1 Start-up document
This document is a short start-up guide describing basic functionality of the drive BFI-H3,
firmware 2.50, manufactured from August 2019. Detailed explanations are to be read in
User Manual BFI-H3. This manual is attached with the drive itself but also possible to
download from www.beijerelectronics.se or .dk or .no or .de or .com or .tw or .co.uk/ or

2 Important Safety Information
Please read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION below, and all Warning and Caution
information elsewhere.
Danger : Indicates a risk of electric shock, which, if not
avoided, could result in damage to the equipment and
possible injury or death.
Danger : Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation other than electrical, which if not
avoided, could result in damage to property.
This variable speed drive product is intended for professional incorporation into complete equipment or systems as part of a fixed installation. If installed
incorrectly it may present a safety hazard. The BFI uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to control
mechanical plant that may cause injury. Close attention is required to system design and electrical installation to avoid hazards in either normal operation
or in the event of equipment malfunction. Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and maintain this product.
System design, installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out only by personnel who have the necessary training and experience.
They must carefully read this safety information and the instructions in this Guide and follow all information regarding transport, storage, installation and
, including the specified environmental limitations.
Do not perform any flash test or voltage withstand test on the

Electric shock hazard! Disconnect and ISOLATE the BFI before attempting any work on it. High voltages are present at the terminals and within the
drive for up to 10 minutes after disconnection of the electrical supply. Always ensure by using a suitable multimeter that no voltage is present on any
drive power terminals prior to commencing any work.
Where supply to the drive is through a plug and socket connector, do not disconnect until 10 minutes have elapsed after turni
Ensure correct earthing connections. The earth cable must be sufficient to carry the maximum supply fault current which normally will be limited by the
fuses or MCB. Suitably rated fuses or MCB should be fitted in the mains supply to the drive, according to any local legislation or codes.
Do not carry out any work on the drive control cables whilst power is applied to the drive or to the external control circuits.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply with Directive 98/37/EC, Safety of Machinery. In particular, the
machine manufacturer is responsible for providing a main switch and ensuring the electrical equipment complies with EN60204
The level of integrity offered by the BFI control input functions – for example stop/start, forward/reverse and maximum speed is not sufficient for use in
safety-critical applications without independent channels of protection. All applications where malfunction could cause injury or loss of life must be

The driven motor can start at power up if the enable input signal is present.
The STOP function does not remove potentially lethal high voltages. ISOLATE the drive and wait 10 minutes before starting any work on it. Never carry
ork on the Drive, Motor or Motor cable whilst the input power is still applied.
The BFI can be programmed to operate the driven motor at speeds above or below the speed achieved when connecting the motor directly to the mains
supply. Obtain confirmation from the manufacturers of the motor and the driven machine about suitability for operation over the intended speed range
prior to machine start up.
Do not activate the automatic fault reset function o

or IP66 depending on the model.
IP20 units must be installed in a suitable enclosure.
When mounting the drive, ensure that sufficient cooling is provided. Do not carry out drilling operations with the drive in place, dust and swarf from
drilling may lead to damage.
