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 collector output terminals [11], [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
Logic Signal Specifications" on page 4–6.
contact diagrams for different conditions are on
the next page.
