Setting LCD Panel ID
There is an EEPROM in the inverter which stores its supported LCD type ID
code. If you replace an 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 see the LCD Panel ID:
1. Follow the instructions on-screen to read current or to set 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.
Note:
Make sure the new ID code you choose corresponds with 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.
2. Restart the computer - the new LCD should work normally.
Note:
If LCD cannot display after changing the ID code, make sure you
write the correct ID code, or try reseating the LCD FPC cable
connectors.
Setting Thermal Sensor Utility
The system is equipped with sensors to protect against system overheating.
By setting System and processor thermal thresholds, the system can turn on
the cooling fan or shut down automatically when temperatures reach the
defined threshold parameters.
