3. SHIPMENT, STORAGE AND HANDLING

Check the conditions of the motor immediately upon receipt. Where any damage is noticed, this must be reported in writing
to the transportation company, and immediately communicated to the insurance company and to WEG. In this case, no
installation job can be started before the detected problem has been solved.
Check if the nameplate data matches the invoice data and the environmental conditions in which the motor will be installed.
If the motor is not immediately installed, it must be stored in a clean and dry room protected against dust, vibrations, gases
and corrosive agents, and with temperature between -25 ºC and 60 ºC and relative humidity not exceeding 60%.
If the motors are stored for more than two years, it is recommended to change the bearings, or to remove, wash, inspect
and relubricate them before the motor is started.

DANGER!
g Always handle the motor carefully in order to prevent personal injuries and impacts that could damage the
bearings.
 When available, do not lift and/or carry the product holding by the input cables.
 When available, use only the eyebolts to lift the motor. However, these eyebolts are designed for the motor weight
only. Thus, never use these eyebolts to lift the motor with additional loads coupled to it. For multimounting motors (with
removable feet/ base), the eyebolts must be positioned according to the motor mounting position so that the lifting angle
is vertically aligned (lifting at 0°).
 Additional information regarding the maximum allowable angle-of-inclination is indicated in the general manual
available on the website www.weg.net.

5. INSTALLATION
DANGER!
g Make sure the AC power supply is disconnected and protected against accidental energization before starting

the installation;
 Check the motor direction of rotation, turning it without load before it is coupled to the load;
 To prevent accidents, ensure that the grounding connection has been performed according to the applicable
standards and that the shaft key has been securely fastened before the motor is started;
 When available, do not lift and/or carry the product holding by the input cables.
Motors must be only installed in places compatible with their mounting features and in applications and environments for
which they are intended.
Those motors with feet must be installed on bases duly planned in order to prevent vibrations and assure perfect alignment.
The motor shaft must be properly aligned with the shaft of the driven machine. Incorrect alignment, as well as improper
belt tension, will certainly damage the bearings, resulting in excessive vibrations and even causing the shaft to rupture. The
admissible shaft radial and axial loads for standard bearings are specified on the Table 1 and Table 2. Use flexible coupling
whenever possible.

6.6. FIRE MODE FUNCTION (OPTIONAL)

DANGER!
Notice that the WECM / Emerald eZA is just one of the components of the ventilation system, and it is configurable
for different functions, including the “Fire Mode” function;
Thus, the full operation of the “Fire Mode” function depends on the accuracy of the project and on the joint performance
of the components of the system;
Ventilation systems that work on life safety applications must be approved by the Fire Department and/or another
competent public authority , according to local regulations;
The non-interruption of the operation of the WECM / Emerald eZA, when configured for operation in the “Fire Mode”
function, is critical and must be taken into account in the preparation of safety plans in the environments in which they
are installed, since damages may occur to the WECM / Emerald eZA itself and to other components of the ventilation
system, to the environment in which it is installed and to people with risk of death;
The operation in the “Fire Mode” function may, under certain circumstances, result in fire, since the protection devices
will be disabled;
Only personnel from engineering and safety must consider the configuration of the equipment for the “Fire Mode”
function;
WEG strongly recommends to follow the cares and procedures above before using the WECM / Emerald eZA in the
“Fire Mode” function, and it will not be liable to the final user or third parties for any losses or damages direct or indirectly
incurred due to the programming and operation of the WECM / Emerald eZA in “Fire Mode” regime, considering the
critical and special use of this function.

NOTE!
WECM are not ‘smoke extraction’ motors (as defined in EN 12101-3) and may not under any circumstances be
installed inside the high temperature airstream.

NOTE!
When the user activates the "Fire Mode" function, he/she acknowledges that the protection functions of the
WECM / Emerald eZA are disabled, which may result in damages to the WECM / Emerald eZA itself, to the
components connected to it, to the environment in which it is installed and to people present in such environment;
therefore, the user takes full responsibility for the risks arising from such operating condition. Operation with the “Fire
Mode” function programmed voids the warranty of the product. The operation in this condition is internally registered by
the WECM / Emerald eZA and must be validated by a duly qualified professional of engineering and occupational safety,
since such procedure significantly increases the operating risk.

