LFF

4-20 mA Loss

Schneider Electric · Altivar 312 Variable Frequency Drive

What does LFF mean?

This fault occurs when the drive detects a loss of the 4-20 mA analog input signal, which is typically used for speed reference or feedback. This usually means a broken wire, a disconnected sensor, or a faulty analog signal source, causing the drive to lose its command reference and potentially stop or operate incorrectly. It can also be referred to as APL (4-20mA Loss).

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

  1. 3

    Measure the current directly at the drive's analog input terminals to confirm signal presence and value.

  2. 4

    Ensure the analog input configuration in the drive (e.g., input type, minimum/maximum values) matches the connected signal source.
