What does 'Illegal FC configuration' mean on Danfoss VLT CDS 803 DC Drives?
The message 'Illegal FC configuration' on Danfoss DC Drives indicates that the control card and power card are not matched.
Why Danfoss VLT CDS 803 show '24 V supply low'?
Danfoss DC Drives show '24 V supply low' because the 24 V DC supply may be overloaded.
What causes a 'Mains ph. loss' error in Danfoss VLT CDS 803 DC Drives and how to fix it?
A 'Mains ph. loss' error in Danfoss DC Drives indicates a missing phase on the supply side or too high voltage imbalance. Check the supply voltage and refer to parameter 14-12 Function at Mains Imbalance.
Why Danfoss DC Drives show Short Circuit error?
A short circuit is likely occurring in the compressor or on the compressor terminals.
What does Live zero error mean in Danfoss DC Drives?
The signal on terminal 53 or 54 is less than 50% of the value set in parameter 6-10 Terminal 53 Low Voltage, parameter 6-12 Terminal 53 Low Current, parameter 6-20 Terminal 54 Low Voltage, or parameter 6-22 Terminal 54 Low Current. Also, see parameter group 6-0* Analog I/O Mode.
What does 'Motor ETR over' mean on Danfoss VLT CDS 803 DC Drives?
If your Danfoss DC Drives show 'Motor ETR over,' it means the motor is too hot due to being more than 100% loaded for a long time. Refer to parameter 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection.
What does 'Motor th over' mean on Danfoss VLT CDS 803 DC Drives?
If your Danfoss DC Drives show 'Motor th over', it indicates the thermistor or thermistor connection is disconnected. Refer to parameter 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection.
What does 'External Interlock' mean on Danfoss VLT CDS 803 DC Drives and how to resume normal operation?
The 'External Interlock' message on Danfoss DC Drives means that the external interlock has been activated. To resume normal operation, apply 24 V DC to the terminal programmed for external interlock and reset the drive (via serial communication, digital I/O, or by pressing [Reset] on the LCP).
What does 'Current limit' mean on Danfoss VLT CDS 803?
If your Danfoss DC Drives display the message 'Current limit', it means the current is higher than the value set in parameter 4-18 Current Limit.
How to fix 'Live zero error' on Danfoss VLT CDS 803 DC Drives?
A 'Live zero error' occurs when the signal on terminal 53 or 54 is less than 50% of the value set in parameter 6-10 Terminal 53 Low Voltage, parameter 6-12 Terminal 53 Low Current, parameter 6-20 Terminal 54 Low Voltage, or parameter 6-22 Terminal 54 Low Current. See also parameter group 6-0* Analog I/O Mode.
