This instruction manual (Basic) provides handling information and precautions for use of the equipment. Please forward this instruction manual (Basic) to the end user.

This section is specifically about safety matters

Do not attempt to install, operate, maintain or inspect the inverter until you have read through this instruction manual (Basic) and appended documents carefully and can use the equipment correctly. Do not use the inverter until you have a full knowledge of the equipment, safety information and instructions. In this instruction manual (Basic), the safety instruction levels are classified into "WARNING" and "CAUTION".

WARNING

CAUTION

Note that even the level may lead to a serious consequence according to conditions. Please follow strictly the instructions of both levels

because they are important to personnel safety.

1. Electric Shock Prevention

• 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 or wiring 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 (grounded). Earthing (Grounding) must conform to

the requirements of national and local safety regulations and electrical codes. (NEC section 250, IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable standards) Use a neutral-point earthed (grounded) power supply for 400V class inverter in compliance with EN standard.

• 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.

• 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 not touch the printed circuit board with wet hands. You may get an electric shock.

•

• When measuring the main circuit capacitor capacity, the DC voltage is applied to

the motor for 1s at powering off. Never touch the motor terminal, etc. right after powering off to prevent an electric shock.

2. Fire Prevention

• Install the inverter on a nonflammable wall without holes (so that nobody can

touch the inverter heatsink on the rear side, etc.). 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.

3. Injury Prevention

• Apply only the voltage specified in the instruction manual to each terminal.

Otherwise, 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.

4. Additional Instructions

Also note the following points to prevent an accidental failure, injury, electric shock, etc.

(1) Transportation and installation

• 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.

Surrounding air temperature -10°C to +50°C (non-freezing) Ambient humidity 90% RH or less (non-condensing) Storage temperature -20°C to +65°C

Atmosphere

Altitude, vibration

Environment

*1 Temperature applicable for a short time, e.g. in transit.

Assumes that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.

Assumes that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in medium or slight injury, or may cause physical damage only.

CAUTION

WARNING

CAUTION

Indoors (free from corrosive gas, flammable gas, oil mist, dust and dirt)

Maximum 1000m above sea level for standard operation. 5.9m/s

or less

(3) Test operation and adjustment

• Before starting operation, confirm and adjust the parameters. A failure to do so

may cause some machines to make unexpected motions.

(4) Operation

• When you have chosen the retry function, stay away from the equipment as it

will restart suddenly after an alarm stop.

• Since pressing key may not stop output depending on the function setting

status (refer to page 109), provide a circuit and switch separately to make an emergency stop (power off, mechanical brake operation for emergency stop, etc).

• Make sure that the start signal is off before resetting the inverter alarm. A failure

to do so may restart the motor suddenly.

• The load used should be a three-phase induction motor only. Connection of any

other 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 a low 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.

• The electronic thermal relay function does not guarantee protection of the motor

from overheating. It is recommended to install both an external thermal and PTC thermistor for overheat protection.

• Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter input for frequent starting/

stopping of the inverter. Otherwise, the life of the inverter decreases.

• Use a noise filter to reduce the effect of electromagnetic interference. Otherwise

nearby electronic equipment may be affected.

• When a 400V class motor is inverter-driven, please use an insulation-enhanced

motor or measures taken to suppress surge voltages. Surge voltages attributable to the wiring constants may occur at the motor terminals, deteriorating the insulation of the motor.

• When parameter clear or all clear is performed, reset 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.

• In addition to the inverter's holding function, install a holding device to ensure

safety.

• 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.

(5) Emergency stop

• 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 input 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, take the corresponding corrective

action, then reset the inverter, and resume operation.

CAUTION

WARNING

CAUTION

(6) Maintenance, inspection and parts replacement

CAUTION

• Do not carry out a megger (insulation resistance) test on the control circuit of the

inverter. It will cause a failure.

(7) Disposing of the inverter

CAUTION

• Treat as industrial waste.

General instructions

Many of the diagrams and drawings in this instruction manual show the inverter without a cover, or partially open. Never run the inverter in this status. Always replace the cover and follow this instruction manual when operating the inverter.

(2) Wiring

• Do not install a power factor correction capacitor or surge suppressor/radio

noise filter (capacitor type filter) on the inverter output side. The device on the inverter output side may be overheated or burn out.

• The connection orientation of the output cables U, V, W to the motor will affect

the direction of rotation of the motor.

CAUTION

REMARKS

For removal and reinstallation of covers, refer to page 4.

