    Why is my CG emotron TSA showing 'Over temp'?
    • M
      mcmahoncrystalAug 20, 2025
      If the CG Controller displays 'Over temp', it indicates the heatsink temperature is too high, possibly due to high ambient temperature, insufficient cooling, excessive current, or blocked fans. Ensure proper cooling of the softstarter cabinet, verify the functionality of the built-in fans (if applicable), check the softstarter and motor ratings, and clean the fans.

    What to do if CG Controller shows 'M Phase loss'?
    • J
      Jason LittleAug 22, 2025
      If the CG Controller shows 'M Phase loss', it means that 2 or 3 phases are lost in the mains supply voltage. Check the fuses and the mains supply to resolve this issue.

    Why does my CG emotron TSA display 'Phase loss'?
    • K
      Kayla Anderson DDSAug 25, 2025
      If the CG Controller displays 'Phase loss', it indicates a single phase loss, possibly due to a broken fuse. Check the fuses and the mains supply, and ensure that the terminal screws are tightened.

    What causes 'Under voltage' on my CG emotron TSA Controller?
    • S
      Sandra RussellAug 27, 2025
      If the CG Controller displays 'Under voltage', it means the 3-phase mains supply voltage is too low, possibly due to a mains voltage dip. Ensure all three phases are properly connected and that the terminal screws are tightened. Verify that the 3-phase mains supply voltage is within the limits set in menu group [433]. If the dip is caused by other machinery, use other mains supply lines.

      Travis HintonAug 28, 2025
      If the CG Controller displays 'Over voltage', it indicates that the 3-phase mains supply voltage is too high. Check the 3-phase main supply voltage. Remove the interference cause or use other main supply lines.

    What does 'Motor I2t (Area D: I2t)' mean on my CG emotron TSA Controller?
    • T
      Thomas LynchAug 29, 2025
      If the CG Controller shows 'Motor I2t (Area D: I2t)', it means the I2t value has been exceeded, indicating an overload on the motor. Check for mechanical overload on the motor or machinery (bearings, gearboxes, chains, belts, etc.). Change the Motor I2t Current setting in menu [2312]. Check setting of menu [228] Motor Vent, which affects I2t behaviour.

    What does 'Locked rotor' mean on my CG emotron TSA?
    • K
      Kimberly ByrdSep 1, 2025
      If the CG Controller displays 'Locked rotor', it means there is a torque limit at motor standstill, indicating a mechanical blocking of the rotor. Check for mechanical problems at the motor or the machinery connected to the motor. Set [4221] Locked rotor alarm to “No action”. Adjust Locked Rotor time [4222] and Locked Rotor Current [4223].

    What does 'Curr limit' mean on my CG emotron TSA Controller?
    • K
      Kevin KingSep 2, 2025
      If the CG Controller displays 'Curr limit', it means the current limit parameters might not be matched to the load and motor. Increase the start time (menu [336]) and/or the current limit at start (menu [335]).

    How to fix 'Comm error' on CG emotron TSA Controller?
    • S
      Susan HughesSep 4, 2025
      If the CG Controller displays 'Comm error', it indicates an error on serial communication/ Fieldbus (option). Check cables and connection of the serial communication. Check all settings with regard to the communication. Restart the equipment including the softstarter.

    How to resolve 'Phase rev' on CG emotron TSA Controller?
    • D
      dbryantSep 6, 2025
      If the CG Controller displays 'Phase rev', it means there is an incorrect phase sequence on the 3-phase main supply. Swap L2 and L3 input phases. Check setting of menu [4342] Allowed Sequence.
