1. Operator Devices
Operator Devices for Disconnect Drive – The following section does not apply to the Disconnect Drive Panels.
All door mounted operator functions and annunciations are provided through the drive’s keypad.
Your panel is equipped with several panel door mounted operator devices which may include the following:
one (1) through-the-door, lockable, input device disconnect handle; two (2) operator selector switches; and five
(4) indicator lights. The operation of these devices is explained in this section. Refer to the Drive Terminal
Board I/O section of this manual and wiring diagrams for specifics on wiring connections.
Input Disconnect
The purpose of the panel mounted input disconnect with through-the-door
handle is to provide a local, lockable method of removing all AC input power
from the panel and AF-650 GP drive.
If your panel includes a circuit breaker, in addition to providing a manual
method of applying and removing AC input power from the panel, the circuit
breaker also provides short circuit protection for the panel components.
Hand/Off/Auto Selector
This selector is also referred to as the H-O-A switch. In the “Off” position the
drive will stop outputting power to the motor.
In “Hand” mode, power will be applied to the motor from the drive and the
inverter’s frequency reference is determined by the setting of the speed pot on
the panel if ordered or via the keypad.
In “Auto” mode, power will be applied to the motor only when a connection is
made between the two remote run contacts on the customer terminal board
inside the panel enclosure. In this mode the inverter’s frequency reference is
determined by a customer supplied 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA signals.

WARNING: Although input power is removed from the drive in the
“Off” position this does not guarantee that dangerous voltage levels are
absent. The AF 650 GP drives contain capacitors which can maintain
dangerous voltage levels for an extended period following removal of AC
input power.
Before touching any potentially live parts of the frequency inverter or
drive, it is always advisable to wait at least 20 mins if not specified.
380-480V, 150-300 HP, wait at least 20 minutes
Shorter time is allowed only if indicated on the nameplate for the
specific unit.
Do not manual drain capacitors.
Always check bus voltage with proper meter before working on drive.
WARNING: Since an improper setting of the circuit breaker trip
level can result in code violations or inadequate short circuit protection
possibly resulting in a fire or safety hazard, refer to the “Adjustments”
section of this manual for further instructions on setting the trip level.
