Setting parameters
Parameter Function Setting
P3852[0...2] BI: Enable frost protection This parameter defines command source of protection enable
command. If binary input is equal to one, then protection will
be initiated (factory default: 0).
If P3853 ≠ 0, frost protection is applied by applying the given
frequency to the motor.
Note that the protection function may be overridden under the
following circumstances:
• If inverter is running and protection signal becomes active,
signal is ignored
• If inverter is turning motor due to active protection signal
and a RUN command is received, RUN command
overrides frost signal
• Issuing an OFF command while protection is active will
stop the motor
P3853[0...2] Frost protection frequency [Hz] This parameter specifies the frequency applied to the motor
when frost protection is active.
Range: 0.00 ... 599.00 (factory default: 5.00)
