Operation
Thermal Overload Indicator
To protect the AC drive from damage due to excessive
temperature, a thermal limit switch is embedded in the
drive box.
If the thermal limit switch is tripped due to damaging
conditions, the "Drive Thermal Indicator" light located
in the WE-6 control module will light and power will
be removed from the drive. The AC drive thermal limit
switch MUST be manually reset. Refer to the
following for location and instructions.
