The red stop   button is also used to reset the drive.
5.2      Keypad operation
Control buttons
The keypad consists of: 
1. Joypad - 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. Three control buttons - used to control the drive if keypad mode is 
selected. 
4. Help button (MP-Keypad only) - displays text briefly describing the 
selected parameter.
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 SM-Keypad, seven 
segment, LED display. The examples are the same for the MP-Keypad, 
The exceptions is that the information displayed on the lower row on the 
SM-Keypad is displayed on the right hand side of the top row on the MP-
Keypad.
This chapter introduces the user interfaces, menu structure and security level of the drive.

There are two types of keypad available for the Mentor MP. The SM-Keypad has an LED display, and the MP-Keypad has an LCD display.

The display consists of two horizontal rows of 7 segment LED displays.

5.1.2     MP-Keypad (LCD)
The display consists of three lines of text.
The top line shows the drive status or the current menu and parameter 
number being viewed on the left, and the parameter value or the specific 
trip type on the right.
