14 Troubleshooting
In the fault logger (5-2 Fault log) each fault is identified with a fault code and the values of the start
counter that corresponds to the detection time of the fault. The first fault in the logger (5-2-1) is the latest
one.
In the table below, the column “Code” (e.g. F_OL) indicates the abbreviation for each fault as shown in
the fault logger.

Hoist overload
•
Confirm that the value on load display is the actual load, not tared load
•
Confirm that the lifted load is not more than 110% of the rated load of the hoist.
•
Load display updates the values slower than overload protection trips.
•
Check the parameter 6-4 (must be equal to the rated load of the hoist)
•
Check if intermediate load limits are in use. (Parameters 4-1-1 and 4-2-1)
•
Perform the calibration procedure, when required, as described in this manual.
•
Check the parameter 4-7-1 value
The parameter 4-7-1 value is “Sens.”
•
Check the parameters 3-4-2 “Input 1” and 3-4-4 “Input 2”. When the values are equal to each other,
the calibration is done with only one load. Perform the calibration procedure as described in this
manual.
•
Check that the parameter 1-2-10 Ain1 value is between the parameters 3-4-2 and 3-4-4 value
-
If the parameter 1-2-10 value is ~9.8V
•
The signal wire hasn’t been connected to the Analog input 1 (the terminal 26)
•
The neutral wire is broken between the unit and the sensor.
•
Check the connections between the amplifier and strain gauge.
-
If the parameter 1-2-10 value is less than ~1V
•
The power signal wire (+10V) is broken between the unit and the sensor.
•
The strain gauge sensor is not connected to the amplifier.
•
Check the connections between the amplifier and strain gauge.
-
If the parameter 1-2-10 value is OK, but the load measure don’t work, then is possible that wires have been
connected crosswise.
•
Check the connections from the unit to the load sensor.
