2.2 Installing the Remote VLT® Control Panel LCP 601
Context:
NOTICE
The remote VLT® Control Panel LCP 601 can be safely connected or removed while the soft starter is running. It is not necessary
to remove mains or control voltage.
Procedure
1. Measure and drill 4 holes for the mounting screws and 2 holes for the DB9 connector, see 2.4 Mounting Diagram.
2. Apply the foam gasket to the back of the LCP.
3. Align the LCP over the holes and screw in place. Tighten the screws so that the foam gasket is compressed to half its original
thickness (torque approximately 1 Nm (8.8 in-lb)).
NOTICE
If the screws are too long, the gasket does not provide IP65 protection. Overtightening the screws can damage the LCP,
gasket, or panel.
4. Plug the cable into the LCP and the soft starter.
5. Press the faceplate onto the front of the LCP.
2.3 Control via the Remote VLT® Control Panel LCP 601
The soft starter only accepts start and reset commands from the remote VLT® Control Panel LCP 601 if parameter 1A Command Source is
set to Remote Keypad.
