Safety Precautions

12

LCD Digital Operator User’s Manual (I579)

Turn off the power supply and implement wiring correctly.
Not doing so may result in a serious injury due to an electric shock.

Wiring work must be carried out only by qualified personnel.
Not doing so may result in a serious injury due to an electric shock.

Do not change wiring and slide switches (SW1), put on or take off Operator and optional devices, replace
cooling fans while the input power is being supplied. Doing so may result in a serious injury due to an
electric shock.

Be sure to ground the unit. Not doing so may result in a serious injury due to an electric shock or fire.
(200V class: type-D grounding, 400V class: type-C grounding)

Do not remove the terminal cover during the power supply and 10 minutes after the power shut off.
Doing so may result in a serious injury due to an electric shock.

Do not operate the Operator or switches with wet hands.
Doing so may result in a serious injury due to an electric shock.

Inspection of the Inverter must be conducted after the power supply has been turned off. Not doing so may
result in a serious injury due to an electric shock.

The main power supply is not necessarily shut off even if the emergency shut off function is activated.

Do not touch the Inverter fins, braking resistors and the motor, which become too hot during the power
supply and for some time after the power shut off. Doing so may result in a burn.

Do not connect resistors to the terminals (+1, P/+2, N/-) directly. Doing so might result in a small-scale fire,
heat generation or damage to the unit.

Install a stop motion device to ensure safety. Not doing so might result in a minor injury. (A holding brake is
not a stop motion device designed to ensure safety.)

Be sure to use a specified type of braking resistor/regenerative braking unit. In case of a braking resistor,
install a thermal relay that monitors the temperature of the resistor. Not doing so might result in a moderate
burn due to the heat generated in the braking resistor/regenerative braking unit. Configure a sequence that
enables the Inverter power to turn off when unusual over heating is detected in the braking resistor/
regenerative braking unit.

The Inverter has high voltage parts inside which, if short-circuited, might cause damage to itself or other
property. Place covers on the openings or take other precautions to make sure that no metal objects such
as cutting bits or lead wire scraps go inside when installing and wiring.

Take safety precautions such as setting up a molded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) that matches the
Inverter capacity on the power supply side.

Not doing so might result in damage to property due to the short circuit of the load.

Do not dismantle, repair or modify the product.
Doing so may result in an injury.

Inverter, and etc.

In case of a trip w ar ni n g, bo t h th e co d e a nd na m e of warning are displayed so tha t yo u c an pe r fo r m
early troubleshooting.

The all READ function enables to read all the parameter setting data stored in the Inverter. Up to
four sets of Inverter parameter setting data can be read and stored in the internal memory of the
LCD Digital Operator.

The parameter setting data in the memory can be all written, only if the Inverters are of the same
model and version.

Using this feature, the time for setting parameters can be reduced when the same devices are
started up or specifications are changed.

Or it is possible to store, upload and download up to a single set of Inverter parameter setting data
and a Drive Programming program.

This function enables to compare and verify parameters of the connected Inverter, Drive
Programming, and data stored in the internal memory of the LCD Digital Operator. It is useful when
checking conditions before shipment or in case of a trouble.

Using the optional cable (Model: 3G3AX-OPCN1/OPCN3) enables you to mount the LCD Digital
Operator on the surface of system panel. You can check and adjust the system status from outside
the control panel.

8-1 Battery Replacement

The LCD Digital Operator contains a battery, which is a service part. This built-in battery is used as a
backup for the clock function of the LCD Digital Operator. Below is the procedure for replacing this part.

This LCD Digital Operator has a built-in real time clock IC for the date and time information. When the
external power supply is OFF, the power is supplied from this built-in battery to update the date and
time information.

If the battery life expires, the date and time information is not updated when power supply to the LCD
Digital Operator is OFF. In this case, the date and time information stored in the real time clock IC is
reset to the default value (THU 00:00, January 1, 2009) when the power supply to the LCD Digital
Operator is turned ON. Therefore, when you turn ON the LCD Digital Operator for the first time after
purchase or battery replacement, set the correct time and date in the Option Mode. Otherwise, the LCD
Digital Operator does not show the date and time information correctly in the Trip Mode, Read Mode,
and Write Mode.

Except for the current date and time display, a battery voltage drop will not affect the normal operation
of the LCD Digital Operator.

Precautions for Safe Use

• If the clock command is used in Drive Programming, an unexpected operation may occur due

to weak battery. Take measures such as detecting a weak battery by a check that the clock
data returns to the initial setting and stopping the Inverter or programs. When the LCD Digital
Operator is removed or disconnected, Drive Programming is in a waiting status by the clock
command.
