OLED Message 
Description
Corrective Action
Under 
voltage
07 Under voltage on DC 
bus
This occurs routinely when power is switched off. 
If it occurs during running, check the incoming supply voltage, and all 
connections into the drive, fuses, contactors etc.
Over 
temperature 
trip
08 Heatsink over 
temperature
The heatsink temperature can be displayed in P0-21.
A historical log is stored at 30 second intervals prior to a trip in parameter P0-38.
Check the drive ambient temperature.
Ensure the drive internal cooling fan is operating.
Ensure that the required space around the drive as shown in sections 
Mechanical Dimensions and Weight on page 15 to Guidelines for Mounting 
(IP66 Units) on page 21 has been observed, and that the cooling airow 
path to and from the drive is not restricted.
Reduce the effective switching frequency setting in parameter P2-24.
Reduce the load on the motor / drive.
Under 
temperature 
trip
09 Under temperature Trip occurs when ambient temperature is less than -10°C.  The temperature 
must be raised over -10°C in order to start the drive.
Load default 
parameters
10 Factory Default 
parameters have been 
loaded
Press STOP key, the drive is now ready to be congured for the required 
application.
External trip 11 External trip E-trip requested on control input terminals. Some settings of P1-13 require 
a normally closed contact to provide an external means of tripping the drive 
in the event that an external device develops a fault. If a motor thermistor is 
connected check if the motor is too hot.
Optibus serial 
comms fault
12 Communications Fault Communications lost with PC or remote keypad. Check the cables and 
connections to external devices.
Excessive dc 
bus ripple
13 Excessive DC ripple The DC Bus Ripple Voltage level can be displayed in parameter P0-16.
A historical log is stored at 20 ms  intervals prior to a trip in parameter P0-37.
Check all three supply phases are present and within the 3% supply voltage 
level imbalance tolerance.
Reduce the motor load.
If the fault persists, contact your local Emerson Sales Partner.
Input phase 
loss
14 Input phase loss Drive intended for use with a 3 phase supply, one input phase has been 
disconnected or lost.
Hardware 
over current
15 Instantaneous over 
current on drive output
Refer to fault 3 above.
Thermistor 
fault
16 Faulty thermistor on 
heatsink
Refer to your Emerson Sales Partner.
I/o processor 
data error
17 Internal memory fault Parameters not saved, defaults reloaded.
Try again. If problem recurs, refer to your IDL Authorised Distributor.
4-20ma 
signal out of 
range
18 4-20 mA Signal Lost The reference signal on Analog Input 1 or 2 (Terminals 6 or 10) has dropped 
below the minimum threshold of 3 mA. Check the signal source and wiring to 
the PACMotion VFD terminals.
M/c 
processor 
data error
19 Internal memory fault Parameters not saved, defaults reloaded.
Try again. If problem recurs, refer to your IDL Authorised Distributor.

Motor ptc 
over heat
21 Motor PTC Over 
Temperature
The connected motor PTC device has caused the drive to trip.
Cooling fan 
fault
22 Cooling Fan Fault Check and if necessary, replace the drive internal cooling fan.
