If the converter no longer responds

If the inverter no longer responds
For example, when loading an incorrect file from the memory card, the inverter can go into a
state where it can no longer respond to commands from the operator panel or from a higher-
level control system. In this case, you must reset the inverter to its factory setting and
recommission it. This inverter state is manifested in two different ways:
Case 1
● The motor is switched off.
● You cannot communicate with the inverter, either via the operator panel or other
● The LEDs flicker and after 3 minutes the inverter has still not powered up.
Procedure
Proceed as follows to restore the inverter factory settings:
1. Remove the memory card if one is inserted in the inverter.
2. Switch off the inverter power supply.
3. Wait until all LEDs on the inverter go dark. Then switch on the inverter power supply
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as often as required until the inverter outputs fault F01018:
5. Set p0971 = 1.
6. Switch off the inverter power supply.
7. Wait until all LEDs on the inverter go dark. Then switch on the inverter power supply
8. Recommission the inverter.
You have restored the inverter factory settings.
