L8-10 Heatsink Cooling Fan Operation Selection
L8-11 Heatsink Cooling Fan Operation Delay Time
Setting Range:
0 to 300 Seconds
Factory Default: 300 Seconds
Parameters L8-10 and L8-11 allow the Drive programmer to customize the heatsink cooling fan operation. Parameter L8-10
determines whether the cooling fans are always ON whenever the Drive is powered (L8-10= “1: Fan Always On”) or if the
cooling fans are only ON when the Drive is in a Run condition (L8-10= “0: Fan On-Run Mode”).
Parameter L8-11 is a delayed OFF for the cooling fan if L8-10= “0: Fan On-Run Mode”. When the cooling fans are set to turn
OFF when the Run command is removed, parameter L8-11 will cause the fans to continue cooling the Drive for the amount of
time programmed into L8-11 after the Run command is actually removed. The Drive can be programmed to allow the cooling
fan to run for up to 5 minutes (factory default) after the run command is removed.
Both parameters are intended to extend fan life while still providing sufficient cooling for proper Drive operation.
