Name of option Function and application
External
potentiometer for
frequency
commands
An external potentiometer may be used to set the drive frequency. Connect the potentiometer
to control signal terminals 11 to 13 of the inverter.
Multi-function
keypad
Allows you to monitor the status of the inverter including voltage, current, and input power, as
well as to set various parameters in a conversational mode. Equipped with a liquid crystal
display (LCD).
Also allows you to copy function code data from one FRENIC-Eco inverter to another.
Extension cable
for remote
keypad operation
The extension cable connects the RS-485 communications port (standard) with a keypad or
an RS-485-USB converter.
Three lengths are available: 16.4ft, 9.8ft and 3.3ft (5 m, 3 m and 1 m)
RS-485
Communications
Card
This makes communication to a PLC or personal computer system easy. (Option)
RS-485-USB
converter
A converter that allows connection of an RS-485 communications port to a USB port on a PC.
Options for Operation and Communications
Inverter support
loader software
Inverter support loader software, Windows GUI (Graphics User Interface) based, that makes
setting of function codes easy.
Surge absorbers A surge absorber suppresses surge currents and noise from the power lines to ensure
effective protection of your power system from the malfunctioning of the magnetic contactors,
mini-relays and timers.
Surge
suppressors
A surge suppressor eliminates surge currents induced by lightening and noise from the power
supply lines. Use of a surge suppressor is effective in preventing the electronic equipment,
including inverters, from damage or malfunctioning caused by such surges and/or noise.
Arresters An arrester suppresses surge currents and noise invaded from the power supply lines. Use of
an arrester is effective in preventing electronic equipment, including inverters, from damage
or malfunctioning caused by such surges and/or noise.
Other peripheral equipment
Frequency meter Displays the frequency in accordance with signal output from the inverter.
Mounting
adapters
FRENIC-Eco series of inverters can be installed to your system enclosure or equipment using
mounting adapters which utilize the mounting holes used for conventional inverters of
FRENIC5000P11S (7.5HP, 20HP or 40HP) series.
FRENIC5000P11S 10HP, 15HP, 25HP and 30HP models do not need this adapter.
Other options
Attachment for
external cooling
This adapter allows you to mount your FRENIC-Eco series of inverters on the panel in such a
way that the heat sink assembly may be exposed to the outside. Using this adapter greatly
reduces heat radiated or spread inside your enclosure.
Applicable only to inverters with a capacity of 30HP for 208V, 40HP for 460V or below.
(On inverters with a capacity of 40HP for 208V, 50HP for 460V or above, you only need to
re-position the mounting bases.)
