Electric shock prevention
WARNING
Do not remove the front cover or the wiring cover while the inverter power is ON, and do not run the inverter with the
front cover or the wiring cover removed as the exposed high voltage terminals or the charging part of the circuitry can
be touched. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
Even if power is OFF, do not remove the front cover except for wiring or periodic inspection as the inside of the inverter
is charged. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
Before wiring or inspection, check that the LED display of the operation panel is OFF. Any person who is involved in
wiring or inspection shall wait for 10 minutes or longer after the power supply has been cut 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.
The inverter must be earthed (grounded). Earthing (grounding) must conform to the requirements of national and local
safety regulations and electrical code (NEC section 250, IEC 61140 class 1 and other applicable standards). A neutral-

Do not install or operate the inverter if it is damaged or has parts missing.
Foreign conductive objects must be prevented from entering the inverter. That includes screws and metal fragments or
other flammable substance such as oil.
As the inverter is a precision instrument, do not drop or subject it to impact.
The surrounding air temperature must be between -10 and +40°C
damaged.
The ambient humidity must be 95% RH or less (non-condensing) for the inverter. Otherwise the inverter may be
damaged. (Refer to page 23 for details.)
The temporary storage temperature (applicable to a short limited time such as a transportation time) must be between -
20 and +65°C. Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.
The inverter must be used indoors (without corrosive gas, flammable gas, oil mist, dust and dirt). Otherwise the inverter
may be damaged.
The inverter must be used at an altitude of 2500 m or less, with 5.9 m/s
Y, Z axes). Otherwise the inverter may be damaged. (For the installation at an altitude above 1000 m, consider a 3%
reduction in the rated current per 500 m increase in altitude. Refer to page 23 for details.)
If halogen-based materials (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, etc.), included in fumigants to sterilize or disinfect wooden
packages, infiltrate into the product, the product may be damaged. Prevent residual fumigant components from being
infiltrated into the product when packaging, or use an alternative sterilization or disinfection method (heat disinfection,
etc.). Note that sterilization of disinfection of wooden package should be performed before packing the product.
Wiring
Do not install a power factor correction capacitor, surge absorber, or radio noise filter on the inverter's output side. These
devices on the inverter output side may be overheated or burn out.
The output of the inverter (output terminals U, V, W) must be correctly connected to a motor. Otherwise the motor rotates
inversely.

WARNING
Usage
Any person must stay away from the motor or machinery when the retry function or the automatic restart after
instantaneous power failure function is set in the inverter as the motor or the machine will restart suddenly after an
inverter fault or instantaneous power failure.
It may happen depending on the inverter's function settings that the inverter does not stop its output even when the
STOP/RESET key on the operation panel is pressed. To prepare for it, provide a separate circuit and switch (to turn the
inverter power OFF, or apply a mechanical brake, etc.) for an emergency stop.
Be sure to turn OFF the start (STF/STR) signal before clearing the fault as the inverter will restart the motor suddenly
after a fault clear.
Use only a three-phase induction motor as a load on this product. Connection of any other electrical equipment to the
inverter output may damage the equipment.
Do not modify the product.
Do not remove any part which is not instructed to be removed in the Instruction Manuals. Doing so may lead to a failure
or damage of the product.
CAUTION
Usage
The electronic thermal O/L relay function may not be enough for protection of a motor from overheating. It is
recommended to install an external thermal relay for overheat protection.
Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter input side for frequent starting/stopping of the inverter. Otherwise the
life of the inverter decreases.
Use a noise filter or other means to minimize the electromagnetic interference with other electronic equipment used
nearby the inverter.
Appropriate measures must be taken to suppress harmonics. Otherwise harmonics in power systems generated from
the inverter may heat/damage a power factor correction capacitor or a generator.
For a 400 V class motor driven by the inverter, use an insulation-enhanced motor, or take measures to suppress surge
voltage. Otherwise surge voltage attributable to the line constants may occur at the motor terminals, deteriorating the
insulation of the motor.
As all parameters return to their initial values after the Parameter clear or All parameter clear is performed, the needed
parameters for the inverter operation must be set again before the operation is started.
The inverter can be easily set for high-speed operation. Therefore, consider all things related to the operation such as
the performance of a motor and equipment in a system before the setting change.
Before running an inverter which have been stored and not been operated for a long period, perform an inspection and
a test operation.
To avoid damage to the product due to static electricity, static electricity in your body must be discharged before you
touch the product.
Emergency stop
A safety backup such as an emergency brake must be provided for devices or equipment in a system to prevent
hazardous conditions in case of the inverter failure.
If a breaker on the inverter input side is tripped, the wiring must be checked for a fault (such as short circuit), and internal
parts of the inverter for a damage, etc. Identify and remove the cause of the trip before resetting the tripped breaker (or
before applying the power to the inverter again).
When any protective function is activated, take an appropriate corrective action before resetting the inverter to resume
the operation.
Maintenance, inspection and parts replacement
Do not carry out a megger (insulation resistance) test on the control circuit of the inverter. Doing so will cause a failure.
Disposal
The product must be treated as industrial waste.

