 | Avoid installing in a place where ambient temperature or/and humidity change sharply. Keep the transmission cable separate from the power cable of the inverter to prevent the inverter from malfunctioning due to electromagnetic noise.

It is recommended to install the unit on the panel board of a cabinet if it is used as a remote operation panel. Improperly installed units may result in damage and malfunction.

The integrity of data storage is guaranteed for up to 10 years.

The operating life of EEPROM (data storage device) is 10000 operations. Do not execute more than 10000 writing operations.

Do not turn off power or remove the connection cable between the inverter and Remote Keypad while a copying operation is in progress. If the inverter power is turned off or the connection cable is removed while parameters are being copied, data cannot be written correctly.

Do not copy data from Remote Keypad to inverter while the inverter is running. Some of the parameters cannot be written when the inverter is in operation.

When a copying operation is executed between two inverters with different capacities, some of the parameters that vary with the capacity of the inverters will also be copied. Therefore, when copying the parameters between inverters with different capacities or voltage class, the type information parameters of the inverter should always be initialized. See the inverter instruction manual on how to initialize their parameters.

Connection and start-up

Connect Remote Keypad with the inverter according to the procedure stated below.

  1. Set Communication Mode Switch (refer to page.7) on the reverse side of Remote Keypad. The position varies for the inverter series.
    RS485: The inverter with RS485 (2-wire type) port (ex: VF-AS1, etc.)
    LOGIC: The inverter with Common Serial Port (ex: VF-S11, VF-nC1, VF-S9, VF-A7, VF-P7).

  2. Set communication baud rate (the inverter parameter “f800”) to 9600, 19200 or 38400bps (programmed by default setting at the factory).

  3. Turn off the input power to the inverter, wait at least 15 minutes, and insure that the charge lamp on the inverter is no longer lit.

  4. Connect an inverter-unit connection cable (optional) between the communication connector of Remote Keypad and that of the inverter. At this time, be careful not to apply excessive force to the
    connectors. (See the instruction manual of the inverter for connection to the communication port of the inverter.)

  5. After wiring, fix the wires on the surface of the wall in the panel board and so on.

  6. Turn on the inverter, and Remote Keypad starts-up automatically showing a lit panel in the display window.

  7. Using in “COPY MODE”, check that the “COPY MODE” lamp is lit.

  8. In order to change from “REMOTE KEYPAD MODE” to the “COPY MODE”, turn off the power ofinverter and insure that the Remote Keypad is also turned off. Then, turn on the power of the  inverter (Remote Keypad) while holding down the [ENT] key of Remote Keypad.
    N.B.: When disconnecting Remote Keypad from the inverter, follow step (3) of the above procedure.

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”.

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.

“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.

“COPY MODE”
In “COPY MODE”, storing and loading the parameters are permitted. Editing the parameters is not permitted.

TOSHIBA RKP002Z Remote Keypad-18

Copying function “copy”
The data stored in a memory can be copied to another memory selected from among four memories (the inverter’s memory and Remote Keypad memories A, B, and C). Remote Keypad can not be used to copy parameters from one inverter to another inverter of a different series.
N.B.: To copy the data to the inverter’s memory, do it when the inverter has stopped. If you copy the data to the inverter while the inverter is running, some of the parameters fail to be copied.

Operating procedure

TOSHIBA RKP002Z Remote Keypad-19

  • If the [ESC] key is pressed, Remote Keypad returns to previous status (except when executing).
  • When the memory protection function is actuated, Remote Keypad inhibits copying data with “prot” appearing in the display window.
  • If there is no data in memory A of Remote Keypad upon selection as data to copy from, the display shows “err.a” which means copying data is impossible. (When the memory B or C is selected in the same condition, “err.b” or “err.c” appears in the display window.)

