6.4.2 Identifying Fault Codes and Recovering
ATTENTION: DC bus capacitors retain hazardous voltages after input power has been disconnected. After disconnecting input power, wait five
!minutes for the DC bus capacitors to discharge and then check the voltage with a voltmeter to ensure the DC bus capacitors are discharged before touching any internal components. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Drive fault codes are shown in table 6.3. To clear a single fault that has occurred so that the drive can be started again, correct any problems indicated by the fault code and press the STOP/RESET key on the keypad, or assert the fault reset from the selected control source (P.000). Because multiple faults can occur and only the first will be displayed, you must access the error log in order to view all of the faults that have occurred. See section 6.4.3 for instructions on how to view the error log.
