Setting the 50/60 Hz selection menu

The 50/60 Hz selection menu is visible only on first power-up or after a factory reset (P0970).
You can make a selection using the BOP or exit the menu without making a selection, and
the menu will not be displayed unless a factory reset is performed.
The motor base frequency also can be selected by changing P0100 to the desired value.
Functionality
