Electric Shock Prevention
WARNING:
While power is on or when the inverter is running, do not open the front cover.
Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
Do not run the inverter with the front cover removed. Otherwise, you may access the exposed high-voltage terminals or the charging part of the circuitry and get an electric shock.
Even if power is off, do not remove the front cover except for wiring or periodic inspection. You may access the charged inverter circuits and get an electric shock.
Before starting wiring or inspection, check to make sure that the operation panel indicator is off, wait for at least 10 minutes after the power supply has been switched off, and check that there are no residual voltage using a tester or the like. The capacitor is charged with high voltage for some time after power off and it is dangerous.
This inverter must be earthed. Earthing must conform to the requirements of national and local safety regulations and electrical codes. (JIS, NEC section 250, IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable standards)
Any person who is involved in the wiring or inspection of this equipment should be fully competent to do the work.
Always install the inverter before wiring. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock or be injured.
Perform setting dial and key operations with dry hands to prevent an electric shock. Otherwise you may get an electric shock. Perform setting dial and key operations with dry hands to prevent an electric shock. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or pinching. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
Do not replace the cooling fan while power is on. It is dangerous to replace the cooling fan while power is on.
Do no
t touch the printed circuit board with wet hands. You may get an electric shock.

Fire Prevention
CAUTION:
Mount the inverter to non-combustible surface such as metal or concrete. Mounting
it to or near combustible material can cause a fire.
If the inverter has become faulty, switch off the inverter power. A continuous flow of large current could cause a fire.
When using a brake resistor, make up a sequence that will turn off power when an alarm signal is output. Otherwise, the brake resistor may excessively overheat due to damage of the brake transistor and such, causing a fire.
Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals P, N. This could cause a fire and destroy the inverter. The surface temperature of braking resistors can far exceed 100°C for brief periods. Make sure that there is adequate protection against accidental contact and a safe distance is maintained to other units and system parts.

Injury Prevention
CAUTION:
Apply only the voltage specified in the instruction manual to each terminal. Other-
wise, burst, damage, etc. may occur.
Ensure that the cables are connected to the correct terminals. Otherwise, burst, damage, etc. may occur.
Always make sure that polarity is correct to prevent damage, etc. Otherwise, burst, damage, etc. may occur.
While power is on or for some time after power-off, do not touch the inverter as it is hot and you may get burnt.
Additional Instructions
Also note the following points to prevent an accidental failure, injury, electric shock, etc.
Transportation and installation
CAUTION:
When carrying products, use correct lifting gear to prevent injury.
Do not stack the inverter boxes higher than the number recommended.
Ensure that installation position and material can withstand the weight of the inverter. Install according to the information in the instruction manual.
Do not install or operate the inverter if it is damaged or has parts missing. This can result in breakdowns.
When carrying the inverter, do not hold it by the front cover or setting dial; it may fall off or fail.
Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the product.
Check the inverter mounting orientation is correct.
Prevent other conductive bodies such as screws and metal fragments or other flammable substance such as oil from entering the inverter.
As the inverter is a precision instrument, do not drop or subject it to impact.
Use the inverter under the following environmental conditions. Otherwise, the inverter may be damaged

Wiring
CAUTION:
Do not install assemblies or components (e. g. power factor correction capacitors) on the inverter output side, which are not approved from Mitsubishi.
The direction of rotation of the motor corresponds to the direction of rotation commands (STF/STR) only if the phase sequence (U, V, W) is maintained.
Operation
WARNING:
When you have chosen the retry function, stay away from the equipment as it will
restart suddenly after an alarm stop.
The STOP/RESET key is valid only when the appropriate function setting has been made. Prepare an emergency stop switch separately.
Make sure that the start signal is off before resetting the inverter alarm. A failure to do so may restart the motor suddenly.
The inverter can be started and stopped via the serial port communications link or the field bus. However, please note that depending on the settings of the communications parameters it may not be possible to stop the system via these connections if there is an error in the communications system or the data line. In configurations like this it is thus essential to install additional safety hardware that makes it possible to stop the system in an emergency (e.g. controller inhibit via control signal, external motor contactor etc). Clear and unambiguous warnings about this must be posted on site for the operating and service staff.
The load used should be a three-phase induction motor only. Connection of anyother electrical equipment to the inverter output may damage the inverter as well as equipment.
Performing pre-excitation (LX signal and X13 signal) under torque control (real sensorless vector control) may start the motor running at a low speed even when the start command (STF or STR) is not input. The motor may run also at alow speed when the speed limit value = 0 with a start command input. Perform pre-excitation after making sure that there will be no problem in safety if the motor runs.
Do not modify the equipment.
Do not perform parts removal which is not instructed in this manual. Doing so may lead to fault or damage of the inverter.

