6.10 Reviewing the Fault Status in the Display Group

When a fault is active, this is annunciated on the drive by flashing the STOP/FAULT LED. This procedure is used to review the active fault as well as certain conditions at the time the fault occurred.

Step 1. When an overcurrent condition has been detected by the drive, a fault will be latched and the display will show the condition.

Step 2. Press the ENTER key to see the frequency at which the fault occurred. This example indicates that the drive was outputting 30.00 Hz when the fault occurred.

Step 3. Press the up arrow to view the output current during the fault. This example indicates that the drive was outputting 5.0 Amps when the fault occurred.

Step 4. Press the up arrow key again to view the operating status of the drive when the fault occurred. This example indicates that the drive was accelerating when the fault occurred.

Step 5. Press the STOP/RESET button on the keypad to reset the fault and the STOP/FAULT LED will illuminate solid indicating that the fault is cleared and that the drive is in the stopped condition. The display will indicate that there is no longer a fault condition.
