Two-Speed Operation
The inverter can easily be configured for two-speed operation rather than infinitely variable speed operation by
using the following parameter settings in lieu of or in addition to those in the table above:

Function
This set-up is applicable to pendant stations with two-position pushbuttons, and can be applied to hoist
and/or traverse axes. With the above settings, at the first pushbutton position, the inverter will ramp to
MIN speed and hold. On depressing the button to the second pushbutton position, the inverter will
accelerate to the A021 speed and hold. Releasing the pushbutton back to the first position will cause
the inverter to decelerate back to the MIN speed and hold. Releasing the pushbutton will cause the
inverter to come to a stop.
Three-Step Hoist Control
Some pendant stations utilize 3-position pushbuttons for the hoist control. This is what is traditionally called
"three-step control." This is simple to implement with the 115VIF-3 and inverter. No programming changes are
required in the inverter. The jumper from AC4 to HOT that would be used in normal 2-step operation is not
needed in this case. The output wire from the pushbutton second contact is wired to AC4 instead. The increase
speed input signal will be taken from the third pushbutton contact for this setup, instead of the second as in
2-step control. To implement this function, refer to Figure 3-1 and the following table which summarizes the
connections that are used:
