3.3.1  PotentiometerBox, SK TU3-POT 
The frequency inverter can be controlled directly from the device using 
the PotentiometerBox. No additional external components are required. 
The motor can be started, stopped and the direction of rotation changed 
by means of the buttons. A change of direction of rotation is triggered by 
pressing the Start or Stop keys for approx. 3 sec.. 
The required frequency setpoint for starting after enabling (green key) is 
set with the potentiometer. 
The LEDs indicate the status of the FI. If an inactive error is present (red 
LED flashing), this can be acknowledged by pressing the STOP key 
 
Note:  The PotentiometerBox must be activated via parameter P549 “PotentiometerBox 
Function” using the setting {1} “Setpoint frequency”.
