Danfoss FC Series Quick Start‐up Sheet
1. Set Main Menu P 0‐03 to [1] North America. Ignore the Alarm 60 for now.
2. Place a jumper wire between terminals 12 & 27 if a safety interlock will not be used.
Alternatively, programming terminal 27 via P 5‐12 to the value [0] No operation will
eliminate the need for a contact. If a Normally Closed safety contact will be used, wire it
between terminals 12 & 27 and program it accordingly. Press the reset key to clear the
Alarm 60 if it is still present.
3. Press the Quick Menu button, then go to Q2 Quick Setup to enter the following items.

Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA)
NOTE: It is recommended to always enable a complete AMA to tune the drive to the motor and improve performance.
4. Wire a start switch or contact between terminals 12 & 18.
5. Wire the speed reference on terminals 53 & 55 (+ on 53, common on 55).
NOTE: Remove the LCP and verify that the DIP switch for AI53 is set to the correct position. For voltage signals
it should remain in the default position, to the left. For current reference signals move it to the right position.
Be sure to scale the input to match the reference signals via P 6‐1*.
6. In North American defaults, Relay 1 is programmed for [160] No Alarm. Wire between
terminals 1 & 3 for Alarm indication. Relay 2 is programmed for [5] Running. Wire
between terminals 4 & 5 for Run indication. Use P 5‐4* to select different relay functions, if
desired.
7. The drive is ready to run at this point. The parameters listed below may enhance the
setup and can be used if desirable.
