Symptom / Description

FAULT

The device displays a rotation error even though the program is paused or the motor should be stopped.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

The control board receives a tachometer rotation signal while the engine is supposed to be stationary. This may be due to a short circuit in the tachometer wiring or a fault on the electronic board.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED

1Perform a reset by unplugging the device. 2. Inspect the tachometer wiring for damage to the insulation that could cause a short circuit. 3. Test the tachometer for abnormal resistance values. 4. If the tachometer and its wiring are correct, the fault is on the control board.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols

!High-Voltage Safety Protocol & DC Bus: Wait at least 5 minutes after power cutoff to allow inverter DC bus capacitors (380V DC) to bleed down.
!Verify 0V DC across inverter filter capacitors before unplugging motor harness connectors.
!Keep hands clear of drive belt and pulleys during any manual rotation tng.

3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks

Slip off drive belt and spin drum/motor shaft by hand to check for roaring or seized ball bearings.
For universal motors: verify carbon brushes have at least 10mm remaining length and smooth contact faces.
Inspect motor suspension rubber mounts and drive belt tension/groove profile.
