The controller is suitable for direct connection to AC power lines within the rated voltage of the controller (see Appendix A). Listed below are certain power line conditions which may cause component damage or reduction in product life. If any of the conditions exist as described in the table below, install “one”...

A variety of cable types are acceptable for Installations with long motor cables may require variable speed controller installations. For many the addition of output reactors to reduce voltage installations, unshielded cable is adequate, reflections at the motor, and reduce cable provided it can be separated from sensitive charging current.

This chapter covers both display and program parameters. Display parameters are read only (they cannot be programmed), while program parameters can be changed to fit your motor control requirements. You must have a Program Keypad Module to view/change display and program parameters.
This group of parameters consists of commonly viewed controller operating conditions such as controller output frequency, output voltage, output current and frequency command. All parameters in this group are read only. Important: The last user selected Display Group parameter will be saved on power down. Display Group Parameter Description 5–2...

Controllers without a program keypad module come equipped with a fault LED. When the fault LED illuminates, a fault condition exists. Important: If a fault occurs, it is important to address and correct the fault as well as the condition that caused the fault. To clear a fault, perform one of the following: Controllers equipped with a program keypad module will flash the display when a fault is...