• Provide a space heater in the enclosure.
• Do not power OFF the inverter. (Keep the start signal of the inverter OFF.)
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.
NOTE
• For the amount of heat generated by the inverter unit, refer to page 25.

2. INSTALLATION AND WIRING

Humidity
Operate the inverter within the ambient air humidity of usually up to 95% with circuit board coating. Too high humidity will pose
problems of reduced insulation and metal corrosion. On the other hand, too low humidity may cause a spatial electrical
breakdown. The humidity conditions for the insulation distance defined in JEM 1103 standard "Insulation Distance from Control
Equipment" is 45 to 85%.
Measures against high humidity
• Make the enclosure enclosed, and provide it with a hygroscopic agent.
• Provide dry air into the enclosure from outside.
• Provide a space heater in the enclosure.
Measures against low humidity
Air with proper humidity can be blown into the enclosure from outside. Also, when installing or inspecting the unit, discharge
your body (static electricity) beforehand, and keep your body away from the parts and patterns.
Measures against condensation
Condensation may occur if frequent operation stops change the in-enclosure temperature suddenly or if the outside air
temperature changes suddenly.
Condensation causes such faults as reduced insulation and corrosion.
• Take the measures against high humidity.
• Do not power OFF the inverter. (Keep the start signal of the inverter OFF.)
Dust, dirt, oil mist
Dust and dirt will cause such faults as poor contacts, reduced insulation and cooling effect due to the moisture-absorbed
accumulated dust and dirt, and in-enclosure temperature rise due to a clogged filter. In an 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.
Countermeasure
• Place the inverter in a totally enclosed enclosure.
Take measures if the in-enclosure temperature rises. (Refer to page 26.)
• Purge air.
Pump clean air from outside to make the in-enclosure air pressure higher than the outside air pressure.
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 the previous paragraph.
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.
High altitude
Use the inverter at an altitude of within 2500 m. For use at an altitude above 1000 m, consider a 3% reduction in the rated
current per 500 m increase in altitude.
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.
Vibration, impact
The vibration resistance of the inverter is up to 5.9 m/s2 at 10 to 55 Hz frequency and 1 mm amplitude for the directions of X,
Y, Z axes. Applying vibration and impacts for a long time may loosen the structures and cause poor contacts of connectors,
even if those vibration and impacts are within the specified values.
Especially when impacts are applied repeatedly, caution must be taken because such impacts may break the installation feet.

Countermeasure
• Provide the enclosure with rubber vibration isolators.
• Strengthen the structure to prevent the enclosure from resonance.
• Install the enclosure away from the sources of the vibration.

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.
• Cooling by natural heat dissipation from the enclosure surface (totally enclosed type)
• Cooling by heat sink (aluminum fin, etc.)
• Cooling by ventilation (forced ventilation type, pipe ventilation type)
• Cooling by heat exchanger or cooler (heat pipe, cooler, etc.)

This system is low in cost and generally used, but the
enclosure size increases as the inverter capacity
increases. This system is for relatively small capacities.
Being a totally enclosed type, this system is the most
appropriate for hostile environment having dust, dirt, oil
mist, etc. The enclosure size increases depending on
the inverter capacity.
This system has restrictions on the heat sink mounting
position and area. This system is for relatively small
capacities.
This system is for general indoor installation. This is
appropriate for enclosure downsizing and cost
reduction, and often used.

• Install the inverter on a strong surface securely with screws.
• Leave enough clearances and take cooling measures.
• Avoid places where the inverter is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity.
• Install the inverter on a nonflammable wall surface.
• When encasing multiple inverters in an enclosure, install them in parallel as a cooling measure.
• For heat dissipation and maintenance, keep clearance between the inverter and the other devices or enclosure surface.
The clearance below the inverter is required as a wiring space, and the clearance above the inverter is required as a heat
dissipation space.
• Install the inverter on the wall with no holes to prevent the cooling air from escaping.

Installation orientation of the inverter
InverterInverter
<Good example><Bad example>
Install the inverter on a wall as specified. Do not mount it horizontally or in any other way.
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.
Arrangement of multiple inverters
When multiple inverters are placed in the same enclosure, generally arrange them horizontally as shown in the figure (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.
