Do not attempt to install, operate, maintain or inspect the inverter until you have read through this instruction manual and
appended documents carefully and can use the equipment correctly.
Do not use the inverter until you have a full knowledge of the equipment, safety information and instructions.
In this instruction manual, the safety instruction levels are classified into "WARNING" and "CAUTION".
WARNING Assumes that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe
injury.
Assumes that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in medium or
CAUTION slight injury, or may cause physical damage only.
Note that the CAUTION level may lead to a serious consequence according to conditions. Please follow the instructions of both
levels because they are important to personnel safety.
1. Electric Shock Prevention
WARNING
While power is on or when the inverter is running, do not open the front cover. You may get an electric shock.
Do not run the inverter with the front cover removed. Otherwise, you may access the exposed high-voltage terminals or the
charging part of the circuitry and get an electric shock.
Even if power is off, do not remove the front cover except for wiring or periodic inspection. You may access the charged inverter
circuits and get an electric shock.
Before starting wiring or inspection, check to make sure that the inverter power indicator lamp is off, wait for at least 10 minutes
after the power supply has been switched off, and check that there are no residual voltage using a tester or the like. The capacitor is
charged with high voltage for some time after power off and it is dangerous.
This inverter must be earthed (grounded). Earthing (grounding) must conform to the requirements of national and local safety
regulations and electrical code. (JIS, NEC section 250, IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable standards)
Any person who is involved in the wiring or inspection of this equipment should be fully competent to do the work.
Always install the inverter before wiring. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock or be injured.
Perform setting dial and key operations with dry hands to prevent an electric shock.
Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or pinching. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock.
Do not change the cooling fan while power is on. To do so will invite a hazardous condition.
2. Fire Prevention
CAUTION
Mount the inverter on an incombustible surface. Installing the inverter directly on or near a combustible surface could lead to a fire.
If the inverter has become faulty, switch off the inverter power. A continuous flow of large current could cause a fire.
When using a brake resistor, make up a sequence that will turn off power when an alarm signal is output. Otherwise, the brake
resistor may excessively overheat due to damage of the brake transistor and such, causing a fire.
Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals P/+, N/-. This could cause a fire.
3. Injury Prevention
CAUTION
Apply only the voltage specified in the instruction manual to each terminal to prevent damage etc.
Ensure that the cables are connected to the correct terminals. Otherwise, damage etc. may occur.
Always make sure that polarity is correct to prevent damage etc.
While power is on and for some time after power-off, do not touch the inverter as it is hot and you may get burnt.

4. Additional Instructions
Also note the following points to prevent an accidental failure, injury, electric shock, etc.
(1) Transportation and installation
CAUTION
When carrying products, use correct lifting gear to prevent injury.
Do not stack the inverter boxes higher than the number recommended.
Ensure that installation position and material can withstand the weight of the inverter. Install according to the information in the
Instruction Manual.
Do not operate if the inverter is damaged or has parts missing.
Do not hold the inverter by the front cover; it may fall off.
Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the inverter.
Check the inverter mounting orientation is correct.
Prevent screws, wire fragments, conductive bodies, oil or other flammable substances from entering the inverter.
Do not drop the inverter, or subject it to impact.
Use the inverter under the following environmental conditions:
-10°C to +50°C (14°F to 122°F) (non-freezing)
Ambient temperature (-10°C to +40°C with totally ecclosed structure specification attachment (FR-A5CV))
(14°F to 104°F)
Environment
Ambient humidity 90%RH or less (non-condensing)

Storage temperature -20°C to +65°C* (-4°F to 149°F)
Ambience Indoors (free from corrosive gas, flammable gas, oil mist, dust and dirt)
Maximum 1000m (3280.80 feet.) above sea level for standard operation.
After that derate by 3% for every extra 500m(1640.40 feet.) up to 2500m(8202.00 feet.)
Altitude, vibration (91%).
5.9 m/s2 or less (conforming to JIS C 60068-2-6)
*Temperatures applicable for a short time, e.g. in transit.
(2) Wiring
CAUTION
Do not fit capacitive equipment such as a power factor correction capacitor, surge suppressor or radio noise filter (option FR-BIF)
to the inverter output side.
The connection orientation of the output cables (terminals U, V, W) to the motor will affect the direction of rotation of the motor.
(3) Trial run
CAUTION
Check all parameters, and ensure that the machine will not be damaged by a sudden start-up.
(4) Operation
WARNING
When you have chosen the retry function, stay away from the equipment as it will restart suddenly after an alarm stop.
The [STOP] key is valid only when the appropriate function setting has been made. Prepare an emergency stop switch separately.
Make sure that the start signal is off before resetting the inverter alarm. A failure to do so may restart the motor suddenly.
The load used should be a three-phase induction motor only. Connection of any other electrical equipment to the inverter output
may damage the equipment.
Do not modify the equipment.
Do not perform parts removal which is not instructed in this manual. Doing so may lead to fault or damage of the inverter.
CAUTION
The electronic thermal relay function does not guarantee protection of the motor from overheating.
Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter input for frequent starting/stopping of the inverter.
Use a noise filter to reduce the effect of electromagnetic interference. Otherwise nearby electronic equipment may be affected.
Take measures to suppress harmonics. Otherwise power supply harmonics from the inverter may heat/damage the power capacitor
and generator.
When a 400V class motor is inverter-driven, please use an insulation-enhanced motor or measure taken to suppress surge
voltages. Surge voltages attributable to the wiring constants may occur at the motor terminals, deteriorating the insulation of the
motor.
When parameter clear or all clear is performed, each parameter returns to the factory setting. Re-set the required parameters
before starting operation.
The inverter can be easily set for high-speed operation. Before changing its setting, examine the performance of the motor and
machine.
In addition to the inverter's holding function, install a holding device to ensure safety.
Before running an inverter which had been stored for a long period, always perform inspection and test operation.
A-2

(5) Emergency stop
CAUTION
Provide a safety backup such as an emergency brake which will prevent the machine and equipment from hazardous conditions if
the inverter fails.
When the breaker on the inverter primary side trips, check for the wiring fault (short circuit), damage to internal parts of the inverter,
etc. Identify the cause of the trip, then remove the cause and power on the breaker.
When any protective function is activated, take the appropriate corrective action, then reset the inverter, and resume operation.
(6) Maintenance, inspection and parts replacement
CAUTION
Do not carry out a megger (insulation resistance) test on the control circuit of the inverter.
(7) Disposing of the inverter
CAUTION
Treat as industrial waste.

2.1 Installation
2.1.1 Instructions for installation
1) Handle the unit carefully.
The inverter uses plastic parts. Handle it gently to protect it from damage. Also, hold the unit with even
strength and do not apply too much strength to the front cover alone.
2) Install the inverter in a place where it is immune to vibration. (5.9 m/s2 or less)
Also note the cart, press, etc.
3) Note on ambient temperature
The life of the inverter is under great influence of ambient temperature. In the place of installation, ambient
temperature must be within the permissible range (-10°C to +50°C (14°F to 122°F)). Check that the
ambient temperature is within that range in the positions shown in figure 3).
4) Install the inverter on a non-combustible surface.
The inverter will be very hot (maximum about 150°C (302°F)). Install it on a non-combustible surface (e.g.
metal). Also leave sufficient clearances around the inverter.
5) Avoid high temperature and high humidity.
Avoid direct sunlight and places of high temperature and high humidity.
6) The amount of heat generated in an enclosure can be reduced considerably by placing the heatsink
outside the enclosure.
Note: 1. Use the option (FR-A5CN) for installation. The mounting area should be cut to the panel
cutting dimensions.
2. The cooling section outside the enclosure has the cooling fan. Do not use the inverter in any
environment where it is exposed to waterdrops, oil mist, dust, etc.
7) Avoid places where the inverter is exposed to oil mist, flammable gases, fluff, dust, dirt etc.
Install the inverter in a clean place or inside a "totally enclosed" panel, which does not accept any
suspended matter.
8) Note the cooling method when the inverter is installed in an enclosure.
When two or more inverters are installed or a ventilation fan is mounted in an enclosure, the inverters and
ventilation fan must be installed in proper positions with extreme care taken to keep the ambient
temperatures of the inverters below the permissible value. If they are installed in improper positions, the
ambient temperatures of the inverters will rise and ventilation effect will be reduced.
9) Install the inverter securely in the vertical direction with screws or bolts.

2.2.2 Wiring of the main circuit
(1) Wiring instructions
1) Crimping terminals with insulation sleeves are recommended for use with the power and motor cables.
2) Cut the protective bushes of the wiring cover when running the cables. (22K or less)
3) Power must not be applied to the output terminals (U, V, W) of the inverter. Otherwise the inverter will be
damaged.
4) After wiring, wire off-cuts must not be left in the inverter.
Wire off-cuts can cause an alarm, failure or malfunction. Always keep the inverter clean.
When drilling mounting holes in a control box etc., exercise care to prevent chips and other foreign
matter from entering the inverter.
5) Use cables of the recommended size for wiring to make the voltage drop 2% or less.
If the wiring distance is long between the inverter and motor, a main circuit cable voltage drop will cause
the motor torque to decrease especially at the output of a low frequency. (A selection example for the
wiring length of 20m (65.62 feet) is shown on page 19.)
6) The overall wiring length should be 500m (1640.40 feet) maximum.
Especially for long distance wiring, the overcurrent protection may be misactivated or the devices
connected to the output side may misoperate or become faulty under the influence of a charging current 2
due to the stray capacitance of the wiring. Therefore, the maximum overall wiring length should be as
indicated in the following table. (When two or more motors are connected to the inverter, the total wiring
length should be within the indicated value.)
Inverter Capacity 0.4K 0.75K 1.5K or more
Non-low acoustic noise mode 300m (984.24 feet) 500m (1640.40 feet) 500m (1640.40 feet)

300m
(984.24 feet)
300m (984.24 feet) + 300m (984.24 feet) = 600m (1968.48 feet)
7) Connect only the recommended optional brake resistor between the terminals P and PR <+ and PR>.
These terminals must not be shorted.
8) Electromagnetic wave interference
The input/output (main circuit) of the inverter includes high frequency, which may interfere with the
communication devices (such as AM radios) used near the inverter. In this case, install the FR-BIF
optional radio noise filter (for use on the input side only) or FR-BSF01 or FR-BLF line noise filter to
minimize interference.
15

9) Do not install a power capacitor, surge suppressor or radio noise filter (FR-BIF option) on the output side
of the inverter.
This will cause the inverter to trip or the capacitor and surge suppressor to be damaged. If any of the
above devices are installed, immediately remove them. (If the FR-BIF radio noise filter is connected,
switching power off during motor operation may result in E.UVT. In this case, connect the radio noise
filter on the primary side of the electromagnetic contactor.)
10) When rewiring after operation, make sure that the POWER lamp has gone off, and when more than 10
minutes have elapsed after power-off, check with a meter that the voltage is zero. After that, start
rewiring work. For some time after power-off, there is a dangerous voltage in the capacitor.
11) Use the space on the left-hand side of the main circuit terminal block to wire the cables for connection of
the control circuit power supply terminals R1, S1 <L11, L21> of the FR-A520-11K.

CAUTION
Do not use residual current protective device as the only protection against indirect
contact.
Protective earth (ground) connection essential.
Do not connect more than 2 wires on the protective earth (ground) terminal.
Use contactor and no fuse breaker EN/IEC standard compliant.
Use transformer or surge absorber EN/IEC standard compliant.
Notes on Earthing (Grounding)

• Leakage currents flow in the inverter. To prevent an electric shock, the inverter and motor must be
earthed (grounded). Earthing (grounding) must conform to the requirements of national and local safety
regulations and electrical code. (JIS, NEC section 250, IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable standards)
• Use the dedicated earth (ground) terminal to earth (ground) the inverter. (Do not use the screw in the
case, chassis, etc.)
• Use the thickest possible earth (ground) cable.Use (Unit: mm2)
the cable whose size is equal to or greater than Earth (Ground)
Motor Capacity Cable Gauge

(5) Connecting the control circuit to a power supply separately from the main circuit
If the magnetic contactor (MC) on the inverter power supply side is opened when the protective circuit is
operated, the inverter control circuit power is lost and the alarm output signal cannot be kept on. To keep the
alarm signal, terminals R1 and S1 are available. In this case, connect the power supply terminals R1 and S1
<L11 and L21> of the control circuit to the primary side of the MC.

Note: 1. When the main circuit power (R, S, T) <L1 L2, L3> is on, do not switch off the control power
(terminals R1, S1 <L11, L21>). Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.
2. When using a separate power supply, the jumpers across R-R1 and S-S1 <L1-L11 and L2-L21>
must be removed. Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.
3. For a different power supply system, which takes the power of the control circuit from other than
the primary side of the MC, the voltage should be equal to the main circuit voltage.
4. For the FR-A520-5.5K to 55K, FR-A540-5.5K to 55K, the power supply cables must not be
connected to the lower terminals. If connected, the inverter may be damaged.
5. Supplying power to only terminals R1 <L11> and S1 <L21> and entering the start signal will result
in an error display (E.OC1).

2.2.3 Wiring of the control circuit
(1) Wiring instructions
1) Terminals SD, SE and 5 are common to the I/O signals and isolated from each other. Do not earth
(ground) these terminals. Avoid connecting the terminals SD and 5 and the terminals SE and 5.
2) Use shielded or twisted cables for connection to the control circuit terminals and run them away from the
main and power circuits (including the 200V relay sequence circuit).
3) Since the control circuit input signals are micro currents, use two or more parallel micro signal contacts or
a twin contact to prevent a contact fault.
4) It is recommended to use the cables of 0.75mm2 gauge for connection to the control circuit terminals.
If the cable gauge used is 1.25mm2 or more, the front cover may be lifted when there are many cables
running or the cables are run improperly, resulting in an operation panel or parameter unit contact fault.
(2) Terminal block layout
• NA version
In the control circuit of the inverter, the terminals are arranged as shown below:
Terminal screw size: M3.5
Tightening torque: 1.2N⋅m 2
A B C PC AM 10E 10 2 5 4 1
RL RM RH RT AU STOP MRS RES SD FM
SE RUN SU IPF OL FU SD STF STR JOG CS

Tightening torque: 1.2N⋅m
A B C SD AM 10E 10 2 5 4 1 RL RM RH RT AU
SE RUN SU LPF OL FU STOP MRS RES PC STF STR JOG CS FM SD
<Wiring procedure>
1) For the wiring of the control circuit, strip the sheaths of the cables and use them as they are.
Strip the sheath to the following dimension. A too long stripping dimension may cause a short circuit with
the neighboring cable. A too short dimension may cause cable disconnection.
6mm ± 1mm
2) Loosen the terminal screw and insert the cable into the terminal.
3) Tighten the screw to the specified torque.
Undertightening can cause cable disconnection or malfunction. Overtightening can cause a short circuit or
malfunction due to the screw or unit damaged.
Note: Wire the stripped cable by twisting it to prevent it from becoming loose. (Do not plate the cable with
solder.)
Note: 1. Use a MCCB (Moulded case circuit breaker) or fuse on the inverter input (primary) side.
2. Make sure that the control circuit terminal wiring does not touch power circuit terminals (or
screws) or conducting power circuit.
21

(3) Changing the control logic
The input signals are set to sink logic for the NA version, and to source Logic for the EC version.
To change the control logic, the jumper connector on the back of the control circuit terminal block must be
moved to the other position.
(The output signals may be used in either the sink or source logic independently of the jumper connector
position.)
1) Loosen the two installation screws in both ends of the control circuit terminal block. (The screws cannot be
removed.)
Pull down the terminal block from the back of the control circuit terminals.
2) Remove the jumper connector in the sink logic position on the back surface of the control circuit terminal
block and fit it in the source logic position.

3) Using care not to bend the pins of the control circuit connector, reinstall the control circuit terminal block
and fix it with the installation screws.
Note: 1. Make sure that the control circuit connector is fitted correctly.
2. While power is on, never disconnect the control circuit terminal block.
3. The sink-source logic change-over jumper connector must be fitted in only one of those positions.
If it is fitted in both positions at the same time, the inverter may be damaged.

4) Sink logic type
• In this logic, a signal switches on when a current flows out of the corresponding signal input terminal.
Terminal SD is common to the contact input signals. Terminal SE is common to the open collector output
signals.

3) Using the "PC" terminal
This terminal can be used as 24VDC power output using SD as a common terminal.
Specifications: 18V to 26VDC, 0.1A permissible current
Note that the wiring length should be within 30m (98.43 feet.).
Do not short terminals PC-SD.
When terminal PC is used as a 24V power supply, leakage current from transistor output cannot be
prevented.

Note: 1. Make connections in accordance with the instruction manual of the computer used.
Fully check the terminal numbers of the computer as they differ between models.
2. There may be the influence of reflection depending on the transmission speed and/or
transmission distance. If this reflection hinders communication, provide a terminal resistor. If the
PU connector is used to make a connection, use a distributor as a terminal resistor cannot be
fitted. Connect the terminal resistor only to the inverter remotest from the computer. (Terminal
resistor: 100Ω)

2.2.5 Connection of stand-alone option units
The inverter accepts a variety of stand-alone option units as required.
Incorrect connection will cause inverter damage or accident. Connect and operate the option unit carefully in
accordance with the corresponding option unit manual.
(1) Connection of the dedicated external brake resistor (FR-ABR)

The built-in brake resistor is connected across terminals P <+> and PR. Fit the external dedicated brake
resistor (FR-ABR) instead when the built-in brake resistor does not have enough thermal capability for high-
duty operation. Remove the jumper from across terminals PR-PX and connect the dedicated brake resistor
(FR-ABR) across terminals P-PR <+ -PR>.
Set "1" in Pr. 30 "regenerative function selection" and "10%" in Pr. 70 "special regenerative brake duty."
(Refer to page 85)
(For the positions of terminals P and PR, refer to the terminal block arrangement (page 17 and 18).)
Note: 1. The brake resistor connected should only be the dedicated brake resistor.
2. The jumper across terminals PR-PX (7.5K or less) must be disconnected before connecting the
dedicated brake resistor. A failure to do so may damage the inverter.
• Model ..............FR-A520-0.4K to 3.7K-NA, FR-A540-0.4K to 3.7K-NA/-EC

1) Remove the screws in terminals PR and PX and remove the jumper.

Note: 1. Connect the inverter terminals (P, N) <+, -> and FR-BU brake unit terminals so that their terminal 2
signals match with each other. (Incorrect connection will damage the inverter.) For model 7.5K or
less, the jumper across terminals PR-PX must be removed.
2. The wiring distance between the inverter, brake unit and resistor unit should be within 5m (16.40
feet). If twisted wires are used, the distance should be within 10m (32.81 feet).
3. When the transistor in the brake unit fails, the brake transistor becomes extremely hot and it has
a chance to get fire. Therefore, install a magnetic contactor on the inverter's power supply side to
shut off a current in case of failure.
4. When the power supply is 400V class, install a step-down transformer.

Note: 1. For models 7.5K or less, remove the jumper across terminals PR-PX.
2. The wiring distance between the inverter, brake unit and discharge resistor should be within
2m (6.56 feet).
If twisted wires are used, the distance should be within 5m (16.40 feet).
3. When the transistor in the brake unit fails, the brake transistor bacomes extremely hot and it has
a chance to get fire. Therefore, install a magnetic contactor on the inverter's power supply side to
shut off current in case of failure.
4. When the power supply is 400V class, install a step-down transformer.
(4) Connection of the FR-HC type high power factor converter (FR-HC)
When connecting the high power factor converter (FR-HC) to suppress power supply harmonics, perform
wiring securely as shown below. Wrong connection will damage the high power factor converter and inverter.
After making sure that the wiring is correct, set "2" in Pr. 30 "regenerative function selection".

Note: 1. Do not insert MCCB between terminals P-N <+ - –> (P/+ -P<+ - P>, N/– - N < – -N>).
2. Remove the jumpers across terminals R-R1 and S-S1 <L1-R1 and L2-S1> of the inverter, and
connect the control circuit power supply across terminals R1-S1 <L11·L21>. The power input
terminals R, S, T <L1, L2, L3> must be open. Incorrect connection will damage the inverter.
Opposite polarity of terminals N <->, P <+> will also damage the inverter.
3. The voltage phases of terminals R, S, T <L1, L2, L3> and terminals R4, S4, T4 must be matched
before connection.
4. Use Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 (input terminal function selection) to assign the terminals used for the X10
and X11 signals.
Use the X11 signal when using the computer link plug-in option (FR-A5NR). (Refer to page 85)
5. When the FR-HC is connected, use sink logic (factory setting). For source logic, the FR-HC
cannot be connected. (For the EC version, select the sink logic.)
(5) Connection of the power regeneration common converter (FR-CV)

When connecting the FR-CV type power regeneration common converter, connect the inverter terminals (P/
+, N/–) and FR-CV type power regeneration common converter terminals as shown below so that their
signals match with each other. After making sure that the wiring is correct, set "2" in Pr. 30 "regenerative

Note: 1. Remove the jumpers across the R-R1 <L1-L11> and S-S1 <L2-L21> terminals of the inverter,
and connect the control circuit power supply across terminals R1-S1 <L11-L21>. The power
input terminals R, S, T <L1, L2, L3> must be open. Accidental connection will damage the
inverter. Opposite polarity of terminals N/-, P/+ will damage the inverter.
2. The voltage phases of terminals R/L11, S/L21, T/MC1 and terminals R2/L1, S2/L2, T2/L3 must
be matched before connection.
3. Use Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 (input terminal function selection) to assign the terminals used for the X10
signal. (Refer to page 155.)
4. When the FR-CV is connected, use sink logic (factory setting). For source logic, the FR-CV
cannot be connected. (For the EC version, select the sink logic.)
5. Do not insert MCCB between terminals P-N <+ - –> (P/L+-P <P/L+ - +>, N/L– - N <N/L– - –>)
6. Make sure terminals R/L11, S/L21, T/MC1 are connected to the power supply. Running the
inverter without connecting the terminals will damage the power regeneration common converter.

(6) Connection of the power regeneration converter (FR-RC)
(For power coordination, always install the power factor improving reactor (FR-BAL).)
When connecting the FR-RC type power regeneration converter, connect the inverter terminals (P/+, N/-) and
FR-RC type power regeneration converter terminals as shown below so that their signals match with each
other. After making sure that the wiring is correct, set "0" in Pr. 30 "regenerative function selection".

2. How to connect the FR-BAL power factor improving AC reactor (option)
When using two or more inverters in the same system, small impedance between the inverters
will cause a regenerative current from the power regeneration converter to leak into the other
inverters, resulting in overcurrent alarm of the other inverters. To prevent this, install a power
factor improving AC reactor on the power supply side for all the inverters.
3. Do not insert MCCB between terminals P-N <+ - –> (P/+ -P/+ <+ - P/+>, N/– - N/– <– - N/->).

will not function. Remove

the jumper.
Note: 1. The wiring distance should be within 5m (16.40 feet).

2. The size of the cables used should be equal to or larger than that of the power supply cables
(R, S, T) <L1, L2, L3>.

2.2.6 Design information
1) When performing commercial power supply-inverter switchover operation, securely provide electrical and
mechanical interlocks for the MC1 and MC2 used for commercial power supply-inverter switchover.
When there is a commercial power supply-inverter switchover circuit as shown below, the inverter will be
damaged by leakage current from the power supply due to arcs generated at the time of switchover or
chattering caused by a sequence error.
2) If the machine must not be restarted when power is restored after a power failure, provide a magnetic
contactor in the inverter's primary circuit and also make up a sequence which will not switch on the start
signal.
If the start signal (start switch) remains on after a power failure, the inverter will automatically restart as
soon as the power is restored.
3) When the power supply used with the control circuit is different from the one used with the main circuit,
make up a circuit which will switch off the main circuit power supply terminals R, S, T <L1, L2, L3> when
the power supply terminals R1, S1 <L11, L21> for the control circuit are switched off.
4) Since the input signals to the control circuit are on a low level, use two or more parallel micro signal
2
contacts or a twin contact for contact inputs to prevent a contact fault.
5) Do not apply a large voltage to the contact input terminals (e.g. STF) of the control circuit.
6) Always apply a voltage to the alarm output signal terminals (A, B, C) via a relay coil, lamp, etc.
7) Make sure that the specifications and rating match the system requirements.

2.3 Other wiring
2.3.1 Power supply harmonics
Power supply harmonics may be generated from the converter section of the inverter, affecting power supply
equipment, power capacitors, etc. Power supply harmonics are different in generation source, frequency and
transmission path from radio frequency (RF) noise and leakage currents. Take the following measures.
• The differences between harmonics and RF noise are indicated below:

Item Harmonics RF Noise
Normally 40th to 50th degrees or less, (up
Frequency High frequency (several 10kHz to 1GHz order)

Note: A power factor improving capacitor or surge suppressor on the inverter's output may overheat or
be damaged due to the harmonics of the inverter output. Also, since an excessive current flows in
the inverter to activate overcurrent protection, do not provide a capacitor and surge suppressor on
the inverter output side when the motor is driven by the inverter. To improve the power factor,
insert a power factor improving reactor on the inverter's primary side or in the DC circuit.
For details, refer to the FR-A500/E500 series technical information.
2.3.2 Inverter-generated noises and their reduction techniques

Some noises enter the inverter to malfunction it and others are radiated by the inverter to malfunction
peripheral devices. Though the inverter is designed to be insusceptible to noise, it handles low-level signals,
so it requires the following basic measures to be taken. Also, since the inverters chops outputs at high carrier
frequency, that could generate noise. If these noises cause peripheral devices to malfunction, measures
should be taken to suppress the noise. These techniques differ slightly depending on noise propagation
paths.
1) Basic techniques
• Do not run the power cables (I/O cables) and signal cables of the inverter in parallel with each other and
do not bundle them.
• Use twisted pair shielded cables for the detector connection and control signal cables, and connect the
sheathes of the shielded cables to terminal SD.
• Earth (Ground) the inverter, motor, etc. at one point.
34

2) Measures against noises which enter and cause misoperation of the inverter
When devices that generate many noises (which use magnetic contactors, magnetic brakes, many relays,
for example) are installed near the inverter and the inverter may be effected by noises, the following
measures must be taken:
• Provide surge suppressors for devices that generate many noises to suppress noises.
• Fit data line filters (refer to page 36) to signal cables.
• Earth (Ground) the shields of the detector connection and control signal cables with cable clamp metal.
3) Techniques to reduce noises that are radiated by the inverter to malfunction peripheral devices.
Inverter-generated noises are largely classified into those radiated by the cables connected to the inverter
and inverter main circuit (I/O), those electromagnetically and electrostatically inducted to the signal cables
of the peripheral devices close to the main circuit power supply, and those transmitted through the power
supply cables.

Noise Path Measures

When devices that handle low-level signals and are liable to malfunction due to noises, e.g. instruments,
receivers and sensors, are contained in the enclosure that contains the inverter or when their signal cables are
run near the inverter, the devices may be malfunctioned by air-propagated noises. The following measures must
be taken:
(1) Install easily affected devices as far away as possible from the inverter.
1) 2) 3) (2) Run easily affected signal cables as far away as possible from the inverter.
(3) Do not run the signal cables and power cables (inverter I/O cables) in parallel with each other and do not
bundle them.
(4) Inset line noise filters into I/O and radio noise filters into input side to suppress cable-radiated noises.
(5) Use shielded cables for signal cables and power cables and run them in individual metal conduits to produce
further effects.
When the signal cables are run in parallel with or bundled with the power cables, magnetic and static induction
noises may be propagated to the signal cables to malfunction the devices and the following measures must be
taken:
(1) Install easily affected devices as far away as possible from the inverter.
4) 5) 6) (2) Run easily affected signal cables as far away as possible form the inverter.
(3) Do not run the signal cables and power cables (inverter I/O cables) in parallel with each other and do not
bundle them.
(4) Use shielded cables for signal cables and power cables and run them in individual metal conduits to reduce
further effects.
When the power supplies of the peripheral devices are connected to the power supply of the inverter in the
same line, inverter-generated noises may flow back through the power supply cables to misoperate the devices
7) and the following measures must be taken:
(1) Install the radio noise filter (FR-BIF) to the power cables (input cables) of the inverter.
(2) Install the line noise filter (FR-BLF, FR-BSF01) to the power cables (I/O cables) of the inverter.
When a closed loop circuit is formed by connecting the peripheral device wiring to the inverter, leakage currents
8) may flow through the earth (ground) cable of the inverter to malfunction the device. In such a case,
disconnection of the earth (ground) cable of the device may cause the device to operate properly.

• Data line filter
Noise entry can be prevented by providing a data line filter for the detector cable etc.
• Data examples
By decreasing the carrier frequency, the noise terminal voltage* can be
reduced. Use Pr. 72 to set the carrier frequency to a low value (1kHz).
Though motor noise increases at a low carrier frequency, selection of
Soft-PWM in Pr. 240 will make it unoffending.

reduced by moving the signal cables away from the inverter output
cables. (Separation of 30cm(11.81 inches) reduces noise to 1/2-1/3.)
By fitting the FR-BSF01 or BLF on the inverter output side, induction
noise to the signal cables can be reduced.

2.3.3 Leakage currents and countermeasures
Leakage currents flow through static capacitances existing in the inverter I/O wiring and motor. Since their
values depend on the static capacitances, carrier frequency, etc., take the following measures.
(1) To-earth (ground) leakage currents

Leakage currents may flow not only into the inverter's own line but also into the other line through the earth
(ground) cable, etc. These leakage currents may operate earth (ground) leakage circuit breakers and earth
(ground) leakage relays unnecessarily.
• Countermeasures
⋅ Decrease the carrier frequency (Pr. 72) of the inverter.
Note that motor noise increases. Selection of Soft-PWM (Pr. 240) will make it unoffending.
⋅ By using earth(ground) leakage circuit breakers designed for harmonic and surge suppression in the
inverter's own line and other line, operation can be performed with the carrier frequency kept high (with
low noise).
• To-earth (ground) leakage current

⋅ Note that a long wiring length will increase leakage currents. Decrease the carrier frequency of the 2
inverter to reduce leakage currents.
⋅ Higher motor capacity leads to larger leakage currents. Larger leakage currents occur in 400V class than
in 200V class.
(2) Line-to-line leakage currents

Harmonics of leakage currents flowing in static capacities between the inverter output cables may operate
the external thermal relay unnecessarily. When the wiring length is long (50m (164.04 feet) or more) for the
400V class small-capacity model (7.5kW (10HP) or less), the external thermal relay is likely to operate
unnecessarily because the ratio of the leakage current to the rated motor current increases.

• Countermeasures
⋅ Use the electronic thermal relay function (Pr. 9) of the inverter.
⋅ Decrease the carrier frequency. Note that motor noise increases. Selection of Soft-PWM (Pr. 240) will
make it unoffending.
To ensure that the motor is protected against line-to-line leakage currents, it is recommended to use a
temperature sensor to directly detect motor temperature.
37

2.3.4 Inverter-driven 400V class motor
In the PWM type inverter, a surge voltage attributable to wiring constants is generated at the motor terminals.
Especially for a 400V class motor, the surge voltage may deteriorate the insulation. When the 400V class
motor is driven by the inverter, consider the following measures.
• Measures
It is recommended to take either of the following measures:
(1) Rectifying the motor insulation

For the 400V class motor, use an insulation-rectified motor. Specifically,
1) Specify the "400V class inverter-driven, insulation-rectified motor".
2) For the dedicated motor such as the constant-torque motor and low-vibration motor, use the "inverter-
driven, dedicated motor".
(2) Suppressing the surge voltage on the inverter side

On the secondary side of the inverter, connect the optional surge voltage suppression filter (FR-ASF-H).
38

2.3.5 Peripheral devices
(1) Selection of peripheral devices
Check the capacity of the motor to be used with the inverter you purchased. Appropriate peripheral devices
must be selected according to the capacity.

Note: 1. •Select the MCCB according to the inverter power supply capacity. MCCB INV IM
•Install one MCCB per inverter. MCCB INV IM
2. For installations in the United States or Canada, the circuit breaker must be inverse time or
instantaneous trip type.
3. When the breaker on the inverter primary side trips, check for the wiring fault (short circuit),
damage to internal parts of the inverter, etc. Identify the cause of the trip, then remove the cause
and power on the breaker.
4. Select a magnetic contactor indicated in parenthesis to use it for emergency stop during motor
driving.

(2) Selection of the rated sensitivity current for the earth (ground) leakage circuit
breaker
When using the earth (ground) leakage circuit breaker with the inverter circuit, select its rated sensitivity
current as follows, independent of the carrier frequency setting:
• Breaker designed for harmonic and surge

suppression: per 1km in cable path during of 3-phase induction motor
Rated sensitivity current: commercial power supply during commercial power

3. In the connection neutral point earthing (grounding) system, the sensitivity current is purified
against an earth (ground) fault on the inverter secondary side. Earthing (grounding) must conform
to the requirements of national and local safety regulations and electrical codes. (JIS, NEC
section 250, IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable standards)
4. When the breaker is installed on the secondary side of the inverter, it may be unnecessarily
operated by harmonics if the effective value is less than the rating. In this case, do not install the
breaker since the eddy current and hysteresis loss will increase, leading to temperature rise.
5. General products indicate the following models:
BV-C1, BC-V, NVB, NV-L, NV-G2N, NV-G3NA, NV-2F, earth (ground) leakage relay (except NV-

40

(3) Power-off and magnetic contactor (MC)
On the inverter primary side, it is recommended to provide an MC for the following purposes (Refer to page
39 for selection.):
1)To release the inverter from the power supply when the inverter protective function is activated or the drive
becomes faulty (e.g. emergency stop operation).
When cycle operation or heavy-duty operation is performed with an optional brake resistor connected,
overheat and burnout of the electrical-discharge resistor can be prevented if a regenerative brake
transistor is damaged due to insufficient heat capacity of the electrical-discharge resistor and excess
regenerative brake duty.
2)To prevent an accident due to an automatic restart made at power restoration after an inverter stop made
by a power failure.
3)To rest the inverter for an extended period of time.
The control power supply for inverter is always running and consumes a little power. When stopping the
inverter for an extended period of time, powering off the inverter will save power slightly.
4)To separate the inverter from the power supply to ensure safe maintenance and inspection work.
As the inverter's primary MC is used for the above purposes, select the one of class JEM1038-AC3 for the
inverter input side current when making an emergency stop during normal operation.
2
Note: The MC may be switched on/off to start/stop the inverter. However, since reapeated inrush
currents at power-on will shorten the life of the converter circuit (swithing life is about 100,000
times), frequent starts and stops must be avoided. Turn on/off the inverter start controlling
terminals (STF, STR) to run/stop the inverter.

2.3.7 Instructions for compliance with the European Directives
(The products conforming to the Low Voltage Directive carry the CE mark.)
(1) EMC Directive

1) Our view of transistorized inverters for the EMC Directive
A transistorized inverter is a component designed for installation in a control box and for use with the
other equipment to control the equipment/device. Therefore, we understand that the EMC Directive
does not apply directly to transistorized inverters. For this reason, we do not place the CE mark on the
transistorized inverters. (The CE mark is placed on inverters in accordance with the Low Voltage
Directive.) The European power drive manufacturers' organization (CEMEP) also holds this point of
view.
2) Compliance
We understand that the transistorized inverters are not covered directly by the EMC Directive.
However, the EMC Directive applies to machines/equipment into which transistorized inverters have
been incorporated, and these machines and equipment must carry the CE marks. Hence, we prepared
the European Standard-compliant noise filters and the technical information "EMC Installation
Guidelines" (information number BCN-A21041-202) so that machines and equipment incorporating
transistorized inverters may conform to the EMC Directive more easily.
3) Outline of installation method
It is recommended to mainly use the following methods to install an inverter:
* Use the inverter with an European Standard-compliant noise filter.
* For wiring between the inverter and motor, use shielded cables or run them in a metal piping and
earth (ground) the cables on the inverter and motor sides with the shortest possible distance.
* Insert a line noise filter and ferrite core into the power and control lines as required.
Full information including the European Standard-compliant noise filter specifications are written in the
technical information "EMC Installation Guidelines" (information number BCN-A21041-202).
Please contact your sales representative.
43

(2) Low Voltage Directive
1) Our view of transistorized inverters for the Low Voltage Directive
Transistorized inverters are covered by the Low Voltage Directive (compliant with Standard DIN
VDE0160).
2) Compliance
We have self-confirmed our inverters as products compliant to the Low Voltage Directive and place the
CE mark on the inverters.
3) Outline of instructions
* In the 400V class inverters, the rated input voltage range is three-phase, 380V to 415V, 50Hz/60Hz.
* Connect the equipment to the earth (ground) securely. Do not use an earth (ground) leakage circuit
breaker as an electric shock protector without connecting the equipment to the earth (ground).
* Wire the earth (ground) terminal independently. (Do not connect two or more cables to one terminal.)
* The wire size on pages 16 and 19 are shown for following conditions.
•Ambient Temperature: 40°C (104°F) maximum
•Wire installation: On wall without ducts or conduits
If conditions are different from above, select appropriate wire according to EN60204 ANNEX C TABLE 5.
* Use the moulded case circuit breaker and magnetic contactor that conform to the EN or IEC Standard.
* Use the breaker of type B (breaker that can detect both AC and DC). If not, provide double or
enhanced insulation between the inverter and other equipment, or put a transformer between the
main power supply and inverter.
* Use the inverter under the conditions of overvoltage category II and contamination level 2 or lower
specified in IEC664.
(a) To meet the overvoltage category II, insert an EN or IEC standard-compliant insulating
transformer or surge suppressor in the input of the inverter.
(b) To meet the contamination level 2, install the inverter in a control box protected against ingress of
water, oil, carbon, dust, etc. (IP54 or higher).
* In the input and output of the inverter, use cables of the type and size set forth in EN60204 Appendix C.
* The operating capacity of the relay outputs (terminal symbols A, B, C) should be 30VDC, 0.3A. (The
relay outputs are basically isolated from the inverter internal circuitry.)
* Control circuit terminals on page 12 are safely isolated from the main circuit.

2.3.8 Earthing (EC version)
(1) Earthing and Earth Leakage Current
(a) Purpose of Earthing
Electrical equipment usually has an Earthing Terminal, this must be connected to earth before using
equipment.
For protection, electric circuits are normally housed inside an insulated case. However it is impossible
to manufacture insulating materials that prevent all current from leaking across them, therefore it is
the function of the earth (safety earth) to prevent electric shocks when touching the case.
There is however, another important earthing function, which is to prevent equipment that uses very
weak signals (Audio equipment, sensors, transducers, etc.) or micro processors from being affected
by Radio Frequency Interference, (RFI) from external sources.
(b) Points to remember when Earthing

As detailed above there are two entirely different types of earthing and to attempt to use the same
earth for both will lead to problems. It is necessary to separate the "safety" earthing (a yellow/green
wire to prevent electric shocks) from the "FRI" earthing (a braided wire strap to counter radio noise).
The inverter output voltage does not take the form of a sine wave but of a modulated pulse wave form
causing "noisy" leakage current due to the capacitance of the insulation.
2
The same type of leakage current will occur in the motor due to the charging and discharging of the
insulation from the high frequency wave form. This trend becomes more pronounced with higher
carrier frequencies.
To solve this problem it is necessary to use separate "dirty" earthing for inverter and motor
installations an "clean" earting for equipment such as sensors, computers and audio equipment.
(2) Earthing methods

Two main types of earth
1-To prevent electrical shocks
Yellow and green cable
2-To prevent RFI induced malfunction
Braided strap
It is important to make a clear distinction between these two, and to keep them separate by following the
measures below.
a) When possible earth the inverter independently of other equipment.
If independent earthing is not possible, use a common earthing point.
Avoid connecting earthing wires together particularly on high power equipment such as motors and
inverters.
Independent earthing should always be used between sensitive equipment and inverters.
Other Other Other

equipment equipment equipment
(a) Independent earthing (b) common earthing (c) Grounding wire of

other equipment
b) Safety earths should be...
For 400V duty - 10Ω or less
For 200V duty - 100Ω or less
c) The safety earth should be as thick as possible, minimum thickness as stated in below table.
d) The earthing point should be as close to the inverter as possible, and the wire as short as possible.
45

e) The RFI earth should be a braided strap with a 10mm2 minimum cross sectional area, and as short as
possible.
f) The earths should be as far away from input and output cables (particularly to equipment sensitive to
RFI) as possible, and any distance where they are parallel should be kept to a minimum.
g) Design in RFI prevention before installation.

<Setting>
Assuming that the base frequency voltage is 100%, set the 0Hz voltage in %.
A large setting will cause the motor to overheat. The guideline for maximum value is about 10%. 4
Pr. 46 "second torque boost" is made valid when the RT signal turns on. Pr. 112 "third torque boost" is
made valid when the X9 signal turns on. Use any of Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 to assign the terminal used for X9
signal input. (Note 5)
Note: 1. When using a constant-torque motor, change the setting of this parameter as follows:
0.4K, 0.75K...6%, 1.5K to 3.7k, 4%, 5.5K or more...2%
2. This parameter setting is ignored when Pr. 80 and Pr. 81 have been set to select the advanced
magnetic flux vector control mode.
3. When the Pr. 0 setting is either of the following values for 5.5K and 7.5K, it is automatically
changed when the Pr.71 setting is changed:
(1) When Pr. 0 setting is 3% (factory setting)
The Pr. 0 setting is changed to 2% automatically when the Pr. 71 setting is changed from
[transistorized motor selection value (0, 2 to 8, 20, 23, 24)] to [constant-torque motor
selection value (1, 13 to 18)].
(2) When Pr. 0 setting is 2%
The Pr. 0 setting is changed to 3% (factory setting) automatically when the Pr. 71 setting is
changed from [constant-torque motor selection value (1, 13 to 18)] to [transistorized motor
selection value (0, 2 to 8, 20, 23, 24)].
4. Increase the setting when the inverter-to-motor distance is long or motor torque in the low-speed
range is insufficient, for example. A too large setting may result in an overcurrent trip.
5. The RX (X9) signal acts the second (third) function select signal and the other second (third) functions
are also made valid. Refer to page 155 for Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 (input terminal function selection).

<Setting>
• Use Pr. 1 to set the upper limit of the output frequency. If the frequency of the frequency command entered
is higher than the setting, the output frequency is clamped at the maximum frequency.
• To perform operation over 120Hz, set the upper limit of the output frequency in Pr. 18.
(When the Pr. 18 value is set, Pr. 1 automatically changes to the frequency in Pr. 18. Also, setting the Pr. 1
value automatically changes the Pr. 18 value to the frequency in Pr. 1.)
• Use Pr. 2 to set the lower limit of the output frequency.
Note: When the frequency setting analog signal is used to run the motor beyond 60Hz, change the Pr. 903
and Pr. 905 values. If Pr. 1 or Pr. 18 is only changed, the motor cannot run beyond 60Hz.
CAUTION
When the Pr. 2 setting is higher than the Pr. 13 "starting frequency" value, note that the
motor will run at the preset frequency according to the acceleration time setting by
merely switching the start signal on, even if the command frequency has not been enterd.

Pr. 113 "third V/F (base frequency) Pr. 84 "rated motor frequency"
Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 (input terminal

Used to adjust the inverter outputs (voltage, frequency) to the motor rating.
When running a standard motor, generally set the rated motor frequency. When running the motor using
the commercial power supply-inverter switchover, set the base frequency to the same value as the power
supply frequency.
Always set this frequency to "50Hz" if the frequency indicated in the motor rating plate is "50Hz" only.
Leaving the base frequency unchanged from "60Hz" may make the voltage too low and the torque
insufficient, resulting in an overload trip. Special, care must be taken when "1" is set in Pr. 14 "load pattern
selection".

• Pr. 47 "second V/F (base frequency)" is made valid when the RT signal turns on, and Pr. 113 "third V/F
(base frequency)" is made valid when the X9 signal turns on. Use any of Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 to assign the
terminal used for X9 signal input. (Note 4)
• Use Pr. 19 to set the base voltage (e.g. rated motor voltage).
Note: 1. When using the Mitsubishi constant-torque motor, set Pr. 3 "base frequency" to 60Hz.
2. When the advanced magnetic flux vector control mode has been selected using Pr. 80 and
Pr. 81, Pr. 3, Pr. 47, Pr. 113 and Pr. 19 are made invalid and Pr. 84 and Pr. 83 are made valid.
However, Pr. 3, Pr. 47 or Pr. 113 is made valid for the S-shaped inflection pattern point of Pr. 29.
3. When "2" (5-point flexible V/F characteristics) is set in Pr. 71, the Pr. 47 and Pr. 113 settings are
made invalid.
Also, "8888" and "9999" can not be set in Pr. 19.
4. The RT (X9) signal acts as the second function selection signal and makes the other second
functions valid. Refer to page 155 for Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 (input terminal function selection).

• Set the running frequencies in the corresponding parameters.
Each speed (frequency) can be set as desired between 0 and 400Hz during inverter operation.
After the required multi-speed setting parameter has been read, the setting can be changed by pressing
the key. (In this case, when you release the key, press the SET key to store the set
frequency. When using the FR-PU04 (option), press the WRITE key.)
• Use any of Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 to assign the terminal used to input the REX signal.
Note: 1. The priorities of the frequency commands are in order of jog, multi-speed operation, terminal 4 and
terminal 2.
2. The multi-speeds can also be set in the PU or external operation mode.
3. For 3-speed setting, if two or three speeds are simultaneously selected, priority is given to the set
frequency of the lower signal.
4. Pr. 24 to Pr. 27 and Pr. 232 to Pr. 239 settings have no priority between them.
5. The parameter values can be changed during operation.
6. When terminal assignment is changed using Pr. 180 to Pr. 186, other functions may be affected. Check
the functions of the corresponding terminals before making setting.
7. When only the REX signal on and Pr. 232 = "9999", the set frequency is changed to the value of low

2. If the Pr. 20 setting is changed, the settings of calibration functions Pr. 903 and Pr. 905
(frequency setting signal gains) remain unchanged. To adjust the gains, adjust calibration
functions Pr. 903 and Pr. 905.
3. When the setting of Pr. 7, Pr. 8, Pr. 44, Pr. 45, Pr. 110 or Pr. 111 is "0", the acceleration/
deceleration time is 0.04s. At this time, set 120Hz or less in Pr. 20.
4. If the shortest acceleration/deceleration time is set, the actual motor acceleration/deceleration time
cannot be made shorter than the shortest acceleration/deceleration time determined by the mechanical
system's J (moment of inertia) and motor torque.
5. Changing the Pr. 21 setting changes the setting values of acceleration/deceleration time (Pr. 7, Pr. 8, Pr.

Related parameters
Pr. 9 "electronic thermal O/L relay"
Set the current of the electronic overcurrent protection to protect the motor from overheat. This feature
provides the optimum protective characteristics, including reduced motor cooling capability, at low speed.
Parameter Number Factory Setting Setting Range
9 Rated output current* 0 to 500A
*0.4K and 0.75K are set to 85% of the rated inverter current.
<Setting>
• Set the rated current [A] of the motor.
(Normally set the rated current value at 50Hz if the motor has both 50Hz and 60Hz rated current.)
• Setting of "0" makes the electronic overcurrent protection (motor protective function) invalid. (The inverter's
output transistor protective function is valid.)
• When using the Mitsubishi constant torque motor, first set any of "1" or "13 to 18" in Pr.71. (This provides a
100% continuous torque characteristic in the low-speed range.) Then, set the rated motor current in Pr. 9.
Note: 1. When two or more motors are connected to the inverter, they cannot be protected by the
electronic overcurrent protection. Install an external thermal relay to each motor.
2. When a difference between the inverter and motor capacities is large and the setting is small, the
protective characteristics of the electronic overcurrent protection will be deteriorated. In this case,
use an external thermal relay.
3. A special motor cannot be protected by the electronic overcurrent protection. Use an external
thermal relay.

Set the output current level (% to the inverter rated current) at which the output frequency is adjusted so
that the inverter will not come to an alarm stop due to overcurrent etc.
For high-speed operation at or over the more base frequency, acceleration may not be made because the
motor current does not increase. To improve the operation characteristics of the motor in such a case, the
stall prevention level in the high-frequency range can be reduced. This is effective for operation of a
centrifugal separator up to the high-speed range. Normally, set 60Hz <50Hz> in Pr. 66 and 100% in Pr. 23.
For operation in the high-frequency range, the current in the locked motor state is smaller than the rated
output current of the inverter and the inverter does not result in an alarm (protective function is not activated)
if the motor is at a stop. To improve this and activate the alarm, the stall prevention level can be reduced.
In order to provide torque during stall prevention, Pr. 154 is factory-set not to reduce the output voltage.
The setting of reducing the output voltage further decreases the probability of overcurrent trip occurrence.
The stall prevention operation level can be varied by entering the analog signal into terminal 1.

• By setting "9999" (factory setting) in Pr. 23, the stall prevention operation level is constant at the Pr. 22
setting up to 400Hz.
• Set "9999" in Pr. 22 to vary the stall prevention operation level using the analog signal (0-5V/0-10V)
entered to the frequency setting auxiliary input terminal [1]. (Use Pr. 73 to select between 10V and 5V.)
• Use Pr. 148 and Pr. 149 to adjust the gain and bias of the analog signal.
• Set "0" in Pr. 154 to reduce the output voltage during stall prevention operation.
Note: 1. When Pr. 22 = "9999", terminal 1 is exclusively used for setting the stall prevention operation
level. The auxiliary input and override functions are not activated.
2. When high-response current limit is set in Pr. 156 (factory setting), do not set the Pr. 22 value to
170% or higher. If such setting is made, torque will not be developed.
CAUTION
Do not set a too small value as the stall prevention operation current. Otherwise,
torque generated will reduce.
Test operation must be performed. Stall prevention operation during acceleration may
increase the acceleration time.
Stall prevention operation during constant speed may change the speed suddenly. 4
Stall prevention operation during deceleration may increase the deceleration time,

Note: 1. In the V/F control mode, the motor speed is converted from the output frequency and does not
match the actual speed. When the advanced magnetic flux vector control mode has been
selected in Pr. 80 and 81, this display shows the calculated speed (estimated value found by
motor slippage calculation).
2. During encoder feedback control, the data displayed is the same as in advanced magnetic flux
vector control. Note that the speed displayed is the actual speed from the encoder.
3. When the running speed display has been selected with "0" set in Pr. 37 and "0" in Pr. 144, the
monitor display shows the speed reference for a 4-pole motor (1800r/min is displayed at 60Hz).
4. To change the PU main monitor (PU main display) or PU level meter (PU level display), refer to
Pr. 52 and Pr. 53.
5. As the operation panel display is 4 digits, "----" is displayed when the monitored value exceeds
"9999".
CAUTION
Make sure that the running speed and number of motor poles set are correct.
Otherwise, the motor might run at extremely high speed, damaging the machine.

Note: 1. When Pr. 49 = "9999", setting "0" in Pr. 48 disables the stall prevention function when the RT
signal switches on. When Pr. 49 ≠ "9999" and Pr. 48 = "0", the stall prevention operation level is
0% when the frequency is equal to or less than the value set in Pr. 49.
2. When the stall prevention operation level signal input function is selected (Pr. 22 = 9999), setting
"9999" in Pr. 49 changes the stall prevention operation level from the value of the stall prevention
operation level signal (terminal 1 input) to the value set in Pr. 48 when the RT signal switches on.
3. When both the RT and X9 signals are on, the third stall prevention function is selected.
4. When the RT (X9) signal is on, the second (third) functions such as second (third) acceleration/
deceleration time are also selected.
5. When terminal assignment is changed using Pr. 180 to Pr. 186, the other functions may be
affected. Check the functions of the corresponding terminals before making setting.
CAUTION
Do not set a too small value to the second (third) stall prevention operation current.
Otherwise, torque generated will decrease.

9999 Acceleration time at a restart is determined by the Pr. 7, Pr. 44 or Pr. 110 setting.
Note: 1. When restart operation is selected, UVT and IPF among the alarm output signals are not output
at occurrence of an instantaneous power failure.
2. If the inverter capacity is more than one rank higher than the motor capacity when Pr.162 = "0" (with
speed search), an overcurrent (OCT) alarm may take place, disabling the motor from starting.
3. When Pr. 57 ≠ 9999, the inverter will not run if the CS signal remain off.
4. When Pr. 162 = "0", connection of two or more motors to one inverter will make the inverter
function improperly. (The inverter will not start properly.)
5. When Pr. 162 = "0", the DC injection brake is operated instantly on detection of restarting speed.
Therefore, if the moment of inertia (J) of the load is small, the speed may reduce.
6. When Pr. 162 = "1", the output frequency before an instantaneous power failure is stored and 4
output at the time of restart. If the power of the inverter control circuit is lost, the frequency before
an instantaneous power failure cannot be stored and the inverter will start at 0Hz.
7. The SU and FU signals are not output during restart but are output after the restart cushion time
has elapsed.
8. Changing the Pr. 21 "acceleration/deceleration time increments" setting will not change the Pr.
611 setting increments.
9. The speed also increases according to the Pr. 611 setting after frequency search at the retry time
by the retry function. Refer to page 101 for retry function.
10.Note that when copying parameters to the inverter without this function, copying Pr. 611 = "9999"
greatly increases acceleration time to 6553.5s.
If accidentaly copied, set parameters again in the following procedure.
1) Pr. 77 = "0" →"801"
2) Pr. 611 = "6553.5" → "5"
3) Pr. 77 = "801" → "0"
CAUTION
Provide mechanical interlocks for MC1 and MC2.
The inverter will be damaged if power is entered into the inverter output section.
When automatic restart after instantaneous power failure has been selected, the motor
and machine will start suddenly (after the reset time has elapsed) after occurrence of
an instantaneous power failure. Stay away from the motor and machine.
When you have selected automatic restart after instantaneous power failure, apply the
supplied CAUTION seals in easily visible places.

RH, RM and RL are changed to acceleration (RH), deceleration (RM) and clear (RL).
* Frequency setting storage function
The remote setting frequency (frequency set by RH, RM operation) is stored into memory. When power is
switched off once, then on again, operation is resumed at this setting of the output frequency. (Pr. 59=1)
<Frequency setting storage condition>
• The frequency at which the start signal (STF or STR) turns off is stored.
• The remotely-set frequency is stored every one minute after one minute has elapsed since turn off (on) of
both the RH (acceleration) and RM (deceleration) signals. (The frequency is written if the present
frequency value compared with the past frequency value every one minute is different.) (The state of the
RL signal does not affect writing. )
96

PARAMETERS
Note: 1. The frequency can be varied by RH (acceleration) and RM (deceleration) between 0 and the
maximum frequency (Pr. 1 or Pr. 18 setting).
2. When the acceleration or deceleration signal switches on, the set frequency varies according to
the slope set in Pr. 44 or Pr. 45. The output frequency acceleration/deceleration times are as set
in Pr. 7 and Pr. 8, respectively. Therefore, the longer preset times are used to vary the actual
output frequency.
3. If the start signal (STF or STR) is off, switching on the acceleration (RH) or deceleration (RM)
signal varies the set frequency.
4. When making frequent on/off of the start signal and frequency changes by the RH and RM
signals, set the frequency setting storage signal (write setting values into the E2PROM) invalid
(Pr. 59 = "2").
When the signal is set valid (Pr. 59 = "1"), frequent writing of frequencies into the E2PROM will
shorten the life of the E2PROM.
REMARKS
This function is invalid during jog operation and PID control operation.
When the set frequency is 0
• Even when the remotely-set frequency is cleared by turning on the RL (clear) signal after turn off (on) of
both the RH and RM signals, the inverter operates at the remotely-set frequency stored in the last

selection) signal during an inverter stop starts ordinary operation, with priority given to jog operation or
second function selection. After a start in the intelligent operation mode, neither the JOG signal nor the RT
signal is accepted.

PARAMETERS
Note: 1. When more accurate control is required for your application, set the other parameters as
appropriate.
2. Because of the learning system, this control is not valid at the first time in the optimum
acceleration/deceleration mode. Also, this mode is only valid for frequency setting of 30.01Hz or
more.
3. When the advanced magnetic flux vector control has been selected using Pr. 80 and Pr. 81, the
settings of the energy-saving mode and elevator mode are ignored. (Advanced magnetic flux
vector control has higher priority.)
4. If an overvoltage (OV3) trip has occurred during operation in the optimum acceleration/
deceleration mode (setting "3"), re-set Pr. 8 "deceleration time" to a larger value and restart
operation in this mode.
5. When the "energy-saving mode" (setting "4") is used to decelerate the motor to a stop, the
deceleration time may be longer than the preset value. Also, overvoltage is more likely to occur in
this mode as compared to the constant-torque load characteristics, therefore set the deceleration
time to a larger value.

• Use Pr. 68 to set the waiting time from when an inverter alarm occurs until a restart in the range 0 to 10s.
• Reading the Pr. 69 value provides the cumulative number of successful restart times made by retry. The
setting of "0" erases the cumulative number of times.
Note: 1. The cumulative number in Pr. 69 is incremented by "1" when retry operation is regarded as
successful, i.e. when normal operation is continued without any alarm occurring during a period
more than four times longer than the time set in Pr. 68.
2. If alarms occur consecutively within a period four times longer than the above waiting time, the
operation panel (FR-DU04) may show data different from the most recent data or the parameter
unit (FR-PU04) may show data different from the first retry data. The data stored as the error
reset for retry is only that of the alarm which occurred the first time.
3. When an inverter alarm is reset at the restart time, the stored data of the electronic overcurrent
protection, regeneration converter duty, etc. are not cleared. (Different from the power-on reset.)
CAUTION
When you have selected the retry function, stay away from the motor and machine
unless required. They will start suddenly (after the reset time has elapsed) after
occurrence of an alarm.
When you have selected the retry function, apply the supplied CAUTION seals in

The other way of making a restart other than the above method is to perform a power-reset or to make a

Note: 1. By entering the reset signal (RES) during operation, the inverter shuts off output while it is reset,
the data of the electronic overcurrent protection and regenerative brake duty are reset, and the
motor coasts.
2. The PU disconnection detection function judges that the PU connector is disconnected when it is
removed from the inverter for more than 1s. If the PU had been disconnected before power-on, it
is not judged as an alarm.
3. To resume operation, reset the inverter after confirming that the PU is connected securely.
4. If the PU is disconnected during PU-jog operation when Pr. 75="0, 1, 14,15" (continued operation
even if the PU is disconnected), the motor decelerates to a stop.
5. When PU disconnection detection is set and the PU is then disconnected during PU jog
operation, the motor decelerates to a stop. The motor will not stop if a PU disconnection alarm
occurs.
6. The Pr. 75 value can be set any time. Also, if parameter (all) clear is executed, this setting will not
return to the initial value.
7. When the motor is stopped by the PU stop function, PS is displayed but an alarm is not output.
When the PU connector is used for RS-485 communication operation, the reset selection and PU
stop selection functions are valid but the PU disconnection detection function is invalid.
8. The reset key of the PU is only valid when the protective function is activated, independent of the
Pr. 75 setting.
CAUTION
Do not reset the inverter with the start signal on.
Otherwise, the motor will start instantly after resetting, which may lead to hazardous
conditions.

(1) Programmed operation
With this function, you can set 10 different operation starting times, rotation directions and running frequencies
individually for each of selected three groups to perform automatic operation under the control of the internal elapsed
time counting timer. For more detailed information of this function, refer to the explanations of Pr. 200 to Pr. 231.

(3) PU operation interlock

When the PU operation interlock signal is switched off, the operation mode is forcibly changed to external
operation mode. This function prevents the inverter from being inoperative by the external command if the
mode is accidentally left unswitched from the PU operation mode.
1) Preparation
•Set "7" (PU operation interlock) in Pr. 79.
•Using any of Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 (input terminal function selection), allocate the terminal used to input X12
(PU external interlock signal).
Refer to page 155 for Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 (input terminal function selection).
•When the X12 signal is not assigned, the function of the MRS signal changes from MRS (output stop) to
PU external interlock.
Note: When terminal assignment is changed using Pr. 180 to Pr. 186, the other functions may be affected.

Note: 1. When the Pr. 79 setting is 7 and the PU operation interlock signal is OFF, network operation such
as computer link cannot be used.
2. If the X12 (MRS) signal is on, the operation mode cannot be switched to the PU operation mode
when the start signal (STF, STR) is on.
3. The operation mode switches to the external operation mode independently of whether the start
signal (STF, STR) is on or off. Therefore, the motor is run in external operation mode when the
X12 (MRS) signal is switched off with either of STF and STR on.
4. When an alarm occurs, the inverter can be reset by pressing the STOP
RESET key of the operation
panel.
5. When the MRS signal is used as the PU interlock signal, switching the MRS signal on and
rewriting the Pr. 79 value to other than 7 in the PU operation mode causes the MRS signal to
provide the ordinary MRS function (output stop). Also, as soon as 7 is set in Pr. 79, the MRS 4
signal acts as a PU interlock signal.
6. When the MRS signal is used as the PU external interlock signal, the signal logic conforms to the
Pr. 17 setting. When Pr. 17 = 2, read ON for OFF and OFF for ON in the above explanation.
(4) Operation mode external signal switching function

1) Preparation
Set "8" (switching to other than external operation mode) in Pr. 79. Using any of Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 (input
terminal function selection), allocate the terminal used to input the X16 (PU-external operation switching)
signal.
Refer to page 155 for Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 (input terminal function selection).
Note: When terminal assignment is changed using Pr. 180 to Pr. 186, the other functions may be affected.
2) Function
When the X16 signal is switched on in the PU operation mode, the operation mode is forcibly changed to
the external operation mode. When the X16 signal is switched off in external operation mode, the
operation mode is changed to the PU operation mode. When the X16 signal is switched off during network
operation such as computer link, the operation mode is changed to the PU operation mode as soon as the
switchover command to the external operation mode is sent from the computer. Note that this switchover
may only be made while the inverter is at a stop and cannot be made during operation.

PARAMETERS
Note: 1. Speed fluctuation is slightly greater than in the V/F control. (Advanced magnetic flux vector
control may not be suitable for machines which attach importance to little speed fluctuation at low
speed, e.g. grinders, lapping machines.)
2. When the surge voltage suppression filter (FR-ASF-H) is used between the inverter and motor,
output torque may reduce.
3. When the terminal functions are changed using Pr. 180 to Pr. 186, the other functions may be
affected. Confirm the functions of the corresponding terminals before making setting.
For adjustment of motor speed fluctuation due to load variation

Pr. 89 can be used to adjust motor speed fluctuation when the load varies. (When you have changed the
conventional model FR-A200E series for the FR-A500 series, advanced magnetic flux vector control is
effective when motor speed does not match.)

What is auto tuning?

(1) In the magnetic flux vector control system, the motor performance is unleashed to perform operation.
(2) Using the auto tuning function improves the operational performance of the motor.
(3) There are two ways of auto tuning: offline auto tuning and online auto tuning (Refer to page 123.).
(4) There are two ways of offline auto tuning: motor-unrotated method and motor-rotated method.
(5) Speed characteristic accuracy
Online>>offline (rotated)>offline (unrotated)>>no tuning
115

PARAMETERS
When you use the advanced magnetic flux vector control, you can perform the offline auto tuning operation
to calculate motor constants automatically.
Offline auto tuning is made valid only when values other than "9999" are set in Pr. 80 and Pr. 81 to select
the advanced magnetic flux vector control.
The online tuning data (motor constants) can be copied to another inverter with the PU (FR-DU04/FR-
PU04).
If the motor used is not the Mitsubishi standard motor (SF-JR 0.4kW (1/2HP) or more) or Mitsubishi
constant-torque motor (SF-JRCA 200V class 4 poles, 0.4kW (1/2HP) to 55kW (75HP)) (e.g. other
manufacturer’s motor, SF-JRC) or if the wiring distance is long, you can use the offline auto tuning to run
the motor with the optimum operation characteristics.
Offline auto tuning
Automatically measures the motor constants used for advanced magnetic flux vector control.
•Offline auto tuning can be performed with the load connected. (As the load is smaller, tuning accuracy is
higher. Tuning accuracy does not change if inertia is large.)
•For the offline auto tuning, you can select either the motor non-rotation mode or rotation mode.
Note that when making selection for the online auto tuning, the motor-only rotation mode should be
selected.
•You can read, write and copy the motor constants tuned by the offline auto tuning.
•The offline auto tuning status can be monitored with the PU (FR-DU04/FR-PU04).

PARAMETERS
• The motor is connected.
• The motor capacity is equal to or one rank lower than the inverter capacity. (0.4kW or more)
• The maximum frequency is 120Hz.
• Special motors such as high-slip motor and high-speed motor cannot be tuned.
• When "101" (offline auto tuning with motor running) is set in Pr. 96, note the following:
1) Torque may not be enough during tuning.
2) The motor may be run at nearly its rated frequency (Pr. 84 setting) without problem.
3) The brake is open.
4) No external force is applied to rotate the motor.
• If "1" (tuning without motor running) is set in Pr. 96, the motor may run slightly. Therefore, fix the motor
securely with a mechanical brake, or before tuning, make sure that there will be no problem in safety if the
motor runs.
This instruction must be followed especially for vertical lift applications.
Note that if the motor runs slightly, tuning performance is unaffected.
Note: Offline auto tuning will not be performed properly if it is performed when the reactor or surge voltage
suppression filter (FR-ASF-H) is connected between the inverter and motor.
Remove it before starting tuning.

• For PU operation, press the FWD or REV key.
• For external operation, switch on the run command.
Note: 1. When "101" is set in Pr. 96, guard against hazards because the motor rotates.
2. To force tuning to end
• Switch on the MRS or RES signal or press the STOP
RESET key to end.
• Switch off the tuning start command or make a forced stop.
3. During offline auto tuning, the following I/O signals are only valid:
• Input signals
STOP, OH, MRS, RT, CS, RES, STF, STR
• Output signals

4. Special caution should be exercised when a sequence has been designed to open the
mechanical brake with the RUN signal.
5. When executing offline auto tuning, give the run command after switching on the main circuit
power supply (R, S, T <L1, L2, L3>) of the inverter.

PARAMETERS
5) When tuning was ended focibly.
A forced end occurs when tuning is forced to end by pressing the STOP
RESET key or turning off the start
signal (STF or STR) during tuning.
In this case, offline auto tuning was not brought to a normal end. (The motor constants are not yet set.)
Reset the inverter and restart tuning.
Note: 1. The motor constants measured once in the offline auto tuning are stored as parameters and their
data is held until the offline auto tuning is performed again.
2. An instantaneous power failure occurring during tuning will result in a tuning error. After power is
restored, the inverter goes into the ordinary operation mode. Therefore, when STF (STR) is on,
the motor runs in forward (reverse) rotation.
3. When "8888" is set in Pr. 11, the tuning is forced to end and the DC injection brake is started
upon input of the MRS signal.
4. Any alarm occurring during tuning is handled as in the ordinary mode.
Note that if an error retry has been set, retry is ignored.
5. The set frequency monitor displayed during the offline auto tuning is 0Hz.
CAUTION
Note that the motor may start running suddenly.
When the offline auto tuning is used in vertical lift application, e.g. a lifter, it may drop
due to insufficient torque.
<Setting the motor constants as desired>

The motor constants (Pr. 90 to Pr. 94) may be set as desired in either of two ways; the data measured
in the offline auto tuning is read and utilized or changed, or the motor constants are set without the
offline auto tuning data being used.
To utilize or change the offline auto tuning data

<Operating procedure>
1. Set any of the following values in Pr. 71:
• Standard motor ................................................................................. Pr. 71 = "4"
• Constant-torque motor...................................................................... Pr. 71 = "14"
• Mitsubishi standard motor SF-JR 4 poles (1.5kW (2HP) or less) Pr. 71 = "24"
2. Set "801" in Pr. 77.
(Only when the Pr. 80 and Pr. 81 settings are other than "9999", the parameter values of the motor
exciting current (Pr. 82) and motor constants (Pr. 90 to Pr. 94) can be displayed. Though the
parameter values of other than Pr. 82 and Pr. 90 to Pr. 94 can be displayed, they are parameters for

Note: 1. Pr. 82 and Pr. 90 to Pr. 94 values may only be read when the Pr. 80 and Pr. 81 settings are other
than "9999" (advanced magnetic flux vector control selected).
2. Set "9999" in Pr. 90 to Pr. 94 to use the standard motor constants (including those for the
constant-torque motor).
3. Set "3" (standard motor), "13" (constant-torque motor) or "23" (Mitsubishi standard motor SF-JR
4P (1.5kW (2HP) or less)) in Pr. 71 to use the constants measured in the offline auto tuning. Set
"4, 14 or 24" in Pr. 71 and change the motor constants to change the values measured in the
offline auto tuning.
4. As the motor constants measured in the offline auto tuning have been converted into internal data
(****), refer to the following setting example when making setting:
Setting example: To slightly increase Pr. 90 value
When Pr. 90 is displayed "2516", set 2642, i.e. 2516 × 1.05=2641.8, in Pr. 90.
(The value displayed has been converted into a value for internal use. Hence, simple addition of
a given value to the displayed value has no significance.).
To set the motor constants without using the offline auto tuning data
The Pr. 92 and Pr. 93 motor constants may either be entered in [Ω] or in [mH]. Before starting operation,
confirm which motor constant unit is used.

By online auto tuning, the motor conditions are tuned rapidly at the start. This enables precise operation
unaffected by motor temperatures and steady high-torque operation down to super-low speed. After setting
the Pr. 80 and Pr. 81 values, select online auto tuning with Pr. 95.
Online auto tuning
Use this function when steady high-torque operation is required for low-speed operation under advanced
magnetic flux vector control.
• Before starting the online auto tuning, perform the offline auto tuning. Data must be calculated.

• Data required for online auto tuning is calculated in offline auto tuning. Before starting the operation of
this function, always execute the offline auto tuning once more. The offline auto tuning is also required
for use of the Mitsubishi standard motor (SF-JR) or constant-torque motor (SF-JRCA).
• Offline auto tuning should be carried out with "101" (motor running) set in Pr. 96 and with the motor
disconnected from the load. (The motor may be connected with inertia load.)

PARAMETERS
4) Give the run command in the PU or external operation mode.
Note: 1. If any of the inverter starting conditions are not satisfied, e.g. when MRS is input, if the set
frequency is lower than the starting frequency (Pr. 13) value, or during an inverter error, the
online auto tuning is not activated.
2. For a restart during deceleration or DC injection brake operation, the online auto tuning is not
activated.
3. The online auto tuning is invalid for programmed operation or jog operation.
4. When automatic restart after instantaneous power failure is selected, it overrides the online
auto tuning.
5. For use in vertical lift application, examine the use of a brake sequence for brake opening
timing at the start. Though the tuning ends in about a maximum of 500ms after a start, enough
torque is not provided during that period. Therefore, note that the load may drop with gravity.
6. Zero current detection and output current detection are also valid during the online auto
tuning.
7. The RUN signal is not output during the online auto tuning. The RUN signal switches on at a
start.
8. When programmed operation is selected (Pr. 79 = 5), the online auto tuning is invalid and is
not executed.
9. If the period between inverter stop and restart is within 4s, the online auto tuning is executed
but operation will not reflect the tuning results.

7) Break in the cable detection
• If disconnection (communication stop) is detected between the inverter and computer as a result of
disconnection check, a communication error (E.PUE) occurs and the inverter output is shut off.
• Disconnection check is made when the setting is any of "0.1s" to "999.8s".To make disconnection check, it
is necessary to send data (control code refer to page 129) from the computer within the communication
check time interval. (The send data has nothing to do with the station number)
• Communication check is started at the first communication in the operation mode having the operation
source (PU operation mode in the default setting).
• When the setting is "9999", communication check (disconnection detection) is not made.
• When the setting is "0", communication from the PU connector cannot be performed.

PARAMETERS
(5) Instructions for the program
1) When the data from the computer has an error, the inverter will not accept that data. Hence, in the user
program, always insert a retry programs for date error.
2) Since any data communication, such as operation command or monitoring, is always requested by the
computer, the inverter will not return data without the computer's request. Hence, design the program so
that the computer gives a data read request for monitoring, etc. as required.

CAUTION
When the inverter's communication check time interval is not set, interlocks are
provided to disable operation to prevent hazard. Always set the communication check
time interval before starting operation.
Data communication is not started automatically but is made only when the computer
provides a communication request. If communication is disabled during operation due
to signal cable breakage etc, the inverter cannot be stopped. When the
communication check time interval has elapsed, the inverter will come to an alarm
stop (E.PUE).
The inverter can be coasted to a stop by switching on its RES signal or by switching
power off.
If communication is halted due to signal cable breakage, computer fault etc., the
inverter does not detect such a fault. This should be fully noted.

1. Apply the input voltage of 0% set point setting (e.g. 0V) to across terminals 2-5.
2. Make calibration using Pr. 902. At this time, enter the frequency (e.g. 0Hz) which should be output by the
inverter at the deviation of 0%.
3. Apply the voltage of 100% set point setting (e.g. 5V) to across terminals 2-5.
4. Make calibration using Pr. 903. At this time, enter the frequency (e.g. 60Hz) which should be output by the
inverter at the deviation of 100%.
<Detector output calibration>

1. Apply the output current of 0% detector setting (e.g. 4mA) to across terminals 4-5.
2. Make calibration using Pr. 904.
3. Apply the output current of 100% detector setting (e.g. 20mA) to across terminals 4-5.
4. Make calibration using Pr. 905.
Note: The frequencies set in Pr. 904 and Pr. 905 should be the same as set in Pr. 902 and Pr. 903.

When the inverter's output current falls to "0", torque will not be generated. This may cause a drop due to
gravity when the inverter is used in vertical lift application.
To prevent this, the output current "zero" signal can be output from the inverter to close the mechanical brake
when the output current has fallen to "zero".
If the output current remains lower than the Pr. 152 setting during inverter operation for longer than the time
set in Pr. 153, the zero current detection (Y13) signal is output from the inverter's open collector output

CAUTION
The zero current detection level setting should not be too high, and the zero current

(Alarm stop display "E.OLT")
2. If the load is heavy, the lift is predetermined, or the acceleration/deceleration time is short, the
stall prevention may be activated and the motor not stopped in the preset acceleration/
deceleration time. Therefore, set optimum values to the Pr. 156 stall prevention operation level.
(When the output voltage reduces during stall prevention operation, an overcurrent trip will be
less liable to occur but the torque decreases. Set "0" in Pr. 154 when the torque may be
reduced.)
3. In vertical lift applications, make setting so the fast-response current limit is not cativated. Torque
may not be produced, causing a drop due to gravity.
4. At the setting of "101", the fast-response current limit can be disabled in the driving mode as
compared to the setting of "100".
CAUTION
Always perform test operation.
Stall prevention operation performed during acceleration may increase the
acceleration time. Stall prevention operation performed during constant speed may
cause sudden speed changes.
Stall prevention operation performed during deceleration may increase the
deceleration time, increasing the deceleration distance.

PARAMETERS
Note: 1. One function can be assigned to two or more terminals. In this case, the terminal inputs are
OR’ed.
2. The speed command priorities are higher in order of jog, multi-speed setting (RH, RM, RL) and
AU.
3. When the X10 signal (inverter operation enable signal for FR-HC, FR-CV connection) is not set,
the MRS signal shares this function.
4. Use common terminals to assign the programmed operation group selection, multi-speeds (7
speeds) and remote setting. They cannot be set individually.
(Common terminals are used since these functions are designed for speed setting and need not
be set at the same time.)
5. Stop-on-contact control selection, Pr. 270 = "1 or 3", shares RT with multi-speed setting (low
speed), and its allocation cannot be changed.
6. When "7" is set in Pr. 79 and the PU operation external interlock (X12) signal is not assigned, the
MRS signal acts as this function.
7. When advanced magnetic flux vector-V/F switch-over (x18) signal and load pattern selection
forward/reverse rotation boost (X17) signal are not assigned, the RT signal shares this functions.
(in case Pr. 81 "number of motor poles" = "12, 14 or 16"). In this case, V/F control becomes
secondary function control.
8. When a stop position is entered externally for orientation control, the FR-A5AX (12-bit digital

Note: 1. Under encoder feedback control (when the FR-A5AP option is fitted), the operations of the up-to-frequency
SU and frequency detection FU, FU2, FU3 are as follows:SU, FU: The actual speed (frequency) provided
by the encoder feedback signal is output at or above the frequency specified for detection.
FU2, FU3: The inverter output frequency is output at or above the frequency specified for detection.
2. When the frequency setting is varied with the analog signal or the key of the operation panel,
note that the output of the SU (up-to-frequency) signal may alternate between ON and OFF due to that
varying speed and the timing of the varying speed dependent on the acceleration/deceleration time setting.
(Such alternation will not take place when the acceleration/deceleration time setting is "0s".)
3. This signal is output when "5" is set in Pr. 79 "operation mode selection" and the external operation mode is
selected (the inverter goes into the programmed mode).
4. The same function may be set to more than one terminal.
5. When the function is activated, the terminal conducts with the settings of 0 to 99 and does not
conduct with the settings of 100 to 199.
6. Pr. 190 to Pr. 195 do not function if the values set are other than the above.
7. When Pr. 76 = 1 or 3, the output signals of the SU, IPF, OL and FU output terminals conform to Pr. 76.
When an inverter alarm occurs, the signal outputs are switched over to alarm code outputs.
8. The output assignment of the RUN terminal and alarm output relay conforms to the above setting
independently of Pr. 76.
9. When making a power-on reset, the alarm output 2 signal "Y94" is turned off as soon as power is turned
off.
10. The alarm output 2 signal "Y94" can not be assigned to the extended assignment terminal of the option unit
(FR-A5AY, FR-A5AR, FR-A5NR).
11. When parameters are copied to the inverter without this signal, the changed settings of output terminal
function selection parameters (Pr. 190 to Pr. 195) become "9999 (no function)"

Among the parameters, you can set user-only parameter initial values. These values may be set to 16
parameters.
By performing user clear operation from the operation panel or parameter unit, you can initialize the
parameters to the user-set initial values. Note that the parameters of which initial values have not been set
are initialized to the factory settings by user clear operation.
You can read the user's initial value list in the help mode of the parameter unit (FR-PU04).

The parameter setting screen is then displayed.
5) Select Pr. 7 and Pr. 8 with the key and

press the SET key for 1.5s to enter.
6) Through the above steps, the initial values of Pr. 7 and

Pr. 8 are registered.
The settings of the parameters whose numbers are set in Pr. 199 (i.e. Pr. 7 = 1, Pr. 8 = 2 in the above
example) are user's initial values.
(2) Deletion of user's initial values

By writing "9999" to Pr. 199 (and pressing the SET key for 1.5s), the user's initial values registered are
batch-deleted.
Note: 1. When user's initial values for Pr. 902 to Pr. 905 are set, one parameter uses the area of two
parameters for registration.
2. As this setting is concerned with user-cleared initial values, the parameter numbers which cannot
be cleared cannot be set.

PARAMETERS
<Setting>
(1) Set the time unit for programmed operation in Pr. 200. Select either of "minute/second" and "hour/
minute".
Setting Description
0 Minute/second unit (voltage monitor)
1 Hour/minute unit (voltage monitor)
2 Minute/second unit (reference time of day monitor)
3 Hour/minute unit (reference time of day monitor)
Note: 1. When "2" or "3" is set in Pr. 200, the reference time-of-day monitor screen is displayed
instead of the voltage monitor screen.
2. Note that when the Pr. 200 setting is changed, the units for Pr. 201 to Pr. 231 setting will
change.
(2) The inverter has an internal timer (RAM). When the reference time of day is set in Pr. 231, programmed
operation is started at this time of day.
1) Setting range
The time unit depends on the Pr. 200 setting.
Pr. 200 Setting Pr. 231 Setting Range Pr. 200 Setting Pr. 231 Setting Range
0 Maximum 99 minutes 59 s 2 Maximum 99 minutes 59 s
1 Maximum 99 hours 59 minutes 3 Maximum 99 hours 59 minutes
Note: The reference time-of-day timer returns to "0" when both the start signal and group select
signal are entered. Set the reference time of day in Pr. 231 when both signals are on.
2) Resetting the reference time of day

The reference time of day is cleared by switching on the timer reset signal (STR) or by resetting the
inverter. Note that the reference time-of-day value set in Pr. 231 is also reset to "0".
(3) Program setting

The rotation direction, running frequency and start time of day are defined as one point and every 10

(6) Operation
1) Ordinary operation
After completion of all preparations and settings, turn on the desired group select signal (any of RH
(group 1), RM (group 2) and RL (group 3)), then turn on the start signal (STF). This causes the internal
timer (reference time of day) to be reset automatically and the operation of that group to be performed
in sequence in accordance with the settings. When the operation of the group ends, a signal is output
from the time-out output terminal. (The open collector signal of SU is turned on.)
Note: Use the programmed operation function with "5" set in Pr. 79. Programmed operation will not be
performed if any of the group select signals is switched on during PU operation or data link
operation.

2) Multi-group select operation

When two or more groups are selected at the same time, the operations of the selected groups are
executed in sequence of group 1, group 2 and group 3.
For example, if group 1 and group 2 have been selected, the operation of group 1 is first carried out,
and after that operation ends, the reference time of day is reset, the operation of group 2 is started, and
the time-out signal (SU) is output after the operation of group 2 ends.

Note: 1. If the inverter power is switched off, then on (including an instantaneous power failure) during the
execution of the programmed operation, the internal timer is reset and the inverter does not
restart if the power is restored.
To resume the operation, turn the programmed operation start signal (STF) off, then on. (At this
time, when it is required to set the reference time of day, switch the start signal on before setting.)
2. When the inverter is wired for programmed operation specifications, the following signals are
invalid:AU, STOP, 2, 4, 1, JOG
3. During programmed operation, the inverter cannot be operated in any other mode. When the
programmed operation start signal (STF) and timer reset signal (STR) are on, the operation mode
cannot be switched between PU operation and external operation.).

261 When undervoltage or power failure occurs, the inverter output is shut off.
1 When undervoltage or power failure occurs, the inverter is decelerated to a stop.
Normally, operation can be performed with the factory setting unchanged. The frequency can
262 0 to 20Hz be adjusted within the range 0 to 20Hz according to the load specifications (moment of inertia,
torque).
If the output frequency at occurrence of undervoltage or power failure is equal to or greater
than the frequency set in Pr. 263, deceleration starts at the value found by subtracting the
0 to 120Hz frequency set in Pr. 262 from the output frequency at that time. If the output frequency at
263 occurrence of undervoltage or power failure is less than the frequency set in Pr. 263, the
inverter is decelerated to a stop, starting at the output frequency at that time.
The inverter is decelerated to a stop, starting at the value found by subtracting the frequency

Note: 1. This function is invalid when the automatic restart after instantaneous power failure function is
set.
2. If (output frequency at occurrence of undervoltage or power failure) minus (frequency set in Pr.

3. The power failure stop function is not activated during a stop or error.
4. If power is restored during deceleration, the inverter is kept decelerating to a stop.
To restart, switch off the start signal once, then switch it on again.
5. When the high power factor converter is used (Pr. 30 = 2), this function is made invalid
CAUTION
If power-failure deceleration operation is set, some loads may cause the inverter to
trip and the motor to coast. If enough regenerative energy is not given by the motor,
the motor will coast.

To ensure accurate positioning at the upper limit, etc. of a lift, stop-on-contact control causes a mechanical
brake to be closed while the motor is developing a holding torque to keep the load in contact with a
mechanical stopper, etc.
This function suppresses vibration which is liable to occur when the load is stopped upon contact in vertical
motion applications, ensuring steady precise positioning.
Load torque high-speed frequency control automatically sets the maximum operating frequency according to
the load.
Specifically, the weight of the load is determined after a start by the average current at a given time; when
the load is light, the preset frequency can be increased for operation.
When the load is light, speed can be automatically increased in a sky parking lot, for example, to reduce
incoming and outgoing times.
Using Pr. 270, select stop-on-contact control and/or high-speed frequency control (control which
automatically switches between high- and middle-speed operations according to load torque).
•When stop-on-contact control is selected, select advanced magnetic flux vector control. For function
details, refer to Pr. 275 and Pr. 276.
•For function details of load torque high-speed frequency control, refer to Pr. 271 to Pr. 274.

<Operation example>
At start: When the start signal is input to the inverter, the inverter starts running. When the output
frequency reaches the value set in Pr. 278 and the output current is not less than the value set
in Pr. 279, the inverter outputs the brake opening request signal (BOF) after the time set in Pr.
280 has elapsed.
When the time set in Pr. 281 elapses after the brake opening completion signal (BRI) was
activated, the inverter increases the output frequency to the set speed.
At stop: When the speed has decreased to the frequency set in Pr. 282, the brake opening request
signal (BOF) is switched off. When the time set in Pr. 283 elapses after the brake operation

The life of electrolytic capacitor is about ten years (87600 hours) in the average yearly ambient temperature
of 40°C. (Note 2)
The life of electrolytic capacitor decreases to half if the ambient temperature increases by 10°C and doubles
if decreases by 10°C. Please note this as reference when setting the time.
For example, when the average yearly ambient temperature is 50°C, set "438" (43800 hours) in Pr. 504
Note: 1. For replacement of the capacitor, contact the nearest Mitsubishi FA center.
2. The estimated life time (87600 hours) of the capacitor differs according to the environmental

By using the operation panel/parameter unit, you can calibrate a meter connected to terminal FM to full
scale.
Terminal FM provides the pulse output. By setting Pr. 900, you can calibrate the meter connected to the
inverter from the parameter unit without providing a calibration resistor.
You can display a digital value on a digital counter using the pulse train signal from terminal FM. A 1440
pulse/s output is provided at the full scale value as explained in the section of Pr. 54. When the running
frequency has been selected for monitoring, the ratio of this FM terminal output frequency can be set in Pr.

allows the output voltage ratio (gain) to be adjusted according to the meter reading. Note that the maximum
output voltage is 10VDC.
(1) Calibration of terminal FM
1) Connect a meter (frequency meter) across inverter terminals FM-SD. (Note the polarity. FM is the
positive terminal.)
2) When a calibration resistor has already been connected, adjust the resistance to "0" or remove the
resistor.
3) Set any of "1 to 3, 5 to 14, 17, 18 and 21" in Pr. 54.
When the running frequency or inverter output current has been selected as the output signal, preset
in Pr. 55 or Pr. 56 the running frequency or current at which the output signal is 1440 pulse/s.
At this 1440 pulse/s, the meter normally deflects to full scale.
4) When outputting the item that cannot achieve a 100% value easily by operation, e.g. output current,
set "21" (reference output voltage) in Pr. 54 and perform the following operarion. After that, set "2"
(output current, for example) in Pr. 54.
(2) Calibration of terminal AM
1) Connect a 0-10VDC meter (frequency meter) across inverter terminals AM-5. (Note the polarity. AM is
the positive terminal.)
2) Set any of "1 to 3, 5 to 14, 17, 18 and 21" in Pr. 158.
When the running frequency or inverter output current has been selected as the output signal, preset
in Pr. 55 or Pr. 56 the running frequency or current at which the output signal is 10V.
3) When outputting a signal which cannot achieve a 100% value easily by operation, e.g. output current,
set "21" in Pr. 158 and perform the following operation. After that, set "2" (output current, for example)
in Pr. 158.

