StoP
No Fault
Displayed in P0-13 if no faults are recorded in the log
03 Over current trip
Instantaneous over current
on drive output.
Fault Occurs on Drive Enable
Check the motor and motor connection cable for phase – phase and
phase – earth short circuits.
Check the load mechanically for a jam, blockage or stalled condition
Ensure the motor nameplate parameters are correctly in P1-07, P1-
08, P1-09.
Reduced Boost voltage setting in P1-11. Increase ramp up in P1-03.
If the connected motor has a holding brake, ensure the brake is
correctly connected and controlled, and is releasing correctly
04 Over load trip
Drive has tripped on
overload after delivering
>100% of value in P1-08
for a period of time.
Check to see when the decimal points are flashing (drive in
overload) and either increase acceleration rate or reduce the load.
Check that motor cable length < 100 m.
Ensure the motor nameplate parameters are correctly in P1-07, P1-
08, P1-09.
Check the load mechanically to ensure no jams, blockages or other
mechanical faults exist
05 Hardware Over
current
Hardware Enable Circuit
Error (processor Output)
Check the wiring to motor and the motor for phase to phase and
phase to earth short circuits. Disconnect the motor and motor cable
and retest. If the drive trips with no motor connected, it must be
replaced, and the system fully checked and retested before a
replacement unit is installed.
06 Over voltage
Over voltage on DC bus
The value of the DC Bus Voltage can be displayed in P0-20
A historical log is stored at 256ms intervals prior to a trip in
parameter P0-36.
Fault is generally caused by excessive regenerative energy being
transferred from the load back to the drive. Reduce load, decrease
speed or deceleration ramp time P1-04. If PID control, ensure that
ramps are active with P3-11.
07 Under voltage
Under voltage on DC bus
Occurs routinely when power is switched off. If occurs during
running, check the incoming supply voltage, all connections into the
drive, fuses, contactors.
08 Over temperature trip Heatsink over temperature
The heatsink temperature can be displayed in P0-21.
A historical log is stored at 30 sec intervals prior to a trip in P0-38
Check the drive ambient temperature. Ensure the drive internal
cooling fan is operating. Ensure that the required space around the
drive has been observed and that the cooling airflow path to and
from the drive is not restricted.
Reduce the effective switching frequency setting in parameter P2-24.
09 Under temperature
trip
Drive Under temperature
Trip occurs when ambient temperature is less than -10°C. The
temperature must be raised over -10°C in order to start the drive.
10 Load default
parameters
Factory Default parameters
have been loaded
Press STOP key, the drive is now ready to be configured for the
required application.
11 External trip
Digital Input External trip
E-trip requested on control input terminals. Either P1-13 has wrong
setting, or the connected motor thermistor is too hot.
12 Serial comm fault
Communications Fault
Communications lost with PC or remote keypad. Check the cables.
13 Excessive DC ripple
Excessive DC Ripple on
Internal DC bus
The DC Bus Ripple Voltage can be displayed in parameter P0-16.
A historical log is stored at 20ms intervals prior to a trip in
parameter P0-37.
Check that 3-phase supply is present and within the 3% supply
voltage level imbalance tolerance.
14 Input phase loss
Input phase missing trip
One has been disconnected or lost.
15 Instant over current
Instantaneous over current. Overcurrent on motor side. Refer to fault 0-I.
16 Thermistor Fault
Faulty thermistor on heat-
sink.
Refer to your Beijer office.
17 I/O processor data
error
Internal memory fault.
Parameters not saved; factory defaults are reloaded.
18 4-20mA signal out of
range
4-20mA Signal Lost
Reference signal on Analog Input 1 or 2 has dropped below 3mA.
Check the signal source and wiring to the drive terminals.
19 M/C processor error
Internal memory fault.
Parameters not saved; factory defaults are reloaded.
20 User Parameter

User Parameter default has been loaded. Press the Stop key.
21 Motor PTC overheat Motor PTC Over
Temperature
The connected motor PTC device has caused the drive to trip.
22 Cooling Fan Fault
Cooling Fan Fault
Check and if necessary, replace the drive internal cooling fan
