Danfoss MCD 600 Remote VLT Control Panel VLT Soft Starter
Overview
Description
The remote VLT® Control Panel LCP 601 can be mounted up to 3 m (9.8 ft) away from the soft starter. The LCP is rated IP65 when mounted correctly in accordance with these instructions.
The LCP connects to the soft starter via the DB9 connector on a hardware expansion card. A hardware expansion card must be installed to use the remote LCP with the soft starter. Separate kits are available with a dedicated LCP connector expansion card, or with no expansion card for applications already using another smart card.

Installation
Installing the Expansion Card
Context:
SHOCK HAZARD
The soft starter contains dangerous voltages when connected to mains voltage. Attaching or removing accessories when the soft starter is connected to mains may cause death or serious injury.
- Isolate the soft starter from mains voltage before attaching or removing accessories.
RISK OF INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Inserting foreign objects or touching the inside the soft starter while the expansion port cover is open may endanger personnel, and can damage the soft starter.
- Be careful when installing the expansion cards and make sure not to touch the inside the soft starter.
Procedure
- Push a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot in the center of the expansion port cover and ease the cover away from the soft starter.
- Line up the card with the expansion port. Gently push the card along the guide rails until it clicks into the soft starter.
Installing the Remote VLT® Control Panel LCP 601
The remote VLT® Control Panel LCP 601 can be safely connected or removed while the soft starter is running. It is not necessary to remove mains or control voltage.
Procedure
- Measure and drill 4 holes for the mounting screws and 2 holes for the DB9 connector, see 2.4 Mounting Diagram.
- Apply the foam gasket to the back of the LCP.
- Align the LCP over the holes and screw in place. Tighten the screws so that the foam gasket is compressed to half its original thickness (torque approximately 1 Nm (8.8 in-lb)). If the screws are too long, the gasket does not provide IP65 protection. Overtightening the screws can damage the LCP, gasket, or panel.
- Plug the cable into the LCP and the soft starter.
- Press the faceplate onto the front of the LCP.
Control via the Remote VLT® Control Panel LCP 601
The soft starter only accepts start and reset commands from the remote VLT® Control Panel LCP 601 if parameter 1A Command Source is set to Remote Keypad.

If the commissioning menu is open on the built-in LCP, the soft starter ignores all commands from the remote LCP except stop commands.
The remote LCP can be safely connected or removed while the soft starter is running. It is not necessary to remove mains or control voltage.
If parameter 1A Command Source is set to Remote LCP, removing the remote LCP causes a trip.
