4.6 Warning/Alarm Messages

4.6.1 Warning/Alarm Code List

A warning or an alarm is signalled by the LEDs on the front of the frequency converter and by a code on the display.

A warning indicates a condition that may require attention or a trend that may eventually require attention. A warning remains active until the cause is no longer
present. Under some circumstances motor operation may continue.

A trip is the action when an alarm has appeared. The trip removes power to the motor and can be reset after the condition has been cleared by pressing the
[reset] button or through a digital input (parameter E-0#). The event that caused an alarm cannot damage the frequency converter or cause a dangerous condition.
Alarms must be reset to restart operation once their cause has been rectified.

This may be done in three ways:

1.

Pressing the [reset] button on the Keypad.

2.

A digital reset input.

3.

Serial communication/optional network reset signal.

NB!
After a manual reset using the [RESET] button on the Keypad, the [AUTO] button must be pressed to restart the motor.

A trip lock is an action when an alarm occurs which may cause damage to the frequency converter or connected equipment. Power is removed from the motor.
A trip lock can only be reset after the condition is cleared by cycling power. Once the problem has been rectified, only the alarm continues flashing until the
frequency converter is reset.

An X marked in the table below means that action occurs. A warning precedes an alarm.

No.
