Possible Causes or Remedies
1
Short Circuit
The motor circuit protector has tripped, or the internal wiring protection algorithm has detected an unsafe
current range. Try to reset the protector if tripped. If the condition continues, check the power wiring. This
fault cannot be disabled.
2
Overload trip
The load has drawn excessive current and based on the trip class selected, the device has tripped. Verify
that the load is operating correctly and the ArmorStart is properly set-up. This fault cannot be disabled.
3
Phase Loss
The ArmorStart has detected a missing phase. Verify that three-phase voltage is present at the line side
connections. This fault can be disabled and is disabled by default.

6
Control Power
The ArmorStart has detected a loss of the control power voltage. Check control voltage, wiring, and proper
polarity. Also, check and replace the control voltage fuse ,if necessary. This fault can be disabled and is
disabled by default.
7
I/O Fault
This error indicates a shorted sensor, shorted input device, wiring input mistakes, or a blown output fuse. If
this fault occurs, the offending problem should be isolated or removed prior to restarting the system. This
fault can be disabled and is disabled by default.
8
Over Temperature
This fault is generated when the operating temperature has been exceeded. This fault cannot be disabled.
9
Phase Imbalance
The ArmorStart has detected a voltage imbalance. Check the power system and correct if necessary. This
fault can be disabled and is disabled by default.
10
DNet Power Loss
DeviceNet power has been lost or has dropped below the 12V threshold. Check the state of the network
power supply and look for DeviceNet media problems. This fault can be disabled and is disabled by default.

13
EEPROM Fault
This is a major fault, which renders the ArmorStart inoperable. Possible causes of this fault are transients
induced during EEprom storage routines. If the fault was, initiated by a transient, power cycling should
clear the problem otherwise replacement of the ArmorStart may be required. This fault cannot be disabled.
14
Hardware Fault
This fault indicates that a serious hardware problem exists. Check for a base/starter module mismatch. If
no mismatch exists, the Armor Start may need to be replaced. (Hdw Flt is the factory-enabled default
setting.) This fault cannot be disabled.
