Inverter fault and indications
4.1
Inverter fault and indications
• When a fault occurs in the inverter, a protective function is automatically activated to shut off the inverter output and show
an indication on the operation panel of the inverter.
• When any fault occurs, take an appropriate corrective action, then reset the inverter, and resume the operation. Restarting
the operation without a reset may break or damage the inverter.
• When a protective function is activated, note the following points.

NOTE
• For the details of fault displays and other malfunctions, refer to the Instruction Manual (Detailed) of the FR-F860.
• The past eight faults can be displayed on the operation panel. (Fault history) (For the operation, refer to the operation panel
or the parameter unit Instruction Manual.)
4.2
Reset method for the protective functions
Reset the inverter by performing any of the following operations. Note that the accumulated heat value of the electronic
thermal relay function and the number of retries are cleared (erased) by resetting the inverter.
The inverter recovers about 1 s after the reset is released.
• On the operation panel, press the STOP/RESET key to reset the
inverter.
(This may only be performed when a fault occurs.)
• Switch power OFF once, then switch it ON again.
• Turn ON the Inverter reset (RES) signal for 0.1 s or more. (If the
RES signal is kept ON, "Err" appears (blinks) to indicate that the
inverter is in a reset status.)
NOTE
• OFF status of the start signal must be confirmed before resetting the inverter fault. Resetting an inverter fault with the start
signal ON restarts the motor suddenly.

PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS
Opening the magnetic contactor (MC) provided on the input side of the inverter at a fault occurrence
shuts off the control power to the inverter, therefore, the fault output will not be retained.
When a protective function is activated, the operation panel displays a fault indication.
While a protective function is activated, the inverter output is kept shutoff. Reset the inverter to restart
the operation.
A message regarding an operational fault and setting fault by the operation panel and parameter unit
is displayed. The inverter output is not shut off.
The inverter output is not shut off even when a warning is displayed. However, failure to take
appropriate measures will lead to a fault.
The inverter output is not shut off. An Alarm (LF) signal can also be output with a parameter setting.
A protective function is activated to shut off the inverter output and output a Fault (ALM) signal.
