Installation precautions
• Removal procedure of the front cover is different. (Refer to page 22.)
• Plug-in options of the FR-A700 series are not compatible.
• Operation panel (FR-DU07) cannot be used.
Wiring precautions
• The spring clamp type terminal block has changed to the screw type. Use of blade terminals is recommended.
Instructions for continuous use of the FR-PU07 (parameter unit)
• For the FR-A800 series, many functions (parameters) have been added. When setting these parameters, the parameter
names and setting ranges are not displayed.
• Only the parameter with the numbers up to "999" can be read and set. The parameters with the numbers after "999" cannot
be read or set.
• Many protective functions have been added for the FR-A800 series. These functions are available, but all faults are
displayed as "Fault".When the faults history is checked, "ERR" appears. Added faults will not appear on the parameter unit.
(However, MT1 to MT3 are displayed as MT.)
• Parameter copy/verification function are not available.
Copying parameter settings
• The FR-A700 series' parameter settings can be easily copied to the FR-A800 series by using the setup software (FR
Configurator2). (Not supported by the setup software FR-SW3-SETUP or older.)
Appendix 1.2 Replacement of the FR-A500(L) series
Installation precautions
• Installation size is compatible for replacing the FR-A520(L)-0.4K to 90K, FR-A540(L)-0.4K to 7.5K, 18.5K to 55K, 110K,
160K, or 220K. New mounting holes are required for replacing models with other capacities.
• To use the same mounting holes of the FR-A540-11K or 15K for the A800 series, the optional installation interchange
attachment (FR-AAT) is necessary.
• The heatsink protrusion attachment is not interchangeable.
The enclosure cut dimensions of the FR-A520-3.7K or lower, FR-A520-30K, FR-A520-55K or higher, FR-A540-3.7K or
lower, FR-A540-11K and 15K, and FR-A540-75K or higher are not compatible.
NOTE
• For the installation size and the outline dimensions of the separated converter type, refer to the FR-A802 (Separated
Converter Type) Instruction Manual (Hardware).
Converter
Built-in for all capacities
An optional converter unit (FR-CC2) is required for
separated converter types.
DC reactor
The 75K or higher comes with a DC reactor (FR-
HEL).
For the FR-A820-03800(75K) or higher, the FR-
A840-02160(75K) or higher, and when a 75 kW or
higher motor is used, select a DC reactor suitable
for the applicable motor capacity. (A DC reactor is
not included.)
Separated converter types (converter unit FR-CC2)
and IP55 compatible models have a built-in DC
reactor.
