back to Level II menu and shifts to the next function code.

• After you press PRG , the system does not save the parameter setting, but directly

returns to Level II menu and remains at the current function code.

Here is an example of changing the value of b2-00 from 0 to 100.

In Level III menu, if the parameter has no blinking digit, it means that the parameter cannot be modified. This may be because:

• Such a parameter is only readable, such as actually detected parameters and running record parameters.

• Such a parameter cannot be modified in the running state and can only be changed at stop.

4.3 Viewing Status Parameters

In the stop or running state, you can view multiple status parameters in b3-00 (Display in stop state) and b3-00 (Display in running state). For details, see the descriptions of b3-00 and b3-01.

4.4 Password Setting

The AFE drive provides the user password protection function. When b6-00 is set to a non-zero value, the password function is enabled. The password takes effect after you exit the

function code editing state. When you press PRG again, "------" will be displayed, and you

must enter the correct user password to enter the menu.

To cancel the password protection function, enter the menu with the correct password and then set b6-00 to 0.

4.5 Setting

The default setting of the AFE parameters can meet requirements of most applications. Generally, you can use the default setting of most parameters, and only need to set the AFE working mode and command source. The following part describes the setting in two working modes.

1. 4-quadrant working mode

Figure 4-4 Parameter setting of 4-quadrant mode

Set b6-01 to 1 to restore the default setting

Set b0-00 to 0 (Operation panel control), b0-01 to 0, and b0-02 to 1

Observe whether the grid frequency of b3-05 fluctuates around 50.00 Hz

Check that the grid voltage of b3-06 is normal

Check that the bus voltage of b3-07 is normal

Exit parameter setting, and press the RUN key

Set b6-01 to 1 to restore the default setting

Set b0-00 to 1 (Communication control), b0-01 to 0, and b0-02 to 1

The AFE automatically runs if there is no fault (no manual operation required)

2. Energy feedback unit mode

Figure 4-5 Parameter setting of energy feedback unit mode

Set b6-01 to 1 to restore the default setting

Set b0-00 to 3 (Automatic running) , and b0-02 to 3

Observe whether the grid frequency of b3-05 fluctuates around 50.00 Hz

Check that the grid voltage of b3-06 is normal

Check that the bus voltage of b3-07 is normal

The AFE automatically runs in energy feedback mode if there is no fault

Note

• In the case of 380 V power supply, the mains voltage displayed in b3-06 fluctuates around 380.0 by within 20%; the bus voltage displayed in b3-07 fluctuates around 550.0 V by within 20%.

• In communication control, you need to connect the AFE to the NICE3000new controller. • When the AFE is used together with a non-NICE3000new elevator controller, you can remove the

front cover of the AFE, connect the external operation panel or use an external terminal to start and stop the AFE; or you can set the AFE in automatic running state upon power-on. In this case, the AFE does not communicate with the controller, all AFE information such as faults, can be read from the operation panel.

The modification property of the parameters includes three types, described as follows:

"☆": The parameter can be modified when the controller is in either stop or running state.

"★": The parameter cannot be modified when the controller is in the running state.

"●": The parameter is the actually measured value and cannot be modified.

The system automatically restricts the modification property of all parameters to prevent mal-function.

Chapter 7 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

7.1 Maintenance

7.1.1 Routine MaintenanceThe influence of the ambient temperature, humidity, dust and vibration will cause the aging of the components inside the AFE, which may cause potential faults or reduce the service life of the AFE. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out routine and periodic maintenance.

Routine maintenance involves checking:

• Whether abnormal noise exists during running

• Whether the installation environment of the AFE changes

• Whether the cooling fan works properly

• Whether the AFE overheats

Routine cleaning involves:

• Keep the AFE clean all the time.

• Remove the dust, especially metal powder on the surface of the AFE, to prevent the dust from entering the AFE.

• Clear the oil stain on the cooling fan of the AFE.

7.1.2 Periodic InspectionPerform periodic inspection on the items that are difficult to check during running. Periodic inspection involves:

• Check and clean the air filter periodically.

• Check whether the screws become loose.

• Check whether the AFE is corroded.

• Check whether the wiring terminals have arc signs.

