Functionality
The Parameter Loader provides the ability to upload/download parameter sets between the
inverter and an SD card. It is only a commissioning tool and has to be removed during
normal operation.
Note
To clone saved parameter settings from one inverter to another, a Parameter Loader is
required. For detailed information about clone steps, see the data transferring steps
described in this section.
During parameter cloning, make sure you either connect the PE terminal to earth or observe
ESD protective measures.
SD card socket
The Parameter Loader contains an SD card socket which is connected directly to the
expansion port on the inverter.
Battery power supply
In addition to the memory card interface, the Parameter Loader can hold two batteries
(consumer grade, non-rechargeable carbon-zinc or alkaline AA size batteries only) which
allow the inverter to be powered directly from this option module to perform data transfer
when the mains power is unavailable.
Risk of fire and explosion due to charging or short-circuiting of batteries
Battery charging or direct connection of plus (+) and minus (-) poles can cause leakage,
heat generation, fire and even explosion.
• Do not charge the non-rechargeable batteries.
• Do not store and/or carry batteries with metallic products such as necklaces.
