    Keypad communications error 
Phenomena  A communications error occurred between the keypad and the inverter. 
Possible Causes  Check and Measures 
(1)  Broken communications cable 
or poor contact. 
Check continuity of the cable, contacts and connections. 
  Re-insert the connector firmly. 
  Replace the cable. 
(2)  Connecting many control wires 
hinders the front cover from 
being mounted, lifting the 
keypad. 
Check the mounting condition of the front cover. 
  Use wires of the recommended size (0.75 mm
2
) for wiring. 
  Change the wiring layout inside the unit so that the front cover can 
be mounted firmly. 
(3)  The inverter was affected by 
strong electrical noise. 
Check if appropriate noise control measures have been implemented 
(e.g., correct grounding and routing of communications cables and main 
circuit wires). 
  Implement noise control measures. For details, refer to Appendix A. 
(4)  A keypad failure occurred.  Replace the keypad with another one and check whether a 
communications error (
er2
 ) occurs. 
  Replace the keypad.

    CPU error 
Phenomena  A CPU error (e.g. erratic CPU operation) occurred. 
Possible Causes  Check and Measures 
(1)  The inverter was affected by 
strong electrical noise. 
Check if appropriate noise control measures have been implemented 
(e.g. correct grounding and routing of signal wires, communications 
cables, and main circuit wires). 
  Implement noise control measures. 
(2)  The [PLC] and [CM] terminals 
have been shorted. 
Check whether the [PLC] and [CM] terminals have been shorted.

    Option communications error 
Phenomena  A communications error occurred between the option card and the inverter. 
Possible Causes  Check and Measures 
(1)  There was a problem with the 
connection between the option 
card and the inverter. 
Check whether the connector on the option card is properly engaged 
with that of the inverter. 
  Reload the option card into the inverter. 
(2)  The inverter was affected by 
strong electrical noise. 
Check whether appropriate noise control measures have been 
implemented (e.g. correct grounding and routing of signal wires, 
communications cables, and main circuit wires). 
  Implement noise control measures.
