Unpacking and Inspection
Please take a few moments to unpack your new L200 inverter and perform these steps:
1. Look for any damage that may have occurred during shipping.
2. Verify the contents of the box include:
a. One L200 inverter
b. One Instruction Manual
c. One L200 Quick Reference Guide
3. Inspect the specifications label on the side of the inverter. Make sure it matches the
product part number you ordered.
Main Physical Features
The L200 Series inverters vary in size according
to the current output rating and motor size for
each model number. All feature the same basic
keypad and connector interface for consistent
ease of use. The inverter construction has a heat
sink at the back of the housing. The larger
models include a fan(s) to enhance heat sink
performance. The mounting holes are pre-
drilled in the heat sink for your convenience.
Smaller models have two mounting holes, while
larger ones have four. Be sure to use all the
mounting holes provided.
Two chassis GND screws are located on the
metal tab on the heat sink at the bottom of the
inverter. Never touch the heat sink during or just
after operation; it can be very hot.
The electronics housing and front panel are built
onto the front of the heat sink.
Inverter Keypad - The inverter uses a digital
operator interface, or keypad. The four-digit
display can show a variety of performance
parameters. LEDs indicate whether the display
units are Hertz or Amperes. Other LEDs
indicate Power (external), and Run/Stop Mode
and Program/Monitor Mode status. Membrane
keys Run and Stop/Reset, and an output
frequency potentiometer (speed setting knob)
control motor operation. The FUNC., , and
keys allow an operator to navigate to the
inverter’s functions and parameter values. The
Store key is used when changing a setting.
