What does F81 mean?

An immediate switch-off with inhibit occurs only in 'VFC hoist' operating mode. The motor could not be supplied with the correct amount of current during the pre-magnetizing time, possibly due to mismatched motor/inverter power or insufficient motor cable cross-section.

Common Causes

  • Motor could not be supplied with correct current during pre-magnetizing time (VFC hoist mode)
  • Rated motor power too small in relation to rated inverter power
  • Motor cable cross section too small
