Introduction

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a LCD remote keypad (RKP004Z) designed specifically for
Toshiba VF-AS1/PS1 series industrial inverters.
The use of this LCD remote keypad (also referred to as the unit, the product and the
remote keypad) equipped with a high-resolution liquid crystal display with back lighting
makes it easier to set parameters or monitor the operation.
The unit can be mounted easily on an inverter's operation panel, and on a board by
means of an optional attachment. Moreover, using the unit along with a dedicated
interconnect cable makes it possible to operate the inverter by remote control.

This instruction manual mainly explains how to use the keys on the LCD remote keypad.
For details of parameters available, refer to the instruction manual included with your
inverter.

Warning

● Never connect the unit to any inverter other than a VF-AS1/PS1 series
inverter or any communications device. Do not use any cable other than

 About the change of parameter settings

By default, the inverter is set with parameters to the mode in which it controls the
operation of the machine via a terminal board. Moreover, the inverter is set so that
the switching between forward run and reverse run cannot be performed using its
operation panel.
To operate the inverter using this unit, parameter settings need to be changed, as
described below.

Parameter CMOd (Command input mode) =1 (Pane/LCD-option)
Parameter FMOd (Frequency input mode 1) =4 (Pane/LCD-option)
Parameter Fr (Panel FWD/REV selection) =2 (Forward (switchable)),

3 (Reverse (switchable))

This change of parameter settings makes it possible to start operation using the
[RUN] key, to stop operation using the [STOP/RESET] key, and to switch between
forward run and reverse run using the [FWD/REV] key.
Furthermore, it allows you to set an operation frequency using the control dial.
⇒ Refer to “5.1 Setting a panel operation frequency.”

2. Installing the LCD remote keypad

The LCD remote keypad can be installed on the inverter and on the board (optional).
Using this LCD remote keypad along with a dedicated interconnect cable makes it
possible to operate the inverter by remote control (optional).

2. Installing the LCD remote keypad

2.1 Installing the remote keypad to the inverter

Turn off the inverter, and then follow these steps.

1 Remove the serial RS485 port cover

from the inverter’s main operation
panel.

To detach the cover, wrench it open using
a flat-blade screwdriver or any other
flat-tipped tool.

2 Mount the remote keypad on the

inverter’s main operation panel.

Insert the connector on the remote
keypad into the RS485 port while pushing
in the lock knobs, and then release the
lock knobs to secure the remote keypad.

3 Make sure the remote keypad is fixed

securely to the inverter.

 How to use monitor windows
Monitor windows can be broadly classified under the
following three types.

<Type of window 1: Displays a value and a
graph>

This type of window displays an analog value,
such as an output frequency, output current or
output voltage. (Ex. “Output current”)
It displays the current value both numerically and
in a graph form.
In addition, the minimum allowable value (min)
and the maximum allowable value (max) are also
displayed at the bottom of the window.

<Type of window 2: Displays information in a
graph form>

This type of window displays input/output terminal
information and a life alarm in a graph form. (Ex.
“Input terminal : S4, S3...R, F”)
It displays the ON/OFF status of each terminal
signal and the ON/OFF status of an alarm signal in
a graph form.
If the arrow

is moved to a terminal or alarm

symbol, the name of the function assigned to the
terminal or the name of the alarm is displayed.

<Type of window 3: Displays information in a list
form>

This type of window displays detailed trip
information. (Ex. Past trip # 1 (latest))
It displays the conditions under which the inverter
was operated at the occurrence of tripping.

function can be used.

1) It is not possible to copy, when the inverter form differs,.

2) It is not possible to copy to the inverter while driving.

3) It is not possible to copy, when a minimum unit of the frequency is different.

4) It is necessary to reset up the parameters after the copy when copying between the

inverters from which capacity differs.

5) It is necessary to reset power supply after the copy when the unit of time differs.
