User password 1 (selection of protective operation, setting check) 
User password protection valid 
 
The password function is the function to hide the function code entirely/partially which is set for the inverter. When 
this function is used, perform correct settings after familiarizing yourself with the following details. If incorrect settings 
are made, the function code cannot be changed or checked. An alarm may also occur and the inverter may stop. 
Perform the operation carefully. 
 
If the objective is to prevent inadvertent rewriting of the setting value from the keypad, it is recommended 
to use the data protective function with function code F00 rather than the password function. For details 
of the data protection, refer to the items in F00. 
If  a password  is  set carelessly,  the  setting values cannot be changed  from the keypad,  multi-function 
keypad, or external device using the link function. Be careful for setting. 
If an incorrect password setting value is entered and you failed to decode the password, the password 
protection state cannot be released. In addition, failure to decode the password consecutively 5 times 
results in a warning. 
To prevent the password decoding by an ill-disposed third party, failure to decode the password for the 
specified number of times results in lok alarm, which disables the inverter operation. Therefore, it is 
recommended  to  decode  the  password  during  stop  of  the  system.  If  it  is  necessary  to  decode  the 
password during operation, perform decoding carefully. 
We are not able to know the passwords set by customers. If you have forgotten the password setting 
value,  the  only  way  to  decode  the  password  is  initialization  of  the  function  code.  Set  and  control  the 
password carefully. 
Password H198 and H99 cannot be accessed via communication. 
 
  Password 1 (Rewrite disable protection) 
Function code setting values excluding some codes can be protected as rewrite disable. 
Select the target function code which is protected by H197 and set the password (hexadecimal 4 digits) with function 
code H198. When function code H199 is set to 1, password 1 protective status (rewrite disable protection) is active.
