Benefits

Saves Time

Easy to Install and Simple to Operate
Does not require commissioning

With CSP™ you are up and running in less than 10 minutes.

Motors Last Longer

Proprietary CL Software

Provides overload protection, prevents motor burnout
and eliminates nuisance tripping.
UL approved as electronic overload protector for motors.

™*

Energy Saving

Uses only the power the application requires

Replacing constant speed with variable speed will
significantly reduce energy cost.

Economical to Use

No need to derate drive for high starting torque applications.

Combines Soft Start with Variable Speed

Adjustable Soft Start.

Customization for OEM’s

When an off the shelf drive does not meet your needs, KB will work with you
to provide a custom drive solution, Ready to Use, “Out-of-the-Box.”

Customization includes: Pre-calibrating or programming of a stock control,
adding a custom label or branding, custom software, PLC functions or designing a new control.

GFCI Software allows the equipment to operate with Ground Fault

Circuit Interruption circuit breakers or outlets.

*CSP™ = Common Sense Programming. Parameters are organized into easy-to-understand intuitive groups.

**Order “F” suffix for built in filter. KBDF-24F.

Designed and
Assembled in USA

Additional Features

Sensorless Flux Vector Control

Flux Vector Compensation with Static Auto-Tune provides excellent speed regulation
with high torque loads throughout the entire speed range. Auto energy saving at light
loads. Smooth motor torque.

Local/Remote Operation

When used with process control, the Local /Remote key can be used to switch from
process control to manual control if a process fault occurs.

Electronic Inrush Current Limit (EICL™) Protection

Eliminates harmful inrush AC line current during power up.

Inputs/Outputs

Seven isolated multi-function inputs with sink or source mode control logic, two
analog inputs, two multi-function output relays and one analog output.

Built-in Potentiometer

Sets motor speed in lieu of keypad.

Ride-Through

Provides smooth recovery to the previous set speed during a momentary power loss.

Holding Torque at Zero Speed

Resists motor shaft rotation when the drive is in “Stop” mode.

Regeneration Protection

Eliminates tripping due to high bus voltage caused by rapid deceleration of high
inertial loads.

Undervoltage and Overvoltage Protection

Shuts down the drive if the AC line input voltage goes above or below
the operating range.

Short Circuit Protection

Shuts down the drive if a short circuit occurs at the motor (phase-to-phase).

Drive Options

Memory Module

The Memory Module can store up to four programs for cloning and archiving.
The drive can also store up to four programs.

IODF Input/Output Multi-Function Expansion Module

Adds up to 5 points of additional I/O.

Drive-Link™ Programming Kit

Allows PC programming.

Modbus Serial Communication Module

See instruction manual for complete description.
