Preface
Thank you for purchasing our Remote Keypad "TP-E1."
The Remote Keypad allows you to remotely operate FRENIC-Mini series of inverters. Using this
remote keypad, you can perform the operations that are available on the built-in keypad on
FRENIC-Mini inverter, such as running and stopping the motor, monitoring the running status, and
setting the function codes.
In addition, you can perform "data copying": You can read function code data from an inverter, copy
(write) it into another inverter, or verify it.
To use the Remote Keypad, make sure that the FRENIC-Mini inverter is equipped with the RS485
Communications Card (OPC-C1-RS), and connect the two using an optional Remote Operation
Extension Cable (CB-5S, CB-3S, or CB-1S, depending on the distance).
This manual describes how to install the Remote Keypad and the "data copying." For other
operations that are common to the built-in keypad, refer to the FRENIC-Mini Instruction Manual
(INR-SI47-0791-E), Chapter 3.
Before installing and using the Remote Keypad, read through this manual in conjunction with the
FRENIC-Mini User's Manual and make yourself familiar with its proper use. Improper use may
prevent normal operation or cause a failure or reduced life of the inverter.