Simple copying function
The data stored in the memory A, B or C of Remote Keypad can be copied to the inverter’s memory with simple operation of two keys to select one of the memories A, B and C. Use this function to set the same parameters to more than two inverters. Remote Keypad can not copy parameters to from one inverter to another inverter of a different series. What differs from the “Copying function” in
Section 4.3.1 is the key operation and the contents of parameters to be copied are the same for both functions. It is impossible to copy data from the inverter’s memory to a memory of Remote Keypad in this function.

N.B.: To copy data to the inverter’s memory, do it when the inverter has stopped. If you copy data to the inverter while the inverter is running, some of the parameters may fail to be copied.

Operating procedure

TOSHIBA RKP002Z Remote Keypad-20

  • If the [ESC] key is pressed, Remote Keypad returns to previous status (except when executing).
  • When the memory protection function is actuated, Remote Keypad inhibits copying data with “prot” appearing in the display window.
  • If there is no data in memory A of Remote Keypad upon selection as data to copy from, the display shows“err.a” which means copying data is impossible. (When the memory B or C is selected in the same condition,  “err.b” or “err.c” appears in the display window.)

The same operation as above can also be used to copy data from memory B or memory C of Remote Keypad to the inverter.

TOSHIBA RKP002Z Remote Keypad-21

Since the [ A ], [ B ], and [ C ] keys are provided to be used exclusively for the simple copying function, those keys cannot be used for other functions.

Comparing function “comp”
This function enables the operator to compare data stored in two memories selected from among four memories (the inverter’s memory and Remote Keypad memories A, B, and C) as well as to
search for parameters that differ from each other.
The comparing function cannot be used for editing parameters because it is provided only for searching parameters that differ from each other. Use the “REMOTE KEYPAD MODE” function described in section 4.2 to edit parameters.

Operating procedure

TOSHIBA RKP002Z Remote Keypad-22

  • If the [ESC] key is pressed, Remote Keypad returns to previous status (except when executing).

Memory protection function “prot”
The memory protection function protects the selected memory from being overwritten.
When this function is initiated copying data to the memory is prohibited. Reading the memory data is permitted.
When all the memories are initialized by memory initialization function (clr), the LED indications are as follows: “in”, “a”, “b”, “c” = “off”, “sup” = “on”
This is also the default setting at the time of shipment.

Operating procedure

TOSHIBA RKP002Z Remote Keypad-23

If the [ESC] key is pressed, Remote Keypad returns to previous status (except when executing).
(*1) The Protecting operation of “sup” is different from that provided for other memories and is shown below.

With the same inverter types (capacity, voltage class)

: Protection disabled (write permitted),

With different inverter types (capacity, voltage class)

“–”: Write protected (write prohibited)

In this case, copying operation of parameters from one inverter to another inverter of a different capacity or a different voltage class.

Memory initializing function “clr”
A selected one of the memories either memory A, B, C of Remote Keypad is enable to be initialized with this function. In addition, all memories including system memory of Remote Keypad is also enable to be initialized.

Operating procedure

TOSHIBA RKP002Z Remote Keypad-26

  • If the [ESC] key is pressed, Remote Keypad returns to previous status (except when executing).
  • When the memory protection function is actuated, Remote Keypad prohibits the initialization of memory with “prot” appearing in the display window.

Remote Keypad parameter editing function
This function allows the user to edit the parameters of Remote Keypad.

Remote Keypad parameter list

TOSHIBA RKP002Z Remote Keypad-27

Warning
It is recommended to set the automatic comparing function “f-02” to “1” (default). When “0” is selected, programming errors (caused by environmental circumstances, peripheral devices, etc.) will not be automatically detected. This could result in an accident, if the inverter is operating with the wrong parameters.

Operating procedure

TOSHIBA RKP002Z Remote Keypad-28

  • If the [ESC] key is pressed, Remote Keypad returns to previous status (except when executing).
  • The memory protection function (write protection) can not protect Remote Keypad parameter.
  • The memory initialization function initializes Remote Keypad parameter when “sys (selecting all memories)” is selected.
