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
(This may only be performed when a fault occurs.)
• Switch power OFF once, then switch it ON again.
• Turn ON the reset signal (RES) for 0.1 s or more. (If the RES signal
is kept ON, "Err" appears (flickers) 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 does not trip.
The inverter does not trip even when a warning is displayed. However, failure to take appropriate
measures will lead to a fault.
The inverter does not trip. An Alarm (LF) signal can also be output with a parameter setting.
A protective function is activated to trip the inverter and output a Fault (ALM) signal.
