Polarity Det Flt
Unable to detect the magnetic poles
within the designated time.
Battery voltage is too low.
• Charge the battery.
The output cable is disconnected.
• Check for wiring errors and ensure the output cable is connected properly.
• Correct the wiring.

Pole Detect Flt
An invalid value resulted from Initial
Pole Search.
Note: Reset the fault and try
Initial Pole Search
again.
Brake was released during Initial Pole Search or during power loss.
• Check the brake sequence.
• The brake must remain applied during Initial Pole Search and whenever the
power supply is interrupted.
Initial Pole Search cannot be performed on the monitor being used.
• Use a PG option card that is compatible with both the drive and an absolute
encoder.
Initial Pole Search cannot be performed.
• A non-rotational alignment cannot be performed; perform a rotational
alignment instead.
EF
Up/Down Alarm
Both forward run and reverse run closed
simultaneously for over 0.5 s.
Sequence error.
• Check the forward and reverse command sequence and correct the
problem.
