ConfiguringVFDsforusewiththeLMV52

ModernVFDstypicallyhavehundredsofparametersthatcanbesettotailortheVFDtoaspecific
application.Asmentionedearlier,therearealsoatleastahundreddifferentmanufacturersofVFDs,
eachofwhichhavetheirownuniqueparameterlist.Duetothesetwofa ctors,SCCInc.offerspre‐
programmedVFDsthatcanbepurchasedwiththeVFDparameterssetupforusewithanLMV52.

IfaVFDforusewithanLMV52ispurchasedandpr
ogrammedindependently,thefollowingpointswill
serveasageneralguidelineforprogrammingtheVFDfortheLMV52application.Notethatthis
guidelineisnecessarilygeneralduetothevarietyofVFDs offeredinthemarketplace.

1. IfaVectorVFDisused(rec
ommended),setthe"ControlMethod"toOpenLoopVectormodeor
equivalent.

2. Thestoppingmethod(aftertherun/stopcontactisopened)shouldbesetto"CoasttoStop"tolet
themotorcoasttoastopafterpost‐purge.

3. Reverseoperation(theabi
litytoreversethemotorwith an input)shouldbedisabled.

4. ConfiguretheVFDtoacceptanexternalrun/stopsignalviathedrycontactontheLMV52.
