  • Logic functions including ‘AND’ , ‘OR’, ‘invert’, ‘binary sum’ and ‘timer’ achieved through easy menu set-up

  • Realtime Clock available on the KI-HOA Keypad RTC enables the drive to respond to preset instructions or common demand patterns, helping to save energy

  • Water hammer control with S-ramp deceleration

  • Catch a spinning motor – improved starting sequences for fan and pump control

  • On-board Fire Mode allowing ‘run to failure’ in the event of a fire for smoke extraction

  • Low load condition monitoring and hysteresis for broken belt and dry pump detection

  Make compact, easily maintainable systems

  • Overall system size and footprint is kept to a minimum

  • Manageable small and light modules are maintained and replaced rapidly and easily

  Reduce your spares inventory

  • Modular approach allows customers to reduce their spares holding
