This guide is intended as an aid to configure the SCF drive.

NOTE:

 Before installing and operating the SCF drive, please 

read  and  become  familiar  with  the  SCF  Series  installation 
and operation manual.

PI CONTROL WIRING EXAMPLE

Shown below is a wiring diagram for a typical PI control scheme with 
a 2-wire start/stop and 4-20 mA feedback. The PI setpoint is adjusted 
using the 

 and 

 butons on the front of the drive.

- Set Parameter 10 (TB-13A) to Keypad Setpoint (12).
- Set Parameter 61 (PI MODE) to Normal 4-20 mA (02) or 

Reverse 4-20 mA (04) depending on the type of system to be 
controlled.

- Set the other PI parameters as necessary  

(refer to the SCF manual).

DIAGNOSTIC AND DISPLAY MESSAGES

DESCRIPTION

Speed Reference Codes

CP

CONTROL PAD:

 The drive speed is controlled by the 

 and 

 buttons on the front 

of the drive.

EI

EXTERNAL CURRENT:

 The drive speed is controlled by a 4-20 mA signal between 

TB-25 and TB-2.

EU

EXTERNAL VOLTAGE:

 The drive speed is controlled by a 0-10 VDC signal between 

TB-5 and TB-2.

JG

JOG:

 The drive is in Jog mode and the speed is set by preset speed #2 (Parameter 32).

OP

MOP:

 Contacts wired to TB-13B and 13C are used to increase and decrease the drive 

speed.

Pr1

 - 

Pr7

PRESET SPEEDS #1-7:

 The drive speed is set by the selected Preset Speed (Param-

eters 31-37).

Status Indication

br

DC BRAKING:

 The DC braking circuit is activated.

CL

CURRENT LIMIT:

 The output current has exceeded the CURRENT LIMIT setting 

(Parameter 25) and the drive is reducing the output frequency to reduce the output 

current.  If the drive remains in CURRENT LIMIT for too long, it can trip into a CUR-

RENT OVERLOAD fault (PF).

Er

ERROR:

 Invalid data has been entered.

GE

“GE”

 will be displayed if an attempt is made to change the OEM default settings when 

the drive is operating in the OEM mode (see Parameter 48).

LC

FAULT LOCKOUT:

 Failed three restart attempts. Requires a manual reset.

SE

SERIAL:

 The optional remote keypad is active as the user interface instead of the but-

tons on the front of the drive.

SP

START PENDING:

 This is displayed during the 15 second interval between restart 

attempts.

Diagnostic Codes

AF

HIGH TEMPERATURE FAULT:

 Ambient temperature is too high.

CF

CONTROL FAULT:

 A blank EPM, or EPM with corrupted data has been installed.  

Perform a factory reset (Parameter 48).

cF

INCOMPATIBILITY FAULT:

 An EPM with a different parameter version has been 

installed.

dF

DYNAMIC BRAKING FAULT:

 The drive has sensed the dynamic braking resistors are 

overheating.

EF

EXTERNAL FAULT:

 TB-13A and/or TB13C is set as an external fault input and TB-13A 

and/or TB-13C is open with respect to TB-2.

GF

DATA FAULT:

 User data and OEM defaults in the EPM are corrupted.

HF

HIGH DC BUS VOLTAGE FAULT:

 Line voltage is too high; Deceleration rate is too 

fast; Overhauling load.  Fast deceleration and overhauling loads may require dynamic 

braking.

JF

SERIAL FAULT:

 The watchdog timer has timed out, indicating that the serial link has 

been lost.

LF

LOW DC BUS VOLTAGE FAULT:

 Line voltage is too low.

OF

OUTPUT TRANSISTOR FAULT:

 Phase to phase or phase to ground short circuit on 

the output; Failed output transistor; Boost settings are too high; Acceleration rate is 

too fast.

PF

CURRENT OVERLOAD FAULT:

 VFD is undersized for the application; Mechanical 

problem with the driven equipment.

SF

SINGLE-PHASE FAULT:

 Single-phase input power has been applied to a three-phase 

drive.

UF

START FAULT:

 Start command was present when the drive was powered up.  Must 

wait 2 seconds after power-up to apply Start command if START METHOD is set to 

NORMAL.

F1

EPM FAULT:

 The EPM is missing or damaged.

F2

 - 

F9

Fo

INTERNAL FAULTS:

 The control board has sensed a problem.  Consult factory
