All,
Matt at Precision Matthews is a Hitachi VFD distributor so, I started looking at their instruction manual for the types of VFDs we tend to use here. This looks like a very nice unit but, one thing that struck me is the very well written user manual that describes general VFD information. Get this, it is written in clear, readable English.
Admittedly, the manual is loaded with excessive safety/legal issues but, start looking at section/page 2-17 for the real information which is useful and it even shows how to use the front keypad.
-This is a real breakthrough folks! I have spent countless hours reading VFD manuals and got absolutely nowhere!
One thing going forward and I recommend this to folks based on my experiences... From now on, I plan to get the same model of VFD and same horsepower rating (3HP) for all my equipment. I am SO tired of having 5-6 VFDs with different programming methods... I'm probably going to settle on this WJ200 unit in 3 horsepower...
Here's the manual: http://www.hitachi-america.us/supportingdocs/forbus/inverters/Support/WJ200_Instruction_NT325X.pdf
