Fault Mode
The TE Series will automatically enter the Fault Mode when a fault occurs in the motor or starter and display
a code indicating the condition that caused a shutdown. Fault codes are three-digits in length and are
displayed in alpha characters. The first and second characters (reading left to right) are the initials for the
applicable English-language fault name. The third or right-most character can be either A, c, or d to denote
when the fault occurred: “A” denotes Acceleration, “c” denotes Constant speed, and “d” denotes Decel or
Stopped.
A Fault History of the past 3 events is stored and can be accessed by using the Up or Down Arrow keys
before
pressing the Reset button. The first (newest) event is indicated by the decimal point in the lower right
corner. A more detailed history with time and date stamps is also kept in Functions 85 through 93.
Fault Codes:
Basic common fault codes are shown in the chart below. For additional details refer to Chapter 7 of the
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual, or contact the factory for assistance.
