Error

Name

Cause(s)

Code

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

E 1 2

External trip

A signal on an intelligent input terminal configured as

 

EXT has occurred. The inverter trips and turns OFF

 

 

 

 

the output to the motor.

 

 

 

E 1 3

USP

When the Unattended Start Protection (USP) is

 

enabled, an error occurred when power is applied

 

 

 

 

while a Run signal is present. The inverter trips and

 

 

does not go into Run Mode until the error is cleared.

 

 

 

E 1 4

Ground fault

The inverter is protected by the detection of ground

 

faults between the inverter output and the motor

 

 

 

 

during powerup tests. This feature protects the

 

 

inverter, and does not protect humans.

 

 

 

E 1 5

Input over-voltage

When the input voltage is higher than the specified

 

value, it is detected 100 seconds after powerup and

 

 

 

 

the inverter trips and turns OFF its output.

 

 

 

E 2 1

Inverter thermal trip

When the inverter internal temperature is above the

 

threshold, the thermal sensor in the inverter module

 

 

 

 

detects the excessive temperature of the power

 

 

devices and trips, turning the inverter output OFF.

 

 

 

E 3 5

Thermistor

When a thermistor is connected to terminals [5] and

 

[CM1] and the inverter has sensed the temperature is

 

 

 

 

too high, the inverter trips and turns OFF the output.

 

 

 

- - - U

Under-voltage (brown-

Due to low input voltage, the inverter turns its output

 

out) with output shutoff

OFF and tries to restart. If it fails to restart, then the

 

 

alarm trips to record the under-voltage error event.

 

 

 

NOTE: If an EEPROM error (E08) occurs, be sure to confirm the parameter data values are still correct. If the power is turned OFF while the [RS] (Reset) intelligent input terminal is ON, an EEPROM error will occur when power is restored.
