General description

Ordering Key

The VariFlex2 is a simple and

compact AC variable speed drive
for use with 3-phase AC
induction motors. The drive's
parameters are divided in two
different lists: the first one is the
Basic Parameter Function List for
the standard setting of the
inverter and the second one is
the
Advanced
Function
Parameter List for a more
sophisticated setting of the drive
according to the needs of the
process. The drives have small

dimensions and can be installed

Side by Side for saving and
reducing space. The full range of
product can supply all the
voltage input from the single
phase / 110VAC up to the three
phase / 480VAC. The VariFlex2
employs state of the art
microprocessor
technology
which controls all drive functions.
All printed circuit boards are
manufactured using surface
mount technology ensuring high
quality and reliability.
