Product Description:

This 178B0898 HVAC drive supplied by Danfoss comprises an electronic thermal relay that provides Class 20 motor overload protection. The drive supports programming capabilities. This product controls the operation of three-phase induction motors. The device comes with an inbuilt FLN communication protocol. This unit utilizes optical isolation for noise immunity and fault tolerance. Its internal components can be accessed only after waiting 14 minutes after disconnection from the AC line, so that the capacitors are fully discharged. The drive communicates directly with a master/slave control network through an RS-485 serial interface bus.

This product’s operational status can be read as well as monitored via the bus. The device stores its operational and diagnostic information. This unit comes with pre-programmed application-specific parameters. Its control panel is removable and can be installed up to 3 m from the drive. The drive’s four-line alphanumeric display highlights three operating condition values and four operating data points continuously. This product’s parameters can be altered through the front control panel. The device’s EXTEND MENU key must be pressed to access all its parameters. The unit’s input power must be removed if the display shows TRIPLOCK before resetting the trip. Its electronic thermal relay offers protection for only one motor at a time.

The HVAC drive’s program setups support independent point map configurations. This product can reverse the direction of motor rotation during its operation period. The device’s frequency can be fixed at its present value in the Freeze mode. This unit’s control panel can be locked to confirm that its functions or program data are not changed. The wait time between communication packets can be programmed by the user.
