5.4.5 Fault Mode
The Fault Mode Display provides information to the operator when a
fault occurs and allows the operator to review fault history. Refer to
Section 7 for details. Fault codes are three-digits in length and are
displayed in alpha characters. The first and second characters (reading
left to right) are the initials for the applicable English-language fault
name. The third or right-most character can be either A, c, or d to
denote when the fault occurred. “A” denotes Acceleration. “c” denotes
Constant speed. “d” denotes Decel.
Example: Figure 5.4.5

This Fault History can only be accessed during a fault condition. While
the active fault number is being displayed, use the Up and Down Arrow
keys to scroll through the Fault History. An additional Fault History
complete with Time and Date stamps is also available for viewing at any
time in F085 through F093.
5.4.5.a Resetting
Faults
Once a fault condition has been corrected, pressing the Reset key
will return the readout to the Status Display mode. To reset faults,
press the
[RESET]
key on the keypad. Alternatively, most faults will
reset upon removal and return of control power. Over Load trips will
NOT be reset in this way unless sufficient time has passed for the
Thermal Register to regain sufficient capacity for a successful
restart (see section 3.1).
5.4.5.b Remote
Reset
Because most trips can be reset by removing control power, remote
reset can be accomplished this way. A NC remote contact (or push-
button) can be placed in the control power supply to A1 or A2 and
opened to facilitate a trip reset. See figure 5.4.5.b for a suggested
connection.
