CHAPTER 1
Introduction
This manual describes how to use the SP120 demo unit.
For complete product information, refer to the SP120 AC
Drive Installation and Operation Manual (D2-3456).
1.1 What Is a Variable-Speed Drive?
A variable-speed drive is an electronic device that controls
the speed, torque, horsepower, and direction of an AC or DC
motor.
Variable-speed drives offer:
• Improved process control by enabling you to control
virtually any process variable and to control your process
remotely with electrical interfaces.
• Reduced operating costs by enabling you to match the
motor speed to the load requirements.
• Reduced maintenance by providing a “soft-start” capability
that limits inrush current to reduce stress on mechanical
parts.
1.2 About the SP120 Drive
The SP120 drive is best suited for applications with these
requirements:
• A three-phase 1/4 to 5 HP AC induction motor is used
• 115 V, 230 V, or 460 V input is available
• On-board operator controls are desired

1-2
Using the SP120 AC Drive Demo Unit
The SP120 drive comes standard with four control selections
to meet specific application requirements:
•Speed potentiometer
•Single-channel analog input
•Preset speeds (up to 15)
•PID

2.2 Connecting Power to the Demo Unit
The SP120 AC drive demo unit is powered by a grounded
115 VAC input. Follow these steps to connect the power cord
to the demo unit.
Step 1. Stand the demo unit on a flat surface with the
handle and cover latches facing you.
Step 2. Open both latches and lift the cover. Then slide the
cover to the right to remove.
Step 3. The power cord is stored in the cover of the demo
unit. Press down on the spring-loaded fasteners
inside the cover to access the power cord.
Step 4. Turn the demo unit around and stand it on its feet so
that it faces you.
Step 5. Plug the power cord into the receptacle on the left
side of the demo unit.
Step 6. Plug the power cord into a grounded 115 VAC
outlet.
Step 7. Use the on/off switch located next to the power cord
to apply power to the unit.

CHAPTER 3
Programming Basics
To program the drive for a specific application, you display
the appropriate parameter and adjust it as required. The
parameters are used to define characteristics of the drive.
3.1 Parameter Menu Structure
Note that the dand Fgroup parameters are displayed in
sequence, but the A, b, and C parameters are grouped. You
must select the group before you can view the parameters
within that group.

3.2 Parameter Types
There are three types of parameters:
•Tunable parameters can be adjusted or changed while the
drive is running or stopped.
•Configurable parameters can be adjusted or changed
only while the drive is stopped.
•Read-only parameters cannot be adjusted.
3.3 How To Display and Adjust Parameter
Values Using the Keypad
The keypad is located on the front panel of the drive. You
must open the cover to access the programming keys.

Note the following when using the keypad:
•If you were viewing a display (d) parameter when power
was last removed from the drive, the same display
parameter value will reappear when the drive is
re-powered.
If you were viewing any other parameter value (A, b, or C)
when power was removed, the parameter group or
parameter number will appear when the drive is
re-powered.
•When viewing parameters within the A, b, and Cgroups,
the parameters will wrap from A01 through C91 by
pressing ▲or ▼. To view parameters within the dand F
groups, press PROGram until the display shows A - -, b - -
or C- -. Once the group letter is displayed, use ▲or ▼to
scroll to the dand Fparameters.

CHAPTER 4
Running the Demo Unit
The demo consists of three step-by-step labs to acquaint you
with the basic operation of the drive.
Purpose of the labs:
4.1 The Labs
Lab A: Reset the drive to factory defaults using the
following procedure.
Tools required: None
Step 1. Turn on the demo unit using the power switch.
Step 2. If a parameter number is not displayed, press the
PROGram key.
Step 3. Press ▲ or ▼until b - - is displayed.
Step 4. Press PROGram to select the b parameter group.
Step 5. Press ▲or ▼ until parameter b84 is displayed.
Step 6. Press PROGram to display the value of b84.
Step 7. Press ▲or ▼until 00 is displayed.
Step 8. Press to save the displayed value. b84 is
displayed again.
Lab A Learn the steps required to reset the drive
to factory defaults. This lab sets the drive
up for the next two labs. Run Lab A first.
Lab B Learn how to set up and run the drive in
local (keypad) operation.
Lab C Learn how to set up and run the drive in
remote (switches and speed pot)
operation.

Step 9. Press and hold PROGram, ▲, ▼, and
for 3 seconds.
Step 10. Release only. Hold the other keys down until the
display starts to blink, then release the remaining
keys.
d01 will be displayed when the defaults have been
successfully restored.
Lab B: Set up the drive for local (keypad) operation
using the following procedure:
Tools required: None
Step 1. Use the PROGram and ▲ ▼ keys to select the F
parameter group.
Step 2. Set F02 [ACCEL TIME] to 3.0 sec.
Step 3. Set F03 [DECEL TIME] to 3.0 sec.
Step 4. Set A01 [FREQUENCY COMMAND SELECT] to 00. This
selects the drive’s speed pot as the frequency
source.
Step 5. Set A02 [START COMMAND SELECT] to 02. This
selects the input from the Start key ( ) on the drive
keypad.
Step 6. Verify that A03 [BASE FREQUENCY] and A04
[MAXIMUM FREQUENCY] are set to 60hz.
Step 7. Set A82 [BASE VOLTAGE] to 230V.
Step 8. Set b12 [MOTOR OVERLOAD CURRENT] to 0.60 amp.
Step 9. After you have set the above parameters, press
. You should now be able to vary the speed of the
motor using the speed pot on the drive.
The CONF OUT indicator lamp turns on when the
requested frequency is reached.
Notice that the RUN LED is on to indicate the drive is
responding to the start command.
The LEDs above and the speed pot are on to
indicate they are active.
Step 10. Press to stop the drive.

Lab C: Set up the drive for remote operation (based on 2-
wire start stop).
Tools required: None
Step 1. Set parameter A01 [FREQUENCY COMMAND SELECT]
to equal 01. This changes the source of the drive’s
speed reference to an analog reference.
Step 2. Start the drive by pressing . Notice that the RUN
LED and the LED above are on.
a. Turn the speed pot located on the drive. Notice
there is no effect. Start/Stop is still from the drive.
b.Turn the remote speed pot. Notice that now you
can vary the speed. Notice also that the LED
above the drive’s speed pot is not on, indicating
that the drive’s speed pot is not the active speed
reference source.
Step 3. Press to stop the drive
Step 4. Set parameter A02 [START COMMAND SELECT] to 01.
This changes the source of the Start/Stop control to
the control terminal block.
Step 5. Set parameter C01 [DIGITAL INPUT 1] to equal 00
(forward).
Step 6. Set parameter C02 [DIGITAL INPUT 2] to equal 01
(reverse).
Step 7. Verify that switches C01 and C02 are both turned to
the left.
Step 8. Turn switch C01 to the right. Notice that the motor
rotates (cw). Then turn the remote speed pot to vary
the speed.
Notice that the RUN LED is on, but the LEDs above
and the pot are not on.
Step 9. Turn switch C01 back to the left. The motor should
stop.
Step 10. Turn switch C02 to the right. Note that the motor
starts to rotate (in the opposite direction (ccw)). By
turning the remote speed pot, you can vary the
speed.
Step 11. Turn switch C02 back to the left, and the motor will
stop.
