Faults and trouble shooting
Faults and trouble shooting
When either one of the variable speed drives or frequen- cy converters in the machine experience a fault and “trip” out, they will cease to run and an error message will ap- pear flashing on the keypad display (see picture below).
The following list are the most commonly experienced faults and possible action steps.