• Carry out the main circuit insulation test.

Note

Before measuring the insulating resistance with megameter (500 VDC megameter recommended), disconnect the main circuit from the AFE. Do not use the insulating resistance meter to test the insulation of the control circuit. The high voltage test need not be performed again because it has been completed before delivery.

7.1.3 Replacement of Vulnerable ComponentsVulnerable components of the AFE include the cooling fan and filter electrolytic capacitor. Their service life is related to the operating environment and maintenance.

Page 50: Elevator-Specialized AFE - INOVANCE · energy produced by the elevator during braking to the mains power system, recycling above 95% regenerative electric energy in the prerequisite

AFE User Manual Maintenance and Troubleshooting

- 49 -

The service life of the two components is listed in the following table.

Table 7-1 Service life of cooling fan and filter electrolytic capacitor

Component Service Life Possible Damage Cause Judging Criteria

Fan 2 to 3 years • Bearing worn • Blade aging

• Check whether there is crack on the blade.

• Check whether there is abnormal vibration noise upon startup.

Electrolytic capacitor 4 to 5 years

• Input power supply in poor quality

• High ambient temperature

• Frequent load jumping • Electrolytic aging

• Check whether there is liquid leakage. • Check whether the safety valve has

projected. • Measure the static capacitance. • Measure the insulating resistance.

The service life is obtained based on the following conditions:

Ambient temperature: average 30°C per year

Load rate: below 80%

Running time: less than 20 hours per day

7.1.4 Storage of the AFEFor storage of the AFE, pay attention to the following two aspects:

1. Pack the AFE with the original packing box provided by Monarch.

2. Long-term storage degrades the electrolytic capacitor. Thus, the AFE must be energized once every 2 years, each time lasting at least 5 hours. The input voltage must be increased slowly to the rated value with the regulator.

7.2 Fault Handling

The AFE has almost multiple pieces of alarm information and protective functions. If a fault occurs, the AFE implements the relevant protective function and displays the fault code.

You can handle the fault according to the possible causes described in the following table.

Chapter 8 EMC

8.1 Definition of Terms

1. EMC

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) describes the ability of electronic and electrical devices or systems to work properly in the electromagnetic environment and not to generate electromagnetic interference that influences other local devices or systems.

In other words, EMC includes two aspects: The electromagnetic interference generated by a device or system must be restricted within a certain limit; the device or system must have sufficient immunity to the electromagnetic interference in the environment.

2. First environment

Environment that includes domestic premises, it also includes establishments directly connected without intermediate transformers to a low-voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes

3. Second environment

Environment that includes all establishments other than those directly connected to a low-voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes

4. Category C1

Power Drive System (PDS) of rated voltage less than 1000 V, intended for use in the first environment

5. Category C2

PDS of rated voltage less than 1000 V, which is neither a plug in device nor a movable device and, when used in the first environment, is intended to be installed and commissioned only by a professional

6. Category C3

PDS of rated voltage less than 1000 V, intended for use in the second environment and not intended for use in the first environment

7. Category C4

PDS of rated voltage equal to or above 1000 V, or rated current equal to or above 400 A, or intended for use in complex systems in the second environment

8.2 Introduction to EMC Standard

8.2.1 Installation EnvironmentThe system manufacturer using the AFE is responsible for compliance of the system with the European EMC directive. Based on the application of the system, the integrator must ensure that the system complies with standard EN 61800-3: 2004 Category C2, C3 or C4.

The system (machinery or appliance) installed with the AFE must also have the CE mark.

Page 56: Elevator-Specialized AFE - INOVANCE · energy produced by the elevator during braking to the mains power system, recycling above 95% regenerative electric energy in the prerequisite

AFE User Manual EMC

- 55 -

The system integrator is responsible for compliance of the system with the EMC directive and standard EN 61800-3: 2004 Category C2.

WARNING

If applied in the first environment, the AFE may generate radio interference. Besides the CE compliance described in this chapter, users must take measures to avoid such interference, if necessary.

