Digital Keypad Functions and Indications
Description of the functions of the keys and indicators of the GS4 AC Drive
Keypad.
Descriptions of Keypad Functions
RUN Key
• Valid only when the source of operation command is from the keypad.
• The RUN LED light (above the button) turns ON when the drive is running.
• RUN can be pressed even when drive is in process of stopping.
• When in “LOCAL” mode, RUN is valid only when the source of operation command is from the
keypad.
STOP/RESET Key
This key has the highest processing priority in any situation.
• When the drive receives a STOP command, whether or not the drive is in operation or stop
status, the drive will execute a "STOP" command.
• The RESET key can be used to reset the drive after a fault occurs. For those faults that can't be
reset by the RESET key, see the fault records after pressing MENU key for details.
N OTE: The ability to STOP the drive from the keypad is effective ONLY if the drive is configured to
RUN and/or STOP from the keypad. Keypad STOP can be disabled by parameters such as P3.00,
P3.01, P3.03~P3.16.
Operation Direction Key
• This key controls only the operation direction and does NOT activate the drive.
FWD: forward. REV: reverse.
• Refer to the LED descriptions for more details.
ENTER Key
Press ENTER to go to the next menu level. If it is the last level, then press ENTER to execute the
command.

Direction: Left/Right/Up/Down
• In the numeric value setting mode, the arrows are used to move the cursor and change the
numeric value.
• In the menu/text selection mode, the arrows are used for item selection.
Function Keys
• F1 is JOG function.
• The F2, F3 keys are reserved for future use. The F4 key is used to ADD parameters to the user-
defined My-Menu Quick-Start Menu. (See “My Menu” in the Quick-Start section of the GS4 User
Manual, “Chapter3: Keypad Operation and Quick-Start” for more information).
LOCAL Key
• This key causes the drive to follow the LOCAL (2nd source) settings for frequency command and
operation.* The factory settings of both source of Local frequency and Local operation are the
Digital Keypad.
• Pressing the LOCAL key with the drive stopped will switch the operation and frequency to
the LOCAL source (P3.01 and P4.01). Pressing the LOCAL key with the drive running can be
configured to keep running or to stop upon transition. See P3.58 for more information.
• The selected mode, LOCAL or REMOTE, will be displayed on the GS4-KPD.
• When P3.58=0 then LOCAL correlates to HAND mode. The Digital Input Definition must not be
set to 33 (LOC/REM Switch).
* Refer to P3.58 for more detail and other options on how the drive behaves when switching between
LOCAL and REMOTE. Refer to P3.00, P3.01, P4.00 and P4.01 for defining LOCAL and REMOTE sources
of operation and frequency.
REMOTE Key
• This key causes the drive to follow the REMOTE (1st source) settings for frequency command and
operation.* The factory settings of both source of Remote frequency and Remote operation are
the Digital Keypad.
• Pressing the REMOTE key with the drive stopped will switch the operation and frequency to the
REMOTE source. Pressing the REMOTE key with the drive running can be configured to keep
running or to stop upon transition. See P3.58 for more information.
• The selected mode, LOCAL or REMOTE, will be displayed on the GS4-KPD.
• When P3.58=0 then LOCAL correlates to HAND mode. The Digital Input definition must not be
set to 33 (LOC/REM Switch).
* Refer to P3.58 for more detail and other options on how the drive behaves when switching between
LOCAL and REMOTE. Refer to P3.00, P3.01, P4.00 and P4.01 for defining LOCAL and REMOTE sources
of operation and frequency.
