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.

Listed below are other publications on the FRENIC-Mini to be consulted in conjunction with this
manual as necessary.
Note that these publications are subject to change without notice. Make sure that you have the most
up-to-date versions at all times.
Safety precautions
Before proceeding with installation, connecting, cabling, wiring, operation, inspection or
maintenance, read this manual thoroughly. Make sure also that you have sound knowledge of the
product, and familiarize yourself with all safety information and precautions.
Safety precautions are classified into the following two categories in this manual.
Failure to heed the information indicated by this symbol may
lead to dangerous conditions, possibly resulting in death or
serious bodily injuries.
Failure to heed the information indicated by this symbol may
lead to dangerous conditions, possibly resulting in minor or
light bodily injuries and/or substantial property damage.
Failure to heed the information contained under the CAUTION title can also result in serious
consequences. These safety precautions are of utmost importance and must be observed at all
times.

Operation
• Be sure to install the terminal block cover before turning the power on. Do not remove the
cover during power application.
Otherwise electric shock could occur.
• Do not operate switches with wet hands.
Doing so could cause electric shock.
• If the retry function has been enabled, the inverter may automatically restart after tripping,
depending on its cause, causing the motor driven by it to start rotating. In designing a
system or a facility using the motor driven by the FRENIC-Mini, make sure that such
automatic restart would not cause any personal injury, damage to equipment, or other
unintended incidents.
• If the stall prevention function has been selected, the inverter may operate at an
acceleration/deceleration time or frequenc y different from the set ones. Design the
machine so that safety is ensured even in such cases.
Otherwise an accident could occur.

Installation and cabling/wiring of option cards
• Do not operate the switch SW1 with wet hands.
Doing so could cause electric shock.
• Before starting installing the RS485 Communications Card, first turn off the power, wait
more than 5 minutes, and make sure, using a circuit tester or another appropriate
instrument, that the DC voltage between the P (+) and N (-) terminals of the main circuit is
less than +25 VDC.
Otherwise electric shock could occur.
• A high voltage is present just on the RS485 Communications Card. Do not remove the
cover for the control circuit terminal block (TB) while power is applied.
Doing so could cause electric shock.
• Generally, the sheath of control circuit wires is not reinforced by any insulation. If the
control circuit wires come into direct contact with the live main circuit terminal, therefore,
the sheath may break. Accordingly, there is a possibility that high voltage on the main
circuit may be applied to the control circuit wires. It is DANGEROUS. Be sure to keep the
control wires away from the live main circuit terminals.
An accident or electric shock could occur.
Disposal
• Handle this Remote Keypad or the RS 485 Communications Card as an industrial waste
when disposing of it.
Otherwise injuries could occur.
Others
• Never attempt to modify the inverter.
Doing so could cause electric shock or injuries.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Drawings in this manual may be illustrated without covers or safety shields for explanation of
detail parts. Restore the covers and shields in the original state and observe the description in
the manual before starting operation.
