6.3 Remote-mounted LCP
A remote-mounted LCP can be installed with the VLT
®
Soft
Starter MCD 500. The control panel LCP 501 can be
mounted up to 3 m (9.8 ft) away from the soft starter, for
control and monitoring.
The soft starter can be controlled and programmed from
either the remote LCP or the LCP on the soft starter. Both
displays show the same information.
The remote LCP also allows parameter settings to be
copied between soft starters.
6.3.1 Synchronizing the LCP and the Soft
Starter
The DB9 cable can be connected/disconnected from the
LCP while the soft starter runs.
The first time an LCP is plugged into a soft starter, the soft
starter copies its parameter settings to the LCP.
