Danger
▼ Shut off power when installing and wiring this option.
Wait at least 15 minutes and check to make sure that the charge lamp (VF-AS1/PS1) is
no longer lit.
▼ Tighten the screws on the terminal block to the specified torque (Refer to Section 4.1).
If the screws are not tightened to the specified torque, it may lead to fire.
▼ Electrical construction work must be done by a qualified expert.
Installation or connection of input power by someone who does not have that expert
knowledge may result in fire or electric shock.
Danger
▼ Do not touch switches when the hands are wet and do not try to clean the inverter with
a damp cloth.
Doing so could result in electric shock.
▼ Do not pull on any cable itself.
Doing so could result in damage or malfunction.
Warning
▼ For safety's sake, do not dispose of the disused inverter yourself but ask an industrial
waste disposal agent (*).
If the collection, transport and disposal of industrial waste is done by someone who is
not licensed for that job, it is a punishable violation of the law. (Laws in regard to
cleaning and processing of waste materials)
(*) Persons who specialize in the processing of waste and known as “industrial waste
product collectors and transporters” or “industrial waste disposal persons.”
Notes on use
▼ Do not install the inverter where the temperature or the humidity will change rapidly.
▼ Keep a distance of 20cm or more between the inverter's power cable and the data
transmission cable.
Or the inverter might malfunction because of noise.
▼ Insert a magnetic contactor or similar device between the inverter and the power supply
to ensure that power is turned off if an emergency stop command is entered through the
network.
