F016

Main overvoltage

Schindler · Easy Altivar ATV310 Drive

What does F016 mean?

This ATV310 fault occurs when the incoming line voltage supplied to the drive is excessively high. This can be triggered at power-on (10% over maximum acceptable voltage) or when idle (20% over maximal line supply), or by a disturbed mains supply.

Common Causes

  • Line voltage too high at drive power on (exceeding 10% over the maximum acceptable voltage level)
  • Line voltage too high when powered with no run command (exceeding 20% over maximal line supply)
  • Disturbed mains supply with transient overvoltages

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Turn off the ATV310 drive and verify the incoming line voltage using a multimeter or power quality analyzer.

  2. 2

    Adjust the line voltage from the source to ensure it is within the drive's specified nominal voltage range and tolerances.

  3. 3

    After the line voltage returns to nominal (within tolerance), power on the drive.

  4. 4

    If intermittent F016 codes appear, set parameter 205 (R1 assignment) to 01 and connect the R1 relay output to upstream protection to avoid drive overvoltage.
