So I've fitted a Leeson VFD to my ZAY and have been extremely happy with the results. I am amazed at how much better this machine now runs.
But to my question.
I've studied the Leeson manual that came with the VFD and their online resources in an effort to learn how to wire in an Estop plunger switch.
Currently I am using the remote key pad which performs all functions. The stop button is red but very small.
I'm using the SubMicro inverter SM series (if anyone is familiar with the leeson product line) driving a 3ph 2hp motor.
The control wiring terminal strip indicates closure of terminal #1 to #11 for continuous run / open for stop.
My question is:
Would it be logical to place my Estop switch IN LINE of my T1 -> T11 connection wire. So rather then the terminal connection going directly to the remote key pad terminal connection, one of the two wires is routed through the contact of the Estop.
Currently these terminals are open / closed via the remote key pad blister button.
My concern is that by activating my Estop the remote key pad would be "unaware" of this resulting in an internal issue with the VFD control.
I just can't get a clear answer from my local sources.
Thank you in advance for your time.
