1 Safety Instructions and General Warnings
Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not attempt to modify or alter the drive in any way not explained in this manual.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Yaskawa is not responsible for any modification of the product made by the user. This product must not be modified.
Do not touch any terminals before the capacitors have fully discharged.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Before wiring terminals, disconnect all power to the equipment. The internal capacitor remains charged even after the
power supply is turned off. The charge indicator LED will extinguish when the DC bus voltage is below 50 Vdc. To
prevent electric shock, wait at least five minutes after all indicators are off and measure the DC bus voltage level to
confirm safe level.
Do not allow unqualified personnel to use equipment.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Maintenance, inspection, and replacement of parts must be performed only by authorized personnel familiar with
installation, adjustment, and maintenance of AC drives.
Do not remove covers or touch circuit boards while the power is on.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Always ground the motor-side grounding terminal.
Improper equipment grounding could result in death or serious injury by contacting the motor case.
Do not perform work on the drive while wearing loose clothing, jewelry or without eye protection.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Remove all metal objects such as watches and rings, secure loose clothing, and wear eye protection before beginning
work on the drive.
Never short the output circuits of the drive.
Do not short the output circuits of the drive. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
When using a PM motor, make sure to block the rotor before performing work on the motor or drive output
circuit.
A PM motor generates electrical power if rotated. If connected to the drive, the drive main circuit will be charged even
if the power supply is off. Touching live parts in the drive or output circuit may result in death or serious injury.
Sudden Movement Hazard
Stay clear of the motor during rotational Auto-Tuning. The motor may start operating suddenly.
During automatic starting of equipment, the machine may start moving suddenly, which could result in death or serious
injury.
System may start unexpectedly upon application of power, resulting in death or serious injury.
Clear all personnel from the drive, motor, and machine area before applying power. Secure covers, couplings, shaft
keys, and machine loads before applying power to the drive.
Fire Hazard
Do not use an improper voltage source.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury by fire.
Verify that the rated voltage of the drive matches the voltage of the incoming power supply before applying power.

1 Safety Instructions and General Warnings
Crush Hazard
Do not carry the drive by the front cover.
Failure to comply may result in minor or moderate injury from the main body of the drive falling.
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the heatsink or braking resistor hardware until a powered-down cooling period has elapsed.
Equipment Hazard
Observe proper electrostatic discharge procedures (ESD) when handling the drive and circuit boards.
Failure to comply may result in ESD damage to the drive circuitry.
Never connect or disconnect the motor from the drive while the drive is outputting voltage.
Improper equipment sequencing could result in damage to the drive.
Do not perform a withstand voltage test on any part of the drive.
Failure to comply could result in damage to the sensitive devices within the drive.
Do not operate damaged equipment.
Failure to comply could result in further damage to the equipment.
Do not connect or operate any equipment with visible damage or missing parts.
Install adequate branch circuit short circuit protection per applicable codes.
Failure to comply could result in damage to the drive.
The drive is suitable for circuits capable of delivering not more than 100,000 RMS symmetrical Amperes, 240 Vac
maximum (200 V Class) and 480 Vac maximum (400V Class).
Do not use unshielded cable for control wiring.
Failure to comply may cause electrical interference resulting in poor system performance. Use shielded twisted-pair
wires and ground the shield to the ground terminal of the drive.
Do not allow unqualified personnel to use the product.
Failure to comply could result in damage to the drive or braking circuit.
Carefully review the braking option instruction manual when connecting a braking option to the drive.
Do not use improper combustible materials.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury by fire.
Attach the drive to metal or other noncombustible material.
Do not connect AC line power to output terminals U, V, and W.
Make sure that the power supply lines are connected to main circuit input terminals R/L1, S/L2, T/L3.
Do not connect the AC power line to the output motor terminals of the drive. Failure to comply could result in death or
serious injury by fire as a result of drive damage from line voltage application to output terminals.
Tighten all terminal screws to the specified tightening torque.
Loose electrical connections could result in death or serious injury by fire due to overheating of electrical connections.

1 Safety Instructions and General Warnings
Do not modify the drive circuitry.
Failure to comply could result in damage to the drive and will void warranty.
Yaskawa is not responsible for modification of the product made by the user. This product must not be modified.
Check all the wiring to ensure that all connections are correct after installing the drive and connecting other
devices.
Failure to comply could result in damage to the drive.
Do not connect unapproved LC or RC interference suppression filters, capacitors, or overvoltage protection
devices to the output of the drive.
Using unapproved filters could result in damage to the drive or motor equipment.
Check the motor rotation and elevator movement direction prior to starting up the drive.
The drive puts out voltage in phase sequence U-V-W with an Up command. Make sure the elevator moves up if the
motor is supplied with this phase sequence.
Always remove the ropes when performing Rotational Auto-Tuning.
During Rotational Auto-Tuning the drive turns the motor for a certain time. Not removing the ropes might result in
damage to the equipment.
When using a PM motor, make sure the motor can handle the maximum current delivered by the drive.
Operating the motor with too high current may result in demagnetization.
Precautions for CE Low Voltage Directive Compliance
This drive has been tested according to European standard EN61800-5-1, and it fully complies with the Low Voltage
Directive. The following conditions must be met to maintain compliance when combining this drive with other devices:
Do not use drives in areas with pollution higher than severity 2 and overvoltage category 3 in accordance with IEC664.
Ground the neutral point of the main power supply for 400 V Class drives.
In the drives LC2A0145/0185 and LC4A0112/0150 the wire bending space (space between terminals and cable entry
point) provided is smaller than recommended in the IEC61800-5-1.
Precautions for UL/cUL Standards Compliance
This drive is tested in accordance with UL standard UL508C and complies with UL requirements. The following
conditions must be met to maintain compliance when using this drive in combination with other equipment:
Do not install the drive to an area greater than pollution severity 2 (UL standard).
Use UL-listed copper wires (rated at 75°C) and closed-loop connectors or CSA-certified ring connectors. For details
refer to the Technical Manual.
Wire low voltage wires with NEC Class 1 circuit conductors. Refer to national state or local codes for wiring. Use a class
2 (UL regulations) power supply for the control circuit terminal. For details refer to the Technical Manual.
This drive has undergone the UL short-circuit test, which certifies that during a short circuit in the power supply the
current flow will not rise above 100,000 amps maximum at 240 V for 200 V class drives and 480 V for 400 V class
drives.
The drive internal motor overload protection is UL listed and in accordance with the NEC and CEC. The setup can be
done using the parameters L1-01/02. For details refer to the Technical Manual.
Note: The UL listing of the drives LC2A0145/0185 and LC4A0112/0150 is pending.
