Trip lock
A trip lock alarm occurs when a situation arises, which can
result in equipment damage. A trip lock alarm offers more
protection, because the mains supply must be switched off
before the alarm can be reset. After rectification of cause
and power cycling, the frequency converter is no longer
blocked. Reset as described above.

parameter 14-20 Reset Mode. Failure to be prepared for
start can result in personal injury.
