ADJUSTABLE SPEED DRIVES

nC1 Drive

Ultra-Compact

Sub-Micro Drive

The nC1 is a sub-micro, or nano-sized drive with a full range of features to meet the
needs of nearly any user. The nC1 is designed to be a simple drop in replacement for a
starter on an existing project or as a new installation. Either way, the nC1’s small size
and full featured design make it a perfect choice for your application.

An Easy Choice

The nC1 drive comes with either single-phase or three-phase input with input voltage
ratings as low as 120 V. This makes it an excellent choice for small OEM applications.
The single-phase input means that the nC1 can be used in applications that were
previously too cost-prohibitive to install a three-phase drive. All nC1’s have a three­phase 230 V output.

Models and Applicable Motors

Simple to Install

The nC1 is designed to be a drop-in replacement for a starter. The terminal
arrangements for input and output power are even set up like a starter. Side-by­side mounting and the unit’s vertical construction allow for a smaller footprint.
The nC1 provides better control of your application, more protection for your motor,
and more room in your cabinet.

Easy-to-Use

Easy To Program

The nC1 uses a simple, straightforward programming menu for quick and
easy setup of the drive. There are no complicated sub menus or “hidden”
parameters. By using the built-in programming wizards, the nC1 can be
programmed for simple operations with the push of a button. Available
Windows® programming software makes it a snap to set up the drive.

User-Friendly Operation

The nC1 comes ready to run. Simply mount the drive, run your power
connections and you are ready for operation. Many operations require
no programming whatsoever. The user-friendly interface is designed to
set the speed and start/stop functions of the unit easily. The drive will also
operate from nearly any standard industrial control inputs.

Array of Communications

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing world, coordinated systems require
communications from drive-to-drive and drive-to-system. A built-in port and a
variety of option cards give you versatility in communication selection.

Display

Displays the operating frequency,
parameter information, a monitored
item, the cause of a failure,
and so on.

PROGRAM Lamp

Lights when the inverter is in
parameter setting mode. This lamp
blinks when the parameter “AUH”
or “Gr.U” is selected.

UP Key

Pressing the up key when lamp is
on allows the operating frequency
to be seen.

Terminals

CHARGE Lamp

Indicates that high voltage is still
present within the inverter. Do not
open the cover while this is lit.

MONITOR Key

Displays operating frequencies,
parameter, and error messages.

RUN Lamp

Lights when an ON command
is issued but no frequency signal
is sent out. It blinks when operation
is started.

DOWN Key

Pressing the down key when lamp
is on allows the operating frequency
to be seen.
