Optional modules – Functional extensions incl.
functional safety

The customer unit SK CU5-MLT described below may only be installed and commissioned by qualified
electricians. A qualified electrician is a person who, because of their technical training and experience,
has sufficient knowledge with regard to
• Switching on, switching off, disconnection, earthing and labelling of electric circuits and devices,
• Correct maintenance and use of protective devices according to specified safety standards.

DANGER
Danger of electric shock
The frequency inverter has a hazardous voltage for up to 5 minutes after it has been switched off.
• Only carry out work when the frequency inverter has been disconnected and at least 5 minutes
have elapsed since the mains was switched off!

NOTICE

Installation
Installation of the SK CU5-MLT must be carried out as follows:
1. Switch off the mains voltage and observe the waiting period.
2. Push the control terminal cover down and remove it.
3. Remove the blank cover by activating the release mechanism at the lower edge and removing it with
an upward rotating movement.
4. Break out the internal jumper of the STO contact with the aid of a small screwdriver or small needle-
nose pliers. Otherwise the customer unit cannot be installed.

Once the jumper of the STO contact has been removed, the frequency inverter cannot be operated with
functional safety without the customer unit SK CU5-MLT.

Wiring guidelines
If flexible cables (multiple strand or fine-wire) are used for connections on the terminal block X20, wire
end sleeves must be used. In addition, the wiring guidelines in the SK 500 frequency inverter manual
BU 0600 and the supplementary instructions BU 630  "Further documentation and software
(www.nord.com)"apply.
For the connections on terminal block X21 and X22, the wiring guidelines of the supplementary
instructions BU 0610 must also be observed  "Further documentation and software (www.nord.com)".

EMC-compliant shield connection

If shielded connection cables are used, the encoder cable shielding and the terminal connection cables
must always be connected on both sides. The connection can be made as follows:
• Shielding on the rear wall of the control cabinet
• Use of EMC kits
Depending on size and type or configuration level of the frequency inverter, two different optional EMC
kits of type SK HE5-EMC-…can be used for connection. The EMC kits are divided into three different
categories and depend on size.

Information
The EMC kits used for connection to the customer unit (SK HE5-EMC-CS-…) can only be mounted and
used in conjunction with those for motor connection (SK HE5-EMC-MS-…). Detailed information can
be found in the technical information on EMC kits  "Further documentation and software

Parameter overview

Information
All information on parametrisation can be found in the SK 500P frequency inverter manual BU 0600 as
well as in the supplementary instructions BU 0610 and BU 0630  "Further documentation and
software (www.nord.com)".

Information
Restricted visibility of parameters with external 24 V supply
Via terminal 44 the device can be externally supplied with 24 V (X6). This enables the values of most
parameters to be read out and changed by the usual parameterisation methods. However, this does
not apply for all parameters. The available display range is limited and essentially consists of the setting
values for bus communication (Ethernet, CANopen, USS). The device status is not available if the mains
supply is not connected (X1). Except for the communication sector, the device is therefore in a switched-
off state. For complete diagnosis of the device, a mains supply (X1) is required (230 V for single phase
devices, 400 V for 3-phase devices).

Error messages
Error messages that occur in connection with the customer unit are displayed in the frequency inverter’s
error memory in parameter P700/P701.

Information
Error messages of the optional modules can be found in the SK 500 frequency inverter manual BU 0600
and the supplementary instructions BU 0630  "Further documentation and software
(www.nord.com)".

Information
Error messages of the optional modules related to the POSICON positioning control or the travel
measurement system (encoder) can be found in the supplementary instructions BU 0610 on the
