Installing Keypad Remote Control Options
Introduction
Remote control options allow the keypad functionality of the X4 and X5 AC drives to be used remotely from the
controller itself. The options provide a NEMA 4X / IP66 rating for the keypad in a remote location. Products covered
by this instruction manual include XRKPM, XRKWM, and XRKMK.
The XRKPM is used with X4 or X5 drives of sizes 0, 1, and 2, when the drive is panel mounted and there is no need
for the controller to maintain its designed NEMA 4X / IP66 rating.
The XRKWM is used with X4 or X5 drives of sizes 0, 1, and 2, when the drive is wall-mounted and it is imperative that
the controller’s normal enclosure rating be maintained.
The XRKMK is used with size 3, 4, and 5 drives, and allows the keypad to be mounted in a NEMA 4X / IP66 enclosure,
while allowing the drive to maintain its designed rating (sizes 3 and 4 are NEMA 4X / IP66; size 5 is NEMA 12/IP55).
This manual is organized so that each of the products can be installed by following the steps outlined below:
XRKPM (panel-mounted) Follow Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
XRKWM (wall-mounted) Follow Steps 1, 2, 6, 7, 8
XRKMK (enclosure-mounted) Follow Steps 1, 9, 10, 11, 12

For the XRKWM and the XRKMK, customers must supply shielded cable. Belden #22418 or the equivalent is
suggested. Fifteen circuits are required, but may be accomplished with multiple strands of cable, each with fewer
conductors. This cable should not exceed 100 feet in length.

WARNING
SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT
The keypad contains static-sensitive components. It should be handled only by a static-safe installer,
using a grounded wrist strap.
Failure to observe this precaution may cause premature equipment failure.
!
DANGER
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
• Disconnect all power before servicing a drive unit or its components. WAIT 5 MINUTES until the DC
bus capacitors discharge.
• Ensure that any other power sources that may feed control logic have been disconnected.
• DO NOT short across DC bus capacitors or touch unshielded components or terminal strip screw
connections with voltage present.
• Install all covers before applying power or starting and stopping the drive.
• The user is responsible for conforming to all applicable code requirements with respect to grounding
all equipment.
• Many parts in this drive, including printed circuit boards, operate at line voltage. DO NOT TOUCH.
Use only electrically-insulated tools.
Before servicing any drive.
• Disconnect all power.
• Place a “DO NOT TURN ON” label on the drive disconnect.
• Lock the disconnect in the open position.
Failure to observe these precautions will cause shock or burn, resulting in severe personal
injury or death.
Step 1. Preparing the Host Enclosure (XRKPM, XRKWM, and XRKMK)
Figure 1 on page 5 is a layout for remote keypad assembly mounting.
If you are fabricating a simple remote control station with this option, the following standard enclosure suggestions
are recommended: Hoffman #A1008CHNF or Hammond #1414N4PHI.

Step 2. AC Drive Preparation (XRKPM, XRKWM)
Note: For drive sizes 3 and larger (XRKMK), skip to step 9, beginning on page 13, and proceed through Step 12.
1. Note the warnings and cautions on the unit and in the user’s manual.
2. Loosen the four (4) cover screws from the AC drive and remove the cover.
3. Remove the two (2) screws that secure the keypad assembly and retain these for future use. These are M4 x
10 screws.
4. Remove the keypad assembly. It will not be used in the final assembly, but may be useful as a replacement
part in another unit. If you will be storing it for a long period of time, re-use the static bag that the remote
keypad assembly came in.
For the XRKPM, perform steps 3-5, beginning on page 7. For the XRKWM, perform steps 6-8, beginning on page 10.
