The user is able to customize the functions of the drive to better suit an application by selecting certain positions for the jumpers on the SLX9000 board. The positions of the jumpers determine the signal type of analog input (terminal #2) and whether the termination resistor RS-485 is used or not.
SLX9000 Adjustable Frequency Drives User Manual January 2009 CAUTION Check the correct positions of the jumpers. Running the motor with signal settings different from the jumper positions will not harm the drive but may damage the motor. Note: If you change the AI signal content also remember to change the corresponding parameters (S6.9.1, 6.9.2) in System Menu.
