Injury Prevention CAUTION Apply only the voltage specified in the instruction manual to each terminal. Otherwise, burst, damage, etc. may occur. Ensure that the cables are connected to the correct terminals. Otherwise, burst, damage, etc. may occur. Always make sure that polarity is correct to prevent damage, etc. Otherwise, burst, damage, etc. may occur. While power is on or for some time after power-off, do not touch the inverter as it is hot and you may get burnt.

Operation WARNING When you have chosen the retry function, stay away from the equipment as it will restart suddenly after an alarm stop. Since pressing the key may not stop output depending on the function setting status, provide a circuit and switch separately to make an emergency stop (power off, mechanical brake operation for emergency stop, etc).

Disposing of the inverter CAUTION Treat as industrial waste. General instructions Many of the diagrams and drawings in instruction manuals show the inverter without a cover, or partially open. Never run the inverter in this status. Always replace the cover and follow instruction manuals when operating the inverter. For more details on the PM motor, refer to the Instruction Manual of the PM motor.

INSTALLATION AND INSTRUCTIONS 1.2 Installation of the inverter Install the inverter on a strong surface securely with bolts. Fix six positions for the FR-A840- 04320(160K) or higher and for the FR-A842 models (separated converter type). Leave enough clearances and take cooling measures. Avoid places where the inverter is subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity.

WIRING The following diagram shows the positions of R1/L11, S1/L21, and the charge lamp. Charge lamp Jumper R1/L11 S1/L21 The terminals P3 and PR of the FR-A820-01540(30K) are not equipped with screws. Do not connect anything to these. For terminal layout and wiring of the converter unit (FR-CC2) refer to the FR-CC2 Instruction Manual. CAUTION The power supply cables must be connected to R/L1, S/L2, T/L3.
WIRING 3.3 Wiring fundamentals 3.3.1 Cable size Select the recommended cable size to ensure that a voltage drop will be 2% max. If the wiring distance is long between the inverter and motor, a main circuit cable voltage drop will cause the motor torque to decrease especially at the output of a low frequency.

WIRING For the FR-A840-01800(55K) or lower and the FR-A846 (IP55 compatible) models, the recommended cable size is that of the HIV cable (600V class 2 vinyl-insulated cable) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 75°C. Assumes that the surrounding air temperature is 50°C or less and the wiring distance is 20m or less. For the FR-A840-02160(75K) or higher, the recommended cable size is that of the LMFC cable (heat resistant flexible cross-linked polyethylene insulated cable) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 90°C.

4 FAILSAFE OF THE SYSTEM WHICH USES THE INVERTER When a fault is detected by the protective function, the protective function activates and output a fault signal (ALM). How- ever, a fault output signal may not be output at an inverter fault occurrence when the detection circuit or output circuit fails, etc.
5 PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF THE INVERTER The FR-A800 series is a highly reliable product, but incorrect peripheral circuit making or operation/handling method may shorten the product life or damage the product. Before starting operation, always recheck the following items: Use crimping terminals with insulation sleeve to wire the power supply and motor.
Page 36
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF THE INVERTER Vector control is available with an encoder-equipped motor. And such an encoder must be directly connected to a motor shaft without any backlash. (Real sensorless vector control, PM sensorless control do not require an encoder.) Inverter input side magnetic contactor (MC) On the inverter input side, connect an MC for the following purposes.
