 CPU error 
Problem  A CPU error (e.g. erratic CPU operation) occurred. 
Possible Causes  What to Check and Suggested Measures 
(1)  Inverter 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). 
Î Implement noise control measures.

 Option communications error 
Problem  A communications error occurred between the option card and the inverter. 
Possible Causes  What to Check and Suggested 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. 
Î  Reload the option card into the inverter. 
(2)  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).  
Î Implement noise control measures.

 Operation protection 
Problem  An incorrect operation was attempted. 
Possible Causes  What to Check and Suggested Measures 
(1) The   key was pressed when 
H96 = 1 or 3. 
Check that the   key was pressed when a run command had been entered from the 
input terminal or through the communications port. 
Î  If this was not intended, check the setting of H96. 
(2)  The start check function was 
activated when H96 = 2 or 3. 
Check that any of the following operations has been performed with a run command 
being entered. 
-  Turning the power ON 
- Releasing the alarm 
-  Switching the enable communications link LE operation 
Î  Review the running sequence to avoid input of a Run command when this error 
occurs. 
  If this was not intended, check the setting of H96. 
  (Turn the run command OFF before releasing the alarm.) 
(3)  The forced stop digital input 
STOP was turned OFF. 
Check that turning the STOP OFF decelerated the inverter to stop. 
Î  If this was not intended, check the settings of E01 through E07 for terminals 
[X1] through [X7].

 Tuning error 
Problem Auto-tuning failed. 
Possible Causes  What to Check and Suggested Measures 
(1)  A phase was missing (There 
was a phase loss) in the 
connection between the 
inverter and the motor. 
Î  Properly connect the motor to the inverter. 
(2)  V/f or the rated current of the 
motor was not properly set. 
Check whether the data of function codes (F04*, F05*, H50 through H53, H65, 
H66, P02*, and P03*) matches the motor specifications. 
(3)  The wiring length between the 
inverter and the motor was too 
long. 
Check whether the wiring length between the inverter and the motor exceeds 50 m.
(Small capacity inverters are greatly affected by the wiring length.) 
Î  Review, and if necessary, change the layout of the inverter and the motor to 
shorten the connection wire. Alternatively, minimize the wiring length without 
changing the layout. 
Î  Disable both auto-tuning and auto-torque boost (set data of F37* to "1").
