WARNING: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precaution. Many electronic components are sensitive to static
electricity. Voltages are so low that they cannot be felt, seen or heard, can reduce the life, affect performance, or completely
destroy sensitive electronic components. When performing service, proper ESD equipment should be used to prevent
possible damage from occurring.
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the user or the person installing the Ingersoll Rand 302 Series VFD to
provide proper grounding, as well as motor overload and branch circuit protection according to the National Electrical Code
and local codes.

Cooling
The Ingersoll Rand 302 Ingersoll Rand 302 Series VFD is
cooled by means of air circulation. For the cooling air to
escape from the unit a minimum clearance must be left
above and below the unit.
The Ingersoll Rand 302 Ingersoll Rand 302 Series VFD
must be installed vertically.
To avoid overheating the unit, the ambient temperature is
not to exceed 115°F (46°C) and the mean temperature is
not to exceed 104°F (40°C). If the ambient temperature is
in the range of 115°F to 131°F (46°C to 55°C), there is a
possibility of a reduction of the service life of the Ingersoll

Modbus RS-485 Installation and Set-up
RS-485 is a two-wire bus interface compatible with multi-
drop network topology, i.e. nodes can be connected as a
bus, or via drop cables from a common trunk line. A total
of 32 nodes can be connected to one network segment.
Network segments are divided up by repeaters. Please
note that each repeater functions as a node within the
segment in which it is installed. Each node connected
within a given network must have a unique node address,
across all segments. Terminate each segment at both
ends, using either the termination switch (S801) of the
frequency converters or a biased termination resistor
network. Always use screened twisted pair (STP) cable
for bus cabling, and always follow good common
installation practice. Low-impedance ground connection
of the screen at every node is very important, including at
high frequencies. This can be achieved by connecting a
large surface of the screen to ground, for example by
means of a cable clamp or a conductive cable gland. It
may be necessary to apply potential equalizing cables to
maintain the same ground potential throughout the
network, particularly in installations where there are long
lengths of cable. To prevent impedance mismatch,
always use the same type of cable throughout the entire
network. When connecting a motor to the frequency
converter, always use screened motor cable.
Cable: Screened twisted pair (STP)
Impedance: 120 Ohm
Cable length: Max. 1200 m (including drop lines)
Max. 500 m station-to-station

Parameter Set-Up
The Ingersoll Rand 302 Series (VFD) can be used for
practically all assignments, which is why the number of
parameters is quite large. The series offers a choice
between two programming modes - a Main Menu and a
Quick Menu mode.
The former provides access to all parameters. The latter
takes the user through a few parameters making it
possible to start operating the frequency converter.

Protection and Features:
• Electronic thermal motor protection against overload.
• Temperature monitoring of the heatsink ensures that the frequency converter trips if the temperature reaches a
predefined level. An overload temperature cannot be reset until the temperature of the heatsink is below the values
stated in the tables on the following pages (Guideline -these temperatures may vary for different power sizes,
frame sizes, enclosure ratings etc.).
• The frequency converter is protected against short-circuits on motor terminals U, V, W.
• If a mains phase is missing, the frequency converter trips or issues a warning (depending on the load).
• Monitoring of the intermediate circuit voltage ensures that the frequency converter trips if the intermediate circuit
voltage is too low or too high.
• The frequency converter constantly checks for critical levels of internal temperature, load current, high voltage on
the intermediate circuit and low motor speeds. As a response to a critical level, the frequency converter can adjust
the switching frequency and/ or change the switching pattern in order to ensure the performance of the drive.

Efficiency of the frequency converter (η VLT)
The load on the frequency converter has little effect on its
efficiency. In general, the efficiency is the same at the
rated motor frequency fM,N, even if the motor supplies
100% of the rated shaft torque or only 75%, i.e. in case of
part loads.
This also means that the efficiency of the frequency
converter does not change even if other U/f
characteristics are chosen. However, the U/f
characteristics influence the efficiency of the motor.
The efficiency declines a little when the switching
frequency is set to a value of above 5 kHz. The efficiency
will also be slightly reduced if the mains voltage is 480 V,
or if the motor cable is longer than 30 m.
Efficiency of the motor (ηMOTOR )
The efficiency of a motor connected to the frequency
converter depends on magnetizing level. In general, the
efficiency is just as good as with mains operation. The
efficiency of the motor depends on the type of motor.
In the range of 75-100% of the rated torque, the
efficiency of the motor is practically constant, both when
it is controlled by the frequency converter and when it
runs directly on mains.
In small motors, the influence from the U/f characteristic
on efficiency is marginal. However, in motors from 11 kW
and up, the advantages are significant.
In general, the switching frequency does not affect the
efficiency of small motors. Motors from 11 kW and up
have their efficiency improved (1-2%). This is because
the sine shape of the motor current is almost perfect at
high switching frequency.
Efficiency of the system (ηSYSTEM)
To calculate the system efficiency, the efficiency of the
frequency converter (ηVLT) is multiplied by the efficiency
of the motor (ηMOTOR):
ηSYSTEM) = η VLT x ηMOTOR
