Symptom

Possible cause

Test

Solution

Display dark/No function

Missing or open fuses or circuit

breaker tripped

See Pre-startup inspections table

in this manual.

Check the input power source

No power to the LCP

Check the LCP cable for proper

connection or damage

Replace the faulty LCP or

connection cable

Shortcut on control voltage

(terminal 12 or 50) or at control

terminals

Check the 24 V control voltage

supply for terminals 12/13 to 20-

39 or 10 V supply for terminals 50

to 55

Wire the terminals properly

Wrong LCP

Use only LCP #9K651.

Wrong contrast setting

Press [status] + [

]/[

] to adjust

the contrast

Display (LCP) is defective

Test using a different LCP

Replace the faulty LCP or

connection cable

Internal voltage supply fault or

SMPS is defective

Contact supplier

Intermittent display

Overloaded power supply (SMPS)

due to improper control wiring or

fault within the frequency

converter

To rule out a problem in the

control wiring, disconnect all

control wiring by removing the

terminal blocks.

If the display stays lit, then the

problem is in the control wiring.

Check the wiring for shorts or

incorrect connections. If the

display continues to cut out, follow

the procedure for display dark.

Motor not running

Service switch open or missing

motor connection

Check if the motor is connected

and the connection is not

interrupted (by a service switch or

other device)

Connect the motor and check the

service switch

No mains power with 24 V DC

option card

If the display is functioning but no

output, check that mains power is

applied to the frequency converter

Apply mains power to run the unit

LCP Stop

Check if [Off] has been pressed

Press [Auto On] or [Hand On]

(depending on operation mode) to

run the motor

Missing start signal (Standby)

Check 

5–10 Terminal 18 Digital

Input

 for correct setting for

terminal 18 (use default setting)

Apply a valid start signal to start

the motor

Motor coast signal active

(Coasting)

Check 

5–12 Coast inv.

 for correct

setting for terminal 27 (use

default setting)

Apply 24 V on terminal 27 or

program this terminal to No

operation

Wrong reference signal source

Check reference signals: Local,

remote or bus reference? Preset

reference active? Terminal

connection correct? Scaling of

terminals correct? Reference

signal available?

Program correct settings. Check 

3–

13 Reference Site

. Set preset

reference active in parameter

group 

3–1* References

. Check for

correct wiring. Check scaling or

terminals. Check reference signal.
