The strongest available identification sources classify IC752SPL014 as “KEYPAD ASSEMBLY, LS2100”, while the more specific is identified as “KEYPAD ASSEMBLY, LCI” for the GE system.
Some online listings incorrectly describe as a general-purpose operator interface or QuickPanel device and attach unrelated display, voltage, and communications specifications. Those claims conflict with the component-level GE parts listings and should not be used as the basis for a replacement specification.
Product Introduction
The is a dedicated keypad assembly for the GE Load-Commutated Inverter control system. It belongs to the operator-control portion of the LCI rather than being a PLC CPU, I/O module, communication card, or standalone HMI. GE parts listings place directly among control-system hardware and identify its function as a keypad assembly.
For maintenance purposes, this distinction is important. Replacing the keypad is fundamentally different from replacing an entire operator panel. The physical assembly, connector arrangement, mechanical mounting, revision, and associated operator-interface hardware should be checked against the installed equipment before procurement. The documented designation provides a useful additional identifier when the suffix is present on the existing assembly.

Engineering Pain Point
The biggest procurement risk is misidentifying as a standalone HMI. Several secondary websites attach generic touchscreen, Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485, or 24 VDC specifications to this number, but those specifications are not supported by the more specific component records. The reliable component-level evidence instead identifies it as an keypad assembly.
Typical Applications
- GE LCI systems — Local operator interaction with the load-commutated inverter control system.
- Static starter installations — Used as part of the operator-control hardware associated with equipment.
- GE turbine/generator control maintenance — Replacement of failed or damaged operator keypad hardware while retaining the existing LCI control architecture.
- Control-panel refurbishment — Useful when restoring the original operator interface rather than replacing the complete control system.
Technical Pitfalls to Avoid
- Do not classify as a generic HMI. The available component records specifically identify it as an keypad assembly.
- Verify the suffix. -BB is specifically documented as an LCI keypad assembly. If the installed label includes -BB, retain that complete designation in the procurement record.
- Do not use unrelated HMI specifications. Published claims such as 7-inch display, 800 × 600 resolution, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and 24 VDC are associated with generic or conflicting online listings and should not be assumed to describe this keypad assembly.
- Check the complete operator assembly. Determine whether the failure is limited to the keypad or involves the associated operator panel, display, cable, connector, or LCI control electronics.
- Record the hardware revision. If the existing unit has a suffix, PCB marking, assembly number, or revision code beyond , photograph and record it before replacement.
- Verify mechanical compatibility. Keypad assemblies can have application-specific mounting and connector arrangements even when their base part numbers appear similar.
Related Products
- — Specific LCI keypad assembly variant associated with the system.
- — Complete operator-panel assembly for the LCI system; this is a broader assembly than the keypad.
- GE IC752SPL013 — GE keypad assembly associated with excitation equipment rather than the LCI; do not substitute based solely on the similar numbering.
- GE IC752SPL011 — Associated GE /drive hardware designation; verify the exact function before considering it part of a replacement package.
- GE IC752SPL011BA — Operator interface panel designation associated with the same broader GE IC752 family; not automatically equivalent to the keypad assembly.
- GE IC752SPL118 — Operator interface/display station designation for the 2000-series equipment; functionally different from the keypad.
Procurement Note
Specify the component as:
GE — Keypad Assembly, / LCI
If the installed label shows the expanded identifier, use . Available records specifically associate the -BB version with the GE LCI- control system.
Before approving a replacement, verify the complete part number, suffix, hardware revision, panel configuration, connector arrangement, and physical mounting. Do not approve the component based on generic online specifications describing it as a 7-inch HMI or inverter; those descriptions conflict with the more specific parts documentation identifying as an keypad assembly.
