I
= current measured on main winding (R)
RUN
I
= current measured on L/L1 (current drawn from mains)

Note: Unless the value of FLC is modified via Modbus, the default value of FLC = Ie.

The alarm will self-recover after 5 minutes.
• Check that the HDMS model is suitably rated for the motor.
• Check motor windings resistance to check if motor is damaged.
6
Excess ramp-up time
The HDMS limits the maximum motor start time to a maximum of 1 second. If the motor
does not reach full speed within this time, the HDMS will trigger this alarm.

The alarm will self-recover after 5 minutes.
• Check that the HDMS model is suitably rated for the motor.
• Check motor windings resistance to check if motor is damaged.
• Check for high pressure difference during start
• Check the mains voltage level during motor start. In case of too low voltage, the HDMS
might not supply enough current to start the load.
• Check that the run capacitor has the correct capacitance value according to manufac-
turer recommednations.
• Check that main (R) winding is connected properly.
7
Over-temperature
The HDMS is equipped with a NTC sensor. If the measured temperature ≥ 72ºC (and lower
than -30ºC) for ≥ 0.5 s the HDMS will trigger this alarm.
5 minutes
(or longer depending on the cooling time required for the temperature to settle to within the
permissible temperature limits)
5
The alarm will self-recover.
• Check that the HDMS surrounding temperature and ensure that there is enough ventila-
tion around it
• Check for sources with high heat dissipation
• Make sure that the number of starts per hour specified is not exceeded
