A.4.4 Troubleshooting
Fault Possible cause Solution
Motor does not run, the brake fault alarm is 
triggered continuously
Feedback signals disconnected/incorrectly 
connected
Re-check brake feedback signal wiring and 
electric levels
Brake feedback not configured correctly Check PAR 11236 Brake fbk src, PAR 11252 
Brake fbk A3 sel configuration. Check correct 
signal operation (electric levels) and invert 
digital inputs if necessary
Monitoring time too short in relation to system 
response times
Set a longer PAR 11206 Brake Hold Off time
The motor runs even with the feedback 
signals disconnected
The brake fault alarm is not connected. Check the setting of PAR 11252 Brake Fbk 
Sel A3.
Incorrect PAR 11252 Brake fbk A3 sel / PAR 
11236 Brake fbk src setting.
PAR 11252 Brake fbk A3 sel and PAR 11236 
Brake fbk src must not be set to Null or
