CPF03 | NV-RAM (S-RAM) fault GPD 503 failure. |
CPF04 | NV-RAM (BCC, Access Code) fault GPD 503 failure. This fault may be caused after changing EPROM chips. Perform a Sn-03 Reset operation to attempt to clear this fault. |
CPF05 | A/D converter failure in CPU GPD 503 failure. |
CPF06 | Optional connection failure Improper installation or wiring of option card. |
CPF20 | A/D converter failure Defective option card. |
CPF21 | Transmission interface card (option) self-analysis function fault Defective option card. Check option card connector for proper installation. |
CPF22 | Model code fault Defective option card. Check option card connector for proper installation. |
CPF23 | Mutual-analysis function fault Defective option card. Check option card connector for proper installation. |
EF (blinking) | Simultaneous forward and reverse operation commands Fwd Run and Rev Run commands are both closed for more than 500 ms. Removing one command will allow drive operation. |
EF0 | External fault GPD 503 is in Stop mode. |
EF3 | Ext. fault signal at term. 3 A fault condition has occurred in the external circuit(s) monitored by the contact providing input to the indicated terminal. If display is steady, GPD 503 is in Stop mode; if display is blinking, the terminal is programmed to allow continued operation after receiving fault input. |
EF5 | Ext. fault signal at term. 5 A fault condition has occurred in the external circuit(s) monitored by the contact providing input to the indicated terminal. If display is steady, GPD 503 is in Stop mode; if display is blinking, the terminal is programmed to allow continued operation after receiving fault input. |
EF6 | Ext. fault signal at term. 6 A fault condition has occurred in the external circuit(s) monitored by the contact providing input to the indicated terminal. If display is steady, GPD 503 is in Stop mode; if display is blinking, the terminal is programmed to allow continued operation after receiving fault input. |
EF7 | Ext. fault signal at term. 7 A fault condition has occurred in the external circuit(s) monitored by the contact providing input to the indicated terminal. If display is steady, GPD 503 is in Stop mode; if display is blinking, the terminal is programmed to allow continued operation after receiving fault input. |
EF8 | Ext. fault signal at term. 8 A fault condition has occurred in the external circuit(s) monitored by the contact providing input to the indicated terminal. If display is steady, GPD 503 is in Stop mode; if display is blinking, the terminal is programmed to allow continued operation after receiving fault input. |
Err | Constant write-in fault Temporary display, in Program mode, indicating that constant setting was not written into EPROM memory. |
FAn | Cooling fan failure GPD 503 is in Stop mode. |
FU | Fuse blown DC Bus fuse has cleared. Check for short circuit in output, and check main circuit transistors. |
GF | Ground fault protection Ground current > approx. 50% of the GPD 503 rated current. |
oC | Overcurrent GPD 503 output current exceeds 200% of GPD 503 rated current, or ground fault has occurred, with ground current exceeding 50% of GPD 503 rated current. |
oH | Heat sink overheated Fin temperature exceeds 90° C (194° F) |
oH2 (blinking) | External overheat External temperature monitoring circuit(s) detected an overtemperature condition and produced an input signal. |
oL1 | Overload Thermal motor overload protection has tripped. |
oL2 | Overload GPD 503 overload protection has tripped. |
oL3 (blinking) | Overload GPD 503 output torque exceeds the set Overtorque Detection level, but GPD 503 is programmed for continued operation at overtorque detection. |
oL3 | Overload GPD 503 output torque exceeds the set Overtorque Detection level, and GPD 503 is programmed for coast to stop at overtorque detection. |
oPE01 | kVA constant setting fault Sn-01 setting is incorrect. |
oPE02 | Constant setting range fault An-XX, bn-XX, Cn-XX, or Sn-XX setting range fault. |
oPE03 | Constant set value fault Sn-15 to -18 (multi-function input) set value fault. |
oPE04 | Constant set value fault PG constant, number of poles, or PG division rate set incorrectly. |
oPE10 | Constant set value fault Cn-02 to -08 (V/f data) set incorrectly. |
oPE11 | Constant set value fault One of the following conditions was detected: • Cn-23 > 5 KHz and Cn-24 5 KHz or • Cn-25 > 6 and Cn-24 > Cn-23 |
ou (blinking) | Overvoltage Internal monitor of DC Bus voltage indicates that input AC power is excessively high, while GPD 503 is in stopped condition. |
ou | Overvoltage (OV) Detection level: Approx. 400V for 230V; Approx. 800V for 460V; Approx. 1000V for 575V. |
rr | Regenerative transistor Failure Dynamic Braking resistor has failed. |
rH | Braking resistor unit overheated Dynamic Braking resistor has overheated. |
Uu (blinking) | Low voltage (Power UV) Internal monitor of DC Bus voltage indicates that input AC power is below Undervoltage detection level, while the GPD 503 is in stopped condition. |
Uu1 Low voltage (Power UV) | Occurs two seconds after detection of low voltage. |
Uu2 Low voltage UV | Control circuit voltage levels drop below acceptable levels during operation. |
Uu3 Low voltage (MC-ANS fault) | Main circuit magnetic contactor does not operate correctly. |
