Functional Section A: Display
Table 4: Display Function

Number	Function
1	The setup number shows the active setup and the edit setup. • For LCP 21: The setup number shows the active setup and the edit setup. If the same setup acts as both active and edit setup, only that setup number is shown (factory setting). • For LCP 23, the setup number shows on the upper right corner in the status mode. For example, “1(2)” means the active setup is “1” and the editing setup is “2”.
2	• LCP 21 shows only parameter number. • LCP 23 shows both parmenter nubmer and name.
3	Parameter value.
4	Motor direction indicated by a small arrow pointing either clockwise or counterclockwise. For LCP 23, it only shows in status menu on the upper right corner of the screen.
5	The triangle indicates if the LCP is in Status, Quick Menu, or Main Menu.

Functional Section D: Operation Keys and Indicator Lights (LEDs)
Table 7: Operation Keys and Indicator Lights (LEDs)

Number	Key	Function
14	[Hand On]	(1) Starts the drive in local control. (2) An external stop signal via control input or serial communi- cation overrides the local hand on command.
15	[O /Reset]	(1) Stops the motor but does not remove power to the drive. (2) Resets the drive manually after a fault has been cleared. (3) In alarm mode, the alarm is reset when the alarm condition is removed.
16	[Auto On]	Puts the system in remote operational mode, in which the drive only respond to an external start command via control terminals or bus communication.

NOTICE
[2] Coast inverse is the default option for parameter 5-12 Terminal 27 Digital Input. If there is no 24 V supply to terminal 27, [Hand On] does not start the motor. Connect terminal 12 to terminal 27.

Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA)

Via running AMA in VVC+ mode, the drive builds a mathematical model of the motor to optimize compatibility between drive and motor, and thus enhances the motor control performance.
Some motors may be unable to run the complete version of the test. In that case, select [2] Enable Reduced AMA in parameter 1-29 Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA).
For best results, run the following procedure on a cold motor.

Procedure:

Set motor data in parameter group 1-** Load and Motor according to the motor nameplate.
Connect terminal 27 to terminal 12 (24 V voltage) or choose [0] No operation in parameter 5-12 Terminal 27 Digital Input.
Set [1] Enable Complete AMA or [2] Enable Reduced AMA for parameter 1-29 Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA).
Press the [Hand On] key, the test runs automatically and the main display indicates when it is completed.
