To operate the TECHTOP TD20 Series inverter at a remote location, use an external keypad with parameter copy functionality. Connect the external keypad to the VFD and configure AI1 settings. Ensure that the external keypad AI1 is set correctly and adjust the local potentiometer AI1 to 0V/0mA before starting the VFD if the external keypad AI1 is the frequency reference source. The keypad will display different states, including stopping, running, function code editing, and fault alarm.
TD20 Series VFD Safety Precautions 1 Safety Precautions Please read this manual carefully and follow all safety precautions before moving, installing, operating and servicing the variable-frequency drive (VFD). If ignored, physical injury or death may occur, or damage may occur to the devices.
TD20 Series VFD Safety Precautions 1.3 Safety guide • Only qualified electricians are allowed to operate on the VFD. • Do not carry out any wiring and inspection or changing components when the power supply is applied. Ensure all input power supply is disconnected before wiring and checking and always wait for at least the time designated on the VFD or until the DC bus voltage is less than 36V.

TD20 Series VFD Safety Precautions • R, S and T are the input terminals of the power supply, while U, V and W are the motor terminals. Please connect the input power cables and motor cables with proper techniques; otherwise the damage to the VFD may occur.
If no, contact local dealers or TECHTOP CANADA INC. offices. 3. Check whether the interior surface of packing box is abnormal, for example, in wet condition, or whether the enclosure of the VFD is damaged or cracked. If yes, contact local dealers or TECHTOP CANADA INC. offices.

Questions and answers
How do you get this invertor to operate at a remote location ?
To operate the TECHTOP TD20 Series inverter at a remote location, use an external keypad with parameter copy functionality. Connect the external keypad to the VFD and configure AI1 settings. Ensure that the external keypad AI1 is set correctly and adjust the local potentiometer AI1 to 0V/0mA before starting the VFD if the external keypad AI1 is the frequency reference source. The keypad will display different states, including stopping, running, function code editing, and fault alarm.
