1-10 Installation and Wiring
• When a DC contactor and dynamic brake contactor are used:
❏ Set parameter 1391
[ContactorControl] to “DC Cntctr+DB”
(1)
❏ Set one [Relay Out x Sel] parameter (1392 [Relay Out 1 Sel] or 629
[Relay Out 2 Sel]) to “Contactor” and the other relay output to
“ContactorDB”
❏ Set one [Digital Inx Sel] parameter to “Contactor” (default value
for parameter 140
[Digital In8 Sel])
• When a contactor is NOT used:
❏ Set parameter 1391
[ContactorControl] to “None”
(1)
❏ Do NOT set either [Relay Out x Sel] parameter to “Contactor” or
“ContactorDB”
❏ Do NOT set any [Digital Inx Sel] parameter to “Contactor”
When operating a drive with firmware version 1.006 in field weakening
mode with a DC contactor and/or inverting fault device installed in the
armature circuit, refer to Field Weakening Mode Configuration (v1.006) on
page C-5.
AC Input Contactors
Refer to AC Input Line Reactors and AC Input Contactors on page A-17 for
a list of recommended AC input contactors.
DC Output Contactors
A DC output contactor can be used to connect the output of the armature
circuit to the DC motor. If a DC output contactor is used, an AC input
contactor is not needed.
Refer to DC Output Contactors and Dynamic Brake Resistor Kits on
page A-19 for a list of recommended DC output contactors.
Dynamic Brake Resistors
Refer to DC Output Contactors and Dynamic Brake Resistor Kits on
page A-19 for a list of recommended dynamic brake resistor kits.

Par 1391 [ContactorControl] is contained in the “Advanced” parameter configuration group. Refer to How
Parameters are Organized on page 3-3 for more information.
