VLT 6000 Series Drives for HVAC

VLT 6000 Series drives are specially

designed for the unique requirements
of HVAC applications. Rich in standard
features, including PID control, energy
optimizing capabilities, and DC-link
reactors, the VLT 6000 Series provides low
motor noise with high eciency. With a
broad range of pre-engineered bypass
panel congurations and controls available,
the VLT 6000 Series is the ideal solution for
a variety of HVAC applications.

Customized Setup
All drives ship with customers application
pre-programmed. After input of motor
nameplate data, drive is ready for service.

Easy-to-Use Keypad
Keypads are interchangeable, allowing
parameters from one drive to be
downloaded to others. Remote keypad
mounting is also available.
User can see at a glance any four
of twenty-ve possible displays
simultaneously, such as drive frequency,
current, output kW, and output kW-h
Display can show process variables, such
as %, F, C, Pa, bar, RPM, in. wg., gal/s, gal/
min, gal/hr, ft3/sec, ft3/min, ft3/hr, or lb/in2

Monitoring Functions
Missing motor phase
Output ground fault
Loss of control signal
Loss of load or broken belt
Output short circuit
Low or missing input phase

I2t overload
Line and DC bus undervoltage and
overvoltage; output overcurrent

Performance Ranges

Communications

208 V: 1 to 60 HP
460 V: 1 to 600 HP
600 V: 1 to 400 HP

EIA-485 Interface
Fully equipped for serial communication,
up to 31 drives can be connected to one
serial bus up to 5,000 feet long.

Enclosures
Drive and option enclosures available in
NEMA 1, NEMA 3R and NEMA 12

Depth of Features
Built-in Two Setpoint PID Controller
eliminates the need for a separate
setpoint or PID controller.
Automatic Energy Optimization (AEO)
constantly adjusts the motor voltage
to optimize energy savings even under
changing speed and load conditions.
Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA)
optimizes performance and eciency by
measuring the motors stator resistance
and reactance without running the motor
or disconnecting the load.
Automatic Switching Frequency
Modulation (ASFM) provides quiet motor
operation at critical low ow conditions
and full output without derating at high
load.
Exclusive Digital Voltage Vector Control
provides nearly perfect output current
sine wave and full rated motor voltage
at rated frequency, resulting in high
eciency for both drive and motor.
DC-Link Reactor provides harmonics
mitigation equivalent to a 5% AC line
reactor, without the voltage drop and
ineciencies of AC line reactors.
Fireghter's Override Mode can be
invoked automatically by the buildings
automation system, allowing re and
smoke to be controlled, contained and
extracted by utilizing the HVAC system.

Built-in Serial Communications

Johnson Controls Metasys N2, Siemens
Apogee FLN (Floor Level Network),
and Modbus RTU are standard, built-in
protocols. Other serial communications
capabilities are available with the optional
LonWorks communication card and VLT
BACLink portal.
PC Communciation
Available free of charge from the Danfoss
website, the MCT 10 set-up software
provides monitoring capabilities and
control of drive parameters for multiple
drives from a Windows-based PC.

Options
Bypass, Disconnect, Fuses, and Circuit
Breaker option panels are assembled
at the factory's UL panel shop. All drives
and panels are built in ISO 9001 certied
facilities.
Real-Time Clock allows the system to
anticipate conditions or override the
setpoint for a period of time, enhancing
control, comfort and eciency.
Integrated Bypass conguration
economizes space in crowded installations.
EMI, RFI Filters, Input AC Line Reactors can
supplement the harmonic protection of
built-in DC link reactors.
Cascade Controller Card allows staging of
up to four additional motors or drives.
