Electric Shock Prevention
m
WARNING:
● While power is on or when the inverter is running, do not open the front cover.
Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
● Do not run the inverter with the front cover removed. Otherwise, you may access
the exposed high-voltage terminals or the charging part of the circuitry and get an
electric shock.
● Even if power is off, do not remove the front cover except for wiring or periodic
inspection. You may access the charged inverter circuits and get an electric shock.
● Before starting wiring or inspection, check to make sure that the operation panel
indicator is off, wait for at least 10 minutes after the power supply has been switched
off, and check that there are no residual voltage using a tester or the like. The
capacitor is charged with high voltage for some time after power off and it is
dangerous.
● This inverter must be earthed. Earthing must conform to the requirements of
national and local safety regulations and electrical codes. (JIS, NEC section 250,
IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable standards)
● Any person who is involved in the wiring or inspection of this equipment should
be fully competent to do the work.
● Always install the inverter before wiring. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock
or be injured.
● Perform setting dial and key operations with dry hands to prevent an electric shock.
Otherwise you may get an electric shock. Perform setting dial and key operations
with dry hands to prevent an electric shock. Otherwise you may get an electric
shock.
● Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or pinching.
Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
● Do not replace the cooling fan while power is on. It is dangerous to replace the
cooling fan while power is on.
● Do no t touch the printed circuit board with wet hands. You may get an electric shock.
Fire Prevention
b
CAUTION:
● Mount the inverter to non-combustible surface such as metal or concrete. Mounting
it to or near combustible material can cause a fire.
● If the inverter has become faulty, switch off the inverter power. A continuous flow
of large current could cause a fire.
● When using a brake resistor, make up a sequence that will turn off power when an
alarm signal is output. Otherwise, the brake resistor may excessively overheat due
to damage of the brake transistor and such, causing a fire.
● Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals P, N. This could cause a fire
and destroy the inverter. The surface temperature of braking resistors can far
exceed 100°C for brief periods. Make sure that there is adequate protection against
accidental contact and a safe distance is maintained to other units and system
parts.
