To simplify programming large values, the cursor can be
moved one digit to the left by simultaneously pressing the
Scroll + and Scroll – keys. Pressing and holding both keys
will cause the cursor to continue indexing to the left. After
reaching the most significant digit position, it will roll over
to the least significant digit position.

Tip: The quickest method to program large values is to scroll
the first digit to the correct value, index the cursor one digit
to the left and scroll to set the value of the second digit, and
repeat the process for the other digits. Scrolling the value of
a specific digit will only change the value of digits at or to
the left of the cursor.

The function of this key is identical to the Scroll+ key except
that it causes the display to decrement rather than increment.

If a menu name is shown on line 1, pressing this key will
cause the sub-menu or parameter shown on line 2 of the
display to become the active menu or parameter. This
sub-menu or parameter name will move to line 1 and the new
menu choices or parameter value will be shown on line 2.

If a parameter name is shown on line 1 and the parameter
value is on line 2, pressing Select will cause the displayed
parameter value to be stored in RAM. This value is also used
as the current operating parameter value. After the parameter
value has been stored in RAM, the display will return to the
previous menu display with the parameter name on line 2 of
the display.

If the Mode key is used to return the display to the previous
menu display, any parameter value changes will not be stored
in RAM.

Important: All parameter value changes are initially stored
in RAM. To save the data to EEPROM it is necessary to exit
the DRIVE SETUP menu and return to the DISPLAY TYPE
menu. Upon exiting DRIVE SETUP, all parameter changes
are automatically stored into EEPROM. If power is removed
from the drive or the drive is reset before the changes have
been stored in EEPROM, these changes will be lost. When
data is being written to the EEPROM, the “

” symbol will

momentarily show as character 3 on line 2 of the display.
