1.3 Bypass Options
1.3.1 Common Run/Stop with Bypass
Allows a remote signal to initiate operation in either drive control or bypass depending upon the position of the bypass selector switch.
1.3.2 Automatic Bypass
This feature automatically transfers the motor from drive to bypass without operator intervention when a fault condition trips the drive, after a programmable
1.3.3 Run Permissive in Bypass
With run permissive active, the drive sends a run request and waits for a remote response before commanding the motor to start. The response indicates the system is safe to operate.
1.3.4 Basic Fire Mode in Bypass
This option switches the panel to bypass whenever a remote fire mode signal is given to the VFD through the input terminals. In either drive or bypass, fire mode is intended to ignore common safety and overload inputs for emergency situations. The motor will continue to run in bypass until fire mode is removed or the drive, panel, or motor fails. External safety signals and motor overload are ignored when in fire mode.
1.3.5 Advanced Fire Mode in Bypass
The advanced fire mode allows for a variety of programmable responses to an external fire mode command signal. Bypass options are programmed through the drive’s fire mode parameters. See 6.1.13 ECB Advanced Fire Mode.
1.3.6 Overload Protection
This thermally activated device provides mechanical overload protection for the motor while in bypass operation. It measures motor current and is set to the full load amps (FLA) of the motor. A 1.2 x FLA service factor is
