Do as the following after the VFD fault:
1. Check to ensure there is nothing wrong with the kepad. If not, please contact with the local INVT office.
2. If there is nothing wrong, please check P07 and ensure the corresponding recorded fault parameters to confirm the real state when the current fault occurs by all parameters.
3. See the following table for detailed solution and check the corresponding abnormal state.
4. Eliminate the fault and ask for relative help.
5. Check to eliminate the fault and carry out fault reset to run the VFD.
