Parameter P10-12 can be used for testing of overspeed governors, normally performed during initial installation or scheduled inspections.

Once a value of >0.0 has been entered, the next run command from the controller to the drive will result in the motor running at the value set in terms of a % of the value set in the High-Speed parameter (P8-06), then at the next stop command the value of the parameter will return to 0.0 automatically so that the test is not repeated, and normal operation is resumed.
