Navigating the Keypad
In the parameter addresses shown below, the first character is a letter and should be ignored. (i.e. G4.23.1).
This letter has no relationship to your location in the menu structure. Navigation is determined by the numbers
alone. Focus on the numbers and the decimal points separating them.
Programming your Drive’s Parameters
When viewing a parameter value you want to change, press to edit it. The value of the parameter will
flash on the keypad. Use and to select between the available preset values. If the parameter is a
numeric value, you can press again to select an individual digit and use the and to increase or
decrease its value. Once the desired selection is achieved, press to save the change to the drive’s
memory. A successful parameter change is confirmed when the parameter value stops flashing.
1. Check all power and control connections to the drive.
Ensure all are correct, and there are no loose wires. Refer to “Control Mode Selection
Parameters” and “Control Unit Connections” pages in the back of this manual for drive control
configuration.
2. Apply power to the drive.
The keypad should turn on and display a monitoring page with the motor current, voltage, and
frequency. If the drive displays a fault code, check the service manual for troubleshooting tips.
3. Enter the password into the drive.
Press and hold until the display shows “Password Level: Engineering.” By doing this, you
have just entered the Engineering level password into the drive. This shortcut works from any
location within the parameter menu structure, and allows the user access to all of the necessary
parameters to complete the drive setup process.
