■Safety precautions
Before reading this manual, please read the following instructions in addition to “I. Safety Precautions,” of the
instruction manual E6581158.

■General Operation

Danger
• Circuit boards are exposed when the front cover is removed. So do not detach the
Mandatory
front cover when the inverter is energized or within 10 minutes after power is turned
off. Doing so could result in electric shock.

■Transportation

Warning
• When handling the inverter unit, hold it by both the sides firmly. If you hold it by the
Mandatory
fins at the upper and lower parts, you could get injured.

reduced to some degree by fixing shielded parts of cables with
cable grounds or similar devices. See page 7.
(7) Name plate Label on which the ratings of the inverter unit is printed.
Note 1: The switch has the function of tripping (overcurrent tripping). If the switch is in the Trip position, inspect
the inverter before turning back on the power switch, because the inverter itself may be faulty.
Note 2: Recommended contact input switches: Harmony series (XB5 series)

How to remove the front cover

1. Shut off the supply of electricity from the main power supply, and turn the manual power ON-OFF switch to
the OFF position.
2. Ten minutes or more after turning off power, check to be sure that the CHARGE lamp is not lit.
3. Remove the 6 screws* (indicated by the arrows in the figure) around the front cover.
(* 4 screws for single/three-phase 240V-0.75kW models and smaller)
4. Pull the front cover slowly toward you to remove it and detach the control signal cable connector.

How to attach the front cover

1. Attach the control signal cable connector.
2. Attach the front cover.
3. Set and tighten the 6 screws* (indicated by the arrows in the figure) around the front cover.
(* 4 screws for single/three-phase 240V-0.75kW models and smaller)

Caution: Attach the front cover securely.

Or else it does not serve as a protector compliant with IP54.
On top of that, it may become impossible to operate the keys on the operation panel.

About the built-in cooling fan

The inverter has a built-in cooling fan. The cooling fan has a useful life of approximately 30,000 hours (2 to 3
years when operated continuously), so it needs to be replaced periodically.
(Single/three-phase 240V-0.75kW models and smaller are not equipped with cooling fans.)
If the cooling fan does not operate normally, the temperatures of the internal electrical components will rise
high, and as a result their lives will be shortened. So inspect it periodically.

About the useful life of the manual power ON-OFF switch

The manual power ON-OFF switch has a useful life of approximately 5 years (if operated 12 hours per day at
an average yearly ambient temperature of 30°C), so it needs to be replaced periodically.

Cautions
• Circuit boards are exposed when the front cover is removed. Since high voltages are applied to some parts
of the circuit board, read Section 2.1, “Cautions on wiring,” of the instruction manual E6581158 carefully
before wiring.
When connecting cables, take care not to damage the circuit board with a screwdriver or a similar tool.
• To connect the power cable (to the manual power ON-OFF switch), torque the terminal screw to 1.7N·m
(recommended). (M4 screw)
• Never turn on the power ON-OFF switch before attaching the front cover.
Or you could get a shock.

The main circuit terminal board (input power cable) has terminals of a cable pinch type.
Before connecting a cable, strip off its sheath to a length of 10mm or so. Torque: 1.7N·m

Approx. 10mm

■Installation environment
• Operate in areas where ambient temperature ranges from -10°C to
10cm or more +40°C.
• Install the inverter in a well-ventilated place and mount it on a flat metal
plate in portrait orientation. Install the inverter so that it is not inclined

5cm or more 5cm or more more than ±10° from the vertical.
• Leave a space of 10cm or more on the upper and lower sides of the
inverter, and a space of 5cm or more on each side.
• The inverter has a built-in cooling fan. The cooling fan has a useful life
of approximately 30,000 hours (2 to 3 years when operated
10cm or more
continuously), so it needs to be replaced periodically. The inverter has a
built-in cooling fan. (Single/three-phase 240V-0.75kW models and
smaller are not equipped with cooling fans.)
If the cooling fan does not operate normally, the temperatures of the
internal electrical components will rise high, and as a result their lives
will be shortened.
So inspect it periodically.

Note 1: Capacity is calculated at 220V for the 240V models and at 440V for the 500V models.
Note 2: Indicates rated output current setting when the PWM carrier frequency (parameter F300) is 4kHz or less.
The values between parentheses refer to output currents at PWM carrier frequencies of over 4kHz. They
need to be reduced further at frequencies over 12kHz (If a motor cable over 30m in length is used, it is
necessary to reduce them more. This means that the lives of the internal components will be shortened).
When the input power voltage of the 500V class model exceeds 480V, it is necessary to further reduce
the setting. The default setting of the PWM carrier frequency is 12kHz.
Note 3: The maximum output voltage is equal to the input supply voltage.
Note 4: ±10% when the inverter is operated continuously (under a load of 100%).
Note 5: IP54-compliant structures refer to structures that protect the contents from dust and harmful effects of
water that drops from every direction.
The inverter can be brought into compliance with IP55 specifications by making the wiring port
watertight.
(IP55-compliant structures refer to structures that protect the contents from dust and harmful effects of
water that comes in a jet from every direction.)
To bring the inverter into compliance with IP-55, use PG screw type cable grounds. Among cable
grounds available are skin-top grounds manufactured by LAPP (Germany).
When using this type of grounds, use them in combination with lock nuts specified below.

Note 8: The inverter has a built-in cooling fan. The cooling fan has a useful life of approximately 30,000 hours (2
to 3 years when operated continuously), so it needs to be replaced periodically.
(Single/three-phase 240V-0.75kW models and smaller are not equipped with cooling fans.)
If the cooling fan does not operate normally, the temperatures of the internal electrical components will
rise high, and as a result their lives will be shortened. So inspect it periodically.
Note 9: The manual power ON-OFF switch has a useful life of approximately 5 years (if operated 12 hours per
day at an average yearly ambient temperature of 30°C), so it needs to be replaced periodically.
