HOA Selector Keypad with Jog Function

The HOA Selector Keypad with Jog Function allows for local start/stop control with capabilities to JOG and to Forward/Reverse motor direction.

EMI Filter

The EMI Filter is required to be CE compliant. When selected, a 3–meter shielded 4–conductor motor cordset is provided as standard. This is only available with sensorless vector control.

Control Brake Connector

An internal contactor is used to switch an electromechanical motor brake On/Off. The motor brake is powered from the control power circuit. The configuration of the R1 relay controls the function of the brake. A customer accessible 3 A fuse is provided to protect the brake cable. Included is a 3-meter 3-pin cordset for connection to the motor brake as standard.

Source Brake Contactor

An internal contactor is used to switch an electromechanical motor brake On/Off. The motor brake is powered from the line power circuit. The configuration of the R1 relay controls the function of the brake. A customer accessible 3 A fuse is provided to protect the brake cable. Included is a 3-meter 3-pin cordset for connection to the motor brake as standard.

Shielded Motor Cable

A 3-meter shielded 4-conductor cordset is provided instead of the 3-meter unshielded 4-conductor cordset, when the EMI Filter is selected.

IP67 Dynamic Brake Connector

The IP67 Dynamic Brake Resistor design offers simplicity in wiring and installation. The DB1 option must be selected in order to have the quick disconnect connectivity. See accessories for available IP67 Dynamic Brake Resistors.

Output Contactor

An internal contactor is sourced from control voltage to isolate the load side of the VFD. Control voltage or the at-motor disconnect controls the ON/OFF of the output contactor. A sequenced stop involving the output contact cannot be performed.

Safety Monitor

The Safety Monitor Option allows for independent monitoring of the output contactor status. The output contactor is provided as standard with this option. The function is implemented using the normally closed auxiliary contact which complies with
IEC 60947-5-1 for mechanically linked contacts. Two terminal blocks are provided as inputs to an external device, such as a safety circuit.


0…10V Analog Input Connector

This provides 0…10V analog input as an external frequency command from the analog input or remote potentiometer. A 5-pin micro receptacle is provided for connectivity. A shielded 5-conductor cordset or patch cord is recommended.
