3.21 Parameters 24-** Application Functions 23.21.1 24-0* Emergency ModeCAUTIONNote that the frequency converter is only 1 component of the system. Correct function of emergency mode depends onthe correct design and selection of system components. Ventilation systems working in life safety applications must beapproved by the local emergency authorities. Non-interruption of the frequency converter due to emergency modeoperation could cause overpressure and damage the system and components, including dampers and air ducts. Thefrequency converter itself could be damaged and become a source of danger. Danfoss accepts no responsibility forerrors, malfunctions personal injury, or any damage to the frequency converter itself or components herein, pumpsystems and components herein, or other property when the frequency converter has been programmed for emergencymode. In no event shall Danfoss be liable to the end user or any other party for any direct or indirect, special, orconsequential damage or loss suffered by such party, which has occurred due to the frequency converter beingprogrammed and operated in emergency mode.BackgroundEmergency mode is for use in critical situations, where it is imperative for the motor to keep running, regardless of thefrequency converter’s normal protective functions. Some selections of the emergency mode function cause alarms and tripconditions to be disregarded, enabling the motor to run without interruption.ActivationEmergency mode is activated only via digital input terminals.