The “Fire Mode” function is intended to make the WECM / Emerald eZA continue work under adverse conditions, inhibiting
most faults generated by the electronic in order to protect itself or protect the motor.
The “Fire Mode” is selected by applying 10VDC to the frequency input. The built-in 10 VDC source can be used. When
selected, the motor will speed up to the maximum speed set and will disable all motor software protections.
The only possible way to turn off the “Fire Mode” operation function is to de-energize the complete solution and energize
it back again.

 Step 2: Writing Register W(06) 0x0136 and W(06) 0x0137 according to Table 7 and Table 8, other values are invalid;
 Step 3: Writing “1” into Register W(05) 0x0192 to enable new serial configuration as Step 2;
 Step 4: After Step 3, Master with original configuration will losses communication with slaver, then master needs to
change to new serial configuration, rebuild the communication with slaver.

7. PRODUCT PROTECTIONS AND FAULT DIAGNOSIS

WECM / Emerald eZA products have the following electronic protections:
 Input under voltage protection.
 Input over voltage protection.
 Input over load protection.
 Locked rotor protection.
 Over temperature protection.
 Output overcurrent / short-circuit protection.
WECM / Emerald eZA products have LED’s in the opening on the back side to indicate the solution status and to help in
the fault diagnosis:

Input Power supply Motor status LED #1 LED #2

Off Stopped Off Off

On Stopped Off Blinking (1 Hz)
On Running On Blinking (1 Hz)

Blinking according fault

On Fault Blinking (1 Hz)
(check Table 9)

DANGER!
g The LED in OFF condition doesn`t mean that there is no power supply to the drive;

g Make sure that the input power supply is disconnected before do any maintenance in the product.

 If the Fire Mode function is active, the failures will be detected, but ignored by WECM / Emerald eZA, i.e., will not
block the IGBTs. If the motor was spinning, will continue spinning. For more information see item 6.5
The LED #1 will blink in case of any fault. Table 10 indicates the blinking behavior according the fault type:
Blinking periods Fault ON time (s) Off time (s) Wait / interval time (off) (s)
2 Under voltage 0,1 0,1 -
3 Over current (shor-circuit)
5 Over temperature
6 Over voltage
7 Over load
0,25 0,25 2
8 Over speed
9 Communication timeout
10 Watchdog fault
11 Locked rotor

Table 11 - The blinking behavior according to fault type

 Communication timeout fault: failure in the drive to motor communication;
 Watchdog timeout fault: failure in the drive processor / software.
7.1. INFORMATION FOR CONTACTING TECHNICAL SUPPORT
For technical support and servicing, it is important to have the following information in hands:
Motor model, Batch number, and manufacturing date available in the motor nameplate (refer to item 4).
 Installed software version available in the drive label (refer to item 4).

WECM / Emerald eZA Manual | 19

 www.weg.net

8. MAINTENANCE
DANGER!
g Before any service is performed, ensure that motor is it at standstill, disconnected from the power supply and

protected against accidental energization. Even when the motor is stopped, dangerous voltages may be present
in space heater terminals;
 For motors with permanent magnet rotor (WECM and Emerald eZA), the motor assembly and disassembly require
the use of proper devices due to the attracting or repelling forces that occur between metallic parts. This work must only
be performed by a WEG Authorized service center specifically trained for such an operation. People with pacemakers
cannot handle these motors. The permanent magnets can also cause disturbances or damages to other electric
equipment and components during maintenance.

ATTENTION!
g Motor disassembly during the warranty period must be performed by a WEG authorized service center only;

g Regularly inspect the operation of the motor, according to its application, and ensure a free air flow. Inspect

the seals, the fastening bolts, the bearings, the vibration and noise levels, the drain operation, etc. The lubrication interval
is specified on the motor nameplate.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
For information regarding disposal at end of life cycle refer to the manual “Disposal and Environmental Information” available
in the website www.weg.net or contact WEG.
10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For further information about shipment, storage, handling, installation, operation and maintenance of electric motors,
access the website www.weg.net.
For special applications and operating conditions refer to the manual 50033244 available in the website or contact WEG.
When contacting WEG, please, have the full description of the motor at hand, as well as the Motor model, Batch Number
and manufacturing date, indicated on the motor nameplate.
