Thanks for taking time to provide this clear and detailed response!
The parameters that allow remote operation (turn off the keypad) are in the bubble I copied from the manual, item 8.2, so I think I have those set correctly.
I understand that the keypad can be relocated, but wanted to use larger buttons for my old eyes.
The part I had no idea about was the possibility that the "relay" would hold a signal from the momentary switches. The way I had it wired, when the on switch was depressed, the motor starts and runs as long as you hold it down, which is nice, but not quite how I wanted it to work... Adding a leg to the remote might be the answer.
Perhaps the second mistake I made in purchasing this "economical" vfd, is that the support for it is next to nothing. I was thinking "how hard can it be" and am beginning to understand.
Thanks
Mike
