17.0 Keypad Key Functions and Navigation 
 
The N3 keypad, provides all the necessary functions to allow full control of the N3 inverter. The keypad has 
membrane type keys and a 7 - segment 4 - digit LED display. Also located on the keypad is a potentiometer that can 
be used to control inverter output frequency when selected as the control source.  A remote keypad is available as an 
option, and is covered more in detail in the Option Modules Sec. 20.0.
