DIAGNOSTICS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

The 1207/1207A controllers provide diagnostics information to assist techni-
cians in troubleshooting drive system problems. The diagnostics information can
be obtained in two ways: reading the appropriate display on the programmer or
observing the fault codes issued by the Status LED. The Status LED is located on
top of the controller. On 1207 models, it is under the sliding protective cover.

LED DIAGNOSTICS

During normal operation, with no faults present, the Status LED flashes a single
flash at approximately 1 flash/second. If the controller detects a fault, a 2-digit
fault identification code is flashed continuously until the fault is corrected. For
example, code “3,2”—welded direction contactor—appears as:

¤ ¤ ¤

The codes are listed in Table 1. For suggestions about possible causes of the
various faults, refer to the troubleshooting chart (Table 2).
