Abstract: When many customers use G120XA FSH-J power section products for 
the first time, F7862 alarm will appear after power on operation. Preliminary 
inspection shows that there is no obvious abnormality in wiring, and it is impossible 
to locate the cause of the problem when they are not familiar with the product.

1、Fault analysis 

                              Date: 2019-12-11          DF MC SNC CSA TCC 
As shown in the figures above, the reason of the appearance of F7862, 
according to the user manual of G120XA, is that the input signal of the  
signal source r402.1 of external fault 3 is low, and the state of r4022.0~3 is 
controlled by X9 terminal. Therefore, when F7862 fault occurs, it is 
necessary to confirm whether X9 terminal has been correctly connected!

2. G120XA FAH-J X9 terminal function 
Terminal strip X9 is used to connect external 24V DC power supply and 
main contactor or bypass contactor. 
To connect the terminal strip X9, remove the front cover of the converter. Its 
DIs can be connected with fault signal and alarm signal. 
When the converter is connected to the power supply through the main 
contactor, it is necessary to connect the external 24V DC power supply. 
The power supply must be near the converter (such as in the same control 
cabinet), and the cable length to terminal block X9 shall not exceed 5 
meters.

Floating potential 
For feeders with contactless 
outputs (e.g.4A/250V fuses), a 
protection device is required to 
prevent overload and short 
circuit. 
The overvoltage limiter must be 
connected to the excitation coil 
of the main contactor (e.g. RC 
circuit).

Note: 
1)The input is low level active 
All signal inputs are low level active (anti break). 
2)Terminal 3~6 not used 
When terminal 3~6 is not in use, DC 24V must be applied. To do this, use an external 
power supply or terminal 9 on the control unit. Terminal 2 and 7 with reference potential 
X9 and terminal 28 on the control unit. Refer to terminals 2 and 7 with potential X9 and 
terminal 28 on the control unit. 
3)Main contactor control 
When power is supplied to the main contactor via terminals 11 and 12, it is not necessary 
to disconnect from the power supply system via the control transformer. 250V/8A fuse 
must be used as protection measure. 
4)Strain relief 
The cables for the control unit and terminal X9 must be fixed to the terminal block in the 
cable channel under terminal X9 for strain relief. If the cable is introduced into the cable 
channel from the side (at the height of terminal X9), the strain relief must be performed 
outside the power module. 
5)Wiring standard

3、Troubleshooting 
1.  According to the actual use requirements, the wiring should be correct to 
ensure that r4022.03 input is high when there is no abnormal external 
alarm/alarm and emergency stop signal. 
2.  If the current hardware wiring cannot be completed, the alarm can be 
shielded by setting parameters. Since pins 3 to 6 on X9 terminal correspond 
to external alarm 3, external fault 3, emergency stop category 1 and 
emergency stop category 2 respectively, all the 4 corresponding bic0 
parameters need to be set high. The specific settings are as follow: 
BI: set the signal source of external alarm 3. 
BI: set the signal source of external fault 3. 
BI: no fast stop/ fast stop (OFF3) signal source 2/
