E5AX-LA/-MA E5AX-LA/-MA Inputting Parameters The Digital Controller has three display levels, 0, 1, and 2, in which only specific parameters can be set. Level 0 is the initial and is automatically entered at power application. To change the mode to set or change a different group of parameters, hold down the Level Key for 2 seconds minimum.
