The STBY I HIGH error on your Zapi Inverter means the sensor detects a current value different from zero in standby. Replace the controller.
What to do if Zapi Inverter displays WATCH DOG error?
If you see a WATCH DOG error on your Zapi Inverter, it could be due to: * CAN bus malfunctioning, which disrupts master-supervisor communication. In this case, try switching the key off and then on again. * Wrong contents in the main RAM registers. If this is the case, replace the logic board.
How to fix VDC LINK OVERV. error in Zapi ACE3?
If the VDC LINK OVERV. alarm occurs during brake release, check the line contactor contact and the battery power-cable connection. This indicates an overvoltage condition.
What does CAPACITOR CHARGE mean on Zapi Inverter and how to resolve it?
The CAPACITOR CHARGE alarm on your Zapi Inverter is raised when capacitor voltage is less than 20% of the nominal battery voltage. Check if an external load in parallel to the capacitor bank prevents the caps from charging and if the charging resistance or PTC may be broken. Insert a power resistance across line-contactor power terminals; if the alarm disappears, it means that the charging resistance is damaged. If the problem persists, replace the controller.
What does CONTROLLER MISM. mean on Zapi Inverter and how can I fix it?
The CONTROLLER MISM. error on your Zapi Inverter indicates that the software is not compatible with the hardware. Upload the correct firmware.
What does LOGIC FAILURE #3 mean on Zapi ACE3 Inverter and how to resolve it?
The LOGIC FAILURE #3 error on your Zapi Inverter indicates a hardware problem in the logic board due to high currents (overload). Replace the controller.
What does LC COIL OPEN mean on Zapi ACE3 and how can I fix it?
The LC COIL OPEN error on your Zapi Inverter indicates that no load is connected between the NLC output (A16) and the positive voltage. Check the wiring to verify if LC coil is connected to the right connector pin and if it is not interrupted. If the issue persists, replace the logic board.
What does ANALOG INPUT mean on Zapi Inverter and how can I fix it?
The ANALOG INPUT error on your Zapi Inverter indicates that the A/D conversion of the analog inputs returns frozen values for more than 400 ms. Replace the logic board.
What does EVP DRIV. SHORT. mean on Zapi ACE3?
If you see an 'EVP DRIV. SHORT.' error on your Zapi Inverter, it means the EVP driver is shorted (output A19). Check if there is a short circuit or a low-impedance conduction path between the negative of the coil and -BATT. Also, collect information about the voltage applied across the EVP coil, the current in the coil, features of the coil. If the problem persists, replace the controller.
What does it mean if Zapi Inverter shows MOT.PHASE SH. error, and how can I fix it?
If your Zapi Inverter displays MOT.PHASE SH., it indicates a short circuit between two motor phases. Verify the motor phases connection on the motor side and on the inverter side, and check the motor power cables. If the problem persists, replace the controller or the motor.
