Safety precautions
Read this manual thoroughly before proceeding with installation, connections (wiring), operation, or
maintenance and inspection. Ensure you have sound knowledge of the device and familiarize
yourself with all safety information and precautions before proceeding to operate the inverter.
Safety precautions are classified into the following two categories in this manual.
Failure to heed the information indicated by this symbol may
lead to dangerous conditions, possibly resulting in death or
serious bodily injuries.
Failure to heed the information indicated by this symbol may
lead to dangerous conditions, possibly resulting in minor or
light bodily injuries and/or substantial property damage.
Failure to heed the information contained under the CAUTION title can also result in serious consequences. These safety precautions are of utmost importance and must be observed at all times.
Application
• FRENIC-Mini is designed to drive a three-phase induction motor. Do not use it for single-phase motors or for other purposes.
Fire or an accident could occur.
• FRENIC-Mini may not be used for a life-support system or other purposes directly related
to the human safety.
• Though FRENIC-Mini is manufactured under strict quality control, install safety devices for
applications where serious accidents or material losses are foreseen in relation to the
failure of it.
An accident could occur.
Installation
• Install the inverter on a nonflammable material such as metal.
Otherwise fire could occur.
• Do not place flammable matter nearby.
Doing so could cause fire.
ii
• Do not support the inverter by its terminal block cover during transportation.
Doing so could cause a drop of the inverter and injuries.
• Prevent lint, paper fibers, sawdust, dust, metallic chips, or other foreign materials from
getting into the inverter or from accumulating on the heat sink.
Otherwise, a fire or an accident might result.
• Do not install or operate an inverter that is damaged or lacking parts.
Doing so could cause fire, an accident or injuries.
• Do not get on a shipping box.
• Do not stack shipping boxes higher than the indicated information printed on those boxes.
Doing so could cause injuries.
Wiring
• When wiring the inverter to the power source, insert a recommended molded case circuit
breaker (MCCB) or residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)/a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) (with overcurrent protection) in the path of power lines. Use the
devices within the recommended current range.
• Use wires in the specified size.
• When wiring the inverter to the power supply of 500 kVA or more (50 kVA or more for the
single-phase 115 V class series of inverters), be sure to connect an optional DC reactor
(DCR).
Otherwise, fire could occur.
• Do not use one multicore cable in order to connect several inverters with motors.
• Do not connect a surge killer to the inverter's output (secondary) circuit.
Doing so could cause fire.
• Be sure to connect the grounding wires without fail.
Otherwise, electric shock or fire could occur.
• Qualified electricians should carry out wiring.
• Be sure to perform wiring after turning the power off.
• Ground the inverter following Class C or Class D specifications or national/local electric
code, depending on the input voltage of the inverter.
Otherwise, electric shock could occur.
• Be sure to perform wiring after installing the inverter body.
Otherwise, electric shock or injuries could occur.
• Ensure that the number of input phases and the rated voltage of the product match the
number of phases and the voltage of the AC power supply to which the product is to be
connected.
Otherwise fire or an accident could occur.
• Do not connect the power source wires to output terminals (U, V, and W).
• Do not insert a braking resistor between terminals P (+) and N (-), P1 and N (-), P (+) and
P1, DB and N (-), or P1 and DB.
Doing so could cause fire or an accident.
iii
• Generally, control signal wires are not reinforced insulation. If they accidentally touch any
of live parts in the main circuit, their insulation coat may break for any reasons. In such a
case, an extremely high voltage may be applied to the signal lines. Make a complete
remedy to protect the signal line from contacting any hot high voltage lines.
Doing so could cause an accident or electric shock.
• Wire the three-phase motor to terminals U, V, and W of the inverter, aligning phases each
other.
Otherwise injuries could occur.
• The inverter, motor and wiring generate electric noise. Take care of malfunction of the
nearby sensors and devices. To prevent the motor from malfunctioning, implement noise
control measures.
Otherwise an accident could occur.
Operation
• Be sure to install the terminal block cover before turning the power on. Do not remove the
cover while power is applied.
Otherwise electric shock could occur.
• Do not operate switches with wet hands.
Doing so could cause electric shock.
• If the retry function has been selected, the inverter may automatically restart and drive the
motor depending on the cause of tripping.
(Design the machinery or equipment so that human safety is ensured after restarting.)
• If the stall prevention function (current limiter), automatic deceleration, and overload
prevention control have been selected, the inverter may operate at an acceleration/deceleration time or frequency different from the set ones. Design the machine so that
safety is ensured even in such cases.
Otherwise an accident could occur.
• The STOP key is only effective when function setting (Function code F02) has been established to enable the STOP key. Prepare an emergency stop switch separately. If you
disable the STOP key priority function and enable operation by external commands, you
cannot emergency-stop the inverter using the STOP key on the built-in keypad.
• If an alarm reset is made with the operation signal turned on, a sudden start will occur.
Ensure that the operation signal is turned off in advance.
Otherwise an accident could occur.
iv
• If you enable the "restart mode after momentary power failure" (Function code F14 = 4 or
5), then the inverter automatically restarts running the motor when the power is recovered.
(Design the machinery or equipment so that human safety is ensured after restarting.)
• If you set the function codes wrongly or without completely understanding this instruction
manual and the FRENIC-Mini User's Manual, the motor may rotate with a torque or at a
speed not permitted for the machine.
An accident or injuries could occur.
• Do not touch the inverter terminals while the power is applied to the inverter even if the
inverter stops.
Doing so could cause electric shock.
• Do not turn the main circuit power on or off in order to start or stop inverter operation.
Doing so could cause failure.
• Do not touch the heat sink or braking resistor because they become very hot.
Doing so could cause burns.
• Setting the inverter to high speeds is easy. Before changing the frequency (speed) setting,
check the specifications of the motor and machinery.
• The brake function of the inverter does not provide mechanical holding means.
Injuries could occur.
Wiring length for EMC filter built-in type
• When the wiring length between the inverter and motor exceeds 33ft(10 m), the filter
circuit may be overheated and damaged due to increase of leakage current. To reduce the
leakage current, set the motor sound (carrier frequency) to 2 kHz or below with function
code F26.
Otherwise a failure could occur.
Installation and wiring of an option card
• Before installing an RS-485 Communications Card, turn off the power, wait more than five
minutes, and make sure, using a circuit tester or a similar instrument, that the DC link bus
voltage between the terminals P (+) and N (-) has dropped below a safe voltage (+25
VDC).
• Do not remove the terminal cover for the control circuits while power is applied, because
high voltage lines exist on the RS-485 Communications Card.
Failure to observe these precautions could cause electric shock.
v
• In general, sheaths and covers of the control signal cables and wires are not specifically
designed to withstand a high electric field (i.e., reinforced insulation is not applied).
Therefore, if a control signal cable or wire comes into direct contact with a live conductor of
the main circuit, the insulation of the sheath or the cover might break down, which would
expose the signal wire to a high voltage of the main circuit. Make sure that the control
signal cables and wires will not come into contact with live conductors of the main circuits.
Failure to observe these precautions could cause electric shock and/or an acci-
dent.
Maintenance and inspection, and parts replacement
• Turn the power off and wait for at least five minutes before starting inspection. Further,
check that the LED monitor is unlit, and check the DC link bus voltage between the P (+)
and N (-) terminals to be lower than 25 VDC.
Otherwise, electric shock could occur.
• Maintenance, inspection, and parts replacement should be made only by qualified persons.
• Take off the watch, rings and other metallic matter before starting work.
• Use insulated tools.
Otherwise, electric shock or injuries could occur.
Disposal
• Handle the inverter as an industrial waste when disposing of it.
Otherwise injuries could occur.
Others
• Never attempt to modify the inverter.
Doing so could cause electric shock or injuries.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Drawings in this manual may be illustrated without covers or safety shields for explanation of
detail parts. Restore the covers and shields in the original state and observe the description in
the manual before starting operation.
vi
Conformity to the Low Voltage Directive in the EU
If installed according to the guidelines given below, inverters marked with CE or TÜV are considered
as compliant with the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC.
1. The ground terminal G should always be connected to the ground. Do not use only a
residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)/a ground fault circuit interrupter(GFCI)*
as the sole method of electric shock protection. Be sure to use ground wires whose size is
greater than power supply lines.
* With overcurrent protection.
2. When used with the inverter, a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB), residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)/ a ground fault circuit interrupter(GFCI) or
magnetic contactor (MC) should conform to the EN or IEC standards.
3. When you use a residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)/ a ground fault circuit
interrupter(GFCI) for protection from electric shock in direct or indirect contact power lines
or nodes, be sure to install type Bof RCD/GFCI on the input (primary) of the inverter if the
power source is three-phase 230/460 V. For single-phase 230 V power supplies, use type A.
When you use no RCD/GFCI, take any other protective measure that isolates the electric
equipment from other equipment on the same power supply line using double or reinforced
insulation or that isolates the power supply lines connected to the electric equipment using
an isolation transformer.
4. The inverter should be used in an environment that does not exceed Pollution Degree 2
requirements. If the environment conforms to Pollution Degree 3 or 4, install the inverter in
an enclosure of IP54 or higher.
5. Install the inverter, AC or DC reactor, input or output filter in an enclosure with minimum
degree of protection of IP2X (Top surface of enclosure shall be minimum IP4X when it can
be easily accessed), to prevent human body from touching directly to live parts of these
equipment.
6. To make an inverter with no integrated EMC filter conform to the EMC directive, it is necessary to connect an external EMC filter to the inverter and install them properly so that the
entire equipment including the inverter conforms to the EMC directive.
7. Do not connect any copper wire directly to grounding terminals. Use crimp terminals with tin
or equivalent plating to connect them.
8. To connect the three-phase or single-phase 230 V class series of inverters to the power
supply in Overvoltage Category III or to connect the three-phase 460 V class series of inverters to the power supply in Overvoltage Category II or III, a supplementary insulation is
required for the control circuitry.
9. When using inverters at an altitude of more than 6600ft(2000m), note that the basic insulation applies to the insulation degree of the control circuitry. At an altitude of more than
9900ft(3000m), inverters cannot be used.
10. The power supply mains neutral has to be earthed for the three-phase 460 V class inverter.

