triggered while the PID 
feedback falls below the 
level set to b5-12 for 
longer than the time set 
to b5-13.   
malfunction   
4. Incorrect feedback input 
circuit   
4. Contact the local distributor to 
replace the board or the drive.   
Heatsink Overheat 
 
Heatsink temperature 
over 90 to 100°C   
(Overheat level is 
determined by rating of 
the drive) 
1. Ambient temperature is 
too high 
2. Internal cooling fan 
stopped operating 
3. Bad air flow due to 
insufficient room.   
1.Check the temperature 
surrounding the drive 
a. Improve the air flow inside the 
enclosure panel 
b. Install an air conditioner or fan 
to cool the environment   
c. Remove any possible source of 
heat   
2. Measure the output current 
a. Reduce the load 
b. Lower setting in C6-00   
( Carrier Frequency Option )   
3.Replace the cooling fan 
Motor Overheat 
 
The temperature signal 
from motor temperature 
sensor via the terminal 
MT exceeded the 
overheat detection level 
of the drive. 
1. Incorrect motor 
temperature input 
(terminal MT) wiring 
2. Fault on the machinery 
(e.g., machinery is locked 
up) 
3. Motor overheat 
1. Correct the wiring for terminal 
MT. 
2. Check the machinery status 
3. Check the load, acceleration / 
deceleration time and cycle time 
a. Reduce the load.   
b. Increase the C1-00 to C1-07 
(Acc./Dec. Time) settings   
c. Adjust d1-02 to d1-11 (V/F 
Characteristics)   
Overtorque Detection 1 
 
The current has 
exceeded the torque 
level set to P6-01 for 
longer than the time set 
to P6-02 
1. Incorrect parameter 
settings     
2. Malfunction on 
machinery 
1. Reset P6-01 and P6-02 
2. Check machinery and load 
status 
Overvoltage   
 
Voltage in the DC bus 
exceeded the 
overvoltage detection 
level 
1. Drive input power has 
surge voltage entering 
2. Machinery output short 
circuit 
3. Ground fault in the 
output circuit causes the 
1. Install a DC link choke 
Voltage surge can result from a 
thyristor convertor and phase 
advancing capacitor using the 
same input power supply 
2. Check the motor power cable,
