4. Functions in detail
Remote Keypad can be used as remote operation panel (“REMOTE KEYPAD MODE”) or parameter
back-up device (“COPY MODE”). When the “COPY MODE” lamp is lit when turning power on, Remote
Keypad operates in “COPY MODE”, otherwise in “REMOTE KEYPAD MODE”.
4.1. Procedure to switch the operation mode
According to the procedure described in “3. Connection and start-up”, turn on the power of Remote
Keypad while holding down the [ENT] key of Remote Keypad. Operation mode changes.
4.2. “REMOTE KEYPAD MODE”
In “REMOTE KEYPAD MODE”, operation is the same as operation on the panel of the inverter. For
details, see instruction manual of the inverter. Data entered through Remote Keypad takes priority
over data entered through the inverter’s control panel. However, if Remote Keypad is deactivated by
an unexpected event such as an abnormality, the inverter’s input keys remain functional.
4.3. “COPY MODE”
In “COPY MODE”, storing and loading the parameters are permitted. Editing the parameters is not
permitted.
Key LED indication Key operation and description

The type of device is different (different in series or voltage class or capacity of inverter).
Press the [ENT] key to copy between two inverters of different capacity or voltage class.
Press the [ESC] key to cancel copying. If “sup” (system area parameters) protection
has been disabled by setting “prot”(memory protection) to “off”, the copying
cannot be executed even if the [ENT] key is pressed. Copying to the inverter of a
different series is impossible.
After copying between two inverters with different capacities, the type information
parameters depending on the inverter capacity or voltage class should be initialized. See
the inverter instruction manual on how to initialize them.

Indicated memory is not found or has been corrupted.
This indication appears when memory A, B, or C is selected to copy data from, to
compare data to, or to protect data, but no data can be found in the selected memory
(including the case when power was turned off during the previous copying operation),
or a CRC code error occurred in the selected memory. Press the [ESC] key to cancel.
In this case the data has to be rewritten.

Indicates the title number of the parameter that was found to be different while using
comparison function, or that cannot be written while using the copying function. Press
the [ENT] key to continue, the [ESC] key to cancel.
When Remote Keypad did not find any data in one memory, it flashes “%” in case the
data is missing in the memory that was selected first, or “Hz” if it is missing in the
memory that was selected second. This may happen parameter data may be missing
when the software versions of two inverters are different.
N.B.: Parameter titles are written to the inverter memory in consecutive order. When
Remote Keypad indicates missing or mismatched data by flashing a parameter title
number on the display, all prior paramete
r titles will have been written to the inverter
already.
Remote Keypad may stop at the following parameters during the parameter copying,
but
this is no problem because these parameters are not needed to copy into the inverter.
Please press the [ENT] key to continue the comparison.
In this case, CRC code will alternately flash when the comparison is completed.
This situation can be prevented by making the same condition (the state of
input or output
terminals, and communication options) of the inverter while copying to the inverter.
However, the unique parameters like IP address cannot be set to same value.
c130,c151,c152,c159,c202,c502,c503,c517～c522,c524,
