I found it necessary to actually go over the keypad here. It does also show it on my manual but if I just do a quick overview here: the green button means go, the red button means stop. Forward and Reverse are a little tricky because when you press Forward and Reverse, I’m going to get an error. This is the default program. It comes setup for forward only. So you actually have to go into Parameter 110 in order to initiate or enable Forward and Reverse. The M is actually where you’re going to go to program something. So if I press M I can actually scroll up and down with the arrow keys see that scroll through the Parameters which are going to be later in the manual, and actually make changes using that M key or Enter key. Then I press M to change a value and I press M again to actually enable that value. For example if I was going to go to forward and reverse, which is 110, I can go up to Parameter 110, press Menu, change that to 1, press Menu again, and now my Forward and Reverse button – well maybe it isn’t 110. We’ll find out here momentarily, but Forward and Reverse button still aren’t working which means something’s weird with my program. So I’m going to take that 110 [and] I’m going to turn it back to zero. We’re going to double-check that here a little bit later.

So the only other buttons we got here are the up and down arrow keys. If it’s at the stop screen, the up and down [keys] will actually change your target speed, and that’s in Hertz. So out of the box if I use the up and down arrow keys, I can actually change my output speed before I even press the Start button. So that’s a real basic overview of the keypad. Not a whole lot there [and] not very complicated. At least it kind of goes into what the layout is, how to use it, and that kind of thing.

Why Can’t You Just Give Me A Dollar Amount Quote?

Our experienced team of bench technicians, who are certified across many industrial vendors, will evaluate your equipment at the component level, source parts, and provide you with a real estimate on your repair.

If you need a preliminary dollar amount repair quote, feel free to estimate using the following averages:

  • Minor repairs: As low as 20% of the price of a replacement unit.
  • Major repairs: As much as 70% of the price of a replacement unit.

What Do I Do Next?

Just fill out the form above and you will receive an e-mail that doubles as your packing slip. Once you’ve received the e-mail, just print it out and put it in the box with the item when you ship it.

Is There A Warranty On Repairs?

All of our repairs include a 12-month in-service warranty. This means your warranty doesn’t kick in until you install the equipment you had repaired.
