Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your Ultra1500   6-3
Status Indicators and the 
Operator Interface
The Operator Interface provides immediate access to Ultra1500 drive status 
and settings. The major features of the Ultra1500 Operator Interface are 
identified in Figure 6.1 and briefly described below. Refer to Ultra1500 Operator 
Interface on page D-1 for detailed information about using the operator 
interface. 
Figure 6.1
Ultra1500 Operator Interface 
• The 7-Segment LED displays status, parameters, functional commands, 
and allows drive monitoring. 
• The MAIN POWER indicator illuminates when the drive's DC bus is 
charged by application of 200–240V power to the L1, L2 and L3 main 
power pins. 
• The CONTROL POWER illuminates when the drive's control electronics 
are powered by application of 200–240V power to the L1C and L2C 
control power pins. 
• The MODE/SET, ENTER, and directional keys provide the operator 
with access to drive functions and program the drive. Refer to Ultra1500 
Operator Interface on page D-1 for more information. 
• The 7-segment displays provide operational information when the drive is 
functioning, or warning/error messages when abnormalities are 
encountered. 
Normal operational information consists of six characters that display data 
in three categories. The categories consist of a Control Mode (characters 0 
and 1), a Row Display (2), and Status (3 to 5). Figure 6.2 depicts these 
categories and defines the information provided. 
ATTENTION
!
DC bus capacitors retain hazardous voltages after input 
power has been removed. Before working on the drive, 
measure the DC bus voltage to verify it has reached a safe 
level or wait a full 3 minutes to ensure that all voltages on 
the system bus are discharged. 
Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe 
bodily injury or loss of life.
