5.4 Operating modes
The VARIPACK frequency inverter can be operated in
two different operating modes:
• Capacity control of the compressor depending on an
external setpoint signal (see chapter Capacity con-
trol of the compressor depending on an external set-
point signal, page 20).
• Capacity control of the compressor depending on the
evaporation pressure, which will require the optional
extension module for pressure control (see chapter
Capacity control of the compressor as a function of
the evaporation pressure, page 21).
In addition to direct evaporation pressure control, the
condenser fan can also be controlled via a 0 .. 10 V
output signal and a second compressor can be connec-
ted.

depending on an external setpoint signal
"Min .. Max" control characteristic
The VARIPACK frequency inverters can be activated
without change in parameters by a 0 .. 10 V or
4 .. 20 mA signal according to the "Min .. Max" control
characteristic.
• In the "Min .. Max" control characteristic, the com-
pressor will start as soon as the DI1 (X13: 2) start
command is given. The setpoint signal will control
the frequency linearly between the minimum and
maximum frequencies of the compressor.
– If a 0 .. 10 V signal is used, it must be connected
to the input AI2 (X11: 2).
– If a 4 .. 20 mA signal is used, it must be connec-
ted to the input AI1 (X11: 1).
