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:
•
By default, the relay is configured as normally
closed (C036=01). Refer to the next page for an
explanation.
•
In the default relay configuration, an inverter power
loss turns ON the alarm output. the alarm signal
remains ON as long as the external control circuit
has power.
•
When the relay output is set to normally closed, a
time delay of less than 2 seconds occurs after
powerup before the contact is closed.
•
Terminals [11] and [12] are open collector outputs,
so the electric specifications of [AL] are different
from the contact output terminals [AL0], [AL1],
[AL2].
•
This signal output has the delay time (300 ms
nominal) from the fault alarm output.
•
The relay contact specifications are in

contact diagrams for different conditions are on the
