Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Product Overview Although the X4 AC drive is small in size, it is big on performance. It is an economical yet powerful solution for many industrial applications. It features remote communications capability (using ® Modbus protocol), a keypad for easy configuration, and standard NEMA 4X / IP66 and NEMA 12 / IP54 enclosures that eliminate the need for mounting in a separate enclosure.

3.6 Conduit Usage The X4 drive in the NEMA 4X / IP66 enclosure is rated for 1000 psi washdown from 6 inches. To keep this rating, the use of a sealed conduit is required. The use of a Romex-type conduit will not prevent water entry into the enclosure.
Chapter 4: Connections DANGER HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE • Read and understand this manual in its entirety before installing or operating the X4 AC drive. Installation, adjustment, repair, and maintenance of these drives must be performed by qualified personnel. • Disconnect all power before servicing the drive. WAIT 5 MINUTES until the DC bus capacitors discharge.
See Chapter 2 for the continuous output ratings for the drive. • Grounding must be in accordance with NEC and CEC. If multiple X4 drives are installed near each other, each must be connected to ground. Take care not to form a ground loop.
See “Power and Current Ratings” on page 4 for the allowable fluctuation of AC line voltage for your particular X4 model. A supply voltage above or below the limits given in the table will cause the drive to trip with either an overvoltage or undervoltage fault.
Therefore, ensure that the voltage rating of the motor matches the applied line voltage. 4.3.2 Line Capacity If the source of AC power to the X4 AC drive is greater than 10 times the kVA rating shown in Table 4-3 below, an isolation transformer or line reactor is recommended. Consult the factory for assistance in sizing the reactor.
Chapter 4: Connections 4.3.5 Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters X4 drives rated for 115 Vac are not designed to operate with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI). The GFCI breakers are designed for residential use to protect personnel from stray currents to ground.

It is necessary to provide fuses and a disconnect switch for the input AC line in accordance with all applicable electrical codes. The X4 AC drive is able to withstand a 150% overload for 60 seconds for heavy duty rating, and 120% overload for normal duty rating.
— Dynamic Braking The X4 AC drive is supplied with an integrated dynamic braking (DB) resistor, and is designed to have adequate dynamic braking for most applications. In cases where short stopping times or high inertia loads require additional braking capacity, install an external resistor.

Chapter 5: Keypad Operation and Programming Introduction The X4 AC drive is pre-programmed to run a standard, 4-pole AC induction motor. For many applications, the drive is ready for use right out of the box with no additional programming needed.
Chapter 5: Programming with the X4 Keypad Keypad Operation Parameter 201, Input Mode (see page 52), determines whether the X4 AC drive accepts its Run/ Stop and speed commands from the digital keypad or from the input terminals. Table 5-1 describes the function of the keys in Operation mode.

Chapter 6: Using Macro Mode and Getting a Quick Start A special Macro programming mode is available with the X4 series of AC drives. The Macro programming mode allows you to customize quickly the most common parameters for your application in the Level 1 group. Macro mode provides special parameters for activating modes of operation by macros, program sequencer, or serial communications.
Parameters 490, 491, and 492 are used only in the Macro mode. Parameters 509, 510, 511, 801, and 810 are used in both Macro and Level 2 programming. X4 parameters are described in “Chapter 7: X4 Parameters” on page 49 of this manual.

DC injection braking may be used to stop the motor more quickly than is possible by either a ramp-to-stop or a coast- to-stop. The X4 drive allows DC braking to be initiated either when a digital input assigned to DC braking becomes true, when a specified frequency is reached, or when either of these events occurs.

See “Using the X4 Program Sequencer” on page 75. Using the X4 Program Sequencer The X4 AC drive offers functionality that allows users to program up to nine independent operation states of the drive. This functionality is called the “program sequencer” because it allows the drive to sequence through the operation states programmed by the user.
Page 84
Note: If Input Mode is configured to any of the EMOP options, the sequencer is not available. Keypad Control (Activation) of the X4 Program Sequencer When activating or controlling the X4 Program Sequencer from the keypad, pressing the FWD key commands the drive to cycle through the programmed states of the sequencer one time only (one- shot operation).
If the sequencer is actively running and the Enter key is pressed from the Operate screen of the X4 keypad, the sequencer will dwell in the current state (it will never advance to the next state). While the sequencer is dwelling, a warning of “Seq Dwell”...
