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), contact PENN by Johnson Controls Application Engineering at1-414-524-5535 or 1-800-275-5676.
Table 1 defines the indication categories. Table 2 provides descriptions of the individual indicator messages.
| 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, see Advanced Troubleshooting.
