Safety stop
Mitsubishi Electric · Mitsubishi FR-E800 Variable Frequency Drive
What does SA mean?
This alarm appears when the safety stop function is activated, resulting in the shutoff of the inverter's output. It signifies a protective measure triggered by an emergency stop device or a disconnection within the safety circuit.
Common Causes
- External emergency stop button activated, interrupting safety input circuit.
- Safety relay tripped due to activation of a safety device (e.g., light curtain, gate switch).
- Safety input parameter (e.g., P3-01 to P3-08) misconfigured or receiving an unexpected signal.
- Wiring fault in the safety chain, causing a break in the safety loop.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify the state of the external emergency stop device or safety relay contacts (e.g., measure voltage at input terminal STOA/STOB).
- 2
Inspect all safety chain devices (e.g., light curtains, door interlocks) for activation or damage.
- 3
Check inverter safety input parameter settings (e.g., P3-01 to P3-08) for correct configuration (e.g., Normally Closed, Normally Open).
- 4
Reset the safety circuit externally after resolving the trigger condition, then attempt to reset the inverter fault.
- 5
Measure continuity across safety input terminals to ensure proper closure or opening as expected by the safety circuit design.
