OPERATION
The Fullmotion CF10C Inverter have support for Serial, Frequency and Drop-In com-
munication modes.
• The inverter is assembled with all commu-
nication modes and the control mode is
chosen automatically by the inverter.
4.1 Frequency control mode
In this operation mode the compressor speed is controled through a frequency sig-
nal sent to the inverter. Usually this signal is provided by an electronic thermostat.
The frequency signal is a digital square wave and its characteristics are described
on Signal specication table and Figure below.

From
0.7 V to 4.5 V the inverter behaviour is indenite, therefore, it is not recommended
to use signals within this range. The following gure presents a graphic example of
an input frequency signal of 125 Hz sent to the inverter. The digital signal duty-cycle
can vary in the range from 30% to 70%.
