Why Choose the Lovato VT1XC02 Door-Mount Keypad?
The Lovato VT1XC02 is a dedicated door-mount remote keypad for Lovato VT1 variable speed drives, designed to provide convenient drive control and access from the exterior of an electrical enclosure. It allows the VT1 drive itself to remain safely installed inside the control panel while essential operator controls and display functions are positioned on the enclosure door.
Designed specifically for the Lovato VT1 variable speed drive series, the VT1XC02 connects to the drive using a standard Ethernet cable with a maximum permitted length of 5 m. Once the VT1 is configured for remote-keypad operation, control is transferred to the VT1XC02, providing a practical interface for machine operators, commissioning engineers and maintenance personnel.
The keypad provides IP65 protection at the front when correctly installed, making it suitable for control-panel doors where enhanced protection against dust and water is required. Its compact 71 × 100 × 28.2 mm dimensions make it straightforward to incorporate into industrial control panels and machine enclosures.

Convenient Remote Control for VT1 Variable Speed Drives
Mounting a variable speed drive inside an electrical enclosure helps protect the drive and maintain an organised control-panel installation, but direct access to its local keypad may then be inconvenient. The Lovato VT1XC02 solves this by relocating the operator interface to the enclosure door, allowing personnel to interact with the VT1 drive without opening the panel.
Installation uses a standard Ethernet cable between the VT1 drive and remote keypad, with cable lengths up to 5 m supported. The drive is configured for the remote keypad by setting parameter 09-02 to 4 and resetting the VT1 power supply. This provides a straightforward solution for machinery and automation installations where accessible external drive control is required.
Typical Applications
- Remote operation of Lovato VT1 variable speed drives.
- Industrial control-panel door installations.
- Machine operator control stations.
- Pump and fan control panels.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- OEM machine-building applications.
- Industrial automation and process-control panels.
