    Yaskawa VFD of some type? Is there a label on the side with a CIMR-*** number? From what machine was it removed?

    It will have the model number on a side Name plate this is a very old drive, Saftronics where brought by Emerson Industrial Automation in 2005 Emerson’s Control Techniques division
    What machine is it on, you will know also by the motor it was driving as to it's specs also.

    Magnetek Lancer GPD502. Search for GPD502 on the Yaskawa America website, you will find the tech manual.

    What are you wanting to know about the drive, is it working or do you want to run it on single phase.

    Re: what type vfd is this saftronics?

    the crt went out on a lagun 310 cnc mill. I just wanted to start the spindle up to test the the spindle, and Baldor motor. The drive turns on, But the remote light turns on. and i can not start it using the keypad on the vfd. Thanks for the manual. Do you know how to change the drive from remote to manual control with the keypad? Its wired up to 3 phase.
    Thanks ( I haven't read the manual yet)

    Most of these older VFD Drives you can change the drive mode with the keypad the led at each function will light up this indicates the mode you are in, and you should then be able to run in manual mode even Jog mode should work this will Jog the spindle at a preset speed.
