Symptom or Error & (Error Code)

Possible Cause

Measures to Be Taken

Display OFF

 

No control voltage.

Check wire harness and control voltage

 

 

Main breaker tripped or fuse blown

 

 

 

F1 fuse blown on power supply PCB

Check and change.

 

 

Bad connection of flat ribbon wire

Verify connectors.

 

 

joining power supply PCB to control

Check power supply board and logic

 

 

PCB

board for 5VDC. Use a DC voltmeter on

 

 

 

the power supply board, (-) lead of

 

 

 

voltmeter on the top lead of C6 (located

 

 

 

next to the black heatsink on the right

 

 

 

edge of the power supply board) and the

 

 

 

(+) lead of voltmeter on top lead of Diode

 

 

 

AD21 or R25 (located on the upper right

 

 

 

corner of the power supply board.)

Equipment does not respond to STOP /

F2 fuse blown on power supply PCB

Check and change.

START controls

 

 

 

Frequency error (admits

 

No 1L1 phase or frequence is out of

Check 1L1 phase and/or mains

45Hz f main 65Hz)

(Ex10)

range

frequence

Overload trip

(Ex11)

Excessive load or excessive current

Verify overload conditions during starting

 

 

during starting

time and steady state. Check settings in

 

 

 

parameters "Nxxx", "Lxxx", and "oxxx"

Synchronism loss

(Ex13)

Phase 1L1 lost

Check 1L1 phase

Phase A, B, C thyristor

(Ex14)

Short circuited thyristor

Check thyristor module.

 

(Ex15)

 

Check ground connections and voltage to

 

(Ex16)

 

ground.

 

 

 

Poor ribbon cable connection

 

 

No output phases

Check 2T1, 4T2 and 6T3 phases

Heatsink thermostat

(Ex17)

Heatsink thermostat tripped by

Check for adequate ventilation.

 

 

overheating or defective

Check thermostat and wiring

Motor thermistor(Ex18)

 

Motor thermistor tripped by

Check thermistor and wiring, if no

 

 

overheating or defective

thermistor terminal 5 and 6 must be

 

 

 

jumpered

Phase A, B, C loss

(Ex19)

No input / output phases

Check power wire harness for 1L1,

 

(Ex20)

 

3L2, 5L3, 2T1, 4T2 and 6T3

 

(Ex21)

Defective thyristor or ribbon wire

Verify gate and cathode wire harness.

 

 

harness loose or defective

Verify thyristors

Stalled rotor

(Ex22)

Equipment detected stalled motor

Restart equipment and check for an

 

 

rotor

appreciable loss in motor speed at any

 

 

 

time

Internal error

(Ex23)

Micro-controller malfunction

Check IC1 and IC8 are correctly inserted

 

 

 

in their sockets.

 

 

 

Check for noise on control voltage power

 

 

 

or line

Long start time

(Ex25)

Current limit condition present more

Increase current limit and / or acceleration

 

 

than2 x ta sec. or 240 sec. (ta =

ramp time

 

 

acceleration ramp time)

 

Lock-out

(Ex27)

The time between startings is less

Check if settings are correct.

 

 

that the adjusted in parameter "LKxx"

This protection may be disabled

Undervoltage

(Ex28)

The line voltage exceeds of limit set in

Check if settings are correct.

Overvoltage

(Ex29)

parameters "UVxx" or "OVxx"

This protection may be disabled

Undercurrent

(Ex30)

The motor current exceeds of limit set

Check if settings are correct.

Overcurrent

(Ex31)

in parameters "UCxx" or "OCxx"

This protection may be disabled
