The BPR10K is EMAS's top-of-range 10kΩ panel potentiometer, built for solder-free installation and matched to the most common speed-reference input on leading-brand inverters. It's a listed drop-in replacement for the XB5AD912R10K and M22-R10K, making it a straightforward swap when replacing a worn or discontinued unit.
- Solder free for easy panel mounting
- High precision Vishay wiper
- Scale reads 0-100%
- Smooth and stable operation
- Secure stops at start/end of adjustment

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I wire it for increasing vs decreasing output?
The centre terminal is the wiper; which outer terminal you connect to your positive supply determines whether output increases or decreases as you turn the dial clockwise — simply swap the two outer connections to reverse the direction.
Is 10kΩ the right value for my inverter/VSD?
Check your inverter or drive manual for its speed-reference potentiometer specification — 10kΩ is one of the most common values used across leading-brand inverters, but always confirm against your drive's documentation before ordering.
Is this a direct replacement for my existing branded potentiometer?
Likely yes if your existing part is an XB5AD912R10K or M22-R10K — this is a listed drop-in replacement for both.
Is it suitable for washdown or outdoor panel mounting?
Yes — IP65 rated, protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.
