Adjustment of (8) VR ON and (9) FLOW ADJ Actuation range of the Accelerator may be changed, by adjusting (8) VR ON (Accelerator ON position) and (9) FLOW ADJ (Flow-control) as described above (1) Outline of VR ON (Accelerator ON position) Available range: 0 to 100 Value at the time of factory shipment: 40 Result...
Page 168
(2) Outline of FLOW ADJ (Flow-control) The graph below shows the correlation with triggering ratio: Available range: 1 to 254 Value at the time of factory shipment: 120 Result When this value is increased, the timing of the flow rate (lever) to be maximum point shall become late, against triggering ratio Caution: Due to dispersion of each valve or power transformer, it may miss-function when the value is set to “0”.
Page 169
(3) Adjustment of VR ON (Accelerator ON position) and FLOW ADJ (Flow-control) standard setting The graph below shows the correlation with triggering ratio: Comment: At first, when it is started triggered, only the flow rate (lever actuating ratio) increases. Just before the flow rate (lever actuating ratio) reaches its maximum point, the accelerator is started to be ON.

2.3 TRIP INFORMATION AND REMEDIES 2.3.1 TRIP CAUSES/WARNINGS AND REMEDIES When a problem arises, diagnose it in accordance with the following table. If it is found that replacement of parts is required or the problem cannot be solved by any remedy described in the table, contact your Toshiba dealer.
Page 198
(Continued) Failure Error code Problem Possible cause Remedies code ・The input voltage fluctuates abnormally. ・Insert a suitable input reactor. 000A Over-voltage during acceleration (1) The power supply has a capacity of 200kVA or more. (2) A power factor improvement capacitor is opened or dosed.
Page 199
(Continued) Failure Error code Problem Possible cause Remedies code ・An external thermal trip is input. ・Check the external thermal input. 002E External thermal trip ・ During automatic operation or remote ・Reset the inverter. 0011 Emergency stop operation, a stop command is entered from the operation panel or a remote input device.
Page 200
[ALARM INFORMATION] Each message in the table is displayed to give warning but does not cause the inverter to trip. Error code Problem Possible cause Remedies ・ The ST-CC circuit is opened. ・Close the ST-CC circuit. ST terminal OFF ・The supply voltage between R, S and T is ・Measure the main circuit supply voltage.
Page 201
2.3.2 RESTORING THE INVERTER FROM A TRIP Do not reset the inverter when tripped because of a failure or error before eliminating the cause. Resetting the tripped inverter before eliminating the problem causes it to trip again. The inverter can be restored from a trip by any of the following operations: (1) By turning off the power (Keep the inverter off until the LED turns off.) (2) By means of an external signal (Short circuit between RES and CC on terminal board →...
Page 202
2.3.3 IF THE MOTOR DOES NOT RUN WHILE NO TRIP MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED… If the motor does not run while no trip is displayed, follow these steps to track down the cause. The motor does not run. YES: NO : Is the 7-segment LED extinguished? Supply the power normally.
Page 203
2.3.4 HOW TO DETERMINE THE CAUSES OF OTHER PROBLEMS The following table provides a listing of other problems, their possible causes and remedies. Problems Causes and remedies ・Inverter the phases of the output terminals U, V and W. The motor runs in the wrong direction.
2.4 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE DANGER • The equipment must be inspected every day. If the equipment is not inspected and maintained, error and malfunctions may not be discovered which could lead to accidents. •Before inspection, perform the following steps. (1) Shut off all input power to the inverter.
2.4.2 PERIODICAL INSPECTION Make a periodical inspection at intervals 3 or 6 months depending on the operating conditions. DANGER •Before inspection, perform the following steps. (1) Shut off all input power to the inverter. (2) Wait at least ten minutes and check to make sure that the change lamp is no longer lit. (3) Use a tester that can measure DC voltages (800V DC or more), and check that the voltage to the DC Mandatory main circuits (across PA-PC) does not exceed 45V.
Note: The operation time is helpful for roughly determining the time of replacement. For the replacement of parts, contact your nearest Maeda distributor. For safety’s sake, never replace any part on your own. (Parts replacement alarms can be known by monitor and alarm output, if it is set.) ■...
