Troubleshooting
Introduction
The following topics are designed to assist in the troubleshooting and 
maintenance of the SMC™ controller. The items mentioned in this section are not 
intended to be all-inclusive and it is expected that these items should be used as 
reference only.
For safety of maintenance personnel as well as others who might be exposed to 
electrical hazards associated with maintenance activities, follow the local safety 
related work practices (i.e., the NFPA 70E, Part II in the United States). 
Maintenance personnel must be trained in the safety practices, procedures, and 
requirements that pertain to their respective job assignments.
Diagnostics Indication
The LED on the front of the product provides limited status information 
regarding the condition of the controller. The conditions are as follows:
• LED Off — No control power or start command given.
• LED On — The device is active with starting, running, or stopping.
• LED Flashes — A fault has been experienced. Refer to table below for 
additional explanation.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Hazardous voltage is present in the motor circuit even when the 150-E 
controller is off. To avoid shock hazard, disconnect the main power 
before working on the controller, motor, and control devices (such as 
Start-Stop push buttons). Procedures that require parts of the 
equipment to be energized during troubleshooting, testing, etc., must 
be performed by properly qualified personnel, using appropriate local 
safety work practices and precautionary measures.
ATTENTION: Disconnect the controller from the motor before 
measuring insulation resistance (IR) of the motor windings. 
Voltages used for insulation resistance testing can cause SCR 
failure. Do not make any measurements on the controller with an IR 
tester (megger).
