FAQs
The ACH580 is a UL-listed LV AC drive intended for wall mounting in HVAC installations. It supports 575 V, 2 HP (2.7 A), with IP21 standard enclosure and optional IP55 or flange-mount configurations. Plan for adequate clearance and cooling, and route cables to minimize interference. Use the built-in HVAC primary settings menu to simplify startup, and consider Bluetooth for remote commissioning when on-site access is limited.
ACH580 optimizes motor speed control for fans, pumps and compressors, reducing start-up surges and modulating load to match demand. This yields lower energy consumption, reduced peak demand, and improved system COP. The drive’s HVAC-specific features and intuitive settings help technicians tune performance quickly, delivering measurable energy savings across air handling units, chillers, and rooftop units.
Yes. The ACH580 is designed for wall mounting with an IP21 enclosure as standard. For harsher environments, IP55 and flange-mount options are available. This flexibility supports installation in plant rooms, mechanical spaces, and cleanroom-adjacent areas while maintaining accessibility for maintenance and inspection.
Yes. The ACH580 offers optional Bluetooth commissioning capability, enabling remote setup, monitoring and troubleshooting. This reduces on-site visits, speeds commissioning, and supports ongoing performance validation across multiple HVAC controllers from a central location, which is especially valuable in multi-unit facilities and distributed HVAC systems.
ROI comes from reduced commissioning time, energy savings from precise VFD control, and lower maintenance costs due to fewer field adjustments. The ACH580’s built-in HVAC features streamline startup, while its compatibility with the ACH580 family allows scalable deployment across multiple AHUs and chillers, delivering consistent performance and a faster payback in commercial buildings and industrial facilities.
