cannot be fitted on the drive.

2.2 Keypad operation
2.2.1 Control buttons
The keypad consists of:
1. Programming buttons: used to navigate the parameter structure and change parameter values.
2. Mode button: used to change between the display modes – parameter view, parameter edit, status.
3. Reset button
4. Help button (Keypad Plus only) - displays text briefly describing the selected parameter.
5. Start, Fwd/Rev buttons (Keypad Plus only) - used to control the drive if Keypad mode is selected.
The Help button toggles between other display modes and parameter help mode. The up and down functions on the joypad scroll the help text to
allow the whole string to be viewed. The right and left functions on the joypad have no function when help text is being viewed.
The display examples in this section show the DST-Keypad 7 segment LED display. The examples are the same for the SM-Keypad Plus except
that the information displayed on the lower row on the DST-Keypad is displayed on the right hand side of the top row on the SM-Keypad Plus.
The drive parameters are accessed as shown in Figure 2-3.