Harmonic suppression guideline (when inverters are used in Japan) All models of general-purpose inverters used by specific consumers are covered by "Harmonic suppression guideline for consumers

who receive high voltage or special high voltage". (For details, refer to page 39 .)

Inverter and peripheral devices

1.2 Inverter and peripheral devices

Three-phase AC power supply

Use within the permissible power supply specifications of the inverter.

(Refer to page 174)

Moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB) or earth leakage circuit breaker (ELB), fuse

The breaker must be selected carefully since an in-rush current flows in the inverter at power on.

(Refer to page 3)

Magnetic contactor (MC)

Install the magnetic contactor to ensure safety. Do not use this magnetic contactor to start and stop the inverter. Doing so will cause the inverter life to be shorten.

(Refer to page 3)

Inverter (FR-A701)

The life of the inverter is influenced by surrounding air temperature. The surrounding air temperature should be as low as possible within the permissible range. This must be noted especially when the inverter is installed in an enclosure. (Refer to page 6) Wrong wiring might lead to damage of the inverter. The control signal lines must be kept fully away from the main circuit to protect them from noise.(Refer to page 12)

Noise filter (FR-BLF)

Install a noise filter to reduce the electromagnetic noise generated from the inverter. Effective in the range from about 1MHz to 10MHz. When more wires are passed through, a more effective result can be obtained. The total number of wires passed through should be 4T or more.

Capacitor type filter (FR-BIF)

Reduces the radio noise.

Devices connected to the output

Do not install a power factor correction capacitor, surge suppressor or radio noise filter on the output side of the inverter. When installing a moulded case circuit breaker on the output side of the inverter, contact each manufacturer for selection of the moulded case circuit breaker.

Earth (Ground)

To prevent an electric shock, always earth (ground) the motor and inverter.

R/L1 S/L2 T/L3

Earth

(Ground)

UWV

Earth (Ground)

Noise filter (FR-BLF)

Install a noise filter to reduce the electromagnetic noise generated from the inverter. Effective in the range from about 1MHz to 10MHz. A wire should be wound four turns at a maximum.

Motor

CAUTION

Do not install a power factor correction capacitor, surge suppressor or radio noise filter on the inverter output side. This will cause the inverter to trip or the capacitor, and surge suppressor to be damaged. If any of the above devices are connected, immediately remove them.

· This inverter has a built-in AC reactor (FR-HAL) and a circuit type specified in Harmonic suppression guideline in Japan is threephase bridge (capacitor smoothed) and with reactor (AC side). (Refer to page 39) Do not use an AC reactor (FR-HAL) of a standalone option except following purpose. (Note that overload protection of the converter may operate when a thyristor load is connected in the power supply system. To prevent this, always install an optional stand-alone AC reactor (FR-HAL).) A DC reactor (FR-HEL) can not be connected to the inverter.

· Electromagnetic wave interference The input/output (main circuit) of the inverter includes high frequency components, which may interfere with the communication devices (such as AM radios) used near the inverter. In this case, connecting a capacitor type filter will reduce electromagnetic wave interference.

· Refer to the instruction manual of each option and peripheral devices for details of peripheral devices.

Inverter and peripheral devices

1.2.1 Peripheral devices

Installation of the inverter and enclosure

design

1.4 Installation of the inverter and 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.

1.4.1 Inverter installation environment

The inverter consists of precision mechanical and electronic parts. Never install or handle it in any of the following conditions as doing so could cause an operation fault or failure.

Direct sunlight

Vertical mounting (When installing two or more inverters, install them in parallel.)

Vibration (5.9m/s2 or more)

Transportation by holding the front cover

High temperature, high humidity

Oil mist, flammable gas, corrosive gas, fluff, dust, etc.

Horizontal placement

Mounting to combustible material

As the inverter installation environment should satisfiy 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.

Installation of the inverter and enclosure

design

(1) Temperature

The permissible surrounding air temperature of the inverter is between -10°C and +50°C. 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 surrounding air temperature of the inverter falls within the specified range.

1)Measures against high temperature

• Use a forced ventilation system or similar cooling system. (Refer to page 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.

2)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.)

3)Sudden temperature changes

• 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.

(2) Humidity

Normally operate the inverter within the 45 to 90% range of the ambient humidity. Too high humidity will pose problems of reduced insulation and metal corrosion. On the other hand, too low humidity may produce a spatial electrical breakdown. The insulation distance specified in JEM1103 "Control Equipment Insulator" is defined as humidity 45 to 85%.

