It is important to keep in mind that the crane’s stopping distance is determined by its speed. Therefore, care should be 
taken when setting Ultra Lift 1 parameters to ensure that the stopping distance is safe. 
Ultra Lift 1 Time Chart 
The following time chart shows drive operation when the Ultra Lift 1 Function is activated through the S4-01 parameter. 
7.4.2 Ultra Lift Acceleration Function 2
The Ultra Lift Acceleration Function 2 can be used to smoothen the acceleration time in order to protect a heavy load and 
to avoid a situation where the motor could stall and the load slip. When the function is activated and the drive detects that 
output power has reached a predefined value, the acceleration time is scaled to limit the kinetic energy of the load. The 
Ultra Lift 2 function can be activated using parameter S4-01 or by setting one of the drive’s multi-function digital inputs to 
36 with parameters H3-01 through -10. In this section the parameters that influence the Ultra Lift 2 Acceleration Function 
are described, the drive’s operation in Ultra Lift 2 is detailed, and a time chart of the function is shown. 
Ultra Lift Acceleration Function 2 Parameters (S4-) 
S4-08 Ultra Lift 2 Activation Frequency (FAM2)
: Sets the output frequency threshold from which the Ultra Lift 2 function 
can be activated. This parameter is usually set to a value close to the motor’s base frequency (E1-06). 
No.  Parameter Name  Setting Range  Default 
S4-08 
Ultra Lift 2 Activation Frequency  0 to 200 Hz  50 Hz 
S4-09 Ultra Lift 2 Motoring Limit Start Level (LGS): Sets the power threshold when motoring from which the drive’s 
acceleration rate is lengthened when the Ultra Lift 2 Activation Frequency FAM2 has been reached. This parameter is set 
as a percentage of motor rated power, and the typical setting range is between 50 and 80%. 
S4-10 Ultra Lift 2 Motoring Hold Level (LGH)
: Sets the power threshold when motoring from which the drive stops all 
acceleration in order to maintain output power. This parameter is set as a percentage of motor rated power, the typical 
setting is between 50 and 120%, and its value should be above that of the Ultra Lift 2 Motoring Limit Start Level LGS. If 
set too low, the drive will halt acceleration even with a light load and the crane’s operation time will be lengthened. If set 
too high, even heavy loads will reach high speeds and the motor may stall, causing the load to slip. 
S4-11 Ultra Lift 2 Regen Limit Start Level (LRS)
: Sets the power threshold when regenerating from which the drive’s 
acceleration rate is lengthened when the Ultra Lift 2 Activation Frequency FAM2 has been reached. This parameter is set 
as a percentage of motor rated power, and the typical setting range is between 0 and 50%. It is important to note that 
when regenerating, the motor load rate during acceleration is lower than when the drive is motoring, because the force of 
the load is in the opposite direction. 
S4-12 Ultra Lift 2 Regen Hold Level (LRH)
: Sets the power threshold when regenerating from which the drive stops all 
acceleration in order to maintain output power. This parameter is set as a percentage of motor rated power, the typical 
setting is between 50 and 120%, and its value should be above that of the Ultra Lift 2 Regen Limit Start Level LRS. If set 
too low, the drive will halt acceleration even with a light load and the crane’s operation time will be lengthened. If set too
