5.2.1 Removing the keypad
The keypad is attached to the body of the soft starter by a DB9 serial connector and two screws. The screws are
concealed behind a snap-on faceplate.
To remove the keypad:
1. Models D3-0023-B to D3-1000-B: open the Digistart D3's door.
Models D3-0255-N to D3-1600-N: remove the Digistart D3's front cover.
2. Insert a small screwdriver under the faceplate, at the base of the keypad, and use the screwdriver to lever the
faceplate off the keypad.
3. Lift the faceplate off completely.
4. Remove the two screws holding the keypad in place.
5. Lift the keypad gently off the soft starter. Pull the keypad forwards, to avoid damaging the DB9 connector.
5.2.2 Reattaching the keypad
To reattach the keypad:
1. Align the connector on the back of the keypad with the socket on the soft starter and push the keypad firmly into
place. The keypad will be held in place by the connector and two locating nibs in the top right and bottom left
corners.
For temporary installation (eg during commissioning) it is not necessary to screw the keypad in place.
2. Replace the two screws holding the keypad in place.
3. Slide the bottom edge of the faceplate over the body of the keypad, then swing the top edge of the faceplate into
