Chapter 5: Operation and Programming

5.1

Introduction

The X5 AC drive is pre-programmed to run a standard, 4-pole AC induction motor. For many
applications, the drive is ready for use right out of the box with no additional programming needed.
The digital keypad controls all operations of the unit. The ten input keys allow "press and run"
operation of the motor (Operation mode) and straightforward programming of the parameters
(Program mode)..
To simplify programming, the parameters are grouped into three levels:
1. Enter Level 1 by pressing the Program (PROG) key at any time. Level 1 allows you to access
the most commonly used parameters.
2. Enter Level 2 by holding down the SHIFT key while pressing the PROG key. Level 2 allows
access to all X5 parameters, including those in Level 1, for applications which require more
advanced features.
3. Enter Macro mode by holding the Program (PROG) key down for more than 3 seconds. The
display then shows "Hold PROG for Macro Mode." See
