Pump Quickstart Guide

Wiring

Verify correct input voltage 

and wiring to the VFD power 

and motor terminals.  Connect 

3-phase input power wires 

to  VFD terminals R, S & T or 

single-phase power wires to 

VFD terminals R & S.  

Connect 3-phase motor wires to 

VFD terminals U, V & W.

Connect power source ground 

wire and motor ground wire to 

VFD ground terminal.

Mode:

 Use to cycle through parameter groups: 

SET>DRV>FG1>FG2>....

Up & Down:

 

Use to cycle through parameters 

of the current group. Use to adjust parameters 

when in programming mode.

Loc/Rem:

 

Toggles between Local and Remote 

operation

Enter:

 

Use to enter programming mode of 

any parameter as well to submit a change. 

A flashing cursor will appear when VFD is in 

programming mode.

Shift:

 Use to cycle backwards through 

parameter groups. When in programming 

mode, use to shift cursor to the right (one 

position per press).

Rev, Stop/Reset & Fwd:

 Use to Start and Stop 

VFD Forward or Reverse in Local mode. Use 

Stop to reset VFD fault.

Enclosed VFD

Verify correct input voltage and 

wiring to enclosed VFD panel 

power and motor terminals.  

Connect 3-phase input power 

wires to  enclosure or disconnect 

terminals L1, L2 & L3 or single-

phase power wires to terminals 

L1 & L2.  

Connect 3-phase motor wires to 

enclosure terminals T1, T2 & T3.

Connect power source ground 

wire and motor ground wire to 

enclosure ground terminal. 

Warning:  Input, Output and Control wiring must be in separate conduits 

Note:  

Do not

 wire any wire to the DC bus 

“P1”, “P2”

 & “

N

” terminals.

Transducer verification

 – From main DRV-00 screen 

go to DRV-98 by pressing Down key . The reading is in 

4-20mA range and it should match to transducer output 

current. If reading is less than 4mA, verify transducer wir-

ing and voltage on V+ and 24 terminals.

Enclosed Drive Instructions:

(terminals mounted on back panel)

Stand Alone Drive Instructions:

Transducer placement:

  Placing the transducer too 

close to the pump discharge may cause oscillations and 

improper operation of the VFD. 
Note: If two transducers are used for redundancy, refer to 

VFD manual for details. 

Main Display:

DRV - 

Current parameter group. (SET, DRV, FG1, FG2, I/O, APP, EXT & COM)

00L - 

Shows the current parameter number within a current group. An ‘L’ will appear when VFD is switched 

to Local control mode by either LOC/REM key or digital input.

T - 

Shows source for VFD start/stop operation (

= Remote, 

K

 = Keypad, 

O

 = Communication Protocol).

K - 

Shows source for VFD frequency command (

K=

 Keypad, 

V=

 0-10VDC, 

I=

 4-20mA, 

O=

 Communication)

0.0A - 

Shows the actual motor current

STP - 

Shows the current status of the VFD (

STP

 = Stop, 

FWD

 = Forward, 

REV

 = Reverse)

0.00Hz - 

Shows

 

frequency reference or PID set-point in VFD stop mode and actual VFD output frequency 

in VFD run mode.

1. Peel back insulation to expose shield (bare) wire. 

    Note: Green & White wires should not be used.
2. Wire the pressure transducer's positive RED wire to the  

    terminal marked V+ for 12VDC and the output BLACK  

    wire to terminal    with the shield wired to AG.

WARNING:  Submersible pumps can develop very high pressure in some situations.  Always use 

a properly selected and installed pressure relief valve to prevent damage and injury from over-

pressurization of pipes and tanks. Installation of cut-off pressure switch is recommended.

Control Wiring:

 The start dry contact should be wired to VFD terminals CM and M7 or 1 and 2 in 

enclosed VFD panel. If jumper is installed on start terminals, VFD will run when power turned on.
