ACH480 drives for HVAC are optimized for panelboard installations. Compactness, wide functionality and flexibility make them the perfect choice for OEMs and panel builders. Despite its small size, the ACH480 drive has full functionality to control fans, pumps, compressors and more complex HVAC equipment such as air handling units. Built-in features significantly reduce installation time, while the intuitive control panel with HVAC-specific primary settings menu and helpers simplify start-up, commissioning and operation. Optional Bluetooth® capability enables commissioning and monitoring of the drive from a distance.
