5 Error messages
5.1 Introduction
DC1 series variable frequency drives come with several built-in monitoring 
functions. When a deviation from the correct operating status is detected, an 
error message will be displayed; in the inverter’s default settings, the relay 
contact will open (control signal terminals 10 and 11).
5.2 Fault History
The most recent four error messages will be stored in the order in which 
they occurred (with the most recent one in the first place). Error messages 
can be read from parameter P-13.
5.2.1 Acknowledge error message (Reset)
To acknowledge and reset the current error message, you can either 
switch off the supply voltage or press the STOP button. Error messages 
(a maximum of four) are stored in parameter P-13.
Error messages can also be reset with a new start signal (new rising edge) 
at control signal terminal 2 (DI1) or 3 (DI2).
5.2.2 Fault log
The fault log (P-13) stores the most recent four error messages in the order 
in which they occurred. The most recent error message will always be 
shown as the first value when P-13 is accessed. To see the remaining error 
messages one after the other, press the  (Up) button. Their order will be 
indicated by the number of flashing dots on the 7-segment digital display 
assembly.

The values in the fault log (P-13) will not be deleted if the 
variable frequency drive is reset to its default settings!
