7.1.1 Warnings/Alarm Messages
A warning or an alarm is signaled by the relevant LED on
the front of the frequency converter and indicated by a
code on the display.
A warning remains active until its cause is no longer
present. Under certain circumstances, operation of the
motor may still be continued. Warning messages may be
critical, but are not necessarily so.
In the event of an alarm, the frequency converter trips.
Reset the alarm to resume operation once the cause has
been rectied.
Three ways to reset:
•
Press [Reset].
•
Via a digital input with the “Reset” function.
•
Via serial communication/optional eldbus.
NOTICE!
After a manual reset pressing [Reset], press [Auto On] to
restart the motor.
If an alarm cannot be reset, the reason may be that its
cause has not been rectied, or the alarm is trip-locked
(see also Table 7.1).
Alarms that are trip-locked oer additional protection,
meaning that the mains supply must be switched o
before the alarm can be reset. After being switched back
on, the frequency converter is no longer blocked and can
be reset as described above once the cause has been
rectied.
Alarms that are not trip-locked can also be reset using the
automatic reset function in parameter 14-20 Reset Mode
(Warning: automatic wake-up is possible!)
If a warning or alarm is marked against a code in Table 7.1,
this means that either a warning occurs before an alarm, or
else that it is possible to specify whether a warning or an
alarm should be displayed for a given fault.
This is possible, for instance, in parameter 1-90 Motor
Thermal Protection. After an alarm or trip, the motor carries
on coasting, and the alarm and warning ash. Once the
problem has been rectied, only the alarm continues
ashing until the frequency converter is reset.
NOTICE!
No missing motor phase detection (numbers 30-32) and
no stall detection is active when parameter 1-10 Motor
Construction is set to [1] PM non salient SPM.
