Warnings and Alarms

8.5 Fault Messages

The warning/alarm information below defines each
warning/alarm condition, provides the probable cause for
the condition, and details a remedy or troubleshooting
procedure.
WARNING 1, 10 Volts low
The control card voltage is below 10 V from terminal 50.
Remove some of the load from terminal 50, as the 10 V
supply is overloaded. Max. 15 mA or minimum 590 Ω.
This condition can be caused by a short in a connected
potentiometer or improper wiring of the potentiometer.
Troubleshooting
Remove the wiring from terminal 50. If the warning clears,
the problem is with the customer wiring. If the warning
does not clear, replace the control card.
WARNING/ALARM 2, Live zero error
This warning or alarm only appears if programmed by the
user in 6-01 Live Zero Timeout Function. The signal on one
of the analog inputs is less than 50% of the minimum
value programmed for that input. Broken wiring or faulty
8 8
device sending the signal can cause this condition.
Troubleshooting
Check connections on all the analog input
terminals. Control card terminals 53 and 54 for
signals, terminal 55 common. MCB 101 terminals
11 and 12 for signals, terminal 10 common. MCB
109 terminals 1, 3, 5 for signals, terminals 2, 4, 6
common).
Check that the frequency converter programming
and switch settings match the analog signal type.
Perform Input Terminal Signal Test.
WARNING/ALARM 3, No motor
No motor has been connected to the output of the
frequency converter.
WARNING/ALARM 4, Mains phase loss
A phase is missing on the supply side, or the mains
voltage imbalance is too high. This message also appears
for a fault in the input rectifier on the frequency converter.
Options are programmed at 14-12 Function at Mains
Imbalance.
Troubleshooting
Check the supply voltage and supply currents to the
frequency converter.
WARNING 5, DC link voltage high
The intermediate circuit voltage (DC) is higher than the
high voltage warning limit. The limit is dependent on the
frequency converter voltage rating. The unit is still active.
WARNING 6, DC link voltage low
The intermediate circuit voltage (DC) is lower than the low
voltage warning limit. The limit is dependent on the
frequency converter voltage rating. The unit is still active.

Operating Instructions
WARNING/ALARM 7, DC overvoltage
If the intermediate circuit voltage exceeds the limit, the
frequency converter trips after a time.
Troubleshooting
WARNING/ALARM 8, DC under voltage
If the intermediate circuit voltage (DC link) drops below
the under voltage limit, the frequency converter checks if a
24 V DC backup supply is connected. If no 24 V DC backup
supply is connected, the frequency converter trips after a
fixed time delay. The time delay varies with unit size.
Troubleshooting
WARNING/ALARM 9, Inverter overload
The frequency converter is about to cut out because of an
overload (too high current for too long). The counter for
electronic, thermal inverter protection gives a warning at
98% and trips at 100%, while giving an alarm. The
frequency converter cannot be reset until the counter is
below 90%.
The fault is that the frequency converter is overloaded by
more than 100% for too long.
Troubleshooting
WARNING/ALARM 10, Motor overload temperature
According to the electronic thermal protection (ETR), the
motor is too hot. Select whether the frequency converter
gives a warning or an alarm when the counter reaches
100% in 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection. The fault occurs
when the motor is overloaded by more than 100% for too
long.

Connect a brake resistor
Extend the ramp time
Change the ramp type
Activate the functions in 2-10 Brake Function
Increase 14-26 Trip Delay at Inverter Fault
Check that the supply voltage matches the
frequency converter voltage.
Perform input voltage test.
Perform soft charge circuit test.
Compare the output current shown on the LCP
with the frequency converter rated current.
Compare the output current shown on the LCP
with measured motor current.
Display the Thermal Drive Load on the LCP and
monitor the value. When running above the
frequency converter continuous current rating,
the counter should increase. When running below
the frequency converter continuous current
rating, the counter should decrease.
