When an improper operating condition occurs in the VFD, the operation panel display changes to one of the status indications shown in Table 2. If the fault does not correspond to any of the faults in Table 2 (or if you have any other problem), refer to the VFD68 Variable Frequency Drive Technical Bulletin (Part No. 24-7664-3051).

Table 1 defines the indication categories. Table 2 provides descriptions of the individual indicator messages.

Table 1. Indication Categories on the Operation Panel Display
Indication Category Description
Error message A message regarding operational or setting errors displays. The VFD continues operating.
Warning The VFD continues operating. Failure to take appropriate measures will lead to a fault.
Alarm The VFD continues operating. You can also output an alarm signal by adjusting a parameter setting.
Fault When a fault occurs, the VFD output reduces to 0 Hz, the motor stops, and the VFD outputs a fault signal.

When a fault occurs, take the appropriate corrective action, then reset the VFD and resume operation. See Resetting the VFD68 Drive. Failure to take corrective action and reset the VFD may lead to a repeat of the fault condition and damage the VFD. For further information on troubleshooting, refer to the VFD68 Variable Frequency Drive Technical Bulletin (Part No. 24-7664-3051).
