Life prediction function
The inverter has the life prediction function for some parts which measures the discharging time or counts the
voltage applied time, etc. The function allows you to monitor the current lifetime state on the LED monitor and judge
whether those parts are approaching the end of their service life. The life prediction function can also issue early
warning signals if the lifetime alarm command LIFE is assigned to any of the digital output terminals by any of E20
to E24 and E27. By assigning warnings with H81, LiF appears on the keypad, and warning “L-ALM” is output to
notify the user.
The predicted values should be used only as a guide since the actual service life is influenced by the surrounding
temperature and other usage environments.
