The Inverter contains a number of settings
which can be changed to tailor it for use in a
wide range of applications. These settings are
known as parameters.
Parameters are typically referred to by code or
number (eg. P0305 = Rated Motor Current)
with a description available in the manual.
The parameters contain critical information
essential to the correct operation of the
Inverter. Therefore, they should at least be
checked by the user before the Inverter is
operated for the first time.
The parameters listed in section 5 are intended
to provide a starting point to allow for basic
operation of the V20 Inverter.
5. Parameters to set before use
See section 6 to learn how to set a parameter value.
Set the following parameters to allow the V20
to control a motor with Run, Stop and Speed
Control from the integrated keypad.
If any of the parameters have been changed
previously, follow the procedure in section 12
to reset the Inverter to Factory Defaults.
