Limit switch override buttons - New!
Ever hit a limit switch and grumbled about having to bust out a screwdriver to adjust the switch
during initial installation? Grumble no more, you can press the corresponding override button to
temporarily disable the limit signal.
Brake test buttons
The Pro 3 has a dedicated logic controller to manage two brakes. The controller uses separate logic
conditions and timing for redundancy. The test buttons can be used to verify the brakes are
behaving as expected during periodic inspection.
Mains power indicator
The power indicator glows when the circuit feeding the Stagehand Pro 3 is energized.
Pro Tip: this indicator is connected to input phases X & Y only. It’s possible that you could be
missing the Z input phase. Everything works with only the X & Y input phases, but the horsepower
rating is reduced by 50%.
Branch circuit protection breaker - New!
A circuit breaker mounted on the front of the controller alleviates worries of a dangerous circuit
overload. The breaker also makes it easy to power down the controller without unplugging it from
the power distro. (Note: the rendering shows the controller all lit up, but the breaker off. That
wouldn’t really happen in real life, but it’s just computer rendering with some artistic license taken).
VFD Keypad
The keypad has some great display information like output speed, current, and voltage. It also shows
an error code when the drive stops with a fault. And, if that wasn’t enough, the keypad can be used
to adjust one of the nearly thousand parameters in the drive. Don’t adjust parameters willy-nilly
though, changing a parameter improperly can make the Stagehand stop working completely or
worse, work weirdly.
USB commissioning port - New!
The USB port on the front can be used to configure the drive with Mitsubishi’s FR Configurator
software. We don’t really recommend that you do this unless you are a VFD maven, but we take
advantage of the port for troubleshooting and initial commissioning.
