SERVICE TIPS FOR AUTHORIZED ENGINEER:
PROBLEM : If the unit is not power on.

SOLUTION : 1. Check the input supply.
2. Check the power cable.
PROBLEM : Nothing displayed on LCD (Blank).
SOLTION : 1. Check the controller IC (Micro 4011) was properly fixed or not.
2. Check the controller power supply.
PROBLEM : NO PWM pulses are going to SPM module.
SOLUTION : 1. Check the cable connected to VSPM-03 * board from the controller.
2. Check the optocoupler IC 4506 and IC4584 output (pulses are
coming properly or not).
3. Make sure the supply which is given to the VSPM-03 * board is
proper or not.
PROBLEM : No PWM pulses on output of SPM module.
SOLUTION : 1. Check the input PWM pulses of SPM.
2. Check the IGBT module which is in good condition.
3. Check the IGBT module that should be placed properly on Heat
sink.
PROBLEM : Speed is not displayed on LCD.
SOLUTION : 1.Output of speed sensor may not be connected (or properly) to
controller board.
2. Check the Speed feedback cable which is properly connected to both
Motor setup and our module.
3. Check the connections of 9 pin D connectors.
PROBLEM : Current is not displayed on LCD.
SOLUTION :
1. Check the current waveform at the front panel of VSPM-LCD-03 *.
If it is come as a DC voltage (from 2.5V-5V), The current sensor is at
working but the microcontroller is not read that ADC. So check the
microcontroller program.
2. Check the ADC input which is come to microcontroller board and
P7 FRC connector’s 2nd pin at VSPM-03* board.
3. If the ADC is not come on the microcontroller board, check the
cable & speed sensor output at 2nd pin of P7 connector at VSPM-03*
board.
4. If the speed sensor output may not be come, check the speed sensor
supply voltage which is properly come or not.
5. Current may be read as a 5.34 A, check the ADC cable which is
properly inserts or not.

PROBLEM : Output comes properly but the motor is not running.

SOLUTION : 1. Check the motor connections
2. Check whether the correct PWM method should be selected based
on the motor connection
PROBLEM : All options are selected but the motor not rotates, speed, current are not
measured & Displayed.
SOLUTION :
1.If u just press the RUN switch, the motor doesn’t get PWM. Long
press (say 3 sec.) the RUN switch.
2. After that also, motor not rotates. Check the current reading at LCD
display, if it is at 5.34A, fix the ADC cable properly and then press
RUN switch.
3. Check whether the over current occurs or not.
PROBLEM : Motor is not rotated properly (like zig zag movement)
SOLUTION : 1. Check the motor input is connected properly from VSPM-LCD-03*

unit.
2. Check the internal motor connection of motor setup. (Connection
diagram at page no. 8)
3. After that check the PWM, which is properly gives or not.
PROBLEM : Closed loop operation is not properly working.
SOLUTION : 1. Check the speed feedback cable
2. Connect/Check the EARTH point which is in back side of the unit
(VSPM-LCD-03 *) to motor setup by a wire.
PROBLEM : If SPM failure…
SOLUTION : 1. first analyze the reason for SPM failure.
- It may be affected from unwanted noise at PWM or PWM should not
be gives properly.
- The heat sink doesn’t fit properly.
- The output terminal of VSPM-03* board may be shorted by our
mistakes.
- Any unwanted materials like a piece of Lead may be fallen in SPM
terminal.
