This document is an Installation, Maintenance, and Parts Manual for Dorner Variable Speed VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) Controllers, identified by the part number 851-953 Rev. A. These controllers are designed for use with AC motor speed control in both standard and heavy-load VFD gearmotors on Dorner conveyors.
Function Description
The Dorner Variable Speed VFD Controllers regulate the speed of AC motors used in various conveyor systems. They provide precise control over motor operation, allowing for adjustments in conveyor speed to suit different application requirements. The controllers feature a user-friendly interface with dedicated buttons for increasing and decreasing speed, a display for monitoring settings, and start/stop/enter buttons for operational control.
The manual categorizes controllers into "Industrial Controllers" and "Sanitary Controllers," each with specific model numbers and corresponding electrical specifications.

Usage Features
Installation:
The manual provides comprehensive installation instructions tailored to different conveyor types and mounting configurations:
- Industrial Conveyors:
- 2200 and 3200 Series Conveyor Mounting: Involves mounting rails, drop-in tee bars, end caps, hex nuts, and socket head screws.
- Aluminum Stand Leg Mounting: Utilizes drop-in tee bars, mounting rails, washers, and screws to secure the controller to stand legs.
- Sanitary Conveyors:
- 7200 and 7300 Series Controller Mounting: Involves accessory mounting clips, mounting plates, hex head screws, and washers.
- AquaGard® Sanitary Controller Mounting: Uses controller mount plates, mounting plates, hex head screws, washers, carriage bolts, standoffs, and hex nuts.
- AquaPruf® Sanitary Controller Mounting: Similar components to AquaGard, with specific instructions for mounting plates, washers, and screws.
Wiring:
- Emphasizes the critical importance of proper grounding and locking out power before wiring to prevent injury or death.
- Requires a circuit breaker or disconnect switch with fuses in accordance with NEC and local codes.
- Refers to the Invertek Drives Quick Start Guide and manufacturer's manual for detailed wiring instructions and terminations.
Controller Setup (Factory Default Settings for Gearmotors):
- 1 second acceleration time.
- 1 second deceleration time.
- Minimum frequency: 10 Hz for Sanitary units, 6 Hz for Industrial units.
- Maximum frequency: 60 Hz.
- Overloads set to motor Full Load Amperes (FLA).
- Additional information and desired settings are referenced in the Invertek Drives Quick Start Guide.
Maintenance Features
Preventive Maintenance and Adjustment:
- Required Tools: Primarily a flat-blade screwdriver for adjustments.
- Safety Warnings: Repeatedly stresses the importance of locking out power and not operating equipment with guards removed to prevent severe injury from hazardous voltage and moving parts.
