4. If the value is correct at the D-to-A board but wrong at the inverter, check the wiring between

the board and the inverter.

5. If the value is correct at both sets of terminals, troubleshoot the inverter.

Troubleshooting the Inverter

5.1.

Verify Inverter Output Frequency

—Use the inverter keypad to display the current

desired frequency. This frequency should correspond to the input voltage according to this

equation:

F

d

 = (V

out

 / 10) * F

max

Where:
F

d

 = Desired frequency

V

out

 = DC voltage output from D-to-A board

F

max

 = Maximum inverter frequency (see Table 1)

When the machine is running normally, the inverter display appears similar to one of the

illustrations in Figure 3.

The specific procedure for viewing the inverter operating parameters varies among inverter

models.

• For Yaskawa F7 models, the actual and desired frequencies and the actual amperage are

visible on the normal operating display.

• For Yaskawa GPD 505 and 506 models, press the 

DSPL

 button on the inverter once to

advance from the 

Desired Frequency

 display to the 

Actual Frequency

 display.

5.2.

Verify Inverter Output Amperage

—Verify the current being delivered to the motor.

Contact the Milnor

®

 Customer Service department for guidelines on the acceptable amperage for

the conditions.

For Yaskawa GPD 505 and 506 models, press the 

DSPL

 button on the inverter once to advance

from the 

Actual Frequency

 display to the 

Actual Amperage

 display.
