Safety Precautions Precautions of operation Before turning ON power
CAUTION!
• Choose appropriate power source with correct voltage setting as the input
voltage specification of the inverter. Check line voltage phase to phase and
phase to ground for compliance.
WARNING!
• The input power source must be connected to main input power terminals L1, L2,
and L3.
• Special care must be taken while wiring the power circuit. The (L1, L2 and L3)
terminal must be connected to input power source and must not be connected to
T1, T2, or T3 output terminals by mistake. This will damage the inverter when the
power is turned on.
CAUTION!
• Do not attempt to transport the inverter by the front cover. Securely hold the inverter
by the chassis to prevent the inverter from falling.
• Install the inverter onto firm metal base or other nonflammable material. Do not
install the inverter near any flammable material to avoid fire.
• Additional ventilation fan should be installed if several inverters are installed into
one control panel to lower the temperature inside to below 50°C to avoid
overheating.
• Turn off the power supply before removal or installation of the operating panel.
Carry out installation procedure according to instructions given to avoid poor-
contact resulting in operating panel malfunction or display malfunction.
• The inverter can be easily operated over a wide speed range. Please confirm the
operating range of motor and machinery with respective manufacturers.
• Do not examine the signals on the PCB of the inverter while it is operating.
• All inverters have been adjusted properly at the factory. If adjustment is required
consult the manual and do not exceed normal operating values.
• Do not disassemble or examine the inverter before ensuring that the power is off
and the charge indicator has been extinguished.
• Insure that all safety devices on the machine are operating correctly such as: limit
switches, brakes, etc.
