Service Timer

What is the Service Timer ?

The Service Timer function defines the total number of run hours which must elapse before the service indicator output comes on.

Note

The Service Timer only counts time whilst running a motor, not from power on.

For hot environments, where the fan may be running whilst the drive is not running a motor, the Service Timer will not account for this time.

Setting the Service Timer

  1. Set P-59.1 - Service Time Interval to the desired time (in Hours)

  2. Check P0-57 matches the time set in P59.1. If not matching, set P-59.0 to 1: Reset Timer.

Resetting the Service Timer

  1. When the set time in P-59.1 elapses, set parameter P-59.0 to 1 to reset the timer back to 0.

The display will flash "SEr" alongside the chosen indication method (Relay or Digital Output), when the set time in P-59.1 has elapsed.

Note

  • P0-57 shows the numbers of Hours remaining until the next service.

  • P0-57 will show a negative value when service is overdue.

  1. Set P-18 to 16 - Service Timer

    Note

    When the value set in P-59.1 has elapsed the relay will now change state (Terminal C will close to Terminal NO)

  1. P-25.0 to 0 - Digital Output.

  2. Set P-25.1 to 16 - Service Indicator.

  3. Note

    When the value set in P-59.1 has elapsed the digital output (AD1) will have +24Vdc present.

Problem

Solution

Service Timer is not counting down whilst the drive is powered up.

The Service Timer will only count down when running a motor.

Will the Service timer be reset if a factory defaults is performed ?

Yes
