2 IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
2.1 50 Hz MOTORS
This drive has been factory programmed to operate 60 Hz motors. For 50 Hz motor operation,
set Function 0.00 to "0001" (50 Hz Motors). See Flow Chart (Figure 44), on page 51.
2.2 MOTOR CURRENT SETTING
The motor current is factory set to the maximum drive rating, as shown in Table 3, on page 15.
In order for the Motor Overload Protection to operate properly, the drive must be reprogrammed
to the actual Motor Nameplate Current (see Function 0.01). Do not exceed the drive's maximum
current rating. See Flow Chart (Figure 37), on page 45.
Model KBDF-27D:
With 208/230 Volt 50/60 Hz AC Line input, the maximum current rating is 6.7 Amps
(2 HP (1.5 kW)). This is the factory setting of motor current.
With 115 Volt 50/60 Hz AC Line input, the maximum current rating is 5.5 Amps
(1½ HP (1.13 kW)).
Model KBDF-29:
With 208/230 Volt 50/60 Hz 3-phase AC Line input, the maximum current rating is 9.0 Amps
(3 HP (2.25 kW)).
With 208/230 Volt 50/60 Hz 1-phase AC Line input, the maximum current rating is 6.7 Amps
(2 HP (1.5 kW)).

3 IMPORTANT APPLICATION INFORMATION
3.1 MOTOR WITH EXTERNAL FAN COOLING
Most totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) and
open ventilated 3-phase AC induction motors
will overheat if used beyond a limited speed
FIGURE 2
MAXIMUM ALLOWED
MOTOR TORQUE VS. SPEED
range at full torque. Therefore, it is
necessary to reduce motor load as speed is
decreased. See Figure 2.
Note: Some fan-cooled motors can be used
over a wider speed range. Consult the motor
manufacturer for details.
Inverter duty and most Totally Enclosed Non-Ventilated (TENV) motors can provide full rated
torque over an extended speed range without overheating.
It is recommended that the drive be used with Inverter Duty or TENV motors.
WARNING! Some motors have low speed characteristics, which cause overheating and
winding failure under light load or no load conditions. If the motor is operated in this manner for
an extended period of time, it is recommended that the unloaded motor current be checked from
2 – 15 Hz (60 – 450 RPM) to ensure motor current does not exceed the nameplate rating. If the
motor current exceeds the nameplate rating, the Boost value may have to be decreased (see
Function 3.14). Do not use motor if the motor current exceeds the nameplate rating.
3.2 ELECTRONIC MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The drive contains Modified I
2
t Overload Protection (UL approved as an overload protector for
motors). Part of this function consists of a Current Limit (CL) circuit, which limits the drive current
to a preset level of 160% of the Motor Nameplate Rated Current setting. The factory setting for
motor nameplate current is the drive rated current, which must be set to the actual motor
nameplate current (see Important Programming Information (Section 2.2), on page 7). See
Table 3, on page 15. See Function 0.01, on page 55.
Standard I
2
t is undesirable because it causes nuisance tripping. It allows a very high motor
current to develop and will turn the drive off after a short period of time. KB's RMS Current Limit
Circuit avoids this nuisance tripping while providing maximum motor protection.
If the motor is overloaded to 120% of the Motor Nameplate Rated Current, the I
2
t Timer starts. If
the motor continues to be overloaded at the 120% level, the timer will shut down the drive after
30 minutes. If the motor is overloaded to 160% of full load, the drive will trip in 6 seconds.

6 DRIVE LAYOUT
See Figure 3 for the Drive Layout. See Table 4, on page 17, for description of the Keypad,
4-Digit Display, LEDs, and Potentiometer.
The drive contains 8 LEDs to provide indication of the drive’s status and operating mode (REM,
LCL, FWD, REV, STOP, OL, PGM, Hz). The Keypad is used for Local Operation of the drive.
For Remote Operation see Function Group 2, on page 57. To operate the drive using the
Potentiometer, set Function 2.00 to "0001".
WARNING! Do not depend on the LEDs or the 4-Digit Display to no longer be
illuminated as a guaranteed power off condition. Be sure that the main power switch or
circuit breaker is in the "OFF" position before servicing the drive.

7 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended that the drive be mounted vertically on a flat surface with adequate
ventilation. Leave enough room above and below the drive to allow for AC Line, motor
connections, and any other connections that are required. Care should be taken to avoid
extreme hazardous locations where physical damage can occur. When mounting the drive in an
enclosure, the enclosure should be large enough to allow proper heat dissipation so that the
ambient temperature does not exceed 40 °C (104 °F) at full rating. See Figure 4, below, and
Figure 5, on page 19.
WARNING! DO NOT USE THIS DRIVE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT. AN
EXPLOSION CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. THIS DRIVE IS NOT EXPLOSION
PROOF.

8 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The drive is designed with contactor-type feed-throughs to facilitate wring of the AC Line input,
Motor, and Ground connections, as shown in Figures 7 – 13, on pages 22 – 24. See Table 5, on
page 22.
The removable cover allows access to the terminal blocks and jumpers for wiring and setting up
the drive for Remote Operation in lieu of the Keypad (Local Operation).
Note: Wire the control in accordance with the National Electrical Code requirements and other
local codes that may apply to the application.
WARNING! HIGH VOLTAGE! Read Safety Warnings, on page 9, before using the
drive. Disconnect the main power before making connections to the drive. To avoid
electric shock, be sure to properly ground the drive.
Application Notes:
1. To avoid erratic operation, do not bundle AC Line input and motor wires with each other. Also,
do not bundle motor wires from multiple drives in the same conduit. Use shielded cables on all
signal wiring over 12" (30 cm). The shield should be earth grounded on the drive side only.
2. Be sure to properly fuse each AC Line conductor that is not at ground potential. Do not fuse
neutral or grounded conductors. A separate AC Line switch or contactor must be used as a
disconnect so that each ungrounded conductor is opened. For fuse or circuit breaker selection,
see Table 3, on page 15. Also see Section 8.2, on page 24.
3. If operation with a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) is required, see Function 0.04, on
page 55.

Notes: 1. Multi-Function Input Terminals (MFIT 1 – 5 on TB1 of the drive) are factory set for
N.O. Contacts or NPN Transistors (J1 set to the "N.O. / NPN" position), which use the internal
power supply. For NPN Transistors, which use an external power supply (5 – 24 Volts DC), set
Jumper J1 to the "EXT" position. For PNP Transistor circuits, which use the internal power
supply or an external power supply (5 – 24 Volts DC), set Jumper J1 to the "PNP" position.
2. Multi-Function Output Relay Contact Ratings: 1 Amp at 30 Volts DC, 0.5 Amp at 125 Volts
AC, and 0.25 Amp at 250 Volts AC. 3. Multi-Function Input Terminals (MFIT 6 – 7 on TB1 of the
IODF) only accept N.O. Contacts or NPN Transistors (which use the internal power supply).
