Handling
Each error massage consists of:
• Error number,
• Error name,
• Date/Time and
• Extra Info.
One error name can include several errors depending on motor - or mains inverter. They
differ from the Extra Info.

Note!
If the red LED on SA PCB (A7) is ON, an error has stopped or blocked the frequency
converter. In this case the error must be remedy:
1) Switch F1 OFF and
2) switch F1 ON
