Electronic Bypass Controller Installation and Commissioning Guide
4.7.5 Auto Mode
In the VFD Auto (automatic) mode, a building automation system or other external
device is required to supply start/stop and speed reference information to the electronic
bypass package. During Auto Mode operation, the electronic bypass keypad remains
enabled for stopping, operation mode and bypass selection functions. Auto Mode can
control both VFD and bypass operation modes.
To place in Auto Mode, press the VFD button. Then press the AUTO button. The VFD,
AUTO and INPUT and OUTPUT CONTACTOR LEDs will be illuminated. The RUN LED
will not illuminate until the user-supplied (TB2-5) run contact closes. Motor speed is
controlled by the user-supplied 4–20 mA reference signal. See section 4.3 and 4.4 if a
0–10 Vdc reference is to be used.
To place in Bypass Auto Mode, press the BYPASS button. Then press the AUTO button.
The BYPASS and AUTO LEDs will be illuminated. The bypass contactor and RUN LEDs
will not illuminate until the user supplied (TB2-5) run contact closes.
To exit the Auto Mode, press the OFF/RESET button once on the electronic bypass
keypad. The AUTO and RUN LEDs will turn off. Pressing the OFF/RESET button again
will turn off the VFD or BYPASS operation LEDs.
4.8 Bypass Modes of the Electronic Bypass
There are three modes of operation for bypassing the VFD and operating on full line
power:

4.8.1 MANUAL Bypass
In the Manual Bypass Mode, the motor begins bypass operation immediately upon
selecting Hand Mode or upon the user-supplied contact closure in Auto Mode. The
motor will stay in bypass until the user chooses to leave either Hand or Auto Mode.
Bypass is also available while in the Test Mode of operation.
To place in Manual Bypass Mode, press the BYPASS button. When the BYPASS LED
illuminates, press either the HAND or AUTO button. When the HAND button is
pressed the bypass contactor will energize and the motor will immediately start
across the line. When the AUTO button is pressed, the bypass contactor will not
energize until the user-supplied (TB2-5) run contact is closed. The bypass contactor
will then energize and the motor will immediately start across the line.
To exit the Bypass Mode, Press the OFF/RESET button on the electronic bypass
keypad.
