Status  Checking point  Remedy 
Motor runs in 
wrong 
direction 
Is the wiring for the output terminals 
correct? 
Wiring must match U, V, and W terminals of the 
motor. 
Is the wiring for forward and reverse 
signals correct? 
Check for correct wiring. 
The motor 
speed can not 
be regulated. 
Is the wiring for the analog frequency 
inputs correct? 
Check for correct wiring. 
Is the setting of operation mode 
correct? 
Check the Frequency Source set in parameters 
00-05/00-06. 
Is the load too excessive?  Reduce the load. 
Motor running 
speed too 
high or too 
low 
Check the motor specifications 
(poles, voltage…) correct? 
Confirm the motor specifications. 
Is the gear ratio correct?  Confirm the gear ratio. 
Is the setting of the highest output 
frequency correct? 
Confirm the highest output frequency 
Motor speed 
varies 
unusually 
Is the load too excessive?  Reduce the load. 
Does the load vary excessively? 
1.Minimize the variation of the load. 
2.Consider increasing the capacities of the inverter 
and the motor. 
Is the input power unstable or is 
there a phase loss ? 
1.Consider adding an AC reactor at the power input 
side if using single-phase power. 
2.Check wiring if using three-phase power 
Motor can not 
run 
Is the power connected to the correct 
L1, L2, and L3 terminals? 
is the charging indicator lit ? 
1.Is the power applied?            
2.Turn the power OFF and then ON again. 
3.Make sure the power voltage is correct.            
4.Make sure screws are secured firmly. 
Is there voltage across the output 
terminals T1, T2, and T3? 
Turn the power OFF and then ON again. 
Is overload causing the motor to 
stall? 
Reduce the load so the motor will run. 
Are there any abnormalities in the 
inverter? 
See error descriptions to check wiring and correct if 
necessary. 
Is there a forward or reverse run 
command ? 
Has the analog frequency signal 
been input? 
1.Is analog frequency input signal wiring correct?   
2.Is voltage of frequency input correct? 
Is the operation mode setting 
correct? 
Operate through the digital keypad
