Figure 3-2).
Wiring should be implemented in accordance with
the following procedures. If these procedures dis-
agree with local electrical codes, the local codes
should be followed instead. After completing wiring,
check that all wires have been properly connected.
CAUTION:
Incorrect wiring mav cause damaae to

GROUND CONNECTIONS
GROUND TERMINAL CONNECTIONSCONTROL CIRCUIT WIRING
It is necessary to provide grounding in order to pro-
tect against an electral shock due to leakage and to
reduce the effects of electrical ‘noise”. (See Figure 4-
7.1
Preferably, each inverter or other piece of equipment
should be grounded individually. If this is not possible, the alternative method is common grounding
where the ground wire from each piece of equipment
is connected at the ground point.
NOTE: The ground wire should be as large a gauge
as possible and the length should be kept as short as
possible.
Avoid grounding method where the ground wire is
used in common with other equipment i.e., do not
daisv chain around
connections.
Perform all control wiring in accordance with the
following applicable subparagraphs (and referenced
Figures) and the applicable circuit as shown in Figures 4-15 to 4-26 (located at the end of this Section).
Refer to TABLE 2for terminal descriptions and TABLE
3 for wire sizing.

It is recommended to use the optional relay output
unit when using these output signals, however it is
possible to use a customer furnished power supply
and relays. The open collector outputs are “sink

Surge Suppressor Connection
When a magnetic coil actuated device such as a
starter, control relay, solenoid valve, etc., opens and
closes, the current will sharply fluctuate resulting in a
voltage spike (or noise). In some instances this
voltage spike can cause misoperation of the electrical circuits of the inverter and other peripheral equip-
ment. A surge suppressor should be connected
across all magnetic coils connected to the inverter, as
well as across all magnetic coils with supply wiring
running parallel with inverter wiring. Wiring should be
kept as short as possible (8 inches

After mounting and wiring has been completed, check
the inverterfor the following items before applying AC
power:
--
Check for wiring errors (especially main circuit
wiring).
-- Verify that there are no wiring chips, screws,
etc. remaining in the inverter.
--
Check that all screw and terminal connections
are tight.
--
Verify that no exposed wire ends are touching
other terminals.
Before a test run is performed,
understand the operation of the Keypad Panel as
described in the following charts and paragraphs.
Refer to Trial Operation ’ paragraph near the end of
this Section for recommended procedures.

KEYPAD PANEL IDENTIFICATION/
FUNCTION
The Keypad Panel is installed on the front panel of the
inverter and is used for data display and Function
Code setting and modifications. The inverter is operated with the Function Codes set by this Keypad
Panel and by external operation/control commands.
Also, FORWARD/STOP and REVERSE/STOP can be
input and the reference frequency can be set from the
Keypad Panel. A Mode Change Switch is also provided to switch operation between LOCAL (Keypad
Panel) and REMOTE (control circuit terminals). See

FAULT INDICATION AND RETRIEVAL
When a fault occurs, the mode is automatically switched
to the Fault Monitoring mode. The fault Function
Code will be displayed in the Function Display, the
number (in order) and type of fault will be shown in the
Data Display (blinking), and the Function Selection
LED for the first digit of the Function Code will be lit.
The fault indication function is composed of the fol-
lowing three parts:
1.
Indication of present fault.
2.
Indication of operating conditions at the time that
the fault took place.
3. Indication of previous faults.
If the fault is a multiple fault, indication can be re-
trieved in the order of occurence (up to seven faults)
by Function Code
In addition, the operating conditions at the time of the
first fault can be indicated by Function Codes
through
F4
(only for present fault; after RESET, this
information is lost).
Also, the first fault for the past three fault trips can be
indicated by F5 through

Function 47 Operation By Signal Polarity
This function enables the direction of motor rotation to be changed according to the polarity
(+, -)
of the frequency setting voltage.
To operate the inverter with an external frequency
setter, turn on the switch between terminals FWD
and CM. Apply a positive voltage (+ 10 VDC) to
terminal Vl to turn the motor in the forward direction, or apply a negative voltage to the terminal to
turn it in the reverse dirction.
If the switch between terminals REV and CM is on,
a positive voltage applied to terminal
Vi
turns the
motor in the reverse direction and a negative voltage to the terminal turns it in the forward direction.
This means that the motor rotation direction can be
changed simply by changing the polarity of the
setting voltage.

obtain as much fault information as possible before
resetting the inverter to resume operation. Also
record the date, time, and any information about
the machine operation prior to the fault. This will
help in determining the cause more quickly.

If anything is found, take corrective action as soon
as possible.
--
If the inverter is to be kept in operation before cor-
rections can be made, record details of the problem for future reference.

Periodic Inspections
Periodic inspection intervals will vary per the inverter
application (bi-monthly, semi-annualy, annually, etc.).
Pick an interval that best suits the particular applica-
tion, but do not ignore the inspections entirely.
For periodic inspections, remove the inverter cover
and check the inverter for any abnormal items as per
the daily inspections, plus the following:
-- Check all internal screws/connections.
-- Check the DC Link capacitor for any leakage or
swelling.
-- Check relay contacts for roughness.
--
Check all wires and conductors for any deforma-
tion or heat damage/deterioration.
-- Check resistor insulation for cracks.
--
Verify output voltage of each phase.

MEASUREMENT POINTS AND METERS
Since the inverter input/output voltage and current
contains high frequencies, selection of the wrong
measuring device can lead to gross miscalculations.

When using a CT (current-detection transformer) to
measure the current, the amount of error will be large
if the frequency is low. Because of this, always use a
CT with as large a capacity as possible. See the following chart and Figure 7-2 for recommended measurement devices.

FAULT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
Provides restriction of the output current when the inverter reaches the
current limit level.
--
Operation will be kept on for 15 msec at full load in case of power
failure. (At light load, operating time may be slightly longer.)
--
When the DC Link goes below the under-voltage level, the inverter will
stop output
When the output current of the inverter reaches the overcurrent protection
level, the inverter will stop output and hold the fault trip (motor coasts to
stop).
OCI :Overcurrent during acceleration.
OC2:
OC3:Overcurrent during constant speed.
Ground faults are detected by the ground fault detection unit (standard
equipment).
NOTE:
For prevention of personnel injury, efc, a leak-proof relay, should be
connected separately.
When the DC Link voltage reaches the overvoltage protection level,
the inverter will stop output and hold the fault trip (motor coasts to stop).
When overload operation exceeds the overload limit (inverse time
characteristic) of the invetter, the inverter will stop output and hold the fault
trip (motor coasts to stop).
If the temperature of the inverter unit is too high, the inverter will stop output
and hold the fault trip (motor coasts to stop).
When only one motor is driven, overload can be detected without an
external thermal device. Since reduction in the cooling effect at low speed
is taken into account, protection over a wide operation range can be
provided. When overload operation exceeds the electronic thermal overload
setting (inverse time characteristic) the inverter will stop output and hold the
fault trip (motor coasts to stop).