Brake motors
When driving a 460 V general-purpose motor with an inverter
using extremely long wires, damage to the insulation of the
motor may occur. Use an output circuit filter (OFL) if necessary after checking with the motor manufacturer. Fuji motors
do not require the use of output circuit filters because of their
good insulation.
When the inverter is used to run a general-purpose motor, the
temperature of the motor becomes higher than when it is
operated using a commercial power supply. In the low-speed
range, the cooling effect will be weakened, so decrease the
output torque of the motor. If constant torque is required in the
low-speed range, use a Fuji inverter motor or a motor
equipped with an externally powered ventilating fan.
When an inverter-driven motor is mounted to a machine,
resonance may be caused by the natural frequencies of the
machine system.
Note that operation of a 2-pole motor at 60 Hz or higher may
cause abnormal vibration.
* The use of a rubber coupling or vibration dampening rubber
is recommended.
* Use the inverter's jump frequency control feature to skip the
resonance frequency zone(s).
When an inverter is used with a general-purpose motor, the
motor noise level is higher than that with a commercial power
supply. To reduce noise, raise carrier frequency of the inverter. Operation at 60 Hz or higher can also result in higher
noise level.
If the reference frequency is set to 120 Hz or more to drive a
high-speed motor, test-run the combination of the inverter
and motor beforehand to check for safe operation.
When driving an explosion-proof motor with an inverter, use a
combination of a motor and an inverter that has been approved in advance.
These motors have a larger rated current than general-purpose motors. Select an inverter whose rated output
current is greater than that of the motor.
These motors differ from general-purpose motors in thermal
characteristics. Set a low value in the thermal time constant
of the motor when setting the electronic thermal function.
For motors equipped with parallel-connected brakes, their
braking power must be supplied from the input (primary)
circuit. If the brake power is connected to the inverter's output
(secondary) circuit by mistake, the brake will not work.
Do not use inverters for driving motors equipped with series-connected brakes.

