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.

8.1 Parameters to change for remote Potentiometer speed control
If speed control via the up and down keys is
unsuitable for the application, a remote
Potentiometer can be used instead.
This provides the benefit of allowing motor
speed to be controlled from a more convenient
location such as a cabinet door (if the V20 is
cabinet-mounted) or on the machine itself.
A Potentiometer of more than 5kOhm rating
should be used eg. .10kOhm
The number of turns depends on the
application but both single turn and ten turn
Potentiometers are available from The Inverter
Drive Supermarket at InverterDrive.com.
8.2 Connecting the Potentiometer
A wiring diagram is shown in the illustration
opposite. The most important connection at
the Potentiometer end is the centre terminal or
“wiper”. The wiper will output a variable voltage
between 0 and 10 volts and should be
connected to the AI1 terminal on the Inverter. It
is this voltage which provides the speed signal
with 0V being slowest and 10V fastest.
The default output frequency at 10V is
determined by parameter P2000. The default
output frequency at 0V is determined by P0758
as a percentage of P2000.
If the rotation of the Potentiometer is the
opposite to that required (ie. turn anti-
clockwise to increase speed instead of
clockwise) reverse connections 10V and 0V.
Use screened cable between the Inverter and
Potentiometer. To minimise electromagnetic
interference, ensure the screen is grounded.

9. How to connect and configure a Run Forward or
Run Reverse switch
9.1 Parameters to change for remote Run/Stop
The procedure described in Section 7 enable
Run/Stop operation via the red and green
buttons on the Inverter.
If this is unsuitable for the application, a remote
switch can be used instead.
This section explains how to enable 2-wire
control with Run Forward / Stop / Run Reverse
commands via a single selector switch.
9.2 Connecting the Switch
A wiring diagram is shown in the illustration
opposite. The 24V terminal is a common
connection for terminals DI1 and DI2. Note that
DIC and 0V must be linked (blue wire).
A suitable 3 position NO (Normally Open)
switch should be installed between terminals
DI1, DI2 and 24V. The centre position should
remain open circuit.
When a connection is made between terminals
DI2 and 24V, the motor will run forward. When
terminals DI1 and 24V are connected, the
motor will run in reverse.
If terminals DI1 and DI2 are connected to 24V
at the same time the motor will stop.

11. How to configure “3-Wire” control with Run/Stop
pushbuttons and Forward/Reverse selection
The procedure described in Section 7 enable
Run/Stop operation via the red and green
buttons on the Inverter.
If this is unsuitable for the application, remote
switches can be used instead.
This section explains how to enable 3-wire
control with Run and Stop commands via
separate pushbuttons and Forward/Reverse
selection via a selector switch.
11.1 Parameters to change for remote 3-wire control
11.2 Connecting the Switches
A wiring diagram is shown in the illustration
opposite. The 24V terminal is a common
connection for terminals DI1, DI2 and DI3.
Note that DIC and 0V must be linked (blue
wire).
For “Run” and “Stop”, two suitable
pushbuttons should be installed. The “Run”
pushbutton should include a Normally Open
contact between terminals 24V and DI2 and
the “Stop” a Normally Closed contact between
terminals 24V and DI1.
For “Forward/Reverse” a suitable 2 position
NO (Normally Open) switch should be installed
between terminals 24V and DI3. A momentary
connection between 24V and DI2 will start the
motor. It will continue to run until the
connection between 24V and DI1 is broken.
Note that the Forward/Reverse switch only
selects the direction of rotation - it will not start
or stop the motor. If the application only
requires the motor to turn in one direction, the
Forward/Reverse switch can be omitted.
