3.4 Data backup on the memory card
To save the settings of the frequency converter you require an empty memory card. Proceed
as follows:
● Switch off the frequency converter power supply
● Wait until the frequency converter is in a completely no-voltage condition and no LED on
● Insert the empty memory card into the card slot on the Control Unit.
● Then switch-on the frequency converter power supply again.
After the power supply has been switched on, the frequency converter copies its settings to
the memory card.
Note
If the memory card already contains settings of another frequency converter, then the
frequency converter does not write its settings to the memory card, but takes the settings
from the memory card.
