating state, they will show
a fault message:
• Operation will stop
• The Status LED will light up with a continuous red light
• The Fault Code LED will flash red (see list of faults)
• The relay contact (control terminal 13/14) will be opened
Run
Status
Fault Code
1 pulse - overload
2 pulses - external fault
3 pulses - over voltage
4 pulses - over current
5 pulses - over temperature
Figure 90: LED with fault message
If there is a fault message present, the Status LED will light up with a
continuous red light. Meanwhile, the Fault Code will flash a number of times
(pulses) corresponding to the fault. After a pause of two seconds, the series
of pulses will be repeated again (flashing frequency: 2 Hz). The faults that
occur most frequently in real-life applications are documented on the DE1...
variable speed starter’s housing:
Table 44: Fault messages on the DE1... variable speed starter’s housing
Fault code Cyclical flashing Meaning
(label on housing) frequency of 2 Hz
with 2-second pause
1 pulse - overload 1x Thermal motor overload

2 pulses - external fault 2x External fault message
3 pulses - over voltage 3x Overvoltage
4 pulses - over current 4x Overcurrent
5 pulses - over temperature 5x Overtemperature
In the event of mains undervoltage, the green Run LED will turn off and the
two red Status and Fault Code LEDs will flash synchronously with a
frequency of 2 Hz.
When the mains voltage is switched on or returns, the two synchronously
flashing Status and Fault Code LEDs will signal that the switched-mode
power supply is working and the DE1... variable speed starter’s operating
state will be checked before the Run LED starts flashing.

10 Fault messages
10.1 Acknowledge fault message (Reset)
If the DE1... variable speed starter has an internal communication fault (CPU
fault), the green Run LED will turn off and the Status and Fault Code LEDs
will both show a continuous red light. ￫ If this occurs, this means that the
DE1 variable speed starter is faulty and must be replaced.
10.1 Acknowledge fault message (Reset)
￫ The default setting for the DE1... variable speed starter is Auto-0
(P-30).
This means that, once a fault is fixed, the device will not be
restarted automatically, but must be reset instead. In this case,
a rising edge is not required for the enable signal. The enable
signal (DI1 or DI2) can be linked to 10 V.
Fault messages can be reset as follows:

• By switching off the supply voltage and switching it back on
• By switching off the enable signal and switching it back on (FWD, REV,
ENA)
• By pressing the STOP button if using an external keypad (DX-KEY-…)
• Via connections such as Modbus RTU, SmartWire-DT,
PC (drivesConnect)
10.2 Fault log

The most recent fault messages will be saved in the order in which they
occur (with the most recent one appearing first) and in parameter P-13.
The fault memory (P-13) can be read with:
• The optional external keypad (DX-KEY-…)
• The drivesConnect parameter software
• Modbus RTU,
• SmartWire-DT,
• CANopen – with DE11-…
￫ The fault memory cannot be cleared. It will retain its information

even if the device’s default settings are restored.
￫ When using the DX-KEY-LED keypad, it will only be possible to

view the most recent fault and the three faults that preceded it.

When the measured motor current exceeds “Motor Nom
Current”, the decimal points on the display (option) will
flash to indicate an overload condition.
If this condition persists, the speed starter will eventually
trip, displaying I.t-trP, preventing thermal overload of
the motor.
