4 Troubleshooting
4.1 Alarms and Warnings
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
compressor may still be continued. Warning messages may
be critical.
In the event of an alarm, the frequency converter has
tripped. To restart operation, reset alarms once their cause
has been
rectied.
This may be done in 4 ways:
•
By pressing [Reset].
•
Via a digital input with the Reset function.
•
Via serial communication.
•
By resetting automatically using the [Auto Reset]
function, see parameter 14-20 Reset Mode.
NOTICE
After a manual reset pressing [Reset], press [Auto On] or
[Hand On] to restart the compressor.
If an alarm cannot be reset, the reason may be that its
cause has not been rectied, or the alarm is trip-locked,
see Table 4.1.
CAUTION
Alarms that are trip-locked oer extra 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
may 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!)
Table 4.1 species whether a warning occurs before an
alarm, or whether to show a warning or an alarm for a
given fault.
This is possible, for instance, in parameter 1-90 Motor
Thermal Protection. After an alarm or trip, the compressor
carries on coasting, and the alarm and warning ash on
the frequency converter. Once the problem has been
rectied, only the alarm continues ashing.