CAUTION:
The electronic thermal relay function does not guarantee protection of the motor from overheating.
Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter input for frequent starting/stopping of the inverter.
Use a noise filter to reduce the effect of electromagnetic interference and follow the accepted EMC procedures for proper installation of frequency inverters. Oth­erwise nearby electronic equipment may be affected.
Take appropriate measures regarding harmonics. Otherwise this can endanger compensation systems or overload generators.
Use a motor designed for inverter operation. (The stress for motor windings is bigger than in line power supply).
When parameter clear or all clear is performed, set again the required parameters before starting operations. Each parameter returns to the initial value.
The inverter can be easily set for high-speed operation. Before changing its setting, fully examine the performances of the motor and machine.
The DC braking function of the frequency inverter is not designed to continuously hold a load. Use an electro-mechanical holding brake on the motor for this purpose.
Before running an inverter which had been stored for a long period, always perform inspection and test operation.
For prevention of damage due to static electricity, touch nearby metal before touching this product to eliminate static electricity from your body.

b
Diagnosis and Settings
CAUTION:
Before starting operation, confirm and adjust the parameters. A failure to do so
may cause some machines to make unexpected motions.
Emergency stop
CAUTION:
Provide a safety backup such as an emergency brake which will prevent the
machine and equipment from hazardous conditions if the inverter fails.
When the breaker on the inverter primary side trips, check for the wiring fault (short circuit), damage to internal parts of the inverter, etc. Identify the cause of the trip, then remove the cause and power on the breaker.
When the protective function is activated (i. e. the frequency inverter switches off with an error message), take the corresponding corrective action as described in the inverter manual, then reset the inverter, and resume operation.

Enclosure design Installation

2.4 Enclosure design

When an inverter enclosure is to be designed and manufactured, heat generated by contained equipment, etc., the environment of an operating place, and others must be fully considered to determine the enclosure structure, size and equipment layout. The inverter unit uses many semiconductor devices. To ensure higher reliability and long period of operation, operate the in­verter in the ambient environment that completely satisfies the equipment specifications.

2.4.1 Inverter installation environment

As the inverter installation environment should satisfy the standard specifications indicated in the following table, operation in any place that does not meet these conditions not only deteri­orates the performance and life of the inverter, but also causes a failure. Refer to the following points and take adequate measures.
Operating Condition FR-A740
LD (150%), ND (200%, initial
Ambient temperature
Ambient humidity 90% RH or less (non-condensing)
Atmosphere
Maximum altitude 1000m or less Vibration 5.9m/s² or less (2.9m/s² or less for the 04320 or more.)
value) and HD (250%) SLD (120%) 10°C to +40°C (non-freezing)
10°C to +50°C (non-freezing)
Indoors (free from corrosive gas, flammable gas, oil mist, dust and dirt)
Tab. 2-1: Environmental standard specifications of inverter
Temperature
The permissible ambient temperature of the inverter is between 10 and +50°C (when LD, ND or HD is set) or 10 and +40°C (when SLD is set). Always operate the inverter within this tem­perature range. Operation outside this range will considerably shorten the service lives of the semiconductors, parts, capacitors and others. Take the following measures so that the ambient temperature of the inverter falls within the specified range.
Measures against high temperature
– Use a forced ventilation system or similar cooling system. (Refer to page 2-9.)
– Install the enclosure in an air-conditioned electrical chamber. – Block direct sunlight. – Provide a shield or similar plate to avoid direct exposure to the radiated heat and wind
of a heat source.
– Ventilate the area around the enclosure well.
Measures against low temperature – Provide a space heater in the enclosure. – Do not power off the inverter. (Keep the start signal of the inverter off.)
Sudden temperature changes
2 - 6
– Select an installation place where temperature does not change suddenly. – Avoid installing the inverter near the air outlet of an air conditioner. – If temperature changes are caused by opening/closing of a door, install the inverter away
from the door.
