The temperature around the motor exceeded the range of the motor specification. – Measure the temperature around the motor. 2. Cooling system for the motor defective. – Check if the cooling system of the motor is operating normally. 3.

PbF Charger circuit fault	Cause: The magnetic contactor for short-circuiting the resistor for charging failed to work. Solution: Control power was not supplied to the magnetic contactor intended for short-circuiting the charging resistor. 1. Check whether, in normal connection of the main circuit (not connection via the DC link bus), the connector (CN) on the power supply printed circuit board is not inserted to NC . – Insert the connector to FAN . 2. Check whether you have quickly turned the circuit breaker ON and OFF to confirm safety after cabling/wiring. – Wait until the DC link bus voltage has dropped to a sufficiently low level and then reset the current alarm, and turn ON the power again. (Do not turn the circuit breaker ON and OFF quickly.) (Turning ON the circuit breaker supplies power to the control circuit to the operation level (lighting LEDs on the keypad) in a short period. Immediately turning it OFF even retains the control circuit power for a time, while it shuts down the power to the magnetic contactor intended for short-circuiting the charging resistor since the contactor is directly powered from the main power. – Under such conditions, the control circuit can issue a turn-on command to the magnetic contactor, but the contactor not powered can produce nothing. This state is regarded as abnormal, causing an alarm.)
OL1 Electronic thermal overload relay	Cause: Electronic thermal function for motor overload detection was activated. Solution: 1. Load was too heavy. Measure the output current. – Lighten the load (e.g., lighten the load before overload occurs using the overload early warning). 2. The acceleration/ deceleration time was too short. – Check that the motor generates enough torque for acceleration/deceleration. This torque is calculated from the moment of inertia for the load and the acceleration/ deceleration time. – Increase the acceleration/ deceleration time. 3. The characteristics of electronic thermal did not match those of the motor overload. Check the motor characteristics. – Use an external thermal relay. 4. Activation level for the electronic thermal relay was inadequate. – Check the continuous allowable current of the motor.

The load is too heavy or locked-rotor occurs on the motor. – Reduce the load or check motor and mechanical conditions. 2. The rated AC drive power is low. – Replace the drive by one with higher rated power. 3. Temperature around the inverter exceeded that of inverter specifications. – Measure the temperature around the inverter.
Er1 Memory error	Cause: Error occurred in writing the data to the memory in the inverter. Solution: 1. While the inverter was writing data (especially initializing data), power supply was turned off and the voltage for the control circuit dropped. – Check if pressing the PGR/RESET key resets the alarm after the function code data are initialized by setting the data of H03 to 1 – Return the initialized function code data to their previous settings, then restart the operation. 2. A high intensity noise was given to the inverter while data (especially initializing data) was being written. – Check if appropriate noise control measures have been implemented (e.g., correct grounding and routing of control and main circuit wires). – Improve noise control. Alternatively, return the initialized function code data to their previous settings, then restart the operation. 3. The control circuit failed. – Initialize the function code data by setting H03 to 1, then reset the alarm by pressing the PGR/RESET key and check that the alarm goes on. – This problem was caused by a problem of the printed circuit board (PCB) (on which the CPU is mounted).
Er2 Remote keypad communications error	Cause: A communications error occurred between the remote keypad and the inverter. Solution: 1.

There was a high intensity noise from outside. – Check whether appropriate noise control measures have been implemented (e.g. correct grounding and routing of control and main circuit wires and communications cable). – Reinforce noise control measures.
Er5 Option card error	Cause: An error detected by the option card. Refer to the instruction manual of the option card for details.
Er6 Incorrect operation error	Cause: An error occurred due to incorrect operation of the motor. You incorrectly operated the inverter. Solution: 1. The STOP key was pressed when H96 = 1 or 3. Even though a run command was present at the input terminal or the communication port, the inverter was forced to decelerate to stop and er6 was displayed. – If this was not intended, check the setting of H96. 2. The start check function was activated when H96 = 2 or 3. When one of the following conditions occurred while a run command was present at the input, the inverter did not run and er6 was displayed: – The power was switched on – An alarm was released – The inverter was switched to link command LE operation. Review the running sequence to avoid input of the run command when er6 has occurred. If this was not intended, check the setting of H96. (To reset the alarm, turn the run command off.)

A phase was missing (There was a phase loss) in the connection between the inverter and the motor. – Properly connect the motor to the inverter. 2. V/f or the rated current of the motor was not properly set. – Check whether the data of function codes F04, F05, H50, H51, P02, and P03 agrees with the specifications of the motor. 3. The connection between the inverter and the motor was too long. – Check whether the connection length between the inverter and the motor is not exceeding 50m. – Review, and if necessary, change the layout of the inverter and the motor to shorten the connection wire. Alternatively, minimize the connection wire length without changing the layout. – Disable both auto-tuning and auto-torque (set F37 to “1”). 4. The rated capacity of the motor was significantly different from that of the inverter. – Check whether the rated capacity of the motor is smaller than that of the inverter by three or more orders of class or larger by two or more orders of class. – Check whether it is possible to replace the inverter with one with an appropriate capacity. – Manually specify the values for the motor parameters P06, P07, and P08. – Disable both auto-tuning and auto-torque boost (set F37 to “1”). 5. The motor was a special type such as a high-speed motor. – Disable both auto-tuning and auto-torque boost (set F37 to “1”).

ErF Data save error during undervoltage	Cause: The inverter was unable to save data such as the frequency commands, timer operation time, and PID process command set through the keypad when the power was switched off. Solution: 1. The control circuit voltage dropped suddenly while data was being saved when the power was turned off, because the DC link bus was rapidly discharged. – Check how long it takes for the DC link bus voltage to drop to the preset voltage when power is turned off. – Remove whatever is causing the rapid discharge of the DC link circuit. After pressing the PGR/RESET key and releasing the alarm, set, using a remote keypad, the data of the relevant function codes (such as the frequency commands, timer operation time, and PID process command) back to the original values and then restart the operation. 2. A high intensity noise affected the operation of the inverter while data was being saved when the power was turned off. – Check if appropriate noise control measures have been implemented (e.g., correct grounding and routing of control and main circuit wires). – Improve noise control. After pressing the PGR/RESET key and releasing the alarm, set, using a remote keypad, the data of the relevant function codes (such as the frequency commands, timer operation time, and PID process command) back to the original values and then restart the operation. 3.
