Product Information

Product Family: AC Tech SMD | Series: AC Tech SMD

The Lenze 00469191, model ESMD251X2SFA, is a compact AC Tech SMD series frequency inverter designed for precise speed control of standard three-phase AC induction motors. Operating on a single-phase 230 V AC mains supply with an input voltage range of 170 to 264 V AC, the unit delivers controlled three-phase power up to 0.25 kW (0.33 HP) with a continuous rated output current of 1.7 A. The inverter regulates motor speed across an adjustable output frequency range from 0 to 240 Hz utilizing linear or quadratic V/f control. Housed in a space-saving IP20 enclosure, it supports dual mounting configurations for installation onto standard 35 mm DIN rails or direct cabinet panel mounting.

Control integration is facilitated through dedicated control terminal blocks containing three freely programmable digital inputs and one configurable analog input. Digital inputs accept signals for drive start/stop, direction change, and preset speed selection, while the analog input accommodates setpoint signals of 0–10 V, 0–20 mA, or 4–20 mA. Commissioning a spare unit relies on Lenze's Electronic Programmable Module (EPM) system. All drive parameters are stored on a removable blue EPM chip, allowing offline configuration duplication and chip-swapping parameter transfer without supplying main power to the inverter. When replacing a damaged unit, swapping the EPM chip restores operational parameters instantly, while support from ABC Industrial Parts can assist in parameter extraction and verifying memory integrity during system downtime.

Operational status and active diagnostics are indicated on the integrated front keypad, which features a three-digit red LED display. The panel presents real-time output frequency, parameter indexes, parameter values, and error codes covering conditions such as undervoltage, overvoltage, drive overload, heatsink overtemperature, external interlock trips, and memory faults. Initial checks should verify mains supply stability, motor lead integrity, cooling space, and secure EPM seating. If persistent hardware faults such as CPU errors occur, internal circuitry cannot be serviced in the field; sourcing a fully tested exchange drive or utilizing repair services via ABC Industrial Parts offers an efficient route to restore control functionality.

Programming and Configuration

Drive configuration and parameter adjustments are performed using the integrated front-panel keypad and three-digit LED display menu. Technicians can navigate parameter codes to define acceleration and deceleration times, select linear or quadratic V/f characteristic curves, and assign functional roles to control terminals. Default parameter initialization routines can also be executed directly via the keypad to return the drive to factory base settings.

The Electronic Programmable Module (EPM) functions as the central non-volatile parameter store for the inverter. Because the complete parameter set is stored on this removable chip, data can be cloned across multiple drives or written offline using an optional handheld Lenze EPM Programmer (model EEPM1RA). This offline capability eliminates manual parameter entry on production lines or during emergency drive replacement.

Communication and System Integration

The Lenze ESMD251X2SFA operates as a standalone drive accepting a single-phase 230 V AC supply and converting it into a controlled three-phase 230 V AC output for standard induction motors. Its wide input operating range of 170 to 264 V AC provides tolerance against main line voltage fluctuations commonly found in industrial distribution panels.

I/O terminal wiring interfaces directly with control devices. The three digital inputs can be configured for run enable, direction selection, external fault monitoring, or pre-set frequency references. The single analog input accepts 0–10 V, 0–20 mA, or 4–20 mA setpoint signals, allowing speed control integration with remote speed potentiometers, process sensors, or higher-level programmable logic controllers.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

Real-time operational feedback and fault monitoring are delivered via the front three-digit LED display keypad. The drive continuously evaluates key internal variables, including DC bus voltage level, output phase current, heatsink temperature, and EPM communication status.

When a fault condition occurs, the red LED display flashes an active fault code to identify the issue. During standard operation, the display presents the current output operating frequency or selected parameter addresses and values during keypad menu navigation.

3-digit LED DisplayRed - Solid / FlashingDisplays output frequency, parameter codes, parameter values, or active error codes (e.g., F1-F9, CF, cEF).

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

When selecting a replacement drive, ensure exact matching of part number 00469191 and model identifier ESMD251X2SFA to guarantee identical physical mounting dimensions, terminal arrangement, and power ratings. Transferring the original blue EPM chip directly into the replacement drive copies all application parameters instantly, removing the requirement to re-commission the drive manually.

If the replacement unit indicates an EPM fault (F8) or OEM data error (cEF) following chip insertion, verify that the module is fully inserted into its slot and that firmware revisions align. For new system designs or plant modernizations where the legacy AC Tech SMD series is being updated, Lenze recommends migrating to the i510 Cabinet series (such as model i51AE125B1001000S).
