0 About this manual
This manual (MN040059EN) goes over the DC1 variable frequency drives
belonging to the DC1…20… and DC1…OE1 model series. These models are
enhanced versions (E = Enhanced) of the basic DC1-…-N version described
in manual MN04020003Z.
Some of the most important enhancements include:
• Coated boards (DC1-…-CE1):
This refers to units in which a conformal coating has been applied to the
printed circuit board (PCB). This conformal coating provides enhanced
protection from moisture and soiling and helps extend the device’s life.
• “Outdoor” devices DC1-...-OE1:
• The devices DC1-...-OE1 in protection class IP66 have an outdoor rating
and are additionally UV-resistant. They can therefore also be installed
outdoors.
• Vector mode:
In addition to standard V/Hz control, DC1-…E1 variable frequency drives
also feature a vector control mode for normal induction motors
(asynchronous motors) and high-efficiency motors (PM = Permanent
magnet motors, BLDC = Brushless DC motors, SyncRM = Synchronous
reluctance motors).
• Additional parameters:
The number of P00-… display parameters has been expanded to 50,
while the extended parameter set (P-17 =101) has been expanded to
include up to parameter P-59. Moreover, an additional parameter set for
high-efficiency motors has been incorporated for vector control
(P-17 = 201).
• Fire mode:
Fire mode refers to a special operating mode available on DC1-…E1
variable frequency drives that ensures that fan and pump motors will
continue to run even in the event of a fire.
• Optional accessories:
For cases in which an external keypad needs to be connected to a
DC1-…E1 variable frequency drive, either model DX-KEY-LED2 or
DX-KEY-OLED with a software update is required. Meanwhile,
DX-COM-STICK2 is the model required when a parameter memory
storage device and/or PC communications with Bluetooth are needed.
In case of communication via smartphone app (operating system iOS or
Android) the Bluetooth communication stick DX-COM-STICK3 is
required. DX-KEY-LED and DX-COM-STICK will not work with DC1-…E1
variable frequency drives!
