Indication
E.PTC
FR-PU04 Fault 14
FR-PU07(-01) PTC activated
Name
PTC thermistor operation
Description
Trips when the motor overheat status is detected for 10s or more by the external PTC thermistor input
connected to the terminal AU.
This fault functions when "63" is set in Pr. 184 AU terminal function selection and AU/PTC switchover
switch is set in PTC side. When the initial value (Pr. 184 = "4") is set, this protective function does not
function.
Check point
· Check the connection between the PTC thermistor switch and thermal relay protector.
· Check the motor for operation under overload.
· Is valid setting ( = 63) selected in Pr. 184 AU terminal function selection ? (Refer to page 103, 117.)
Corrective action
Reduce the load weight.

Option Fault
Name
Option fault
Description
· Appears when the AC power supply is connected to the terminal R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 accidentally when
a high power factor converter is connected.
· Appears when the switch for the manufacturer setting of the plug-in option is changed.
· Appears when a communication option is connected while Pr. 296 = "0 or 100".
Check point
· Check that the AC power supply is not connected to the terminal R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 when a high
power factor converter (FR-HC, MT-HC) or power regeneration common converter (FR-CV) is
connected.
· Check if password lock is activated by setting Pr. 296 = "0, 100"
Corrective action
· Check the parameter (Pr. 30) setting and wiring.
· The inverter may be damaged if the AC power supply is connected to the terminal R/L1, S/L2, T/L3
when a high power factor converter is connected. Please contact your sales representative.
· Return the switch for the manufacturer setting of the plug-in option to the initial status. (Refer to
instruction manual of each option)
· To apply the password lock when installing a communication option, set Pr.296 "0,100". (Refer to
page 187).
· If the problem still persists after taking the above measure, please contact your sales representative.

Name
Communication option fault
Description
Stops the inverter output when a communication line fault occurs in the communication option.
Check point
· Check for a wrong option function setting and operation.
· Check that the plug-in option is plugged into the connector securely.
· Check for a break in the communication cable.
· Check that the terminating resistor is fitted properly.
Corrective action
· Check the option function setting, etc.
· Connect the plug-in option securely.
· Check the connection of communication cable.

Fault 2
Name
Option fault
Description
Stops the inverter output when a contact fault is found between the inverter and the plug-in option, or
when the communication option is connected to a connector other than the bottom connector.
Appears when the switch for the manufacturer setting of the plug-in option is changed.
Check point
· Check that the plug-in option is plugged into the connector securely.
(1 and 2 indicate the option connector numbers.)
· Check for excess electrical noises around the inverter.
· Check that the communication option is not fitted to the connector other than the bottom connector.
Corrective action
· Connect the plug-in option securely.
· Take measures against noises if there are devices producing excess electrical noises around the
inverter.
If the problem still persists after taking the above measure, please contact your sales representative
or distributor.
· Fit the communication option to the bottom connector.
· Return the switch position for the manufacturer setting of the plug-in option to the initial status. (Refer
to instruction manual of each option)
