3.3 Using the Electronic Bypass Configuration Switches   
The bypass configuration switches are a group of four switches that are 
used to tailor the   
 
Automatic Bypass 
Fire Alarm   
Damper Control 
Fireman’s Override   
 
Switch 1: Enables or disables the automatic bypass function. With switch 1 
in the ON position, and the electronic bypass package operating in VFD 
mode, a VFD fault will cause both the operation and run modes to be 
cancelled (stopping the motor) and the VFD Fault LED to illuminate in the 
Alarm Display.   
With switch 1 in the OFF position, a VFD fault will cause the bypass 
contactor to close, keeping the motor running on line power. As with the 
switch 1 ON configuration, the drive fault will be displayed in the Alarm 
Display. See section 3.8.2.  
Switch 2: Controls the bypass response to a fire alarm condition.    The Fire 
Alarm (switch 2) default ON position causes the opening of the fire alarm 
input (TB2-6) to stop the motor independent of whether it was being run by 
the VFD or the line.  When the motor is stopped in this situation, the 
previous operating state of the electronic bypass package will be restored 
by re-closing the fire alarm signal. It is recommended that VFD parameter 
6.09, Catch a Spinning Motor, be set to 1 if the fire alarm input is used.   
With the Fire Alarm (switch 2) OFF, the bypass will attempt to run the 
system “to destruction” in the event of fire.    Receiving a fire alarm signal in 
this mode will force the unit to bypass, causing the motor to operate off the 
AC line. The motor cannot be stopped locally or by external contacts in this 
mode. The keypad will appear to be “locked out”. The previous operating 
state of the bypass will be restored by re-closing the fire alarm signal   
To restate, the Fire Alarm (switch 2) ON equals “All Stop” and OFF equals 
“Purge”  
Switch 3: Used in damper applications where it is required to make sure a 
damper has opened in order to run the motor. The default ON position of 
Damper Control (switch 3) disables damper mode. With the damper mode 
set in the enabled OFF position, when the motor is told to start (either on the 
VFD or by the Bypass from the AC line) a 120 second timer is started. The
