6 Troubleshooting
When the connector cable is attached, the outputs at the frequency con-
verter are not free of voltage.
Before you start searching for the source of the problem, you should carry
out a few simple checks:
Are the electric connections in good working order?
Is the forevacuum pressure sufficient?
After having removed the cause for the error reset the error message at the
frequency converter by applying a STOP signal via the socket CONTROL or
by switching the mains power off.
