Installation and Wiring

Relay Outputs

Terminals 35 and 36 and 75 and 76 are N.O. relay outputs. The relay output
between terminals 35 and 36 is configured with parameter

1392

[Relay Out 1 Sel]. The relay output between terminals 75 and 76 is configured
with parameter

629

[Relay Out 2 Sel]. See Using Contactors on page

31

for more

information.

Note: If external contactor coil current ratings are greater than 1 amp, an
interposing relay should be used between the drive relay 1 or relay 2 output and
the contactor coil.‘

Thermistors and Thermal Switches

To detect motor overheating and protect the motor from overloading, an
external, user-supplied thermistor (PTC) or thermal switch must be connected
to terminals 78 and 79. The drive’s response to a motor over temperature fault is
configured in parameter

365

[OverTemp Flt Cfg]. If a thermistor or thermal

switch is not used, a 1 k

Ω

resistor must be connected between terminals 78 and

79 (installed at the factory). Follow the appropriate instructions below when
installing a thermal sensor.

Thermistors (PTC)

PTC thermistors fitted in the motor can be connected directly to the drive via
terminals 78 and 79. In this case the 1 k

Ω

resistor is not required between

terminals 78 and 79.

Thermal Switches (Klixon

®

) in the Motor Windings

“Klixon” type temperature-dependent contacts can disconnect the drive from the
motor via an external control or can be configured as an external fault using a
digital input on drive. They can also be connected to terminals 78 and 79 in order
to indicate a drive “Motor Over Temp” fault (F16), though this is not
recommended due to the noise sensitivity of the current threshold circuitry. If a
thermal switch is used a 1 k

Ω

resistor must be placed in series between the switch

and one of the terminals.
