Using Intelligent Output Terminals
Alarm Signal
The inverter alarm signal is active when a fault has
occurred and it is in the Trip Mode (refer to the
diagram at right). When the fault is cleared the
alarm signal becomes inactive.
We must make a distinction between the alarm
signal AL and the alarm relay contacts [AL0],
[AL1] and [AL2]. The signal AL is a logic
function, which you can assign to the open collec-
tor output terminals [11] or [12] or the relay
outputs. The most common (and default) use of the relay is for AL, thus the labeling of
its terminals. Use an open collector output (terminal [11] or [12]) for a low-current logic
signal interface or to energize a small relay (50 mA maximum). Use the relay output to
interface to higher voltage and current devices (10 mA minimum).

Notes:
•
When the alarm output is set to normally closed, a
time delay of less than 2 seconds occurs until the
contact is closed when the power is turned ON.
•
Terminals [11] and [12] are open collector outputs,
so the electric specifications of [AL] are different
from the contact output terminals [AL0], [AL1],
[AL2].
•
When the inverter power supply is turned OFF, the
alarm signal output is valid as long as the external
control circuit has power.
•
This signal output has the delay time (300 ms
nominal) from the fault alarm output.
•
The relay contact specifications are in
tions of Control and Logic Connections" on

tions are on the next page.
