Its a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) used for 3 phase AC motors. It is used to control the speed of a motor by varying the frequency.

I don't know, someone more familiar with these types of devices should probably chime in, but I downloaded the PDF manual and this thing looks like it was designed to power up a 3 phase motor, not output a simple "analog" DC voltage.

For those that want to check the manual here it is:

No, you need a 12V DC power supply rated for at least 10 amps.
