tion if factory settings are used.
First, check whether the mass ratio (Pn103) is set correctly.
If Pn103 is set correctly, increase the value set for polarity detection speed loop gain
(Pn481).
If the load is heavy and the mechanical friction is very large, a large gain will cause an
alarm. The gain cannot be increased under this condition, so reduce the mechanical
friction.
If the mechanical friction cannot be reduced without difficulty and the situation does
not improve even if the gain is reduced, consider using the hall sensor for polarity
detection.
