Product Line:
ATV61 and ATV71

The graphic keypad, part# VW3A1101, is required for this simple method of toggling between Local and Remote control modes.  In Local mode, the keypad RUN/STOP keys control start and stop, while the dial adjusts the speed reference.

If the F4 key is not assigned to T/K, then follow the procedure for an ATV71, below.

Under the MAIN MENU, select DRIVE MENU and then 1.6 COMMAND.
Scroll down and select F4 Key Assignment and set it to T/K.  ESC back to normal display.
Now pressing the F4 key will toggle between Local and Remote modes.  The active mode can be verified in 1.2 MONITORING.  You will also notice either "LOC" or "REM" in the Parameter Bar at the top of the keypad display.
