4.6 Local/Remote Mode Switching
Local/remote switching is useful for checking the operation of an inverter or to perform an
inspection while retaining all parameter values. Also, in an emergency, it can also be used to

The [ESC] key is a programmable key that can be configured to carry out multiple functions. For

(codes In.65–71) is set to 13(RUN Enable) and the relevant terminal is turned on.
• During remote operation (remote operation), the inverter will operate according to the previously
set frequency reference source and the command received from the input device.
• If Ad.10 (power-on run) is set to 0(No), the inverter will NOT operate on power-on even when the
