AI-V3/J Potentiometer for J1000 series

Why Choose the Yaskawa AI-V3/J J1000 Potentiometer Option?

The Yaskawa AI-V3/J is a genuine J1000 potentiometer option unit designed to provide simple, direct speed reference control for compatible Yaskawa J1000 AC drives. Mounted to the front of the drive, this practical accessory allows users to adjust the frequency reference by turning a potentiometer dial, making motor speed control quick and convenient.

This Yaskawa drive accessory is ideal for compact machinery, control panels and local operator control points where manual speed adjustment is required without using an external analogue signal or keypad-only adjustment. The AI-V3/J connects directly to the drive option port and gives operators a clear Min to Max dial for straightforward frequency reference setting.

Designed specifically for the Yaskawa J1000 series, the AI-V3/J helps simplify local speed control in small automation systems, pumps, fans, conveyors and general-purpose motor control applications. When installed, the option adds approximately 21 mm to the total depth of the drive.

Simple Local Speed Control for Yaskawa J1000 Drives

Potentiometer options such as the Yaskawa AI-V3/J allow operators to adjust motor speed directly at the drive. Instead of changing frequency settings through an external signal or menu navigation, the user can rotate the dial to increase or decrease the frequency reference.

This makes the AI-V3/J particularly useful for simple machine control, commissioning, testing and applications where a local manual speed reference is preferred. Correct parameter setup is required after installation so the drive uses the option unit as the frequency reference source.

Typical Applications

• Yaskawa J1000 inverter drive installations.
• Local motor speed adjustment.
• Small industrial pumps and fans.
• Conveyors and light material handling equipment.
• Machine control panels.
• OEM machinery and compact automation systems.
• Commissioning and local drive control applications.
