•  The cooling fans and braking resistors become very hot. Do not touch. 
  Failure to observe this could result in burns. 
•  Mechanical holding is not possible with the inverter brake function. 
  Failure to observe this could result in injury. 
•  The digital input terminals are equipped with a function used to start and stop operation or change the 
speed command with the "FWD" operation command or "BX" free-run command and so on. Depending on 
the digital input terminal status, operation may start suddenly, or the speed may change significantly simply 
by changing the function code settings. Make changes to function code settings after sufficiently ensuring 
safety. 
•  With digital input, functions ("SS1, SS2, SS4, SS8", "Hz2/Hz1", "Hz/PID", "IVS", "LE", etc.) used to change 
the operation procedure for operation commands or command procedure for speed commands can be 
assigned. Depending on the conditions, changes to these signals may result in operation being started 
suddenly or the speed changing suddenly. 
•  Ensure safety before modifying customizable logic related function code settings (U codes and related 
function codes) or turning ON the "Cancel customizable logic" terminal command CLC. Depending upon the 
settings, such modification or cancellation of the customizable logic may change the operation sequence to 
cause a sudden motor start or an unexpected motor operation. Carry out a sufficient safety check 
beforehand. 
  Failure to observe this could result in an accident or injury. 
 
Speed control mode 
•  If the control constant for the automatic speed regulator (ASR) used with speed control is not at an 
appropriate value, even if the operation command is turned OFF, deceleration control may not be 
performed, and stop conditions may not be met due to such reasons as hunting caused by a high gain 
setting. As a result, operation may continue. 
•  Hunting due to a high response may occur in the low-speed area when decelerating, the speed detection 
value may deviate from the zero speed area before the continuous zero speed control time (F39) has 
elapsed, the mode may change to low-speed mode again without stop conditions being met, and operation 
may continue. 
•  If the actual speed deviates from the speed command after adjusting the ASR control constant to an 
appropriate value and applying the speed mismatch alarm function, an alarm is tripped, allowing the motor 
to be stopped safely. Furthermore, taking measures such as changing the ASR control constant setting 
based on the speed, or judging stop speed detection with a speed command value allows the inverter to 
successfully control the motor. 
  Failure to observe this could result in an accident or injury. 
 
Torque control mode 
•  When performing torque control, in cases such as when the motor is being rotated from the load side with 
torque greater than that specified with the torque command, there are times when torque conditions are not 
met, and operation continues even when the operation command is turned OFF. 
•  If wishing to cut the inverter output at such times, take measures such as changing to speed control and 
bringing the motor to a decelerated stop, or issuing a coast to stop command. 
  Failure to observe this could result in an accident or injury.
