VFD68 Variable Frequency Drives
Product Bulletin
The VFD68 Variable Frequency Drive provides
three-phase motor speed control in a variety of HVACR
applications. The VFD68 drive is designed primarily for
condenser fan speed control on HVAC and
refrigeration condensing units, but can also be set up to
control a variety of pumps, blowers, and fans.
The VFD68 drive accepts input signals from
P499 Electronic Pressure Transducers, or other
devices that provide a 0–5 VDC, 0–10 VDC, or
4–20 mA signal.
The application-specific design of the VFD68 drive
provides a simple interface, which makes the drive
easy to understand and operate.
You can quickly and easily reconfigure the VFD68 drive
to control variable speed pumps in cooling and heating
applications, or to control variable speed supply fans in
VAV applications.
The VFD68 drive is an RS485, RTU-compliant
ModBus® slave device and can be integrated into a
ModBus network.
