 If personal and fire protection are required during the use of the frequency converter, all-current
sensitive RCDs of type B must be used (in accordance with DIN VDE 0160 and EN 50178).
These provide reliable protection for the high frequency alternating currents and smooth and
pulsating DC fault currents arising during frequency converter operation. Standard RCD devices
of type A are not permitted.
 Only use permanently wired mains connections.
 Earth the frequency converter in accordance with DIN EN 61140; VDE 0140-1.
 Contact currents > 3.5 mA may occur in the VAU. In this case an additional protective earth
conductor with the same cross section as the original earth conductor must be fitted In accord-
ance with DIN EN 61800-5-1. The respective equipment instructions will provide information as
to whether the equipment requires additional earthing. A second protective earth conductor can
be connected below the mains supply (position marked with a mass symbol) on the outside of
the device. A suitable M6x15 screw (4.0 Nm torque) is provided with the adapter plate.
 If different voltages levels are used (e.g. +24 V/230 V), crossing cable runs are not permitted
under any circumstances! The operator must also ensure compliance with the applicable regula-
tions (e.g. double or reinforced insulation according to DIN EN 61800-5-1)!
 The circuit boards contain highly sensitive MOS semiconductor elements which are particularly
sensitive to static electricity. Conductor paths or components must therefore not be touched by
hand or with metal objects. Only the screws of the terminal strips may be touched with insulated
screwdrivers when connecting the cables.
 In a residential environment, this product can cause high-frequency interferences which might
necessitate interference suppression measures!
 Information on EMC-compliant installation, such as shielding, earthing and cable routing, can be
found in the documentation of the frequency converters. This information must always be complied
with, even for frequency converters bearing the CE mark. The compliance with the limits required
by EMC legislation is the responsibility of the plant or machine manufacturer.

3.2.6 Avoidance of electromagnetic interferences
Where possible use shielded cables for control circuits.
The shielding should be applied to the cable end with special care and without laying the wires across
longer sections without shielding.
Ensure that no parasitic currents (compensating currents etc.) can flow across the shielding of the the
analogue cable.
Route the control cables as far away as possible from the power cables. If necessary, separate power ducts
should be used.
If cables do cross, an angle of 90° should be observed.
Upstream circuit elements, such as contactors and brake coils,
or circuit elements operated via the outputs of the frequency converter must feature interference suppres-
sion. RC circuits are recommended for AC contactors. For DC contactors, free-wheeling diodes or varistors
are usually used. These interference suppression devices are fitted directly to the contactor coils.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
i The power supply to a mechanical brake should be routed in a separate cable where possible.
Power connections between the frequency converter and motor should always be of shielded or reinforced
design. The shielding must have large-area earthing at both ends! The use of EMC cable glands is recom-
mended. These are not part of the scope of delivery.
Wiring suitable for EMC must generally be ensured.

3.6 Installation of a wall-mounted frequency converter
3.6.1 Suitable installation location for wall mounting
Make sure that the installation location for wall mounting a VAU meets the following conditions:
 The frequency converter must be mounted on a firm level surface.
 The frequency converter may only be mounted on non-flammable surfaces.
 There must be clearance of 200 mm around the frequency converter to ensure free convection.

The figure below shows the assembly dimensions and the required clearances for installing the frequency
converter.

Fig. 17:

For the "wall mounting" version, the cable length between the motor and VAU must not exceed 5 m. Only
use a shielded cable with the required cross section. A PE connection (below terminal board of the wall
adapter) must be established.

3.6.2 Mechanical installation

1. Open the motor connection box.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
i The cable gland provides strain relief, and the PE connection cable must be connected in a leading
fashion (considerably longer)!
2. Use suitable EMC glands to connect the shielded motor cable to the motor connection box!
Ensure that the shielding has sound (large area) contact!
3. Connect the prescribed PE connection in the motor connection box!

4. Commissioning
4.1 Safety information for commissioning

Damage to property possible

If this information is not observed, the frequency converter could be damaged and destroyed during
subsequent commissioning!
Commissioning may only be performed by qualified personnel. Safety precautions and warnings
must always be complied with.

