About the 31ER4060
Model number 31ER4060 is one of the many bookshelves drives part of the GV3000/SE AC Series which was manufactured by Reliance Electric. The ER variables in the order code denote what kind of bookshelf drive the model is, and as such denotes that this model is not equipped with a CE filter. The 60 at the end of the order code indicates the regulator version which is both vector and V/Hz (Volts/Hertz) and requires a minimum firmware version of 6.0. This model of GV3000 series drive is sometimes more identifiable by its correspondent European part number 896.01.11, and is considered a member of a Reliance Electric legacy series. As a member of this legacy series, the 31ER4060 could have been manufactered by a number of trusted retailers following Reliance Electrics' own eventual discontinuation of the product, including Baldor Electric, ABB, or Rockwell Automation. AXcontrol is happy to offer this part for both repair and replacement, with a standard lead repair time of one to two weeks.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
When the 31ER4060 drive is being mounted/installed it is vital to ensure that the drive has enough clearance for airflow, the following clearances are the minimum clearances that can be used with this model;
-
Between Other Large Drives: 1.5”
-
Between the Bookshelf Drive and Side Cabinet Walls: .75:”
-
Above and Below the Bookshelf Drive: 4”
-
Between Bookshelf Drives: .25”
Ensuring that the airflow qualifications are met ensures that the model will operate at maximum capacity. Please note that bookshelf drives can be mounted together but under no circumstances should the models be mounted directly above each other.
Another feature vital to the installation of the 31ER4060 drive is the input line branch circuit fuses, these fuses are used to protect the input power lines associated with this drive. The nominal fuse associated with this model is six amperes with a maximum external fuse of twenty-five amperes. There is also an alternating current (AC) input current on this device which is five amperes.

Software Tips and Specifications
This bookshelf drive from the GV3000 legacy series, while impressive in its hardware specifications alone, features several convenient and customizable software parameters for efficient drive function. Split up into two separate drive menus accessible through the drive's built-in keypad display, one of 31ER4060's menus contains general parameters P.000 to P.006, with the second menu storing parameters for more complex operations. This drive's second parameter menu is accessible through careful use of the drive's PROGRAM key, available on the colorful LED interface. A second menu password parameter setting is needed to access this drive's full parameter table. Please note that if an optional RMI board is installed in the drive, then its correspondent RMI parameter would be accessible through the second menu as well. Both the first and second menus of the 31ER4060 drive support parameters for both volts/hertz and vector programming, as this is considered a dually-regulated drive.
If proper clearances are not ensured for the regular function of the 31ER4060 drive, this drive can be faced with the drive overtemperature fault. Symbolized with the fault code OH on the drive's built-in keypad display, this fault is due to a failure of the drive's cooling fan; usually compounded by a lack of sufficient drive clearance space. To return the 31ER4060 drive to regulatory function, the conscious user must check to the drive's ambient temperature, cooling fan, and minimum clearances immediately.

Compatibilities
While unique from many of the popular GV3000 series models of Relaicne Electric drive, the 31ER4060 does have a 6.0 regulator version, which encourages the use of several specific 6.0 regulator boards offered right here through AXcontrol. Our compatible PCB options for this 6.0 version drive include:
