5.4 Identifying Fatal Fault Codes and Recovering

Fatal fault codes are distinguished by the letter F preceding the code. They normally

indicate a malfunction of the microprocessor on the Regulator board. In some cases,

fatal fault codes can be reset and the drive can be re-started. Table 5.3 lists the fatal

fault codes which can be reset. If any other fault code appears on the display, you will

need to replace the Regulator board.

If the fault code FUE appears in error log entry 0, it indicates a fatal fault occurred

before power was lost. Contact Reliance Electric or observe the drive for subsequent

fatal errors before turning off power. Fatal fault codes are lost after power loss.

Table 5.3 – Fatal Fault Codes That Can Be Reset

Code

Fault Description

Fault Cause

Corrective Action

F 3

Encoder power-up

diagnostic error.

Encoder voltage is less than

10 V.

Turn off power to the drive. Disconnect

the encoder wiring from the terminal strip.

Turn power to the drive back on.
If the F 3 error does not occur again, the

problem is in the wiring between the drive

and the encoder.
If the F 3 error does occur again, the

problem is in the Regulator board, which

should be replaced.

F 60

Option port identification

error.

The option board could not

be identified by the regulator.

Check the ribbon cable between the

Regulator board and the option board.
For M/N 50R41xx, 50T41xx, 75R41xx,

75T41xx, and 125R41xx drives, check

the option port jumpers on the option

board.
Refer to the appropriate option board

instruction manual for more information

about the option board.

F 61

Option board power-up

diagnostic failure.

Option board has failed one

or more power-up

diagnostics.

Check the ribbon cable between the

Regulator board and the network option

board. Replace the option board if

necessary.
Refer to the appropriate option board

instruction manual for more information

about the option board.

F 62

or

F 26

Option board runtime

error.

During operation, the option

board watchdog failed or

handshaking with the drive

failed.

If intermittent, check for causes of noise,

for proper grounding, and that outputs

are not exceeding rated current

capacities.
Replace the option board if necessary.

Refer to the appropriate option board

instruction manual for more information

about the option board.
