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 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 auto
-
mated control and building management systems. In addition, an optional Bluetooth com -
munication card provides access for programming, operating, and monitoring the drive
using the FE Connect for Cerus X-Drive Mobile App. Refer to
“Optional Extension Cards”
