Mounting the Optional
Control Panel
The optional keypad control panel can be mounted to the
front of the AC drive by removing the dummy control panel
insert from the front of the drive and replacing it with the
control panel. The electrical connection is made using a
double ended modular phone plug that is about 1.25” long.
Insert the latching end of the plug into the jack on the back
of the keypad. As the control panel is set in position, insert
the other end of the phone plug through the opening in the
drive cover into the jack on the front of the drive. Secure the
control panel in place using the screws provided.
An optional mounting kit is available for mounting the control
panel remotely from the drive. For example, when the drive
is mounted inside a larger enclosure, the mounting kit is
used to mount the control panel on the enclosure door. The
mounting kit includes a cable about 10 feet (3 m) long and a
gasket that is suitable for NEMA 4 sealing. Mounting instruc-
tions are provided with the kit.
Note! The dummy control panel insert cannot be mounted
on the ACS 300 when the Control Panel connection cable is
connected.
Note! Use only a connection cable equivalent to the one in
the kit. Check the plug polarity. Pin one of the plug at one
end of the cable is connected to pin 6 of the plug at the other
end. The remainder of the connections are pins 2 to 5 and 3
to 4. If the cable is not correct, the control panel will be dam-
aged.
To minimize radiated RFI emissions, use a metal conduit for
the control panel cable if it is not enclosed by a metal enclo-
sure.
Mounting the
Optional RFI Filter
The optional RFI filter for frame R0 must be mounted as
close as possible the ACS 300. The metal housing of the fil-
ter must be grounded to the drive. If the drive and filter are
not mounted in the same enclosure, the filter should be
mounted in a small enclosure adjacent to the drive. The wir-
