5.1Errors (Alarms)

PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS

If any fault has occurred in the inverter, the corresponding protective function is activated and the error (alarm) indication appears automatically on the PU display. When the protective function is activated, refer to "5.2 Troubleshooting" and clear up the cause by taking proper action. If an alarm stop has occurred, the inverter must be reset to restart it.
