Error Condition
CPU Fault
Ground Fault
Main Cause
Indicates a problem in the microprocessor or a low voltage condition.
Indicates the ground fault current exceeded the threshold. If ground fault protection was selected, the ground fault LED illuminates solidly and the motor stops. If ground fault warning was selected, the ground fault LED flashes and the motor continues to run.
Remedy
Verify voltage between terminals 5 and 6 is more than 10 VAC. If fault persists, call Siemens.
The cause of the ground fault should be determined and removed before using the motor again. F16 on the HHC displays the ground fault trip current.
