ACS 502 Control
Identification
The numbers and letters in the last seven spaces of the ACS 502 Model 
Number stand for the specific options included with your drive. Locate the 
Control Nameplate on the right side of the enclosure or inside the door of the 
ACS 502 and use Figure 2-2 to verify the options included with your drive. 
The first part of the part number is derived from Figure 2-1 by removing the 
letters AC in the first two places and the dashes (-).
