Translation of the original operating instructions
Impeller not
running smoothly
Imbalance in rotating
parts
Clean the device;
replace it if imbalance
persists after cleaning.
Make sure no
weight clips are
removed during
cleaning.
Motor not turning
Mechanical blockage
Switch off, isolate
from supply and
remove mechanical
blockage.
Line voltage faulty
Check line voltage,
restore power supply.
Attention! The error
message resets
automatically.
Device restarts
automatically without
warning.
Faulty connection
Isolate from supply,
correct connection;
see connection
diagram.
Broken motor winding Replace device
Inadequate cooling
Improve cooling.
Allow the device to
cool down.
Ambient temperature
too high
Reduce the ambient
temperature. Allow
the device to cool
down.
Impermissible
operating point (e.g.
back pressure too
high)
Correct the operating
point. Allow the
device to cool down.
In the event of further malfunctions, contact ebm-papst.
6.1 Warning/status codes
The LED on the electronics housing shows the motor status with various
colors and flash codes. The flash codes have a frequency of 2 Hz.
Each flash code is followed by a pause lasting 3 seconds. The following
colors are used: Green: no warning or fault. Orange: There is a warning.
No user intervention is required for warnings. Red: There is at least one
error. See the following table. If there are multiple simultaneous errors,
their associated flash codes are displayed in succession. If there are
simultaneous warnings and errors, only the errors are displayed.
