Code Fault and Fault Action Possible Causes Set and Clear Conditions
3,9
Main Contactor Did Not Close
ShutdownMotor
ShutdownMainContactor
ShutdownEMBrake
ShutdownThrottle
• The main contactor tips are oxidized,
burnt, or not making good contact.
• An external load on the capacitor bank
(B+ connection terminal) is preventing
the capacitor bank from charging.
• Blown B+ fuse.
• The Pull In Voltage and Holding Voltage
parameters are incorrectly congured.
See Main Relay Menu on page 37.
• The main contactor opened even though
the controller commanded the contactor
to close.
• The wiring to the contactor’s coil was
removed.
• The coil is defective.
Set: The capacitor bank voltage
(B+ connection terminal) did not
charge to B+ when the main
contactor was commanded to be
closed.
Clear: Address the possible
causes, then cycle the keyswitch.
3,10
Throttle Input
ShutdownThrottle
• The throttle’s input voltage is outside
the voltage range of the throttle’s analog
input.
• The Analog 1 Type parameter is
incorrectly congured.
Set: The throttle input voltage
is outside the range dened by
the analog input’s Low and High
parameters.
Clear: Address the possible
causes, then cycle the keyswitch.
4,3
NV Memory Failure
ShutdownMotor
ShutdownMainContactor
ShutdownEMBrake
ShutdownThrottle
ShutdownInterlock
ShutdownDriver1
ShutdownDriver2
ShutdownDriver3
• Failure to read or write to nonvolatile (NV)
memory.
• Internal controller fault.
Set: The controller’s operating
system was not able to read or
write to EEPROM memory.
Clear: Download the correct
rmware and default parameter
settings, then cycle the keyswitch.
4,4
HPD/Sequencing Fault
ShutdownThrottle
• The keyswitch, interlock, direction, and
throttle switches were not applied in the
correct order.
• Faulty wiring, crimps, or switches for the
keyswitch, interlock, direction switches,
or throttle.
• Moisture in the keyswitch, interlock,
direction switches, or throttle.
Set: The controller detected that
the keyswitch, interlock, direction,
and throttle switches were not
cycled in the correct order after an
HPD action.
Clear: Cycle the switches in
the correct order as described
in Understanding the HPD/SRO
Function on page 36.
If that doesn’t clear the fault, check
the wiring and for moisture, then
cycle the switches in the correct
order.
