Mitsubishi FR-CS80 Drive

Mitsubishi FR-CS80 Drive Fault Codes:

Fault Code and Meaning	Cause and Remedy
HOLD Operation panel lock	Cause: Operation lock is set. Operation other than STOP/RESET is invalid. Remedy: Press MODE for 2 seconds to release the lock.
LOCD Parameter locked	Cause: Password function is active. Display and setting of parameters are restricted. Remedy: Enter the password in Pr.297 (Password lock/unlock) to unlock the password function before the operation.
Er1 Write disable error	Cause: Parameter setting was attempted while Pr.77 is set to disable write, or overlapping ranges set for frequency jump/adjustable 5 points V/F. The PU and inverter may not be communicating normally. Remedy: Check the Pr.77 Parameter write selection setting. Check the settings of Pr.31 to Pr.36 (frequency jump). Check the settings of Pr.100 to Pr.105 (adjustable 3 points V/F). Check the connection of the PU and the inverter.
Er2 Write error during operation	Cause: Parameter write was attempted while Pr.77 Parameter write selection = “0”. Remedy: Check that the inverter is stopped. After stopping the operation, make parameter setting. When setting Pr.77 = “2”, parameter write is enabled during operation.
Er3 Calibration error	Cause: Analog input bias and gain calibration values are set too close. Remedy: Check the settings of the calibration parameters C3, C4, C6, and C7 (calibration functions).
Er4 Mode designation error	Cause: Parameter setting is attempted in the External or NET operation mode when Pr.77 = “1”, or when the command source is not at the operation panel. Remedy: Check that operation mode is PU operation mode. Check that the Pr.551 PU mode operation command source selection setting is correct. After setting the operation mode to the “PU operation mode”, set the parameter. When Pr.77 = “2”, parameter write is enabled regardless of the operation mode.
Err. (Error)	Cause: The RES signal is turned ON, or voltage at the input side of the inverter has dropped. Remedy: Turn OFF the RES signal. Check the voltage on the input side of the inverter.
OLC (FR-LU08: OL) Stall prevention (overcurrent)	Cause: When the output current of the inverter increases, the stall prevention function is activated. This stops the increase (during accel) or decreases frequency (during constant speed/decel) to prevent an overcurrent trip. Remedy: Check that the Pr.0 Torque boost setting is not too large. Check if Pr.7 Acceleration time and Pr.8 Deceleration time settings are too short. Check that the load is not too heavy. Check for any failures in peripheral devices. Check that Pr.13 Starting frequency is not too large. Check that Pr.22 Stall prevention operation level is appropriate. Set a larger value in Pr.7 and Pr.8. Reduce the load or try General-purpose magnetic flux vector control.
OLV (FR-LU08: oL) Stall prevention (overvoltage)	Cause: When the output voltage increases, the stall prevention function is activated. The regeneration avoidance function may be activated due to excessive regenerative power. Remedy: Check for sudden speed reduction. Check if the regeneration avoidance function (Pr.882, Pr.883, etc.) is enabled. Increase the deceleration time using Pr.8 Deceleration time.
TH Electronic thermal O/L relay pre-alarm	Cause: Appears if the cumulative value of the electronic thermal O/L relay reaches 85% of the preset level of Pr.9. Remedy: Check for large load or sudden acceleration. Check that the Pr.9 setting is appropriate. Reduce the load and frequency of operation. Set an appropriate value in Pr.9.
PS PU stop	Cause: The motor is stopped using STOP/RESET under a mode other than PU operation mode (if Pr.75 is set to allow this), or by the emergency stop function. Remedy: Check if the motor is stopped by pressing STOP/RESET on the operation panel. Turn OFF the start signal and switch the operation mode to the PU operation mode to reset.
UV Undervoltage	Cause: Power supply voltage of the inverter decreased to about 115 VAC (200V class) or 230 VAC (400V class) or below. Remedy: Check that the power supply voltage is appropriate. Check if a high-capacity motor is driven. Investigate the devices on the power supply line such as the power supply itself.
IH Inrush current limit resistor overheat	Cause: The inrush current limit resistor (PTC thermistor) is overheated due to frequent power ON/OFF cycling. Remedy: Check that power ON/OFF is not repeated frequently. Check that the inrush current limit circuit is not damaged. Configure a circuit where frequent power ON/OFF is not repeated. If problem persists, contact your sales representative.
ED Emergency drive in operation	Cause: Emergency drive operation is performed by turning ON the X84 signal. Remedy: The display is cleared when the emergency drive operation ends.
E.OC1 Overcurrent trip during acceleration	Cause: Check for sudden speed acceleration. Check if the downward acceleration time is too long in a lift application. Check for output short-circuit. Check that the Pr.3 Base frequency setting is not 60 Hz when the motor rated frequency is 50 Hz. Check if the stall prevention operation level is set too high. Check if the fast-response current limit operation is disabled. Check that the regenerative driving is not performed frequently. Remedy: Set the acceleration time longer. (Shorten the downward acceleration time of the lift.) If “E.OC1” always appears at start, disconnect the motor once and restart the inverter. If it still appears, contact your sales representative. Check the wiring to make sure that output short circuit does not occur. Set 50 Hz in Pr.3 Base frequency. Lower the stall prevention operation level. Activate the fast-response current limit operation. Set the base voltage in Pr.19 Base frequency voltage.
E.OC2 Overcurrent trip during constant speed	Cause: Check for sudden load change. Check for output short-circuit. Check if the stall prevention operation level is set too high. Check if the fast-response current limit operation is disabled. Remedy: Keep the load stable. Check the wiring to make sure that output short circuit does not occur. Lower the stall prevention operation level. Activate the fast-response current limit operation.
E.OC3 Overcurrent trip during deceleration or stop	Cause: Check for sudden speed reduction. Check for output short-circuit. Check for too fast operation of the motor’s mechanical brake. Check if the stall prevention operation level is set too high. Check if the fast-response current limit operation is disabled. Remedy: Set the deceleration time longer. Check the wiring to make sure that output short circuit does not occur. Check the mechanical brake operation. Lower the stall prevention operation level. Activate the fast-response current limit operation.
E.OV1 Regenerative overvoltage trip during acceleration	Cause: Check for too slow acceleration. (e.g. during downward acceleration in vertical lift load) Check that the Pr.22 Stall prevention operation level is not set to the no load current or lower. Check if the stall prevention operation is frequently activated in an application with a large load inertia. Remedy: Set the acceleration time shorter. Use the regeneration avoidance function (Pr.882, Pr.883, Pr.885, Pr.886). Set a value larger than the no load current in Pr.22.

Use the regeneration avoidance function (Pr.882, Pr.883, Pr.885, Pr.886). Use a brake unit or the power regeneration common converter (FR-CV) as required. Set a value larger than the no load current in Pr.22. Set the acceleration/deceleration time longer.
E.OV3 Regenerative overvoltage trip during deceleration or stop	Cause: Check for sudden speed reduction. Check if the stall prevention operation is frequently activated in an application with a large load inertia. Remedy: Set the deceleration time longer.
