Page down to "issues" if you want to skip the boring back story.
Garage hobbyist. I have a 3HP Lagun FTV-2 mill and originally purchased a Teco L510 VFD for it. I opted for a Teco because it seemed to be the most popular VFD in the ~$200 price range and there are a lot of youtube videos on programming them. Because of help from the youtube videos I assumed the Teco would be easy to program, and it was. And it seems like a good unit. I posted a thread about it and got a lot of help from here as well.
I wanted to stop the mill quickly and the Teco has no external brake resistor option. So I recently sold the Teco and purchased a 3HP Fuji Frenic Mini. Same price range and recommended by Wolf Automation. The tech I talked to thought the Fuji is a better unit than the Teco.
Other than setting up the basic perimeters, there's few youtube videos on this model, so harder for someone like me to set up. My experience with the Teco did help though. And finding a "quick start" manual last night has helped as well. A lot easier to locate the perimeter codes. I included a link at the bottom.
Issues.
1) With the Teco, setting the carrier frequency to 16kHz made the motor noise almost inaudible. With the Fugi, if I set it at 16kHz it's quiet at ~29Hz speed and above, but loud below that. At certain odd settings such as 5kHz and I think 7 and 10kHz, it's the opposite. Quiet at lower frequencies and loud at higher ones. Am I doing something wrong?
2) Torque boost. Setting are F9 and F37 (page 20) I have F37 set to "2", Auto-torque boost. And F9 to 0 as it's not functional with F37 on auto. Is this OK?
