VS65 SERIES MV SOFT STARTER
Fault F12 EXCESIV STR
Description Maximum number of starts exceeded.
Sense level Maximum number of starts set at G3.14 START LIMIT during time period set at
G3.15 SRT/INT.
Possible Cause Excessive number of starts/stop during the normal operation. Rotor locked or
motor overloaded during the start so the ramp up couldn't be completed.
Action Check motor and load conditions. Check values of parameters G3.14, G3.15 are
coherent with the application.
Fault F13 MEMORY FLT
Description Fault reading SRAM.
Possible Cause Writing error, faulty memory.
Action Attempt to reinitialise the VS65 (1.5 INITIALISE).
.
Fault F14 SCR1 FAULT
F15 SCR2 FAULT
F16 SCR3 FAULT
F17 SCR_S FLT
Description F14 Thyristor Fault L1, disconnected motor at L1.
F15 Thyristor Fault L2, disconnected motor at L2.
F16 Thyristor Fault L3, disconnected motor at L3.
F17 Thyristors Fault, disconnected motor.
Possible Cause Thyristor fault, motor disconnected, excessive number of starts, excessive
temperature, over voltage.
Action Check motor, cables and fans. Check thyristors and excessive environmental
temperature.
Check input supply voltage.
If the problem persists, call Power Electronics or an authorised distributor.
NOTE: This fault can only be reset via the display unit.
Fault F18 EXCES T LS
Description Not used with this soft starter.
Fault F19 LS DISABLE
Description Slow Speed not allowed.
Possible Cause Slow Speed mode is blocked if one of these 2 options are selected:
No phase sequence (G3.1 Phase Sequence) at the input. You need to
select L1 L2 L3 or L2 L1 L3 sequence.
DC Brake stop selected (G13.1 DC Brake).
Action Set phase sequence at the input. Make sure no DC Brake is selected.
Fault F20 COMS T/OUT
Description Serial communication Time Out exceeded.
Possible Cause No communication from the Master for the time specified at G14.1 CommTime
Out.
RS232/RS485 communication link fault.
Action Check if the Master is trying to communicate to slave at a rate higher than
specified at G14.1 COM TIME O. Check the RS232/RS485 wiring. Check
communication parameters.
Fault F21 EXTRN TRIP
Description An external fault has occurred through a digital input.
Possible Cause There is a digital input activated and set as external fault.
Action Check configuration of digital inputs. Check the status of the digital inputs for
correctness.
