Mitsubishi FR-E700 Drive Fault Codes:

Fault Code and Meaning	Cause and Remedy
HOLD Operation panel lock	Cause: Operation lock mode is set. Operation other than STOP/RESET is invalid. Remedy: Press (MODE) for 2s to release lock.
LOCD Password locked	Cause: Password function is active. Display and setting of parameter is restricted. Remedy: Enter the password in Pr. 297 Password lock/unlock to unlock the password function before operating.
Er1 Write disable error	Cause: You attempted to make parameter setting when Pr. 77 Parameter write selection has been set to disable parameter write. Frequency jump setting range overlapped. Check the setting of Pr. 77. Check the settings of Pr. 31 to Pr. 36 (frequency jump). Remedy: (Check settings listed in Cause).
Er2 Write error during operation	Cause: Parameter write was performed during operation with a value other than “2” in Pr. 77 and the STF (STR) is ON. Check the Pr. 77 setting. Check that the inverter is not operating. Remedy: Set “2” in Pr. 77. After stopping operation, make parameter setting.
Er4 Mode designation error	Cause: Appears if a parameter setting is attempted in the NET operation mode with Pr. 77 ≠ “2”. Check that operation mode is PU operation mode. Check the Pr. 77 setting. Remedy: After setting the operation mode to the “PU operation mode”, make parameter setting. After setting Pr. 77 = “2”, make parameter setting.
Err. Inverter reset	Cause: Appears at the execution of a reset command, which is given via CC-Link communication or from STOP/RESET on the operation panel. Appears at powering OFF. Remedy: Turn OFF the reset command.
OL Stall prevention (overcurrent)	Cause: The inverter current exceeded the stall prevention operation level (Pr. 22). This function stops frequency increase (during accel), reduces frequency (during constant speed), or stops frequency decrease (during decel) to prevent overcurrent trip. Check that the Pr. 0 Torque boost setting is not too large. Check that the Pr. 7 Acceleration time and Pr. 8 Deceleration time settings are not too small. Check that the load is not too heavy. Are there any failure in peripheral devices? Check that the Pr. 13 Starting frequency is not too large. Check that the Pr. 22 Stall prevention operation level is appropriate. Remedy: Increase or decrease the Pr. 0 Torque boost setting 1% by 1% and check the motor status. Set a larger value in Pr. 7 Acceleration time and Pr. 8 Deceleration time. Reduce the load weight. Try Advanced magnetic flux vector control and General-purpose magnetic flux vector control. Change the Pr. 14 Load pattern selection setting. Set stall prevention operation current in Pr. 22. (Initial value 150%). Increase the stall prevention operation level with Pr. 22, or disable stall prevention with Pr. 156.
oL Stall prevention (overvoltage)	Cause: If regenerative energy of the motor becomes excessive (exceeds capability), the function stops frequency decrease to prevent overvoltage trip. Check for sudden speed reduction. Check that regeneration avoidance function (Pr. 882, Pr. 883, Pr. 885, Pr. 886) is used. Remedy: The deceleration time may change. Increase the deceleration time using Pr. 8 Deceleration time.
PS PU stop	Cause: Stop with STOP/RESET on the operation panel is set in Pr. 75 Reset selection/PU stop selection. Check for a stop made by pressing STOP/RESET on the operation panel. Remedy: Turn the start signal OFF and release with PU/EXT.
RB Regenerative brake prealarm	Cause: Appears if the regenerative brake duty reaches or exceeds 85% of the Pr. 70 value. Check that the brake resistor duty is not high. Check that Pr. 30 and Pr. 70 settings are correct. Remedy: Increase the deceleration time. Check that the Pr. 30 Regenerative function selection and Pr. 70 Special regenerative brake duty settings.
TH Electronic thermal relay function prealarm	Cause: Appears if the cumulative value of the Pr. 9 Electronic thermal O/L relay reaches or exceeds 85% of the preset level. Check for large load or sudden acceleration. Is the Pr. 9 Electronic thermal O/L relay setting appropriate? Remedy: Reduce the load and frequency of operation. Set an appropriate value in Pr. 9 Electronic thermal O/L relay.
MT Maintenance signal output	Cause: Indicates that the cumulative energization time of the inverter has reached a given time. The Pr. 503 Maintenance timer setting is larger than the Pr. 504 Maintenance timer alarm output set time setting. Remedy: Setting “0” in Pr. 503 Maintenance timer erases the signal.
UV Undervoltage	Cause: Power supply voltage decreased (below approx 115VAC or 230VAC for 400V class), control circuit will not perform normal functions. Check that the power supply voltage is normal. Remedy: Check the power supply system equipment such as power supply.
SA Safety stop	Cause: Appears when safety stop function is activated (during output shutoff). If the indication appears when safety stop function is not used, check that shorting wires between S1 and PC, S2 and PC are connected. Remedy: When not using the safety stop function, short across terminals S1 and PC and across S2 and PC with shorting wire. If SA is indicated when terminals are shorted, internal failure might be the cause. Check wiring of terminals S1, S2 and PC.
EV 24V external power supply operation	Cause: Check if the 24V external power is supplied. Check if the power supply for the inverter (main circuit) is ON. Check if the power supply voltage is low. Check if the jumper between terminal P/+ and P1 is removed. Remedy: Turn ON the power supply for the inverter (main circuit). If “EV” appears by turning ON the power supply of the inverter (main circuit) while the external 24V power is supplied, check the power supply (for the main circuit). Check if the jumper is installed securely between terminal P/+ and P1.

Check if the fast-response current limit operation is disabled. Check that regeneration is not performed frequently. Remedy: Increase the acceleration time. (Shorten the downward acceleration time for lifts.) When “E.OC1” is always lit at starting, disconnect the motor once and start the inverter. If “E.OC1” is still lit, contact your sales representative. Check the wiring to make sure that output short circuit/ground fault does not occur. Set 50Hz in Pr. 3 Base frequency. Lower the setting of stall prevention operation level. Activate the fast-response current limit operation. Set base voltage (rated voltage of the motor, etc.) in Pr. 19 Base frequency voltage.
