Troubleshooting and 
Fault Diagnostics 
4.1 General  
Inverter fault detection and early warning / 
self-diagnosis function. When the inverter 
detects a fault, a fault message is displayed 
on the keypad. The fault contact output 
energizes and the motor will coast to stop 
(The stop method can be selected for 
specific faults). 
 
When the inverter detects a warning / self-
diagnostics error, the digital operator will 
display a warning or self-diagnostic code, 
the fault output does not energize in this 
case. Once the warning is removed, the 
system will automatically return to its original 
state. 
4.2 Fault Detection Function 
When a fault occurs, please refer to Table 
4.1 for possible causes and take appropriate 
measures.  
 
Use one of the following methods to restart: 
1. Set one of multi-function digital input 
terminals (03-00, 03-05) to 17 (Fault reset); 
activate input 
2. Press the reset button on the keypad and 
clear fault message. 
3. Power down inverter wait until keypad 
goes blank and power-up the inverter again. 
 
When a fault occurs, the fault message is 
stored in the fault history (see group 12 
parameters).

OV 
Over voltage 
  Increase deceleration time 
  Reduce input voltage to 
comply with the input voltage 
requirements or install an AC 
line reactor to lower the input 
voltage. 
  Remove the power factor 
correction capacitor. 
  Use dynamic braking unit. 
  Replace braking transistor or 
resistor. 
  Adjust speed search 
parameters. 
 
UV 
Under voltage
  Check the input voltage. 
  Check input wiring. 
  Check power source 
  Replace pre-charge 
contactor 
  Replace control board or 
complete inverter. 
 
IPL 
input phase loss
  Check if the main wiring 
connection is correct.
 
 
Check if the terminal screw 
gets loose. 
 
Make sure having stable 
input voltage or turn off IPL 
detection function.
 
 
Replace the circuit board or 
inverter
 
 
OPL  
output phase 
loss 
  Check output wiring / faster 
screws. 
  Check motor & inverter 
rating.
