Outlines of each corresponding equipment are as follows.
(1) Standard keypad
The standard keypad allows you to run and monitor the inverter.
It can be used independent of the y code setting.
(2) Inverter support loader (FRENIC loader)
When the computer, of which FRENIC loader is installed, is connected via the RS-485 communication (port
1), inverter support (monitoring, function code editing, test running) is possible.

For the settings of y codes, see the descriptions of function codes y01 to y10.
FRENIC-MEGA series of inverters has a USB port on the keypad. When connecting to the inverte
support loader via the USB port, simply set "1" (factory default) to the station address (y01).
(3) Host equipment (higher-level equipment)
