4.1.1 Installation Precautions
 What are the precautions when installing the inverter?
 When installing the inverter, be sure to observe the following precautions.
 Plastic parts are used for the inverter. When carrying the inverter, handle it
carefully to prevent damage to the parts.
 Do not carry the inverter by holding the keypad or terminal block cover.
Doing so may cause the inverter to fall.
 Do not install and operate the inverter if it is damaged or parts are missing.
 Avoid installing the inverter in a place where the ambient temperature goes above
or below the allowable range, as defined by the standard inverter specification.
* Temperature requirements vary depending on the "Load type selection [b049]".
In addition, current derating may be required. For details, refer to "Chapter 17
Specifications/Dimensions/Derating".
 Leave sufficient space around the inverter. Measure the temperature in a position
about 5 cm from the bottom-center point of the inverter, and check that the
measured temperature is within the allowable range. Operating the inverter at a
temperature outside this range will shorten the inverter life (especially the
capacitor life).
