The GPD 506/P5 and GPD 515/G5 inverters can store up to (4) faults.
The GPD 515/G5 inverter has a fault trace that saves the drive status
at the time of the fault, and a fault history indicating elapsed time of
the stored faults.
The fault codes can be grouped into (3) categories:
Major Fault - Motor coasts to a stop, the fault is displayed on the
digital operator, and the fault relay is activated.
Minor Fault - Operation continues and the fault flashes on the
digital operator. The fault relay does not activate.
Parameter Setting Error - Inverter can’t run. The fault is
displayed on the digital operator, and the fault relay is not activated.
A complete list of fault codes may be found in the appendix.

Power Component Replacement
Incorrect Method for Replacement of Circuit Board Mounted Components
Large board-mounted components (input diodes, output IGBT’s, and power
modules) are not being correctly installed into small size inverters during repair.
The components are being soldered to the power board, before being mounted to
the heat sink.

Correct Method for Replacement of Circuit Board Mounted Components
The component must first be mounted to the heat sink. The power board should then
be installed into the inverter, over the top of the components. Then the components
should be soldered to the power board.
1. Mount components to heat sink
(include thermal compound)
2. Install power board
over components
3. Solder components to
