(1) Setting auto-tuning
This auto tuning function allows you to set the motor constant easily, which needs to be set when operating in auto
torque boost mode or vector control mode ( = , , ,  or ).
There are two parameters ( and  described below) for auto tuning. For the steps to be followed
when setting these parameters, see the flowchart on the previous page. This section provides an explanation of
 and .


Auto-tuning 2 refers to the function of adjusting the motor constant automatically, while estimating the increase in
the motor temperature.
If your inverter is equipped with a self-cooling fan (fan connected directly to the motor shaft), set  to .
When using a motor with a cooling fan (forced air-cooling type), set  to .
• Perform auto-tuning 2 along with auto-tuning 1.
• Perform auto-tuning when the motor is cold (temperature equal to the ambient temperature).

Precautions on auto-tuning 1
(1) The inverter is tuned automatically (auto-tuning 1 =) when the inverter is started for the first
time after setup. During auto-tuning 1, which takes about 3 minutes from several seconds, the motor is
energized, although it is standing still. Noise may be produced by the motor during auto-tuning 1,
which, however, does not indicate that something is wrong with the inverter or the motor.
(2) Conduct auto-tuning 1 (=) only after the motor has been connected and operation
completely stopped.
If auto-tuning is conducted immediately after operation stops, the presence of a residual voltage may
result in abnormal tuning.
(3) Usually, auto-tuning terminates into 3 minutes from several seconds as each model. If an error occurs,
however, the inverter trips (display ) and no motor constant is set. For these motors, perform
manual tuning using (2) described below.
(4) It may not be possible to tune automatically special motors such as high-speed motor or high-slip
motor. For these motors, perform manual tuning using (2) described below.
(5) Provide cranes and hoists with sufficient circuit protection such as mechanical braking. Without
sufficient circuit protection, the result of insufficient motor torque during tuning could create the risk of
the machine stalling/failing.
(6) If auto-tuning is impossible or an auto-tuning error () is displayed, perform manual tuning with (2)
described below.
