History

For reference, the last three fault codes are stored into parameters

0401, 0412, 0413. For the most recent fault (identified by
parameter 0401), the drive stores additional data (in parameters

0402 through 0411) to aid in troubleshooting a problem. For
example, a parameter 0404 stores the motor speed at the time of the

fault. To clear the fault history (all of Group 04, Fault History
parameters), follow these steps:

1. In the control panel, Parameters mode, select parameter

0401.

2. Press EDIT.
3. Press the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously.
4. Press SAVE.

Correcting Alarms

To correct alarms, first determine if the Alarm requires any

corrective action (action is not always required). Use Table 42 to
find and address the root cause of the problem.
If diagnostics troubleshooting has determined that the drive is

defective during the warranty period, contact ABB Automation
Inc., at 1--800--435--7365, option 4, option 3. A qualified

technician will review the problem with the caller and make a
determination regarding how to proceed. This may involve

dispatching a designated service station (DSS) representative from

an authorized station, dispatching a replacement unit, or advising
return for repair.

VFD Maintenance

If installed in an appropriate environment, the VFD requires very
little maintenance.
Table 43 lists the routine maintenance intervals recommended by

Carrier.

Heat Sink

The heat sink fins accumulate dust from the cooling air. Since a

dusty sink is less efficient at cooling the drive, overtemperature
faults become more likely. In a normal environment check the heat

sink annually, in a dusty environment check more often.
Check the heat sink as follows (when necessary):

1. Remove power from drive.
2. Remove the cooling fan.
3. Blow clean compressed air (not humid) from bottom to top

and simultaneously use a vacuum cleaner at the air outlet to

trap the dust. If there a risk of the dust entering adjoining
equipment, perform the cleaning in another room.

4. Replace the cooling fan.
5. Restore power.