1)Measures against high humidity

• Make the enclosure enclosed, and provide it with a hygroscopic agent.

• Take dry air into the enclosure from outside.

• Provide a space heater in the enclosure.

2)Measures against low humidity What is important in fitting or inspection of the unit in this status is to discharge your body (static electricity) beforehand and keep your body from contact with the parts and patterns, besides blowing air of proper humidity into the enclosure from outside.

3)Measures against condensation Condensation may occur if frequent operation stops change the in-enclosure temperature suddenly or if the outsideair temperature changes suddenly. Condensation causes such faults as reduced insulation and corrosion.

• Take the measures against high humidity in 1).

• Do not power off the inverter. (Keep the start signal of the inverter off.)

OUTLINE

(3) Dust, dirt, oil mist

Dust and dirt will cause such faults as poor contact of contact points, reduced insulation or reduced cooling effect due to moisture absorption of accumulated dust and dirt, and in-enclosure temperature rise due to clogged filter. In the atmosphere where conductive powder floats, dust and dirt will cause such faults as malfunction, deteriorated insulation and short circuit in a short time. Since oil mist will cause similar conditions, it is necessary to take adequate measures.

Countermeasures

• Place in a totally enclosed enclosure. Take measures if the in-enclosure temperature rises. (Refer to page 9.)

• Purge air. Pump clean air from outside to make the in-enclosure pressure higher than the outside-air pressure.

Installation of the inverter and enclosure

design

(4) Corrosive gas, salt damage

If the inverter is exposed to corrosive gas or to salt near a beach, the printed board patterns and parts will corrode or the relays and switches will result in poor contact. In such places, take the measures given in Section (3).

(5) Explosive, flammable gases

As the inverter is non-explosion proof, it must be contained in an explosion proof enclosure. In places where explosion may be caused by explosive gas, dust or dirt, an enclosure cannot be used unless it structurally complies with the guidelines and has passed the specified tests. This makes the enclosure itself expensive (including the test charges). The best way is to avoid installation in such places and install the inverter in a non-hazardous place.

(6) Highland

Use the inverter at the altitude of within 1000m. If it is used at a higher place, it is likely that thin air will reduce the cooling effect and low air pressure will deteriorate dielectric strength.

(7) Vibration, impact

The vibration resistance of the inverter is up to 5.9m/s2 at 10 to 55Hz frequency and 1mm amplitude. Vibration or impact, if less than the specified value, applied for a long time may make the mechanism loose or cause poor contact to the connectors. Especially when impact is imposed repeatedly, caution must be taken as the part pins are likely to break.

Countermeasures

• Provide the enclosure with rubber vibration isolators.

• Strengthen the structure to prevent the enclosure from resonance.

• Install the enclosure away from sources of vibration.

1.4.2 Cooling system types for inverter enclosure

From the enclosure that contains the inverter, the heat of the inverter and other equipment (transformers, lamps, resistors, etc.) and the incoming heat such as direct sunlight must be dissipated to keep the in-enclosure temperature lower than the permissible temperatures of the in-enclosure equipment including the inverter. The cooling systems are classified as follows in terms of the cooling calculation method.

1) Cooling by natural heat dissipation from the enclosure surface (Totally enclosed type)

2) Cooling by heat sink (Aluminum heatsink, etc.)

3) Cooling by ventilation (Forced ventilation type, pipe ventilation type)

4) Cooling by heat exchanger or cooler (Heat pipe, cooler, etc.)

(4) Above the inverter

Heat is blown up from inside the inverter by the small fan built in the unit. Any equipment placed above the inverter should be heat resistant.

(5) Arrangement of multiple inverters

When multiple inverters are placed in the same enclosure, generally arrange them horizontally as shown in the figure below (a). When it is inevitable to arrange them vertically to minimize space, take such measures as to provide guides since heat from the bottom inverters can increase the temperatures in the top inverters, causing inverter failures.

When mounting multiple inverters, fully take caution not to make the surrounding air temperature of the inverter higher than the permissible value by providing ventilation and increasing the enclosure size.

(6) Placement of ventilation fan and inverter

Heat generated in the inverter is blown up from the bottom of the unit as warm air by the cooling fan. When intalling a ventilation fan for that heat, determine the place of ventilation fan installation after fully considering an air flow. (Air passes through areas of low resistance. Make an airway and airflow plates to expose the inverter to cool air.)

Use a larger diameter cable when the wiring distance is long or when it is desired to decrease the voltage drop (torque reduction) in the low speed range.

