  1. 1

    1. Record the exact internal sub-code displayed with the main fault code, as this provides crucial diagnostic information for technical support.

  2. 2

    2. Perform a full power cycle of the drive, waiting at least 60 seconds after disconnecting power before reapplying it.

  3. 3

    3. Attempt to clear the fault using the drive's LCP reset button or parameter P16-90 (Fault Log).

  4. 4

    4. Verify the stability of the input power supply to the drive by measuring L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L1 voltages at the terminals.

  5. 5

    5. Ensure all option cards are securely seated and their firmware is compatible; if the issue persists, temporarily remove non-essential option cards and retest.
