8 - TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE 
11   Ground  Ground fault  0 
The drive has detected current 
ow to ground 
- Check for grounded motor leads or motor 
- Verify proper wiring and grounding
- Consult factory 
- Replace motor
12   Vac Imblnce 
Input voltage 
imbalance 
0 
The drive has detected a 
single-phase condition or a 
voltage imbalance outside the 
drive’s rating that could be dam-
aging to the drive 
- Check input voltage and current 
for imbalance, and correct 
13   OverVoltage 
Overvoltage 
condition 
0 
The drive has detected an 
overvoltage condition during a 
running condition 
- Verify incoming line power is within
 specication.
1, 3 
The drive has detected an 
overvoltage condition during a 
running condition 
- Increase decel time
- Verify incoming line power and check for 
regenerative load. 
- Reduce Regen load or add dynamic braking 
resistors. 
Regen Current Limit may help 
- Consult factory 
2 
The drive has detected an 
overvoltage condition on 
power-up 
- Verify incoming line power is 
within specication. Add reactor 
or transformer to correct 
15   Dyn Brake 
Dynamic 
brake 
overload 
0 
The DB circuit is active on 
power-up (not auto-resettable) 
- Check for failed braking 
transistor 
- Consult factory 
1 
The DB circuit is being activated 
for too long, possibly causing the  
resistor to overheat or fail 
- Reduce braking cycle ora Add external DB 
resistor. 
- Activate current limit 
- Consult factory 
2 
The DB circuit is overloaded 
because of too large a 
regenerative load 
- Reduce braking cycle ora Add external DB 
resistor. 
- Activate current limit 
- Consult factory 
3, 4, 5 
The DB circuit is faulty on 
power-up (not auto-resettable) 
18   Over Current 
Overcurrent 
condition 
0 
The drive sensed an overcurrent 
condition on power-up (not 
auto-resettable) 
- Check for failed output power device or 
shorted motor 
1 
The drive sensed an overcurrent 
condition during operation. The 
current has exceeded the safe 
operation point of power devices 
- Operate after motor has completely stopped. 
- Verify output wiring. 
- Check mechanical brake operation. 
- Reduce load on motor. 
- Verify Motor FLA
- Increase Accel time.
- Check cooling fan
- Check for mechanical binding/shock loading 
19   Over Temp 
Over
temperature 
condition 
0 
The temperature of the heatsink 
exceeded a temperature limit 
- Check that ambient temperature does not
 exceed drive’s rating 
- Check for fan operation and replace if
 required. (drives with fans installed)
- Verify ambient temperature is below 40C 
1 
The temperature of the control 
board exceeded a temperature 
limit 
- Check that ambient temperature 
does not exceed drive’s rating 
- Check for fan operation 
(assuming drive has fans 
installed) 
2 
The drive sensed the heatsink 
thermistor sensor is faulty or not 
connected properly 
- Check thermistor connections 
or replace 
- Consult factory 
3 
The drive sensed the control 
board thermistor sensor is faulty 
or not connected properly 
Check thermistor connections or 
replace 
- Consult factory
