Protective functions (P8)
In parameter conceal P8, you can set the reaction of the frequency 
inverter to external influences and increase the protection to the 
drive system (PDS):
• 0 = deactivated, no reaction
• 1 = Warning (e.g. Warning message AL 50)
• 2 = Error (stop mode after error message based
 on parameters P6.8, e.g. F…50)
The error - (FAULT) and warning messages (ALARM) are described 
in chapter 5.

(P1.3)
P8.1 700 - Set points error (live-zero) 1
Monitors the live zero of the analog inputs AI1 and AI2 if the 
parameters P2.1 and P2.5 are set to 1 (4 mA, 2 V):
• AI1, control signal terminal 2, P2.1
• AI2, control signal terminal 4, P2.5.
A warning or error message (F… 50) is output if the signal drops 
below 3.0 mA or 1.5 V for 5 seconds or 0.5 mA or 0.25 V for 0.5 
seconds. This reaction time can be changed at P8.10.
0 Deactivated
1 Warning (AL 50)
Note: If the setpoint is restored (f 4mA, f 2 V) the drive starts 
up automatically if there is no disconnection by the warning 
message.
2 Error (F… 50 ), stop function according to P6.8.
P8.2 727 - Undervoltage error 2
Under-voltage error in the intermediate circuit because of a low 
mains-side supply voltage, e.g. by connecting 230 V to a 400 V 
device or if a phase drops out .
0 Deactivated
1 Warning (AL 09)
Note: A start signal (START button, rising edge on the control 
terminals) must exist again for restarting.
2 Error (F… 09), stop function according to P6.8
P8.3 703 - Earth-fault monitoring  2
The earth-fault monitoring checks the currents in the motor phases 
and is continually active. It protects the frequency inverter from 
ground faults with high currents.
0 Deactivated
If the monitoring is deactivated, the reaction time is shortened to 
a start signal.
Caution: When the monitoring is deactivated, a ground fault can 
cause damage to the inverter.
1 Warning (AL 03)
2 Error (F… 03), stop function according to P6.8