Protecting the
motor
If the power transmission mechanism uses an oil-lubricated
gearbox or speed changer/reducer, then continuous motor
operation at low speed may cause poor lubrication. Avoid
such operation.
It is necessary to take special measures suitable for this
motor type. Contact your Fuji Electric representative for details.
Single-phase motors are not suitable for inverter-driven variable speed operation. Use three-phase motors.
* Even if a single-phase power supply is available, us
three-phase motor as the inverter provides three-phase
output.
Use the inverter within the ambient temperature range from
-10 to +50C(14 to 122°F).
The heat sink and braking resistor of the inverter may be-
come hot under certain operating conditions, so install the
inverter on nonflammable material such as metal.
Ensure that the installation location meets the environmental
conditions specified in Chapter 2, Section 2.1 "Operating
Environment."
Install a recommended molded case circuit breaker (MCCB)
or residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)/a
ground fault circuit interrupter(GFCI)(with overcurrent protection) in the input (primary) circuit of the inverter to protect
the wiring. Ensure that the circuit breaker capacity is equivalent to or lower than the recommended capacity.
If a magnetic contactor (MC) is mounted in the inverter's
secondary circuit for switching the motor to commercial
power or for any other purpose, ensure that both the inverter
and the motor are completely stopped before you turn the MC
on or off.
Do not connect a magnet contactor united with a surge killer
to the inverter's secondary circuit.
Do not turn the magnetic contactor (MC) in the input (primary)
circuit on or off more than once an hour as an inverter failure
may result.
If frequent starts or stops are required during motor operation, use FWD/REV signals or the / keys.
The electronic thermal function of the inverter can protect the
motor. The operation level and the motor type (general-purpose motor, inverter motor) should be set. For
high-speed motors or water-cooled motors, set a small value
for the thermal time constant and protect the motor.
If you connect the motor thermal relay to the motor with a long
wire, a high-frequency current may flow into the wiring stray
capacitance. This may cause the relay to trip at a current
lower than the set value for the thermal relay. If this happens,
lower the carrier frequency or use the output circuit filter
(OFL).

occur, disabling motor operation.
Do not connect a surge killer to the inverter's secondary
circuit.
Use of a filter and shielded wires is typically recommended to
satisfy EMC directives.

