The Eaton Power XL DG1 variable frequency drive has two modes of operation: Local and Remote.
Both modes determine 2 things:
One: Where the PowerXL DG1 will receive a run/start command.
Two: The speed reference source.
HERE IS HOW YOU SELECT LOCAL AND REMOTE MODE
Method 1: Local Remote keypad button.

- Press the OK key to confirm the choice.
- If Remote is selected, the yellow REMOTE, LED indicator light will be iluminated. Also, the control place status Indicator on the display screen, will display I/O, if the default settings are unchanged.
- If Local is selected, the yellow REMOTE, LED indicator light will be iluminated. Also, the control place status Indicator on the display screen will display KEY, if default settings are unchanged.
- The default run/start command in Local mode is the green button on the keypad.
