Alarm Signal
The inverter alarm signal is active when a fault has
occurred and it is in the Trip Mode (refer to the
diagram at right). When the fault is cleared the
alarm signal becomes inactive.
We must make a distinction between the alarm
signal AL and the alarm relay contacts [AL0],
[AL1] and [AL2]. The signal AL is a logic
function, which you can assign to the open collec-
tor output terminals [11] or [12]. The relay is
dedicated to the function AL, thus the labeling of its terminals. Use an open collector
output (terminal [11] or [12]) for a low-current logic signal interface or to energize a
small relay (50 mA maximum). Use the relay output to interface to higher voltage and
current devices (10 mA minimum).

Description
05 AL Alarm Signal ON when an alarm signal has occurred and has not
been cleared
OFF when no alarm has occurred since the last
clearing of alarm(s)
Valid for outputs:
11, 12
Required settings: C_33
Notes:
When the alarm output is set to normally closed, a
time delay of less than 2 seconds occurs until the
contact is closed when the power is turned ON.
Terminals 11 and 12 are open collector outputs, so
the electric specifications of [AL] are different
from the contact output terminals [AL0], [AL1],
[AL2].
When the inverter power supply is turned OFF, the
alarm signal output is valid as long as the external
control circuit has power.
This signal output has the delay time (300 ms
nominal) from the fault alarm output.
The relay contact specifications are in Specifica-
tions of Control and Logic Connections” on
page 4–6. The contact diagrams for different condi-
tions are on the next page.
