4.  Replace cover and apply input power – digital operator shows “Frequency Ref 
00.0 Hz”;  DRIVE, SEQ, REF & STOP LEDs are on.  Press the LOCAL / REMOTE 
button.  The SEQ & REF LEDs should go off.  Press and hold the UP ARROW button 
until the display shows “6.0 Hz, then press the ENTER button.  Press the RUN button 
and note the direction of motor rotation.  If rotation is incorrect, remove power, wait for 
charge light to go out, then switch wires between terminals T1 and T2.  Replace the front 
cover and apply input power. 
 
5.  Digital Operator 
To access a “Quick Start” display, press the DSPL button until the desired display is on 
the screen.  Use the UP and DOWN keys to adjust the value then press the ENTER key.   
 
To access a parameter, press the DSPL button until the word 
“Parameter” is on the upper left side of the screen.  Use the UP and 
DOWN keys until the desired parameter number is on the right side 
of the screen, then press  ENTER.  Use the UP and DOWN keys to 
adjust the value then press ENTER then DSPL.
 
 
Before the drive will accept a RUN command, the DRIVE LED must 
be on.  Press the DISPL key until the  DRIVE LED comes on.  For 
more specific information on the digital operator, Section 4. 
 
6.  Control Terminal Wiring – Remove power and wait for the charge 
light to go out before making control terminal connections.  Control wiring should be 
sized 16 to 20 AWG.  
Control wiring should be 
shielded, with the shield 
wire connected to terminal 
E(G) and the other end of 
the shield left open.   As 
shown at right there are 
two SC terminals provided 
for wiring convenience. 
 
7.  Choose a configuration from Table 1 below.   Each example listed below contains a 
control wiring diagram, operation explanation, and all necessary programming.
