Precautions 
5.1 
Connection 
to 
Main 
Circuit 
(Refer 
to 
page11, 
Fig. 
5.1.) 
Observe the following precautions when making connections to the inverter. 
Confirmation of power 
OFF:  Always turn the primary power distribution panel switch OFF, and 
confirm with a tester that a voltage is not present before beginning 
wiring to the inverter. 
Electrical shock prevention-
Confirmation of charge 
dissipation: 
Confirmation of main circuit 
connections: 
Separation of power source 
and motor wiring: 
Separation of control and 
main power supplies: 
Before changing the wiring, wait at least five minutes after the 
"CHARGE" lamp inside the inverter has gone out, and then confirm 
that the capacitors have 
fully discharged by using a tester, etc., that 
can measure high-voltage 
DC. The internal electrolytic capacitors are 
charged, and there is a danger 
of 
electrical shock if the charged areas 
are touched while the 
"CHARGE" lamp is on. 
Do 
not touch the terminal 
block or remove the upper cover while the lamp is lit. 
The inverter 
will be damaged if the input power source is applied to 
the motor terminals 
(UfT1, 
vrr2, 
WfT3). Always confirm the wiring for 
the power source terminals (R/L 1, S/L2, T/L3) and motor terminals 
(UfT1, V!T2, WfT3) before turning the power on. 
To prevent problems due to radio-frequency noise, etc., do not bundle 
the wiring to the input power terminals (R/L 
1, S/L2, T/L3) and the 
motor terminals 
(UfT1, V!T2, WfT3) together. 
In 
order to maintain the control power supply to display faults or to 
operate the communication options 
while the main circuit power is 
shut down, remove the two shorting bars (between R/L1-RO, 
S/L2-SO) 
on 
the control power supply terminal block. Connect the control 
power to a power source that is separate from the main circuit supply. 
5.2 
Connection 
of 
Control 
Signals 
Observe the following points when making control signal connections. 
Rating of relay contacts: 
Use a relay intended for use with micro-current (min. applicable load 
rating 
less than 4mA-24V. 
), 
and install a surge killer 
on 
the relay's 
exciting coil. 
Power wiring for control circuit: 
Use shielded wiring or twisted-pair wiring for the control circuit, and 
separate the wiring from the main circuit wiring. 
Control wiring wire sizes: 
Isolation from main circuit: 
The 
following wiring sizes for the control circuit are recommended. 
Frequency setting signal input, frequency meter, ammeter: shielded 
wire that 
is 
0.3mm
2 
or lager 
Other signals: Vinyl-insulated wire that 
is 
0.75mm
2 
or larger 
All control terminals other than FLA, FLB and FLC are connected to 
internal electronic circuits, so input signals must 
always be electrically 
isolated from the main circuit.
