LED STATUS INDICATION

The cascade module has a Status LED – LED A (Green).

• 

LED A: Constant Green Indication - Modular is OK

• 

LED A: Flashing Green Indication – No Communication with drive

• 

LED A: LED Off Indication – No power to module

LED B is not used.

V3 SERIES HVAC DEFAULT OPERATION

The  additional  relays  will  assume  default  configuration  while 

the  DOL  cascade  function  is  disabled.  Default  (none  cascade) 

functions are listed in the table below) Once the DOL cascade 

function  is  enabled  (P8-14  =  1)  the  relays  will  assume  DOL 

operation as detailed in the ‘V3 HVAC cascade operation’ section 

of this manual.

Default Operation (DOL Cascade disabled, P8-14=0)

Relay 3 Drive Healthy Indication (close on Healthy)
Relay 4 Drive Fault Indication (close on fault)
Relay 5 Drive Running Indication (close on enable)

2.  DO NOT use excessive  

force when inserting the 

option module into 

the options port.

3.  Ensure the expansion 

module is fitted securely  

before powering on the drive.

4.  Remove terminal block header from 

option module prior to tightening 

connections. Replace when wiring is completed. Tighten 

to Torque setting provided in Specifications.

CONNECTION OF THE CASCADE MODULE TO P2 SERIES

The HVAC Cascade Expansion module can be used with a P2 Series model drive. For 

P2 Series operation, the default or PLC defined functionality is available, but there is 

no option to implement Cascade control. The table below shows relay configuration 

summary when the module is connected to P2 Series drive.

V3 SERIES HVAC CASCADE OPERATION

The V3 Series HVAC DOL Cascade control uses a maximum of three relays from the 

cascade option module and the 2nd user relay from the standard drive terminals, 

giving the potential for 4 separate pumps under DOL control. The cascade option 

module is required if the system requires more than 1 DOL pump or when the 2nd 

user relay on the drive is required for another function. The basic configuration for 

the drive and DOL pumps is shown below.

In this configuration the 2nd drive relay is used to control the first DOL pump with 

the cascade module controlling the remaining DOL pumps. In this configuration P2-

18 must be set to 8 to configure the 2nd drive relay for DOL pump control. P8-14 

must be set to enable the DOL cascade function and P8-15 must be set with the 

number of pumps that make up the cascade system (from 1 to 4). The relays in the 

cascade module are assigned automatically starting with the lowest numbered relay.
If the 2nd relay is not assigned to DOL control then the configuration is as

shown below and a maximum of 3 DOL pumps are permitted.

For this configuration, only parameters P8-14 and P8-15 need be set and the relays 

in the cascade module are assigned automatically starting with the lowest numbered 

relay.  When  cascade  mode  is  enabled  (P8-14  =  1),  the  relays  contained  on  the 

cascade option module are dedicated to the cascade function.
