I. Panel Function Introduction and Parameter Management Operations
1. Panel Function Introduction
The operation panel of the RiHong CHRH-G series inverter includes the following core buttons and indicators:
- RUN Key: Starts the inverter operation, defaulting to forward rotation.
- STOP/RESET Key: Stops the machine or resets faults.
- PRG Key: Enters parameter setting mode.
- ENTER Key: Saves parameter modifications.
- ▲/▼ Keys: Adjusts parameter values or switches monitoring items.
- ◄/► Keys: Modifies parameter digits or switches function groups.
- Analog Potentiometer: Manually adjusts frequency (requires setting the frequency reference channel to potentiometer mode).
LED Indicator Descriptions:
- Hz: Displays frequency unit.
- A/V: Displays current or voltage unit (green for current, red for voltage).
- ALM: Fault alarm indicator (red constantly lit or flashing).
- F/R: Rotation direction indicator (red for forward, green for reverse).

2. Parameter Factory Default Settings
Steps:
- Enter function code F0.13 (Parameter Initialization).
- Set to 1 (Restore factory settings, retaining motor parameters) or 2 (Restore all parameters).
- Press the ENTER key to confirm; the system will automatically exit after completion.
3. Parameter Encryption and Decryption
Encryption Setup:
- Enter function code FC.05 (User Password) and set a password (range: 10~65535).
- Set function code F0.14 (Parameter Write Protection) to 2 (Prohibit modification of all parameters).
Decryption Operation:
- After entering the correct password, set F0.14 to 0 or 1 to lift the protection.
4. Parameter Access Restrictions
Set access permissions via F0.14:
- 0: Allows modification of all parameters (in stop state).
- 1: Only allows modification of frequency-related parameters (F0.02~F0.08).
- 2: Completely prohibits modification of parameters.
II. External Terminal Forward/Reverse Control and Potentiometer Speed Regulation
1. External Terminal Forward/Reverse Control
Wiring Terminals:
- X1/X2/X3: Multi-function input terminals (default functions need redefinition).
- COM: Common terminal.
Parameter Settings:
- Set F0.01 (Operation Command Channel) to 1 (Terminal Control).
- Set F5.00 (X1 Function) to 12 (Forward Control) and F5.01 (X2 Function) to 13 (Reverse Control).
- The corresponding direction starts when the terminal is closed and stops when disconnected.
2. External Potentiometer Speed Regulation
Wiring Terminals:
- AI1: Analog Input 1 (0~10V/0~20mA).
- GND: Signal ground.
Parameter Settings:
- Set F0.02 (Frequency Reference Channel) to 4 (AI1 Analog Reference).
- Calibrate the AI1 input range via F6.00~F6.03 (default: 0~10V corresponds to 0~maximum frequency).
- Adjust the potentiometer to regulate the output frequency in real-time.
III. Fault Code Analysis and Solutions
Fault Code | Meaning | Possible Causes | Solutions |
---|---|---|---|
E001 | Acceleration Overcurrent | Acceleration time too short, sudden load change | Extend acceleration time, check load |
E005 | Deceleration Overvoltage | Deceleration time too short, inertial load | Extend deceleration time, install braking resistor |
E009 | Power Module Fault | Output short circuit, poor heat dissipation | Check motor wiring, clean air ducts |
E010 | Heatsink Overheating | High ambient temperature, fan failure | Improve ventilation, replace fan |
E013 | External Device Fault | External fault signal input | Check external device wiring |
E021 | Operation Time Limit Reached | Cumulative operation timeout | Contact dealer to lift restriction |
E022 | Output Phase Loss | Loose or broken motor wiring | Check U/V/W terminal connections |
General Fault Handling Steps:
- Press the STOP/RESET key to reset.
- Check monitoring parameters (d-21~d-28) to record the operating state during the fault.
- Adjust relevant parameters or check hardware connections according to the manual.

IV. Maintenance and Precautions
Daily Maintenance:
- Regularly clean the heat dissipation air ducts to ensure proper fan operation.
- Check terminal screws for looseness to avoid poor contact.
Insulation Testing:
- Disconnect all wiring, short-circuit the main circuit terminals, and test with a 500V megohmmeter.
- Do not perform insulation tests on control terminals.
Long-Term Storage:
- Store in a dry environment and power on every six months to activate electrolytic capacitors.
