Analog Input Fault
Mitsubishi Electric · FR-D700 Inverter
What does Analog input fault mean?
A voltage (or current) has been input to terminal 4 when the setting in Pr. 267 Terminal 4 input selection and the physical voltage/current input switch on the inverter are mismatched. This incorrect input configuration can lead to erroneous frequency commands, unstable operation, or potentially damage the analog input circuit if not corrected.
Common Causes
- Physical switch on the inverter's control board for terminal 4 (voltage/current selection) is set incorrectly.
- Pr. 267 (Terminal 4 input selection) parameter does not match the desired input signal type (e.g., 0-10V vs. 4-20mA).
- Incorrect wiring to terminal 4; e.g., current source connected when configured for voltage input or vice-versa.
- Input signal exceeds the configured range (e.g., >10V when set for 0-10V, or >20mA when set for 4-20mA).
- Loose connection at terminal 4 or terminal 5 (common) causing an intermittent signal loss or distortion.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Power OFF the inverter, verify the physical voltage/current selection switch for terminal 4 on the control board matches the intended signal type.
- 2
Check Pr. 267 (Terminal 4 input selection) and adjust it to match the physical switch setting and the connected sensor output.
- 3
Measure the input signal voltage (0-10VDC) or current (4-20mA) at terminals 4 and 5 (common) using a multimeter.
- 4
Inspect the wiring to terminals 4 and 5 for proper polarity, secure connections, and absence of shorts.
- 5
Disconnect the external signal source and measure the resistance between terminals 4 and 5 to check for internal input impedance issues (rare).
