Further information
6.2.3 RFC-A mode (Sensorless control)
Induction motor with sensorless control
Action Detail
Before 
power-up
Ensure:
• The drive enable signal is not given (terminal 31)
• Run signal is not given
• Motor is connected
Power-up the 
drive
Verify that RFC-A mode is displayed as the drive powers up. If the mode 
is incorrect see section 4.7 Changing the operating mode on page 20.
Ensure: 
Drive displays ‘Inhibit’
Select RFC-A 
(Sensorless 
control) mode
•Set Pr 03.024 = 1 or 3 to select RFC-A Sensorless mode
•Set Pr 03.040 = 0000 to disable the wire break
Motor 
thermistor 
set-up
If a thermistor is connected to terminal 8, then the Analog Input 3 Mode 
(07.015) parameter must be set to Thermistor Short Cct (7), Thermistor 
(8) or Therm No Trip (9).

details
• Motor rated frequency in Pr 00.047 (Hz)
• Motor rated current in Pr 00.046 (A)
• Motor rated speed in Pr 00.045 (rpm)
• Motor rated voltage in Pr 00.044 (V) - check if   or   connection
Set max 
speed
Enter:
• Maximum frequency in Pr 00.002 (rpm)
Set accel. / 
decel. rates
• Acceleration rate in Pr 00.003 (s /1000 rpm)
• Deceleration rate in Pr 00.004 (s /1000 rpm) (If braking resistor 
installed, set Pr 00.015 = FAST. Also ensure Pr 10.030, Pr 10.031 
and Pr 10.061 are set correctly).
Select or 
deselect 
catch a 
spinning 
motor mode
If catch a spinning motor mode is not required then set Pr 06.009 to 0. 
If catch a spinning motor mode is required then leave Pr 06.009 at the 
default of 1, but depending on the size of the motor the value in 
Pr 05.040 may need to be adjusted. 
Pr 05.040 defines a scaling function used by the algorithm that detects 
the speed of the motor. The default value of Pr 05.040 is 1 which is 
suitable for small motors (<4 kW). For larger motors the value in 
Pr 05.040 will need to be increased. 
The thermistor input will be disabled until Pr 07.015 is set to 
one of the above.
