13 Faults and warnings
13.1 Faults
Fault means that the hoist control unit has detected a situation that prevents the hoist from running. The
hoist control unit stops the motion, indicates the fault text on the display and illuminates the red LED
continuously on both the unit and display. Depending on the detected situation and parameter settings,
only hoisting or only lowering is allowed, or running the hoist is totally prevented by the hoist-monitoring
unit.
The fault messages shown on the display are given in the table below. The messages appear when the
corresponding fault is detected. The message disappears automatically when the corresponding fault
situation is cleared. Also it is possible to clear the message and return to the original display by pushing
the ENT–button. However, as long as the fault is active, the red LEDs are illuminated and the fault
message can be read from the status mode.