DANGER
Mortal danger from to electric shock!
Death or serious injury!
Make sure that the power supply provides the correct voltage and is designed for the required current.
Use suitable circuit breakers with the prescribed nominal current between the mains and the frequency
converter.
Use suitable fuses with appropriate current values between the mains and frequency converter (see
chapter 8).
The frequency converter must be earthed together with the motor in accordance with regulations. Non-
compliance may result in serious injury.

4.2 General information

The converter is not equipped with a mains switch and is therefore always carrying voltage once connected
to the mains supply.
If the voltage supply is connected to the converter, it is ready for operation
within a few moments. During this state the converter can be configured to the application requirements,
i.e. parametrised.
In the delivery state the converter is already parametrised for the customer-specific application. If necessary,
application-specific parameter records can be obtained from the respective responsible national agency
(see chapter 10 Service).
A detailed description of each parameter is provided in chapter 5.
The motor may only be started via a release signal after the parameters have been configured by qualified
personnel.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
i Some parameters only take effect after the mains voltage is re-activated. In this case the frequency
converter must be disconnected from the power supply for at least 60 seconds.
With certain parameter settings it is possible that the device starts immediately after activating the mains
voltage.

INFORMATION
i The parametrisation of the frequency converter can also be carried out with only small voltages,
e.g. before installing the frequency converter on the motor.
To this end the frequency converter features a 24 V small voltage input (terminal X5: 24 V IN &
Ground IN) to supply the electronics without mains voltage needing to be connected. The converter
indicates an error based on the missing mains voltage.

www.becker-international.com
35
4.2.1 KombiTool
The KombiTool is the parametrisation and diagnosis
software for the frequency converters approved by
Gebrüder BECKER GmbH.
The communication between the computer and the
frequency converter must take place via a suitable
interface converter.
The KombiTool is not included in the scope of delivery
but can be ordered if required. For further information
please contact your responsible national agency.

4.3 Basic configuration

The supplied frequency converter has always been parametrised with a basic configuration.
This includes in particular all regulator settings and regulator characteristics, temperature, speed and other
limit values and the basic electrical alignment between the frequency converter and motor.
It is therefore essential that the frequency converter is only operated with the device type for which it has
been supplied. Otherwise please contact qualified service personnel.

4.3.1 Pressure/vacuum mode

For the equipment to operate correctly with the application, it must be configured accordingly whether the
equipment operates in pressure or vacuum mode.
Some equipment types can only be operated as pressure or vacuum equipment, whereas in other equip-
ment the application depends on the equipment connection port selected.
In both cases it must be ensured that the configured operating mode matches the actual application in order
to prevent damage to the equipment.
The operating mode for the equipment is selected through corresponding parametrisation.

4.3.2 Operating mode

The operating mode largely determines the equipment behaviour in the application.
Unless specified differently by the user, the equipment is preconfigured for the operating mode of speed-
controlled operation.
This can be changed through corresponding parametrisation.

4.3.2.1 Speed-controlled operation

In speed-controlled operation the speed with which the equipment is to be operated is specified directly as
a setpoint. The equipment indexes this speed and maintains it even if the operating point of the application
changes.

www.becker-international.com
36
4.3.2.2 Sensorless control (internal control)
With the sensorless control a process variable, e.g. pressure or vacuum, can be directly controlled without
having to be measured by a sensor.
With correct parametrisation the frequency converter can calculate the process variable from internal vari-
ables and adjust them in line with the specified value.
For delivery the necessary characteristic parameters have already been configured in accordance with the
equipment type used.
With pressure or vacuum control the (relative) pressure difference can be set directly as a positive value
for either pressure or vacuum operation.

4.3.2.3 Process control (sensor-guided PID control)

For the process control a corresponding sensor must be connected to the analogue input.
The physical type of the process variable only depends on the type of sensor used.
The setpoint is specified as percentage value related to the maximum measuring value of the sensor used.

Caution: If an absolute pressure sensor is used for control in vacuum operation, the corresponding meas-
ured value might need to be inverted for correct control behaviour.
When using the process controller the control parameters might need to be adjusted to the behaviour of the
controlled system if the control behaviour is not satisfactory using the preset values. The process controller
has been designed as a PID controller.