500 V megger and follow the instructions contained in
Chapter 7, Section 7.4 "Insulation Test."
Control circuit
wiring length
When using remote control, limit the wiring length between
the inverter and operator box to 65ft (20m) or less and use

listed in the standard specifications table for the inverter.
When high starting torque is required or quick acceleration or
deceleration is required, select an inverter with a capacity
one size greater than the standard.
Select an inverter that meets the following condition:
Inverter rated current > Motor rated current
inside the inverter may be corroded by halogen compounds such as methyl bromide used in fumigation.
When packing an inverter alone for export, use a laminated veneer lumber (LVL).

Even if the humidity is within the specified requirements, avoid such places where the inverter will be
subjected to sudden changes in temperature that will cause condensation to form.
Precautions for temporary storage
(1) Do not leave the inverter directly on the floor.
(2) If the environment does not satisfy the specified requirements, wrap the inverter in an airtight
vinyl sheet or the like for storage.
(3) If the inverter is to be stored in an environment with a high level of humidity, put a drying agent
(such as silica gel) in the airtight package described in item (2).

1.4.2 Long-term storage
The long-term storage methods for the inverter vary largely according to the environment of the
storage site. General storage methods are described below.
(1) The storage site must satisfy the requirements specified for temporary storage.
However, for storage exceeding three months, the ambient temperature should be within the
range from -10 to +30 °C (14 to 86°F) .This is to prevent the electrolytic capacitors in the inverter
from deteriorating.
(2) The inverter must be stored in a package that is airtight to protect it from moisture. Include a
drying agent inside the package to maintain the relative humidity inside the package to within
70%.
(3) If the inverter has been installed in the equipment or control board at a construction site where it
may be subjected to humidity, dust or dirt, then remove the inverter and store it in a suitable
environment specified in Table 1.1.
Precautions for storage over 1 year
If the inverter will not be powered on for a long time, the property of the electrolytic capacitors may
deteriorate. Power the inverters on once a year and keep them on for 30 to 60 minutes. Do not
connect the inverters to motors or run the motor.

2.3.4 Wiring precautions
Follow the rules below when performing wiring for the inverter.
(1) Make sure that the source voltage is within the rated voltage range specified on the nameplate.
(2) Be sure to connect the power wires to the main circuit power input terminals L1/R, L2/S and
L3/T (for three-phase voltage input) or L1/L and L2/N (for single-phase voltage input) of the
inverter. If the power wires are connected to other terminals, the inverter will be damaged when
the power is turned on.
(3) Always connect the grounding terminal to prevent electric shock, fire or other disasters and to
reduce electric noise.
(4) Use crimp terminals covered with insulated sleeves for the main circuit terminal wiring to ensure
a reliable connection.
(5) Keep the power supply wiring (primary circuit) and motor wiring (secondary circuit) of the main
circuit, and control circuit wiring as far away as possible from each other.
• When wiring the inverter to the power source, insert a recommended molded case circuit
breaker (MCCB) or residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)/ a ground fault
circuit interrupter(GFCI)(with overcurrent protection) (with overcurrent protection) in the
path of power lines. Use the devices within the related current range.
• Use wires in the specified size.
Otherwise, fire could occur.
• Do not use one multicore cable in order to connect several inverters with motors.
• Do not connect a surge killer to the inverter's output (secondary) circuit.
Doing so could cause fire.
• Be sure to connect the grounding wires without fail.
Otherwise, electric shock or fire could occur.
• Qualified electricians should carry out wiring.
• Be sure to perform wiring after turning the power off.
• Ground the inverter following Class C or Class D specifications or national/local electric
code, depending on the input voltage of the inverter.
Otherwise, electric shock could occur.
• Be sure to perform wiring after installing the inverter body.
Otherwise, electric shock or injuries could occur.
• Ensure that the number of input phases and the rated voltage of the product match the
number of phases and the voltage of the AC power supply to which the product is to be
connected.
Otherwise, fire or an accident could occur.
• Do not connect the power source wires to output terminals (U, V, and W).
• Do not connect a braking resistor to between terminals P (+) and N (-), P1 and N (-), P (+)
and P1, DB and N (-), or P1 and DB.
Doing so could cause fire or an accident.
