Warnings and Alarms

10.4 Warning and Alarm Definitions

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.
A short circuit in a connected potentiometer or improper
wiring of the potentiometer can cause this condition.
Troubleshooting
Remove the wiring from terminal 50. If the
warning clears, the problem is with the 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 in
AN-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 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. OPCGPIO terminals
11 and 12 for signals, terminal 10 common.
OPCAIO 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 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 SP-12 Function at Line
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.
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 back-up supply is connected. If no 24 V DC back-
up 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 issues 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 has run with
more than 100% overload for too long.
Troubleshooting
DET-768b
Extend the ramp time
Change the ramp type
Activate the functions in B-10 Brake Function
Increase SP-26 Trip Delay at Drive Fault
If the alarm/warning occurs during a power sag,
use kinetic back-up (SP-10 Line failure)
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
keypad with the frequency converter rated
current.
Compare the output current shown on the
keypad with measured motor current.
Display the Thermal Drive Load on the keypad
and monitor the value. When running above the
frequency converter continuous current rating,
the counter increases. When running below the
frequency converter continuous current rating,
the counter decreases.
