(4) Operation
CAUTION
z
When you have chosen the retry function, stay away from the equipment as it will restart suddenly
after an alarm stop.
z
The [STOP] key is valid only when the appropriate function setting has been made. Prepare an
emergency stop switch separately.
z
Make sure that the start signal is off before resetting the inverter alarm. A failure to do so may restart
the motor suddenly.
z
The load used should be a three-phase induction motor only. Connection of any other electrical
equipment to the inverter output may damage the equipment.
z
The electronic overcurrent protection does not guarantee protection of the motor from overheat.
z
Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter input for frequent starting/stopping of the inverter.
z
Use a noise filter to reduce the effect of electromagnetic interference. Otherwise nearby electronic
equipment may be affected.
z
Take measures to suppress harmonics. Otherwise power harmonics from the inverter may
heat/damage the power capacitor and generator.
z
When an over 400V class motor is inverter-driven, it should be insulation-enhanced or surge voltages
suppressed. Surge voltages attributable to the wiring constants may occur at motor terminals,
deteriorating the insulation of the motor.
z
When parameter clear or all clear is performed, each parameter returns to the factory setting. Re-set
the required parameters before starting operation.
z
The inverter can be easily set for high-speed operation. Before changing its setting, fully examine the
performances of the motor and machine.
z
In addition to the inverter's holding function, install a holding device (e. g. mechanical brake) to ensure
safety.
z
Before running the inverter which had been stored for a long period, always perform inspection and
test operation.
(5) Emergency stop
CAUTION
z
Provide a safety backup such as an emergency brake which will prevent the machine and equipment
from hazardous conditions if the inverter fails.
(6) Maintenance, inspection and parts replacement
CAUTION
z
Do not carry out a megger (insulation resistance) test on the control circuit of the inverter.
(7) Disposing of the inverter
CAUTION
z
Treat as industrial waste.
(8) General instructions
Many of the diagrams and drawings in this instruction manual show the inverter without a cover, or partially
open. NEVER run the inverter like this. Always replace the cover and follow this instruction manual when
operating the inverter.
