Dart Controlsdetermines to its satisfaction to be defective. This warranty shall not extend to defects in assembly by other than Dart Controls or to any article which has been repaired or altered by other than Dart Controls or to any article which Dart Controls determines has been subjected to improper use.
INITIAL SETUP: Verify Correct Supply Voltage Jumper Selection and CL Trimpot Setting JU1 115V/230V Input Vac Jumper Selection. Before powering on up your EZ VFD you should always verify the correct Vac Input Jumper Selection Setting. For single phase 208/230Vac inputs the jumper should be connected to the 230V spade pin.
Introduction ® The EZ VFD Series is a volts/Hz variable frequency drive for 3-phase, 230VAC inverter duty AC ® motors. The EZ VFD comes in two styles – open chassis for control panel installation, and a ® stand-alone NEMA 4X enclosed model. The EZ VFD is suited for both constant torque (ex: conveyor, auger) and variable torque (ex: fans, blowers and centrifugal pumps).

When mounted vertically, there must be adequate spacing between the fins and any other object to allow for sufficient air flow through the fins.

CUSTOMER INSTALLATION, WIRING, & FUSING REQUIREMENTS ® • Do not mount EZ VFD where ambient temperature is outside the range of -10°C to +45°C (14°F to 113°F) Chassis or -10°C to +35°C (14°F to 95°F) Enclosed. • 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°C to +45°C (14°F to 113°F) Chassis or -10°C to +35°C (14°F to 95°F) Enclosed.
JP1 Jumper JP1 – When set to READ the trimpots can be actively adjusted and tuned for the users specific application. Every trimpot can be adjusted and tested while running a motor. Once the drive has been tuned to the desired setting, those settings can be stored to memory and locked by moving the jumper to the STORE position.
'DECEL' Trimpot The adjustable range of DECEL is a linear .5 to 30 second ramp from 60 - 0Hz. The DECEL pot is factory set to approx 2 sec from 60-0Hz. A CCW adjustment will reduce the ramp time and a CW adjustment will increase the ramp time. Caution should be given to DECEL ramp times below 2 sec as this may result in an over current shutdowns.
'BOOST' Trimpot The BOOST trimpot allows the the motor to overcome sluggish response at low speed starts or high' startup loads by boosting the output. To increase the boost setting rotate the BOOST trimpot CW. To decrease the boost setting rotate the BOOST trimpot CCW. To determine if boost is required for your application, use the following setup method.
