PowerFlex 700VC Custom Firmware
“AD” Option - 60 Hz Maximum Frequency
Series B
This custom firmware differs from the PowerFlex 700 Vector Control 
standard firmware (version 4.001, Series B) in the following ways: 
• Drive parameter ranges have been modified to limit the maximum
programmable drive output frequency to 60 hz or below (see
for modified parameter list).
• A “flash restriction” feature has been implemented to restrict user
re-flashing of the drive application firmware. Drives with the custom 
“AD” option can only be re-flashed with a similar or newer version 
of the custom “AD” firmware. Custom “AD” drives cannot be 
re-flashed with standard firmware as this could create a potential 
application issue.
!
ATTENTION: The Custom Firmware supplied is designed for a 
specific application and load condition. It differs from the standard 
PowerFlex 700 Vector Control product offering and must be installed 
and run only under this custom application. Attempting to run this 
Custom Firmware under any other type of application, could result in 
unpredictable and/or hazardous conditions.
!
ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) 
sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control precautions are required 
when installing, testing, servicing or repairing this assembly. 
Component damage may result if ESD control procedures are not 
followed. If you are not familiar with static control procedures, 
reference A-B publication 8000-4.5.2, “Guarding Against Electrostatic 
Damage” or any other applicable ESD protection handbook.
