A failure has occurred at EEPROM in the operation panel during parameter verification. Remedy: Continue the verification by pressing SET. Perform the parameter verification again. The operation panel (FR-DU08) may be faulty. Contact your sales representative.
rE4 Product series error	Cause: The series of the source converter used to copy or verify parameters is not the same as the target converter. The operation panel data was incorrect when attempting to verify parameters or copy parameters from the operation panel to the converter. Remedy: Check that the source converter being used to verify or copy parameters is the same series as the target converter. Check that the copying of parameters was not interrupted due to a loss of power. Try to copy or verify parameters again.
OL / LB Overload signal detection	Cause: Appears when the current limit function of the converter is activated. Remedy: Set the acceleration/deceleration time longer in the inverter. Reduce the load. Check that the peripheral devices are operating properly.
TH / LC Electronic thermal relay function pre-alarm	Cause: Appears if the cumulative value of the electronic thermal relay reaches or exceeds 85% of the preset level. Remedy: Check for large load or sudden acceleration. Reduce the load and frequency of operation.
PS / LD PU stop	Cause: The PU stop (stop of the converter operation by pressing STOP/RESET on the PU) is enabled by the setting of Pr.75. Remedy: To reset the indication, turn ON the Converter stop (SOF) signal to stop the converter output, and press EXT.
MT / LE Maintenance signal output	Cause: Appears when the converter’s cumulative energization time reaches or exceeds the parameter set value (Pr.34 > Pr.35). Remedy: Write “0” in Pr.34 Maintenance timer.
CP Parameter copy	Cause: Appears when parameter copy is performed between the FR-XC-(H)55K or lower and the FR-XC-H75K. Remedy: Pr.52 PU main monitor selection and Pr.57 Restart selection must be set again. Set the initial value in Pr.989 Parameter copy alarm release.
SL / LG Power supply not detected	Cause: Appears when the power supply detection ends incompletely at a power failure. Appears at the power ON of the control circuit when using separate power supply sources for the control circuit and main circuit. Remedy: Check that the wiring from proper power source is performed correctly. Correct the wiring.
LH Converter operation disabled	Cause: Appears when the regenerative operation is not possible due to data processing in the converter (e.g. triggered by SOF signal). Remedy: Turn OFF the SOF signal. Check the power supply condition is stable. Check that the multifunction regeneration converter was reset after Parameter copy.

Check for a short-circuit in the output circuit. Check that the wiring is performed correctly. Check that any power supply failure did not occur. Keep the load stable.
E.OVT / E.B Overvoltage trip	Cause: If the converter’s internal main circuit DC voltage reaches or exceeds the specified value, the protective circuit is activated. Can also be caused by surge voltage. Remedy: Check for sudden load change and excessive regeneration. Check that any power supply failure did not occur. Keep the load stable. Check the power supply.
E.THT / E.C Overload trip (electronic thermal relay function)	Cause: Electronic thermal relay activates in inverse-time characteristics against the converter input to stop the output. Remedy: Reduce the load. Reconsider the configuration of the inverters for the converter. Make the permissible voltage imbalance ratio within 3%. Check that the total capacity of inverters is not larger than the converter capacity.
E.FIN / E.D Heat sink overheat	Cause: When the heat sink overheats, the temperature sensor activates, and the converter output is stopped. Remedy: Set the surrounding air temperature to within the specifications. Clean the heat sink (check for clogging). Replace the cooling fan if stopped.
E.IPF / E.E Instantaneous power failure	Cause: Instantaneous power failure protection function activates to stop the output. (Power failure persists for 100 ms or longer). Remedy: Remedy the instantaneous power failure. Prepare a backup power supply for instantaneous power failure. Set the function of automatic restart after instantaneous power failure (Pr.57).
E.UVT / E.F Undervoltage	Cause: If the power supply voltage drops to about 150 VAC or lower, the output is stopped to prevent control circuit malfunction. Remedy: Investigate the devices on the power system such as the power supply itself. Check if a high-capacity motor is driven. Check that the wiring is performed correctly.
E.ILF / E.G Input phase loss	Cause: This protective function is activated when any of the three phases of power input is lost. Remedy: Correct the wiring. Repair a broken wire.
E.OHT / E.H External thermal relay operation	Cause: If an overheat protection device such as a thermostat activates, the output of the converter is stopped.
