Page 11: Using An External Input Signal
Using an External Input Signal When using an externally supplied low voltage signal for external control, input voltage must be within 5-30V AC/DC. The wiring kit's RED wire is only intended to carry the +24V output signal from the drive and will NOT be used. The +24V signal (RED wire) is output from the drive only and should never be wired to another power supply. -
