VIA Signal Fault
Schindler · Altivar 212 Variable Frequency Drive
What does E-18 mean?
This fault signifies that the analog input signal at terminal VIA has dropped below the minimum level defined by parameter F633 ([Loss of VIA]), indicating a potential loss of speed reference signal or sensor input.
Common Causes
- The analog signal at terminal VIA is below the configured threshold.
- Incorrect setting of parameter F633 ([Loss of VIA]).
- Loss of signal from the sensor connected to VIA.
Repair Steps & Checklist