4.3.3 Setpoint origin

The setpoint for the speed, the sensorless control or process control can be set in different ways, e.g. via
an analogue input or the RS485 interface.
Which way is chosen for a specific application must be configured with the corresponding parameter for
the main setpoint origin.
Unless specified differently by the user, the internal potentiometer is chosen as main setpoint origin.

4.3.4 Start/stop origin (release)

The release of the equipment for starting the ramp-up and for shut-down can also be issued in different
ways (e.g. digital input or RS485 interface). Which way will be used is determined by the parameter of the
start/stop origin.
Unless specified differently by the user, digital input 1 is configured as start/stop origin.

8.2 Derating of output power
Frequency converters of the VAU series have two integrated PTC resistors as standard which monitor
both the heat sink temperature and the internal temperature. As soon as a permissible IGBT temperature
of 95°C or a permissible internal temperature of 85°C is exceeded, the frequency converter shuts down.
With the exception of the 22kW controller (VAU 11-22/3 130%), all frequency converters of type VAU are
designed for an overload of 150% for 60sec (every 10min).
Reductions in the ability to handle overload and/or its duration should be taken into account in the following
circumstances:
 A switching frequency permanently set too high >8 kHz (load-dependent).
 A permanently increased heat sink temperature, caused by a blocked air flow or a thermal blockage
(soiled cooling ribs).
 Depending on the type of assembly, permanently excessive ambient temperature.
The respective max. output values can be determined from the following characteristic curves.

8.2.1 Derating due to increased ambient temperature

Fig. 23: Derating for frequency converter mounted on motor (all sizes)

Fig. 24: Derating for wall-mounted frequency converters (VAU 4/4 & VAU 7.5/3)

Fig. 25: Derating for wall-mounted frequency converters (VAU 7.5/3 with fan option and VAU 11-22/3)

www.becker-international.com
60
8.2.2 Derating due to installation altitude
The following applies to all VAU frequency converters:
 No reduction in performance is required in S1 mode up to 1000m above MSL.
 A reduction in performance of 1% for every 100 m is required from 1000m to 2000m. Overvoltage
category 3 is observed!
 Overvoltage category 2 should be observed from 2000 m to 4000 m because of the lower air density!
In order to observe the overvoltage category:
 use an external overvoltage protection in the supply cable of the VAU.
 reduce the input voltage. Contact the Service department of Gebrüder BECKER GmbH.
The respective max. output values can be determined from the following characteristic curves.

Fig. 26: Derating of maximum output current as a result of installation altitude

Fig. 27: Derating of maximum input voltage as a result of installation altitude

8.2.3 Derating due to cycle frequency

The following diagram shows the output current dependent on the switching frequency. To limit the heat
loss in the frequency converter, the output current must be reduced.
Note: The switching frequency is not reduced automatically!
The max. output values can be determined from the following characteristic curve.

9. Approvals, standards and guidelines
9.1 EMC limit classes
Please note that EMC limit classes are only reached if the standard switching frequency of 8 kHz is com-
plied with.
Depending on the installation material used and/or extreme ambient conditions, it might be necessary to
use additional sheath wave filters (ferrite rings). If the device is wall-mounted, the length (max. 3 m) of the
shielded motor cables (with large surfaces at both ends) may not exceed the permissible limits.
Wiring suitable for EMC also requires that EMC glands be used on both sides (frequency converter and
motor).

INFORMATION
i In a residential environment this product can cause high-frequency interference requiring interfer-
ence suppression measures.

9.2 Classification according to IEC/EN 61800-3

The generic standard defines test procedures and severity levels for every environment in the frequency
converter category which have to be complied with.

Definition of environment
First environment (residential, commercial and industrial area):
All “areas” which are directly supplied by a public low-voltage connection, such as:
 residential area, e.g. houses, apartments etc.
 retail area, e.g. shops, supermarkets
 public institutions, e.g. theatres, stations
 outside areas, e.g. petrol stations and parking areas
 light industry, e.g. workshops, laboratories, small businesses
Second environment (industry):
Industrial environments with their own supply network separated from the public low-voltage supply by a
transformer.

9.3 Standards and directives

The following specifically apply:
 Directive on Electromagnetic Compatibility (Directive 2004/108/EC of the Council EN 61800-3:2004).
