Overview
Thank you for purchasing TrolMaster’s VFD-1 Variable
Frequency Drive for use with the Hydro-X Pro
controller. It is specifically designed to control Inverters
including TECO E510, DELTA ME300, ABB ACS355
(with an FMBA-01 module) etc. for the purpose of
controlling and adjusting the speed of industrial fans in
your application.
There is no need to provide power supply for the
VFD-1 unit. It can be connected to the Hydro-X Pro
with a simple RJ12 phone cable. After power-on and
entering the setting menu, the LCD screen of the
VFD-1 will display the VFD model options (upper part)
and a box to enter Maximum Frequency (lower part).
Percentage on the main interface can be adjusted to
change the fan speed.
Features
Installation
DELTA ME300
Plug in an RJ-45 T-568B, which consists of 8 color
signal wires, to the DELTA ME300. Then peel off the
outer sheath of all wires on the other end to reveal the
copper wires, and insert the bare wires into VFD-1 on
the back panel while pressing the button of the
terminal designation at the same time. Release the
button to clamp the wire in each terminal. Verify wire is
firmly secured by gently pulling on wire.
Connect the BLUE wire to VFD-1’s B terminal,
BLUE-WHITE wire to A terminal, GREEN-WHITE wire
to GND terminal.
For the VFD-1 unit to start operating properly,
parameter values on the inverter MUST be , changed
(as listed in the table below) in accordance with your
needs.

Operation Instructions
1.Connection to Hydro-X Pro
After the signal wires are successfully connected to the
VFD-1 unit, connect the VFD-1 to the Hydro-X Pro
with an RJ12 cable through the DEVICES port on the
bottom of Hydro-X Pro. See below connection diagram
for reference.
After power-on, the LCD screen of VFD-1 will show
“Please press Addressing Key” accordingly when the
VFD-1 is connected correctly.

2. Address Assignment
Press the Addressing button on the VFD-1 unit so that
the Hydro-X Pro will assign an address such as VFD to
the VFD-1 unit accordingly. The LED screen of Hydro-X
Pro will display “Add one device// Type: VFD-1//
Position: 1”.
3. VFD setting
Press the Menu button to enter the menu setting page,
where you can choose the correct VFD Model (upper
part) and the Maximum Frequency (lower part) you
desire. The maximum frequency you entered will be the
highest frequency output from the inverter when it is
set as 100% on Hydro-X Pro.
*Note: Max Frequency of ABB ACS355 cannot be set
on VFD-1, it has to be set on the inverter itself.

Functions
i) Manual Control on Hydro-X Pro
The default setting will be “off” on the Hydro-X Pro, and
the LCD screen of VFD-1 will display “OFF” initially. To
turn on the fan, press “on” on the Hydro-X Pro, and the
LCD screen of VFD-1 will show “100%” on the main
interface, which is the default setting of when the
VFD-1 is on at the outset. Then you can adjust the
percentage within the range of 0-100 from Hydro-X
Pro.
ii) Automatic Shut-off under Fire Alarm
With the VFD-1 and Hydro-X Pro, you can now control
your industrial fans easily. To meet the fire safety
regulation, the VFD-1 will turn off the fans automatically when smoke is detected by the smoke sensor and a
fire alarm is on.
iii) Spray Mode
When conducting foliar feeding/ spraying, you will have
to turn off or slow down the fan and turn it back on to
the previous setting after a period of time after the
nutrients are well absorbed. The spray mode mitigates
the risk of human error of forgetting to turn the fan
back on after spraying.

through the ground wire, causing a blown fuse or
tripped circuit breaker.
3 . The Variable Frequency Drive should be positioned
in a place where it can be easily pulled out when a fault
occurs.
