Thischapter defines thecontents and purpose of this manual and describes
the main characteristics of the CFW-09 frequency inverter. Identification of
the CFW-09, receiving and storage requirements are also provided.
This Manual is divided into 9 Chapters, providing information to the user on
how to receive, install, start-up and operate the CFW-09:

Technical description of CFW-09 optional devices and
Technical specifications (electrical and mechanical).
This Manual provides information for the correct use of the CFW-09. The
CFW-09 is very flexible and allows for theoperation in many differentmodes
as described in this manual.
As the CFW-09 can be applied in several ways, it is impossible to describe
here all of the application possibilities. WEG does not accept any
responsibility when the CFW-09 is not used according to this Manual.
No part of this Manual may be reproduced in any form, without the written
It is important to note the Software Version installed in the Version CFW-09,
sinceit defines thefunctionsand the programmingparameters of the inverter.
ThisManual refers tothe Software version indicatedon the inside cover.For
example, the Version 1.0X applies to versions 1.00 to 1.09, where “X” is a
variable that will change due to minor software revisions. The operation of
the CFW-09 with these software revisions are stillcovered by this version of
The Software Version can be read in the Parameter P023.
TheCFW-09 is a highperformance Variable Frequency
the control of speed and torque of a three-phase AC induction motor. The
technological advantage of the CFW-09 is due to the “Vectrue” technology
that provides the following benefits:
Programmable scalar (volts/Hz) or Vector Controlwith the same product;
Vector Control can be programmed for “Sensorless” (that means that
standardmotors canbe controlled without encoder feedback),or “Closed
Loop” (with an encoder attached to the motor shaft);
