10. Troubleshooting and Fault Diagnostics

10.1. General
Inverter fault detection and early warning / self-diagnosis function. When the inverter detects a fault, a fault
message is displayed on the keypad. The fault contact output energizes and the motor will coast to stop (The
stop method can be selected for specific faults).
When the inverter detects a warning / self-diagnostics error, the digital operator will display a warning or self-di-
agnostic code, the fault output does not energize in this case. Once the warning is removed, the system will
automatically return to its original state.
10.2. Fault Detection Function
When a fault occurs, please refer to Table 10.2.1 for possible causes and take appropriate measures.
Use one of the following methods to restart:
1. Set one of multi-function digital input terminals (03-00, 03-07) to 17 (Fault reset); activate input
2. Press the reset button on the keypad.
3. Power down inverter wait until keypad goes blank and power-up the inverter again.
When a fault occurs, the fault message is stored in the fault history (see group 12 parameters).
LED display
OC
over current
The inverter output current exce-
eds the overcurrent level (200% of
OC
the inverter rated current).
OCA
over current
The inverter output current
exceeds the overcurrent level in
OCA
acceleration time.
OCC
over current
The inverter output current
OCC
exceeds the overcurrent level in
constant speed.
OCd
over current
The inverter output current
exceeds the overcurrent level in
deceleration time.
SC
short circuit
Inverter output short circuit or
SC
ground fault.
GF
The current to ground exceeds
Ground fault
50% of the inverter rated output
GF
current (08-23 = 1, GF function is
enabled).
DC bus voltage exceeds the OV
detection level:
OV
410Vdc: 230V class
Over voltage
820Vdc: 460V class
(For 440V class, if input voltage
OU
01-14 is set lower than 400V,
the OV detection value will is
decreased to 700Vdc).
