(1) Cooling fan
The cooling fan is used to cool heat-generating parts such as the main circuit semiconductors.
The life of the cooling fan bearing is usually 10,000 to 35,000 hours. Hence, the cooling fan must
be replaced every 2 to 3 years if the inverter is run continuously. When unusual noise and/or
vibration is noticed during inspection, the cooling fan must be replaced immediately.
Inverter Type
FR-S520E-1.5K, 2.2K, 3.7K
Removal
1) Remove the front cover and wiring cover. (Refer to page 1.)

Reinstallation
1) After confirming the orientation of
the fan, reinstall the fan so that the
arrow on the left of "AIR FLOW"
faces up.
CAUTION
Installing the fan in the opposite air
flow direction
inverter life to be shorter.
2) Reinstall the fan cover to the inverter.
Run the cable through the wiring groove to prevent it from being caught
between the chassis and cover.
3) Reconnect the cable to the connector. (Refer to the previous page for the
