SAFETY FUNCTIONS 
7.1.3  Abnormal state of magnetic bearing (Disturbance) 
CAUTION 
 
When an abnormality/error occurs in the magnetic bearing, check the STP pump. 
If "FAILURE" cannot be released after reset operation, contact Service office. 
When  the  magnetic  bearing  does  not  function  normally  due  to  a  breakage  of  the  STP  connection 
cable, disconnection of connectors or any abnormality/error of the STP control circuit, the rotor lands 
on the touch down bearing and stops. The "FAILURE" LED (red) flashes, and a failure signal is output 
from the "X2 REMOTE" connector. 
 
7.1.4  Excessive vibration (Disturbance) 
When serious vibration or mechanical shock causes the rotor to come in contact with the touch down 
bearing (due to external vibration/impact, intrusion of atmosphere, foreign matter into the STP pump, 
or rotor imbalance), and the state lasts for a certain period of time, the STP pump decelerates and 
stops. 
The "FAILURE" LED (red) flashes, and a failure signal is output from the "X2 REMOTE" connector. 
Note:  When  the  rotor  contacts  the touch  down bearing,  contact  noise and  rotational  noise of  the 
touch down bearing are generated from the STP pump. 
 
7.1.5  Motor driver overload (DRV Overload) 
When the STP pump does not attain the rated speed within approx. 30 minutes after starting or when 
the  ACCELERATION  state  remains  unchanged  during  operation  for  approx.  30  minutes,  the  STP 
pump decelerates and stops. 
The "FAILURE" LED (red) flashes, and a failure signal is output from the "X2 REMOTE" connector. 
 
7.1.6  Overheating inside the STP pump (MOTOR Overheat) 
When the temperature of the motor inside the STP pump is overheated due to an overload, the STP 
pump decelerates and stops.   
The "FAILURE" LED (red) flashes, and a failure signal is output from the "X2 REMOTE" connector. 
 
7.1.7  Overheating inside the control unit (CNT Overheat) 
When the temperature inside the control unit rises due to abnormal cooling water flow rate or water 
temperature, external heat source, or other event, the STP pump decelerates and stops. 
The "FAILURE" LED (red) flashes, and a failure signal is output from the "X2 REMOTE" connector.
