Overview
The Allen-Bradley 22-HIM-A3 is a remote hand held human interface module (HIM) for PowerFlex 4 class variable frequency drives. This Series C model combines an LCD display with a full numeric keypad to provide operators with direct control and monitoring of drive parameters. The sealed, hand held design makes it ideal for on-the-floor diagnostics and parameter adjustments without requiring a stationary control panel.
