How to wire up remote/external switches to a VFD

Hello everyone, it could be me but I had a lot of trouble understanding how to get the remote switches on to my first VFD, and searching for help this time around didn't find that much out there! So I've put this video up to maybe help someone in the same boat as I was. I am no expert but this works for me, would be glad for any feedback.

Fantastic video!!! No nonsense, just the facts. So helpful. Thank you!!!

Just fitted one of these to my milling machine. I am not an electrician, but your exlpanation has helped me to understand the instructions and given me the confidence to continue with the remote controls. Thanks.

Thanks so much Mate from the Northeast U.S.A.! I had made some good guesses but your thorough demonstration inspired confidence that I wasn't going to let out the magic smoke.

Had got the motors rewired, got the inverter instructions but not got the confidence my interpretation was right. Watched your video and it all fell into place, up and running in an hour. That's the lathe and a wreath wrapping machine sorted - just need one for emergency stops for the bandsaw now. Thanks.

Thank you so much Cliff that's so clear.It's the first time i find so good explanations, we at lest know how to use the connections and the programing. Great video.

Fantastic video. I'm adding a foot pedal a VFD inverter identical to yours and your video has made things a lot simpler.

Just got a three phase vfd to install and wire it for potentiometer control.This video came handy and well explained in details. Thanks

Just what I wanted to see, good video no fluff all business, clear and precise.
Thank you.

[tonyatlantis]

A very good video Cliff.Clear and concise.Just what was needed.

[worzyno]

Thank you so much for this. Everyone was saying it was easy to wire up but I am one who didn't know how to do it so it wasn't easy for me. I think I can handle it now because of this video.

Thanks Cliff!
I'm using my VFD on an old Startrite bandsaw which is now up and running thanks in large part to YouTubers like yourself.
Funnily enough I started with a Steve Jordan vid and then came here, only to find he was here before me in the comments!
Now subbed to both of you.

Cheers!

brilliant video very helpful just purchcased one of these units after watching your video, ordered it last week turned up today took about eight days to deliver, was expecting three to four weeks delivery time, so pleasantly surprised when it turned up, got it working tonight, watching your video now on how to adjust the speeds thanks for your video i found it very useful

Just got a VFD myself. It didn’t come with an earth terminal so had to wire it to the fins. Also came factory set for 3phase input. I do want to wire remote switches so, a timely video. Thanks Cliff

[nigel-matthews]

This video really helped me out a lot. I have a slightly different VFD but has the exact same control, display and instruction sheet. (I have the XSY-AT1, which was $60 on eBay new). I'm testing it on a 3 phase washing machine motor that wants 195v and 310 Hz. Couldn't quite figure out the programming on my own, but now it's clear. Thanks!!!

Very good. I do have to warn people that some VFDs are very industrial, even if the don’t cost much. With them, the manuals can get very complex and difficult to understand. I advise sticking to these simpler models.

Just what I needed Cliff, saved me hours of work. Cheers

[MarieCooper-qk]

You are an absolute star, that is crystal clear to me now, many thanks

[adolfobonciani]

congratulations for the explanations; they were very clear even for me who do not understand much about electronics

[andrewcole]

Great job for those in the field.... Great illustration

Great video Cliff, just got myself the same VFD but for a 1hp motor and was scratching my head with how to wire up the external controls, now have all my questions answered. Top job