8.2.3 Requirements on Satisfying the EMC Directive1. The AFE requires an external EMC filter. The recommended filter models are listed in

Table 8-1. The cable connecting the filter and the AFE should be as short as possible and be not longer than 30 cm. Furthermore, install the filter and the AFE on the same metal plate, and ensure that the grounding terminal of the AFE and the grounding point of the filter are in good contact with the metal plate.

2. Select the motor and the control cable according to the description of the cable in section 8.4.

3. Install the AFE and arrange the cables according to the cabling and grounding in section 8.4.

8.3 Selection of Peripheral EMC Devices

■ Installation of EMC Input Filter on Power Input Side

An EMC filter installed between the AFE and the power supply can not only restrict the interference of electromagnetic noise in the surrounding environment on the AFE, but also prevents the interference from the AFE on the surrounding equipment.

The AFE satisfies the requirements of category C2 only with an EMC filter installed on the power input side. The installation precautions are as follows:

• Strictly comply with the ratings when using the EMC filter. The EMC filter is category I electric apparatus, and therefore, the metal housing ground of the filter should be in good contact with the metal ground of the installation cabinet on a large area, and requires good conductive continuity. Otherwise, it will result in electric shock or poor EMC effect.

• The grounds of the EMC filter and the PE conductor of the AFE must be tied to the same common ground. Otherwise, the EMC effect will be affected seriously.

• The EMC filter should be installed as closely as possible to the power input side of the AFE.

• The following table lists the recommended manufacturers and models of EMC filters for the AFE. Select a proper one based on actual requirements.

8.4 Shielded Cable

8.4.1 Requirements for the Shielded CableThe shielded cable must be used to satisfy the EMC requirements. Shielded cables are classified into three-conductor cable and four-conductor cable. If conductivity of the cable shield is not sufficient, add an independent PE cable, or use a four-conductor cable, of which one phase conductor is PE cable.

The three-conductor cable and four-conductor cable are shown in the following figure.

PE

ShieldPE conductor and shield

PE

Shield

The motor cable and PE shielded conducting wire (twisted shielded) should be as short as possible to reduce electromagnetic radiation and external stray current and capacitive current of the cable.

To suppress emission and conduction of the radio frequency interference effectively, the shield of the shielded cable is cooper braid. The braided density of the cooper braid should be greater than 90% to enhance the shielding efficiency and conductivity, as shown in the following figure.

Cable core

Internal insulator

Copper braidCopper shieldInsulation jacket

It is recommended that all control cables be shielded. The grounding area of the shielded cable should be as large as possible. A suggested method is to fix the shield on the metal plate using the metal cable clamp so as to achieve good contact, as shown in the following figure.

Metal plateMetal cable clampShielded cable

8.4.2 Installation Precautions of the Shielded Cable • Symmetrical shielded cable is recommended. The four-conductor shielded cable can

also be used as an input cable.

• The motor cable and PE shielded conducting wire (twisted shielded) should be as short as possible to reduce electromagnetic radiation and external stray current and capacitive current of the cable. If the motor cable is over 100 meters long, an output filter or reactor is required.

• It is recommended that all control cables be shielded.

• It is recommended that a shielded cable be used as the output power cable of the AFE; the cable shield must be well grounded. For devices suffering from interference, shielded twisted pair (STP) cable is recommended as the lead wire and the cable shield must be well grounded.

8.4.3 Cabling Requirement1. The motor cables must be laid far away from other cables, with recommended distance

larger than 0.5 m. The motor cables of several controllers can be laid side by side.

2. It is recommended that the motor cables, power input cables and control cables be laid in different ducts. To avoid electromagnetic interference caused by rapid change of the output voltage of the AFE, the motor cables and other cables must not be laid side by side for a long distance.

3. If the control cable must run across the power cable, make sure they are arranged at an angle of close to 90°. Other cables must not run across the AFE.

4. The power input and output cables of the AFE and weak-current signal cables (such as control cable) should be laid vertically (if possible) rather than in parallel.

5. The cable ducts must be in good connection and well grounded. Aluminium ducts can be used to improve electric potential.

6. The filter and AFE should be connected to the cabinet properly, with spraying protection at the installation part and conductive metal in full contact.

7. The motor should be connected to the system (machinery or appliance) properly, with spraying protection at the installation part and conductive metal in full contact.
