CUSTOMER INSTALLATION, WIRING, & FUSING REQUIREMENTS ® • Do not mount EZ VFD where ambient temperature is outside the range of -10 to 40°C (14 to 104°F). • Installations in unventilated enclosures must be 1.5 times the controller dimensions or more, and the air temperature inside the enclosure and around the controller must remain between 10 to 40°C (14 to 104°F).
'MAX' Trimpot The MAX trimpot range is 48 - 120Hz. The MAX trimpot comes factory set to 60Hz. To decrease the MAX speed setting, turn the trimpot CCW to the desired speed. To increase the MAX speed setting, turn the trimpot CW to the desired speed. Refer to the MAX trimpot diagram for range settings.
'CL' Trimpot The Current Limit (CL) trimpot is set to 4.8 amps RMS from the factory. A CW rotation of the CL trimpot will increase the CL set point. A CCW rotation of the trimpot will decrease the CL set point. CL should typically be set to 150% of the rated motor phase current.
