Informazioni sulla sicurezza
Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury, damage to equipment, or property loss. This drive contains high voltage components and should only be handled by qualified personnel.
- Rischio elettrico: Ensure all power is disconnected and verified before performing any installation, wiring, or maintenance. Wait for the charge indicator to extinguish.
- Messa a terra: Properly ground the drive and motor according to local electrical codes.
- Personale qualificato: Installation, operation, and maintenance must be performed by trained and qualified personnel only.
- Condizioni ambientali: Do not expose the drive to moisture, corrosive gases, or excessive dust. Operate within specified temperature and humidity ranges.
- Arresto di emergenza: Always install an independent emergency stop circuit.
Impostare
1. Disimballaggio e ispezione
Carefully remove the drive from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. Verify that all components listed in the packing list are present.

2. Montaggio
Mount the drive vertically on a flat, stable surface. Ensure adequate clearance for ventilation around the unit. Refer to the dimensions provided in the specifications section for proper spacing. Avoid mounting in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
3. Cablaggio
All wiring must comply with national and local electrical codes. Use appropriate wire gauges for power, motor, and control circuits. Ensure proper grounding of the drive chassis and motor frame.
- Potenza in ingresso (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3): Connect the three-phase AC power supply.
- Motor Output (U/T1, V/T2, W/T3): Collegare ai terminali del motore.
- Terminali di controllo: Connect external control signals (e.g., start/stop, speed reference, fault outputs) as required by your application.

4. Accensione iniziale
Before applying power, double-check all wiring connections. Ensure no loose wires or foreign objects are present. Apply power and observe the drive's display. The drive should power on and display its default status or a ready message.
Operativo
1. Funzionamento di base
The V1000 drive can be operated via its built-in keypad, external control terminals, or serial communication. For basic operation using the keypad:
- Premere il tasto CORRERE pulsante per avviare il motore.
- Premere il tasto FERMARE pulsante per arrestare il motore.
- Utilizzare il SU/GIÙ arrow keys to adjust the output frequency (motor speed) if in frequency reference mode.
2. Impostazioni dei parametri
The drive's behavior is configured through various parameters. Access the parameter menu via the keypad. Key parameters include:
- A1-01 (Control Method Selection): Select V/f control, Sensorless Vector Control, etc.
- B1-01 (Motor Rated Current): Input the motor's full load current.
- C1-01 (Acceleration Time): Set the time for the motor to accelerate from 0 Hz to maximum frequency.
- C1-02 (Deceleration Time): Set the time for the motor to decelerate from maximum frequency to 0 Hz.
Refer to the comprehensive parameter list in the full YASKAWA V1000 technical manual for detailed descriptions and settings.
Manutenzione
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your V1000 AC Drive. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
- Pulizia: Pulire periodicamente l'esterno dell'unità e le aperture di ventilazione per evitare l'accumulo di polvere, che può ostacolare il raffreddamento. Utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto. Non utilizzare solventi.
- Ispezione della ventola: Check cooling fans for proper operation and cleanliness. Replace fans if they are noisy, vibrating excessively, or not rotating freely.
- Tenuta del terminale: Annually check the tightness of all power and control terminal screws. Loose connections can cause overheating and damage.
- Durata del condensatore: Electrolytic capacitors have a finite lifespan. Consider replacement after 5-10 years of continuous operation, depending on environmental conditions.
Risoluzione dei problemi
This section provides guidance for common issues. For detailed fault codes and advanced troubleshooting, consult the full YASKAWA V1000 technical manual.
| Sintomo | Possibile causa | Azione correttiva |
|---|---|---|
| L'unità non si accende | Nessuna alimentazione in ingresso; fusibile bruciato; guasto interno | Check power supply; Inspect fuses; Contact support if internal fault suspected. |
| Il motore non funziona | Incorrect wiring; Parameter settings; External stop signal active | Verify wiring (motor/control); Check parameter settings (e.g., frequency reference, run command source); Ensure no active stop signals. |
| Guasto da sovracorrente (OC) | Sovraccarico del motore; Cortocircuito nel motore/cavi; Rapida accelerazione/decelerazione | Check motor load; Inspect motor and cables for damage; Increase acceleration/deceleration times. |
| Sovravoltagguasto e (OV) | Energia rigenerativa dal motore; Alto volume di ingressotage | Increase deceleration time; Install braking resistor if necessary; Verify input voltage. |
