TROUBLESHOOTING
Display
Possible cause/Suggested solution
Thermistor circuit
The thermistor input has been enabled and:
•
The resistance at the input has fallen below 20
Ω
(the cold
resistance of most thermistors will be over this value) or
•
A short circuit has occurred. Check and resolve this condition.
Related parameters: None
Time-overcurrent
The EMX4e is internally bypassed and has drawn high current
during running. (The 10A protection curve trip has been reached
or the motor current has risen to 600% of the motor FLC setting.)
Related parameters: None
Undercurrent
The motor has experienced a sharp drop in current, caused by
loss of load. Causes can include broken components (shafts,
belts or couplings), or a pump running dry.
Related parameters: 5C, 5D, 6D
VZC Fail Px
Where 'X' is 1, 2 or 3.
Internal fault (PCB fault). Contact your local supplier for advice.
Related parameters: None

General Faults
This table describes situations where the soft starter does not operate as expected
but does not trip or give a warning.
Symptom
Probable Cause
Starter "Not Ready"
•
The reset input may be active. If the reset input is
active, the starter will not operate.
"Simul" on display
•
The starter is running simulation software. This
software is intended for demonstration purposes
only and is not suitable for controlling a motor.
Contact your local supplier for advice.
The soft starter does not
respond to the START or
RESET button on the
keypad.
•
The soft starter will only accept commands from the
keypad if parameter 1A
Command Source
is set to
Remote Keypad. Check that the Local LED on the
starter is on.
