Minor Faults and
Alarms
When the drive detects an alarm or a minor fault:

• The drive continues running the motor, although some alarms allow the user to select a stopping method when the alarm
occurs.
• A multi-function contact output set to be tripped by a minor fault (H2-
oo
= 10) closes. If the output is set to be tripped
by an alarm, the contact will not close.
• The HOA keypad displays text indicating a specific alarm and the ALM indicator LED flashes.
Remove the cause of the problem to reset a minor fault or alarm.

the error.

• The HOA keypad displays text indicating the specific error.
• Multi-function contact outputs do not operate.

• Multi-function contact outputs do not operate.
Pressing any key on the HOA keypad will clear the fault. Investigate the cause of the problem (such as model incompatibility)
and try again.
