1. The planned usage of the overall system will determine which options and control methods are ap-
propriate, as well as how the VFD should be installed and programmed. Refer to the following pages
for examples of how the system might be used.
2. System options define and automate features that support the intended operation. These features
may require specialized control methods and programming. For more details, refer to
uration" on page
31,
3. The SubDrive Connect supports several methods for automating pump motor speed control. Refer to
"Drive Configuration" on page 31
4. The overall function of the system directly affects where and how the VFD should be mounted. Refer
to
"Physical Installation" on page 19
5. The selected motor application, along with the control method(s), determines how the VFD should
be connected. Refer to
6. The VFD can be quickly and easily programmed for most standard operations. Refer to
