PROBLEM POINTTOBE CORRECTIVEACTION
CHECKED
Motor does not run Incorrect wiring 1. Check the power and control connections. For example the DIx digital inputs
programmed for Enabling or External Fault must be connected to +24V.
Incorrect programming 1. Check if the parameters are properly programmed for the application.
Fault 1. Check if the Soft-Starter is not disabled due to a Fault condition
(Refer to table 8.1).
Motor does not reach Motor stall 1. Increase the current limit level, if programmed to current limit.
nominal speed 2. Increase the torque limit level, if the torque control mode has been selected.
Motorspeedvaries Looseconnections 1. Disable Soft-Starter, switch OFF the power supply and tighten all connections.
(oscillates) 2. Check if all internal connections are tightened.
Motor speed too low Motor nameplate data 1. Check if the used motor meets the application requirements.
or too high
Display OFF Keypad connection 1. Check the keypad connections to the Soft-Starter.
Check the supply voltage 1. Nominal supply voltage must be following:
of the control board U
min
= 93.5 Vac
(X1.1, X1.2 and PE) U
max
= 253 Vac
Blown fuse 1. Replace the fuse of the control board.
Jerking during Parameter setting 1. Reduce the time set at P104.
pump deceleration of the Soft-Starter

NOTE!
When contacting WEG for service or technical assistance, please
have the following data on hand:
- Soft-Starter Model;
- Serial number, manufacturing date and hardware revision, as indi-
cated on the Soft-Starter nameplate (Refer to Section 2.4);
- Software Version (Refer to Section 2.2);
- Information about the application and Soft-Starter programming.