CAUTION

· Tighten the terminal screw to the specified torque. A screw that has been tighten too loosely can cause a short circuit or malfunction. A screw that has been tighten too tightly can cause a short circuit or malfunction due to the unit breakage.

· Use crimping terminals with insulation sleeve to wire the power supply and motor.

(2) Notes on earthing (grounding)

z Always earth (ground) the motor and inverter.

1)Purpose of earthing (grounding) Generally, an electrical apparatus has an earth (ground) terminal, which must be connected to the ground before use. An electrical circuit is usually insulated by an insulating material and encased. However, it is impossible to manufacture an insulating material that can shut off a leakage current completely, and actually, a slight current flow into the case. The purpose of earthing (grounding) the case of an electrical apparatus is to prevent operator from getting an electric shock from this leakage current when touching it. To avoid the influence of external noises, this earthing (grounding) is important to audio equipment, sensors, computers and other apparatuses that handle low-level signals or operate very fast.

2)Earthing (grounding) methods and earthing (grounding) work As described previously, earthing (grounding) is roughly classified into an electrical shock prevention type and a noise-affected malfunction prevention type. Therefore, these two types should be discriminated clearly, and the following work must be done to prevent the leakage current having the inverter's high frequency components from entering the malfunction prevention type earthing (grounding):

(a) Where possible, use independent earthing (grounding) for the inverter. If independent earthing (grounding) (I)

is impossible, use joint earthing (grounding) (II) where the inverter is connected with the other equipment at an earthing (grounding) point. Joint earthing (grounding) as in (III) must be avoided as the inverter is connected with the other equipment by a common earth (ground) cable. Also a leakage current including many high frequency components flows in the earth (ground) cables of the inverter and inverter-driven motor. Therefore, they must use the independent earthing (grounding) method and be separated from the earthing (grounding) of equipment sensitive to the aforementioned noises. In a tall building, it will be a good policy to use the noise malfunction prevention type earthing (grounding) with steel frames and carry out electric shock prevention type earthing (grounding) in the independent earthing (grounding) method.

(b) This inverter must be earthed (grounded). Earthing (Grounding) must conform to the requirements of national

and local safety regulations and electrical codes. (NEC section 250, IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable standards). Use a neutral-point earthed (grounded) power supply for 400V class inverter in compliance with EN standard.

indicated in the table on the previous page.

(d) The grounding point should be as near as possible to the inverter, and the ground wire length should be as

short as possible.

(e) Run the earth (ground) cable as far away as possible from the I/O wiring of equipment sensitive to noises and

run them in parallel in the minimum distance.

(ground) cable should be of not less than the size

(3) Total wiring length

The overall wiring length for connection of a single motor or multiple motors should be within 500m. (The wiring length should be 100m maximum for vector control.)

Total wiring length

500m or less

300m

300m + 300m = 600m

When driving a 400V class motor by the inverter, surge voltages attributable to the wiring constants may occur at the motor terminals, deteriorating the insulation of the motor. Refer to page 42 for measures against deteriorated insulation.

CAUTION

· Especially for long-distance wiring, the inverter may be affected by a charging current caused by the stray capacitances of the wiring, leading to a malfunction of the overcurrent protective function or fast response current limit function or a malfunction or fault of the equipment connected on the inverter output side. If fast response current limit function malfunctions, disable this function.

(For Pr. 156 Stall prevention operation selection, refer to chapter 4 of the instruction manual (applied).) For explanation of surge voltage suppression filter (FR-ASF-H), refer to the manual of each option.

· Do not perform vector control with a surge voltage suppression filter (FR-ASF-H) connected.

· Do not turn off the control power (terminals R1/L11 and S1/L21) with the main circuit power (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3) on. Doing so may damage the inverter. Make up a circuit which will switch off the main circuit power supply terminals R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 when the control circuit power supply terminals R1/L11, S1/L21 are switched off.

· Be sure to use the inverter with the jumpers across terminals R/L1-R1/L11 and S/L2-S1/L21 removed when supplying power from other sources. The inverter may be damaged if you do not remove the jumper.

· The voltage should be the same as that of the main control circuit when the control circuit power is supplied from other than the primary side of the MC.

· When separate power is supplied from R1/L11 and S1/L21, the power capacity necessary for the 15K or less is 90VA, for the

18.5K or more is 100VA.

· If the main circuit power is switched off (for 0.1s or more) then on again, the inverter resets and a fault output will not be held.
