Thus, high-speed monitoring is available with these terminals. (Refer to page 19 for high-speed monitoring.) * Terminals provided differ according to the inverter. Connect the voltmeter as shown below: Inverter FR-A7AD (Voltmeter) 0 to 10VDC DA2 to DA5 CAUTION • The wiring length between the FR-A7AD and the voltmeter should be 30m maximum.
HIGH-SPEED ANALOG OUTPUT 4.2 Terminals Terminal Terminal Name Description Symbol Voltage output Connect a DC voltmeter (±10VDC). terminal Common terminals for DA2 to DA5 and DD0 to DD3. Common terminal These terminal 5’s are connected with the terminal 5 of the inverter. Used for digital output function.
HIGH-SPEED ANALOG OUTPUT 4.3 Calibration procedure 4.3.1 Calibration of voltmeter If a voltmeter is deviated, it can be calibrated at 0V or full-scale voltage (10V) output of the terminals DA2 to DA5. (1) Calibration at 0V output Turning ON the X83 turns ON the Y83. In the initial status, 0V calibration is performed At least 20ms required at power OFF →...
Page 20
HIGH-SPEED ANALOG OUTPUT CAUTION • Keep the X83 signal ON for 20ms or longer. Otherwise, calibration may not be performed. • When the X83 signal is assigned, 0V calibration is not performed at power ON and at inverter reset. If power is turned OFF while the X83 is assigned, a 0V-calibrated value returns back to the logical value because the inverter does not save such calibrated values.

(Setting range: 1% to 400%) Use this function when you need to change the scale of the monitor because the full scale value is not changeable.
HIGH-SPEED ANALOG OUTPUT 4.4 Instructions (1) A voltmeter having smaller internal impedance than the value indicated in the Specifications (page 4) may not deflect to full-scale and may not be calibrated. (2) To calibrate a voltmeter, of which full scale is less than 10VDC, disconnect the voltmeter first. Then, set terminal DA2 to DA5 outputs to the smallest values (set scale ratios to Pr.526, Pr.528, Pr.530, and Pr.532) according the voltmeter, and reconnect the voltmeter.
