1 Overview

1.1 Description

The remote VLT® Control Panel LCP 601 can be mounted up to 3 m (9.8 ft) away from the soft starter. The LCP is rated IP65 when
mounted correctly in accordance with these instructions.

The LCP connects to the soft starter via the DB9 connector on a hardware expansion card. A hardware expansion card must be installed
to use the remote LCP with the soft starter. Separate kits are available with a dedicated LCP connector expansion card, or with no
expansion card for applications already using another smart card.

2.1 Installing the Expansion Card

Context:

WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD
The soft starter contains dangerous voltages when connected to mains voltage. Attaching or removing accessories when the
soft starter is connected to mains may cause death or serious injury.
- Isolate the soft starter from mains voltage before attaching or removing accessories.

CAUTION
RISK OF INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

personnel, and can damage the soft starter.
- Be careful when installing the expansion cards and make sure not to touch the inside the soft starter.

Procedure
1. Push a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot in the center of the expansion port cover and ease the cover away from the soft
starter.

2.2 Installing the Remote VLT® Control Panel LCP 601

Context:

NOTICE
The remote VLT® Control Panel LCP 601 can be safely connected or removed while the soft starter is running. It is not necessary
to remove mains or control voltage.

Procedure
1. Measure and drill 4 holes for the mounting screws and 2 holes for the DB9 connector, see 2.4 Mounting Diagram.
2. Apply the foam gasket to the back of the LCP.
3. Align the LCP over the holes and screw in place. Tighten the screws so that the foam gasket is compressed to half its original
thickness (torque approximately 1 Nm (8.8 in-lb)).

NOTICE
If the screws are too long, the gasket does not provide IP65 protection. Overtightening the screws can damage the LCP,
gasket, or panel.

4. Plug the cable into the LCP and the soft starter.

set to Remote Keypad.
