The shadowedfaults are A faults only. The items written in white on black background present faults for which youcan program different responses in the application. See parameter group Protections.Note: When contacting distributor or factory because of a fault condition, always write down all textsand codes on the keypad display.FaultcodeFault Possible cause Correcting measures1 Overcurrent BCU has detected too high current(>4*IH ) in the resistor cables:- Check cables.- Check resistors2 Overvoltage The DC-link voltage has exceeded thelimit:911V for 500V BCU1200V for 690V BCU7 Saturation trip Various causes:− defective component− brake resistor short-circuit oroverload- Cannot be reset from the keypad.- Switch off power.- DO NOT RE-CONNECT POWER!- Contact your local distributor.8 System fault - component failure- faulty operationNote exceptional fault data recordSubcode in T.14:S1 = ReservedS2 = ReservedS3 = ReservedS4 = ReservedS5 = ReservedS6 = ReservedS7 = Charging switchS8 = No power to driver cardS9 = Power unit communication (TX)S10 = Power unit communication (Trip)S11 = Power unit comm. (Measurement)Reset the fault and restart.Should the fault re-occur, contact yourlocal distributor.
