Workhorse™ Servo Motor Error Codes

ERROR CODE ( WILL SHOW

ON LED DISPL AY )

SOLUTION

“E1”: Operational failure

Machine is locked. Check to see if the machine

is difficult to turn by hand with the Power Plus™

Flywheel. Remove material and attempt to operate,

if it works, material was too heavy for motor.

“E2”: Over current or under voltage

Check the power source to ensure that the motor

voltage matches the outlet voltage.

“E3”: The board cannot read the parameter.

Turn the power off and on twice, and try again. If the

problem still occurs, contact Sailrite

“E4”: Hall signal error

Replace the main fuse. To do this, turn off and

unplug the motor, remove the front external plastic

cover and replace the main fuse with one of the

extras sent with the motor. If the problem continues

to persist, please contact Sailrite.

“E5”: Needle position problem

display will change to “P.”

2. Press the “P” button 2 times and the display will

changes to “n1.”

3. Press the “S” button and the display will change

4. Press the “S” button again and the display will
