Ease of Use
The BT300 drives are easy to use, easy to understand
and easy to program. This means installed cost and
maintenance savings. Information you want for your
specific operation:
• Built-in Help Menu – explains each parameter.
• Built-in Maintenance Manual - shows possible
causes and suggested remedies.
• Nine user-selected values can be defined and
monitored at one time – providing you with all the
information you need at a glance.
• Embedded Ethernet and RS-485 - No additional
hardware or cost for Ethernet. Standard HVAC
protocols out-of-the-box.
– APOGEE P1
– BACnet IP
– BACnet MS/TP
– Modbus RTU
– Modbus TCP
– Metasys N2
World-class Standard of Quality
Siemens Industry's VFDs are designed to operate in
all types of power situations or demanding
environments. The BT300's reliability is a result of
extensive testing from design to deployment. This
testing includes highly accelerated stress testing in
extreme temperatures, vibration, and humidity as well
as current and voltage variations. Not only will the
BT300 withstand most power situations and
demanding environmental conditions, it will provide
confidence and peace of mind knowing that it will not
fail, ensuring a long, trouble-free installation.
Investment Protection
The BT300 supports Siemens Industry's long-standing,
industry-leading backward compatibility tradition. The
BT300 HVAC Drive is backward compatible to SED2
installations. A migration kit to mount a BT300 Drive in
place of an SED2 to support the existing conventional
or electronic bypass is an ideal solution to moving your
technology forward at the lowest possible cost. The
SED2 to BT300 Migration Kits provide you with all the
components necessary to mount your BT300 quickly
and easily in various locations within your facility.
Environmentally Responsible
The BT300 saves energy, is environmentally safe and
RoHS Compliant. All BT300s are constructed with
lead-free circuit boards and produce no hazardous
waste. They use the latest technologies for insulated-
gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) and power capacitors.
The thin-film power capacitors do not contain toxic
electrolytes; therefore, the BT300 capacitors will not
dry out. There is no need to “wake up” or condition the
capacitors before installing. Your BT300 is safe to
connect even after years of storage.
The BT300 IGBT design results in lower heat losses
and lower operating temperatures. It weighs 40% less
than competitors' models decreasing the cost of
shipping and allowing for easier installation. An
average BT300 generates 68% to 125% fewer CO2
emissions than heavier competitors' drives during
shipping.
