11-Auxiliary Parameters 
 
11-00  Direction Lock Selection 
Range 
0: 
Allow forward and reverse rotation 
1: Only allow forward rotation 
2: Only allow reverse rotation 
 
If motor operation direction is set to 1 or 2, the motor can only operate in that specific direction. Run commands in 
the opposite direction are not accepted. 
 
Forward or reverse commands can be issued via the control terminals or keypad. 
 
Note: The Direction Lock Selection can be used in fan and pump application where reverse rotation is prohibited. 
 
11-01  Carrier frequency 
Range 
0: Carrier Output Frequency Tuning 
1: 1KHz 
2~16: 2~16KHz
 
 
Notes: 
(1)  Value 1 to 16 represents KHz. 
(2)  When 11-01=0, variable carrier frequency is used see parameter 11-30~11-32. 
(3)  For SLV and SV mode, the minimum value of 11-01 is 4 kHz. 
(4)  Setting range is determined by the inverter rating (13-00) and HD/ND mode (00-27). 
(5)  Refer to section 3 inverter derating based on carrier frequency. 
(6)  A low carrier frequency increases motor noise but reduces motor losses and temperature. 
(7)  A low carrier frequency decreases RFI, EMI interference and motor leakage current. 
 
Refer to the carrier frequency Table 4.4.14. 
 
 
      Table 4.4.14 Carrier frequency settings 
 
Carrier frequenc

Motor noise 
 High -------------------- Low 
Output current waveform 
 Fair --------------------- Better 
Noise interference 
 Low--------------------- high 
Leakage current 
 Low--------------------- high 
 
If cable length between the inverter and the motor is too long, the high-frequency leakage current will cause an 
increase in inverter output current, which might affect peripheral devices. Adjust the carrier frequency to avoid this 
as shown in table 4.4.15.

(11-01=2KHz) 
 
*. If Cable is longer than 200m, the output dv/dt filter or output reactor is required. 
 
Notes: 
(1)  Reduce the carrier frequency if the torque does not match the speed. 
 
(2)  In V/F and V/F + PG control modes, the carrier frequency is determined by parameters 11-30 (Carrier 
frequency max. limit), 11-31 (Carrier frequency lower limit) and 11-32 (Carrier frequency proportional gain).
