B.4
ASSERTION LEVEL AND THE EPM
The	TCF	drive	will	store	the	setting	of	Parameter	79	-	INPUT	ASSERTION	LEVEL	on	the	
EPM	 (like	 it	 does	 with	 all	 of	 the	 other	 parameters),	 but	 it	 will	 also	 store	 this	 information	
internally	as	a	safeguard	against	the	assertion	level	being	changed	accidentally	by	swapping	
EPMs .
The	P79	setting	stored	on	the	EPM	must	match	the	internally	stored	setting	or	the	drive	will	
trip	into	an	"A1"	fault	and	will	not	operate .	Therefore,	if	an	EPM	with	a	different	P79	setting	
is	installed	in	a	drive,	the	display	will	show	the	"A1"	fault	and	the	drive	will	not	operate .	The	
only	exception	to	this	is	if	the	EPM	was	just	programmed	using	the	EPM	Programmer,	and	
it	was	being	installed	in	a	drive	for	the	first	time .	In	this	case,	the	drive's	internal	assertion	
level	setting	will	change	to	match	the	EPM,	as	described	in	NOTE	1	in	section	B .3 .2,	and	no	
fault	would	occur .
WARNING!
Changing	 the	 assertion	 level	 of	 the	 digital	 inputs	 without	 reconfiguring	
the	 control	 wiring	 can	 cause	 the	 motor	 to	 start	 unexpectedly,	 resulting	 in	
equipment	damage	and/or	injury	to	personnel!	Be	sure	the	control	wiring	is	
correct	for	the	selected	assertion	level .
An "A1" fault can be cleared by one of the following methods:
1 . Perform a factory reset of the drive using Parameter 48 - PROGRAM
SELECTION .	This	will	change	the	assertion	level	setting	in	the	EPM	to	match	
the	internally	stored	setting .
2 . Power down the drive and install an EPM that has the same assertion level
setting as the internal setting .
3 . Power down the drive and install an EPM that has just been programmed with
the EPM Programmer .
4 . Change P79 to match the assertion level on the EPM . If the assertion level is
active-low,	and	needs	to	be	set	back	to	active-high,	please	contact	Lenze-AC	
Tech .
