3. Operation
- While power is supplied to the inverter, do not touch any terminal or internal part of the inverter, check
signals, or connect or disconnect any wire or connector. Otherwise, you run the risk of electric shock
or fire.
- Be sure to close the terminal block cover before turning on the inverter power. Do not open the
terminal block cover while power is being supplied to the inverter or voltage remains inside. Otherwise,
you run the risk of electric shock.
- Do not operate switches with wet hands. Otherwise, you run the risk of electric shock.
- While power is supplied to the inverter, do not touch the terminal of the inverter, even if it has stopped.
Otherwise, you run the risk of injury or fire.
- If the retry mode has been selected, the inverter will restart suddenly after a break in the tripping
status. Stay away from the machine controlled by the inverter when the inverter is under such
circumstances. (Design the machine so that human safety can be ensured, even when the inverter
restarts suddenly.) Otherwise, you run the risk of injury.
- Do not select the retry mode for controlling an elevating or traveling device because output
free-running status occurs in retry mode. Otherwise, you run the risk of injury or damage to the
machine controlled by the inverter.
- If an operation command has been input to the inverter before a short-term power failure, the inverter
may restart operation after the power recovery. If such a restart may put persons in danger, design a
control circuit that disables the inverter from restarting after power recovery. Otherwise, you run the
risk of injury.
- The [STOP] key is effective only when its function is enabled by setting. Prepare an emergency stop
switch separately. Otherwise, you run the risk of injury.
- If an operation command has been input to the inverter before the inverter enters alarm status, the
inverter will restart suddenly when the alarm status is reset. Before resetting the alarm status, make
sure that no operation command has been input.
- While power is supplied to the inverter, do not touch any internal part of the inverter or insert a bar in it.
Otherwise, you run the risk of electric shock or fire.
- Do not touch the heat sink, which heats up during the inverter operation. Otherwise, you run the risk of
burn injury.
- The inverter allows you to easily control the speed of motor or machine operations. Before operating
the inverter, confirm the capacity and ratings of the motor or machine controlled by the inverter.
Otherwise, you run the risk of injury.
- Install an external brake system if needed. Otherwise, you run the risk of injury.
- When using the inverter to operate a standard motor at a frequency of over 60 Hz, check the allowable
motor speeds with the manufacturers of the motor and the machine to be driven and obtain their
consent before starting inverter operation. Otherwise, you run the risk of damage to the motor and
machine.
- During inverter operation, check the motor for the direction of rotation, abnormal sound, and
vibrations. Otherwise, you run the risk of damage to the machine driven by the motor.
