 are kit models that include a single P499 transducer model and a WHA-PKD3-200C 

wiring harness. To order a single P499 transducer model without a WHA-PKD3-200C wiring harness, replace the 

K

 with a 

C

 at the end of the P499 product code number. See Table 13 for more information on P499 models and wiring harnesses. 

Operation 

The VFD66 controls feature two diagnostic LEDs: 
POWER and ALARM. (See Figure 14.) 

The POWER LED illuminates when power is applied to 
the VFD66 controls. When power is disconnected from 
the VFD66 controls, this LED remains illuminated 
while the power supply capacitors discharge. If the 
motor is not running when power is removed, the LED 
may remain illuminated for up to 5 minutes, while the 
capacitors discharge. 

The ALARM LED indicates fault conditions and 
provides diagnostic information. Constant illumination 
of this LED indicates that the motor is overloaded and 
the VFD66 control shuts down the motor. 

When the ALARM LED flashes, the VFD66 control has 
shut down the motor. The number of times the ALARM 
LED flashes indicates the cause of the fault.

Troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting 

If the VFD66 control provides reduced output voltage 
and frequency, see

 Undervoltage Operation.

 If the 

VFD66 control operates in another unexpected 
manner, se

Undervoltage Operation.

 

Undervoltage Operation 

If the supply voltage drops below 60% of nominal, the 
VFD66 control stops the motor until the voltage returns 
to or rises above 60%. 

If the supply voltage is between 60% and 100% of 
nominal, the VFD66 control adjusts the output voltage 
and frequency to avoid damaging the motor. The 
VFD66 control adjusts the output frequency to match 
the available input power. (See Figure 15 and  
Figure 16.)
