PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description
The Cerus X-Drive is a variable frequency drive (VFD) designed to control and protect three phase motors in
industrial, municipal, and agricultural sites. The X-Drive family offers an extensive range of amperage and
configuration options, making it versatile enough for nearly any constant or variable torque application.
Industry standard application settings are pre-configured for submersible or centrifugal pumps, supply or
exhaust fans, cooling towers, vacuum pumps, and constant torque, FE MagForce, and permanent magnet
motors. In addition, many input/output and control options are available for application specific features,
such as PID speed control, pressure control, temperature or fluid level controls, and scheduling.
Native Modbus and BACnet communication protocols allow integration with many automated control and
building management systems. In addition, an optional Bluetooth communication card provides access for
programming, operating, and monitoring the drive using the FE Connect for Cerus X-Drive Mobile App.
