4.1.4 Fault Messages
The warning/alarm information below defines the warning/
alarm condition, provides the probable cause for the
condition, and details a remedy or troubleshooting
procedure.
WARNING 1, 10 volts low
The control card voltage is below 10 V from terminal 50.
Remove some of the load from terminal 50, as the 10 V
supply is overloaded. Max. 15 mA or minimum 590
Ω
.
This condition can be caused by a short in a connected
potentiometer or improper wiring of the potentiometer.
Troubleshooting
Remove the wiring from terminal 50. If the warning clears,
the problem is with the customer wiring. If the warning does
not clear, replace the control card.
WARNING/ALARM 2, Live zero error
This warning or alarm will only appear if programmed by the
user in
6-01 Live Zero Timeout Function
. The signal on one of
the analog inputs is less than 50% of the minimum value
programmed for that input. This condition can be caused by
broken wiring or faulty device sending the signal.
Troubleshooting
Check connections on all the analog input
terminals. Control card terminals 53 and 54 for
signals, terminal 55 common. MCB 101 terminals
11 and 12 for signals, terminal 10 common. MCB
109 terminals 1, 3, 5 for signals, terminals 2, 4, 6
common).
Check that the frequency converter programming
and switch settings match the analog signal type.
Perform Input Terminal Signal Test.
WARNING/ALARM 4, Mains phase loss
A phase is missing on the supply side, or the mains voltage
imbalance is too high. This message also appears for a fault
in the input rectifier on the frequency converter. Options are
programmed at
14-12 Function at Mains Imbalance
Troubleshooting
Check the supply voltage and supply currents to the
frequency converter.
WARNING 5, DC link voltage high
The intermediate circuit voltage (DC) is higher than the high
voltage warning limit. The limit is dependent on the
frequency converter voltage rating. The frequency converter
is still active.
WARNING 6, DC link voltage low
The intermediate circuit voltage (DC) is lower than the low
voltage warning limit. The limit is dependent on the
frequency converter voltage rating. The frequency converter
is still active.
WARNING/ALARM 7, DC overvoltage
If the intermediate circuit voltage exceeds the limit, the
frequency converter trips after a time.
Troubleshooting
Connect a brake resistor
Extend the ramp time
Change the ramp type
Activate functions in
Increase
14-26 Trip Delay at Inverter Fault
WARNING/ALARM 8, DC under voltage
If the intermediate circuit voltage (DC) drops below the
under voltage limit, the frequency converter checks if a 24
VDC backup supply is connected. If no 24 VDC backup
supply is connected, the frequency converter trips after a
fixed time delay. The time delay varies with unit size.
Troubleshooting
Check that the supply voltage matches the
frequency converter voltage.
Perform Input voltage test
Perform soft charge and rectifier circuit test
WARNING/ALARM 9, Inverter overloaded
The frequency converter is about to cut out because of an
overload (too high current for too long). The counter for
electronic, thermal inverter protection gives a warning at
98% and trips at 100%, while giving an alarm. The frequency
converter
cannot
be reset until the counter is below 90%.
The fault is that the frequency converter is overloaded by
more than 100% for too long.
Troubleshooting
Compare the output current shown on the LCP
with the frequency converter rated current.
Compare the output current shown on the LCP
with measured motor current.
Display the Thermal Drive Load on the LCP and
monitor the value. When running above the
frequency converter continuous current rating, the
counter should increase. When running below the
frequency converter continuous current rating, the
counter should decrease.
See the derating section in the
Design Guide
for more details
if a high switching frequency is required.
WARNING/ALARM 10, Motor overload temperature
According to the electronic thermal protection (ETR), the
motor is too hot. Select whether the frequency converter
gives a warning or an alarm when the counter reaches 100%
in
. The fault occurs when the
motor is overloaded by more than 100% for too long.
Troubleshooting
Check for motor overheating.
Check if the motor is mechanically overloaded
Check that the motor current set in
is correct.
