How to clear a fault on Saftronics HPVFE?
To resolve a faulted Saftronics DC Drive: * Clear the fault. You can do this by pressing the Stop button, cycling the power, and setting parameter A450 [Fault Clear] to option 1, which is “Clear Faults”. * If parameter t201 - t202 [Digital Inx Select] is set to option 7 “Clear Fault”, you can also clear the fault by cycling the digital input.
What to do if Saftronics DC Drives does not start from the Integral Keypad?
If the Saftronics DC Drive does not start from the integral keypad, here's what you should do: * **Keypad not enabled**: Set parameter P106 [Start Source] to option 0 “Keypad”. Also, set parameter t201 - t202 [Digital Inx Select] to option 5 “Local” and activate the input. * **Incorrect wiring**: Ensure that I/O Terminal 01 “Stop” input is correctly wired and/or install a jumper.
Why does my Saftronics HPVFE DC Drives motor not start?
If the Saftronics DC Drive motor doesn't start, check for these potential causes: * **No output voltage to the motor**: Inspect the power circuit, supply voltage, fuses, disconnects, and the motor itself. Ensure the motor is properly connected. Verify the presence of a Start signal and, if using 2-Wire control, confirm that either the Run Forward or Run Reverse signal is active (but not both). Check if I/O Terminal 01 is active. Ensure that P106 [Start Source] matches your configuration and that A434 [Reverse Disable] isn't preventing movement. * **Improper boost setting**: Set A453 [Boost Select] to option 2 “35.0, VT”. * **Fault**: Clear the fault by pressing Stop, cycling power, and setting A450 [Fault Clear] to option 1 “Clear Faults”. Alternatively, cycle the digital input if t...
