Always refer to the control system

instructions to do the proper wiring.

For control systems using

an «automatic running time

recognition procedure», please

consider the recommendations

given by the producer of the

controller : the N wire of the

controller has to be connected to

the N wire of each drive.

Continuous orders of at least

200ms must be sent to the drive to

ensure proper execution.

Intervals between “Down” and “Up”

orders must be at least 500ms.

The drive can be wired in parallel.
