6.1.4
Display of the life of the inverter parts
The self-diagnostic alarm is output when the life span of the control circuit capacitor, cooling fan and each parts of the inrush
current limit circuit is near its end. It gives an indication of replacement time.
The life alarm output can be used as a guideline for life judgement.
Parts
Main circuit capacitor
Control circuit capacitor
Inrush current limit circuit
Cooling fan
POINT
Refer to page 265 to perform the life check of the inverter parts.
6.1.5
Checking the inverter and converter modules
<Preparation>
(1) Disconnect the external power supply cables (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3) and motor cables (U, V, W).
(2) Prepare a tester. (Use 100 range.)
<Checking method>
Change the polarity of the tester alternately at the inverter terminals R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, U, V, W, + and -, and check for
continuity.
NOTE
1. Before measurement, check that the smoothing capacitor is discharged.
2. At the time of discontinuity, the measured value is almost
smoothing capacitor, the tester may not indicate
several tens-of ohms depending on the module type, circuit tester type, etc. If all measured values are almost the
same, the modules are without fault.

Cleaning
Always run the inverter in a clean status.
When cleaning the inverter, gently wipe dirty areas with a soft cloth immersed in neutral detergent or ethanol.
NOTE
Do not use solvent, such as acetone, benzene, toluene and alcohol, as these will cause the inverter surface paint to peel off.
The display, etc. of the operation panel and parameter unit (FR-PU04/FR-PU07) are vulnerable to detergent and alcohol.
Therefore, avoid using them for cleaning.
