Setting the LCD Panel ID

There is an EEPROM in the inverter which stores its sup-

ported LCD type ID code. If you replace a LCD with one of

a different brand or use a new inverter, the ID information

in the inverter EEPROM should be updated.

Follow the steps below to set the LCD Panel ID:

1. Boot from the Utility Program Diskette.

2. Select LCD Panel ID Utility from PC DOS 7.0

Startup Menu.

3. Follow the instructions on the screen to read the

current or to set a new LCD Panel ID code.

Note: When you set a new LCD Panel ID and the

new LCD is not yet enabled (to function),

connect an external CRT to see the program

execution process.

Attention: Make sure the new ID code you choose

corresponds to the LCD brand and type. If you write a

wrong ID into the inverter, just reboot and re-execute

the program and input the correct ID code.

4. Restart the computer — the new LCD should work

normally.

Note: If the LCD cannot display after changing the ID

code, make sure you write the correct ID code or

try reconnecting the LCD FPC cable connectors.

Setting the Thermal Sensor

The system is equipped with sensors to protect against

system overheating. By setting the system and processor

thermal thresholds, the system can turn on the cooling Fan

or shut down automatically when the temperature reaches

the defined threshold parameters.

System experiencing frequent auto sensor shutdown may

need to reset the thermal sensor threshold and execute

the Fan test to ensure the normal operation of the cooling

Fan (refer to “Fan Checkout” on page 28).

Follow the steps below to set the thermal threshold:

1. Boot from the Utility Program Diskette.

2. Select Thermal Sensor Utility from PC DOS 7.0

Startup menu, then press F4.