5.1 Errors (Alarms)
If any fault has occurred in the inverter, the corresponding protective function is activated and the error
(alarm) indication appears automatically on the PU display. When the protective function is activated, refer to
"5.2 Troubleshooting" and clear up the cause by taking proper action. If an alarm stop has occurred, the
inverter must be reset to restart it.
• When the protective function is activated, take the appropriate corrective action, then reset the inverter,
and resume operation.
• Resetting method
When the protective function is activated and the inverter has stopped its output, the inverter output is kept
stopped (and the motor is coasted to a stop). Unless reset, therefore, the inverter cannot restart. To reset,
use any of the following methods: switch power off once, then on again; short reset terminal RES-SD for
more than 0.1s, then open; or press the STOP
RESET key of the operation panel or parameter unit (use the
help function of the parameter unit). If RES-SD are kept shorted, the operation panel shows "Err." and the
parameter unit indicates that the inverter is being reset.

PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
6.1 Precautions for maintenance and inspection

The transistorized inverter is a static unit mainly consisting of semiconductor devices. Daily inspection must
be performed to prevent any fault from occurring due to adverse influence by the operating environment,
such as temperature, humidity, dust, dirt and vibration, changes in the parts with time, service life, and other
factors.
6.1.1 Precautions for maintenance and inspection

For some short time after the power is switched off, a high voltage remains in the smoothing capacitor. When
accessing the inverter for inspection, switch power off. When more than 10 minutes have elapsed, make sure
that the voltage across the main circuit terminals P<+>-N<-> of the inverter is 30VDC or less using a tester,
etc.
6.1.2 Check items

(1) Daily inspections
• Check the following:
1)Motor operation fault
2)Improper installation environment
3)Cooling system fault
4)Unusual vibration and noise
5)Unusual overheating and discoloration
• During operation, check the inverter input voltages using a tester.
(2) Cleaning
Always run the inverter in a clean state.
When cleaning the inverter, gently wipe dirty areas with a soft cloth immersed in neutral detergent or ethanol.
Note: Do not use solvent, such as acetone, benzene, toluene and alcohol, as they will cause the inverter
surface paint to peel off.
Do not use detergent or alcohol to clean the display and other sections of the operation panel (FR-
DU04) or parameter unit (FR-PU04) as these sections may deform.
6.1.3 Periodic inspection

Check the areas inaccessible during operation and requiring periodic inspection. For periodic inspection,
consult us.
1) Cooling system fault : Clean the air filter, etc.
2) Tightening check and retightening : The screws and bolts may become loose due to vibration,
temperature changes, etc. Check and tighten them. Tighten
them according to the specified tightening torque.
3) Check the conductors and insulating materials for corrosion and damage.
4) Measure insulation resistance.
5) Check and replace the cooling fan and relay.
206

6.1.4 Insulation resistance test using megger

1) Before performing the insulation resistance test using a megger on the external circuit, disconnect the
cables from all terminals of the inverter so that the test voltage is not applied to the inverter.
2) For the continuity test of the control circuit, use a meter (high resistance range) and do not use the megger
or buzzer.
3) For the inverter, conduct the insulation resistance test on the main circuit only as shown below and do not
perform the test on the control circuit. (Use a 500VDC megger.)

Checking the inverter and converter modules
<Preparation>
(1) Disconnect the external power supply cables (R, S, T <L1, L2, L3>) and motor cables (U, V, W).
(2) Prepare a tester. (Use 100Ω range.)
<Checking method>
Change the polarity of the tester alternately at the inverter terminals R, S, T, U, V, W, P and N <L1, L2, L3, U,
V, W, + and ->, and check for continuity.
Note: 1. Before measurement, check that the smoothing capacitor is discharged.

2. At the time of discontinuity, due to the smothing capacitor, the tester may not indicate . At the
time of continuity, the measured value is several to several ten's-of ohms depending on the
module type, circuit tester type, etc. If all measured values are almost the same, the modules are
without fault.

6.1.7 Replacement of parts

The inverter consists of many electronic parts such as semiconductor devices.
The following parts may deteriorate with age because of their structures or physical characteristics, leading
to reduced performance or fault of the inverter. For preventive maintenance, the parts must be replaced
periodically.
The part replacement guidelines for the inverter are indicated in the following table. Lamps and other short-
life parts must also be changed during periodic inspection.
Replacement Parts of the Inverter
Part Name Standard Replacement Interval Description
Cooling fan 2 to 3 years Replace (as required)
Main circuit smoothing capacitor 8 years * Replace (as required)
On-board smoothing capacitor 8 years * Replace the board (as required)
Relays  Replace as required
* The life of electrolytic capacitor is about eight years (50000h) if used for 20 hours a day and 300 days a
year in the average yearly ambient temperature of 35°C (95°F).
Note: For part replacement, contact the nearest Mitsubishi FA center.
(1) Cooling fan

The cooling fan is used to cool heat-generating parts such as the main circuit semiconductors. The life of the
cooling fan bearing is usually 10,000 to 35,000 hours. Hence, the cooling fan must be replaced every 2 to 3
years if the inverter is run continuously. When unusual noise and/or vibration is noticed during inspection, the
cooling fan must be changed immediately.
Removal Fan cover

1)Push the hooks from above and remove the fan cover.
Fan
Fan connectors
2)Disconnect the fan connector(s).

3)Remove the fan.
Reinstallation
1)After confirming the orientation of the fan, reinstall the fan so that the
arrow on the left of "AIR FLOW" faces up. <Example: FR-A520-5.5K>
↑ AIR FLOW
<Fan side face>
2)Reconnect the fan connectors.

When wiring, use care to avoid the cables being caught by the fan.
3)Reinstall the fan cover.
210

(2) Smoothing capacitors

A large-capacity aluminum electrolytic capacitor is used for smoothing in the main circuit DC section, and an
aluminum electrolytic capacitor is also used for stabilizing the control power in the control circuit. Their
characteristics are deteriorated by the adverse effects of ripple currents, etc. The replacement intervals
greatly vary with the ambient temperature and operating conditions. When the inverter is operated in air-
conditioned, normal environment conditions, replace the capacitors about every 10 years.
The appearance criteria for inspection are as follows:
1) Case : the side and bottom faces for expansion
2) Sealing plate : check for remarkable warp and extreme crack
3) Explosion-proof valve : check for excessive valve expansion and operation
4) Check for external crack, discoloration, fluid leakage, etc. Judge that the capacitor has reached its life
when the measured capacitance of the capacitor reduced below 80% of the rating.
The capacitor life alarm is output to give an indication of replacement time. (Refer to page 182.)
(3) Relays
To prevent a contact fault, etc. relays must be replaced according to the cumulative number of switching
times (switching life).
6.1.8 Inverter replacement

The inverter can be replaced with the control circuit wiring kept connected. Before replacement, remove the
screws in the wiring cover of the inverter.
1) Remove the installation screws in both ends of the control circuit terminal block.
2) Pull down the terminal block from the back of the control circuit terminals.
3) When installing the terminal block to a new inverter, exercise care not to bend the pins of the control circuit
terminal block connector.

6.1.9 Measurement of main circuit voltages, currents and powers

Measurement of voltages and currents
Since the voltages and currents on the inverter power supply and output sides include harmonics,
measurement data depends on the instruments used and circuits measured.
When instruments for commercial frequency are used for measurement, measure the following circuits
with the instruments given on the next page.

The setting of "12, 22" chooses the network operation mode, which is mainly used for computer link
operation (when the FR-A5NR is connected).
*2 The values "10, 12" set in Pr.340 are valid only when Pr.79="0, 2, 6". (When Pr.79="7, 8", the inverter
operates in the same manner as when Pr.340="0". Therefore, the inverter will not operate in the network
operation mode at powering on.)
*3 Pr.340="20, 22" are valid only when Pr.79="0, 2, 8" (EC version only). (When Pr.79="6, 7", the inverter
operates in the same manner as when Pr.340="0" and will not operate in the network operation mode at
power on.)
*4 Pr.340="20, 22" are valid only when Pr.79="0, 2, 6, 8" (NA version only). (When Pr.79="7", the inverter
operates in the same manner as when Pr.340="0" and will not operate in the network operation mode at
power on.)
*5 When the X66 signal is not assigned to the input terminal, the inverter starts in the same operation mode
as when Pr. 340="0" for Pr.340="20" and Pr.340="2" for Pr.340="22".
Note: 1. Change of the Pr.340 setting is made valid when powering on or resetting the inverter.
2. When Pr.340="0, 1, 10, 20", computer programming, which has stopped due to an
instantaneuous power failure or the like during network operation, remains stopped even if power
is recovered. When a start command is given from the network with restart enabled (Pr. 57 ≠
"9999") when Pr.340="2, 12, 22", a start command during power off (including instantaneous
power failure and power failure) is stored. Therefore, the inverter resumes operation in the state
before powering off at powering on (power restoration) again.
3. When "10, 12, 20, 22" are copied to the inverter which is not available with "10, 12, 20, 22" for

Note: 1. When parameters are copied from the inverter without the above function, the Pr.349 setting
becomes "0" (error reset enabled).
2. When a communication line fault has occurred, reset cannot be made from the PLC.
3. The inverter is set to the external operation mode if it has been reset in the network operation
mode.
Therefore, to resume the network operation, the inverter must be switched to the network
operation mode again. (When any of "1, 2, 10, 12, 20, 22" is set in Pr.340 "link start up mode
selection", switching is not necessary.)
4. Communication stops for about 1s during inverter reset.

OPTIONS
Addition of the torque restriction function during acceleration and deceleration
(when using the FR-A5AP option)
For the former model inverter, the torque restriction level was same regardless of acceleration, deceleration
and constant speed. Now you can set torque restriction levels during acceleration and deceleration
individually.
REMARKS
This instruction manual supplement explains the new function of the FR-A5AP (option unit).For other functions, refer to the
instruction manual of the FR-A5AP (option unit).
• Explanation of function
When using vector control, you can set torque restriction levels during acceleration and deceleration
individually in Pr. 816 and Pr. 817. Set the torque restriction level during constant speed in Pr. 22 as
same as the former model.

*If the fault status returns to the normal communication status within the time set in Pr. 500, a communication
line fault (E, OP3) dose not occur.
REMARKS
1. A communication line fault [E.OP3 (alarm data: HA3)] is a fault that occurs on the communication line, and a fault of
the option itself [E. 3 (alarm data: HF3)] is a communication circuit fault in the communication option.
2. The alarm output is the ABC contact output or alarm bit output.
3. When the setting was made to provide an alarm output, the fault definition is stored into the alarm history. (The fault
definition is written to the alarm history when an alarm output is provided.) When no alarm output is provided, the fault
definition overwrites the alarm indication of the alarm history temporarily, but is not stored. After the fault is removed,
the alarm indication is reset and returns to the ordinary monitor, and the alarm history returns to the preceding alarm
indication.
4. When the Pr. 502 setting is 1 or 2, the deceleration time is the ordinary deceleration setting (e.g. Pr. 8, Pr. 44, Pr. 45,
Pr. 111).
5. The acceleration time at a restart is the ordinary acceleration setting (e.g. Pr. 7, Pr. 44, Pr. 110).
6. When the Pr. 502 setting is 2, the operation/speed command at a restart is the one given before the fault occurrence.
7. When a communication line fault occurs at the Pr. 502 setting of 2, removing the fault during deceleration causes
acceleration to restart at that point. (Acceleration is not restarted if the fault is that of the option itself.)

2) Measures at alarm occurrences

Alarm Indication Alarm Definition Measures
Check the LED states of the option unit and remove the
cause of the alarm. (Refer to the instruction manual of
E. OP3 Communication line alarm
each option unit for the LED indication status) Check the
master.
Check the connection between the inverter and option
E. 3 Option alarm unit for poor contact, etc. and remove the cause of the
alarm.
When alarms other than the above are displayed, refer to the inverter instruction manual and remove the
cause of the alarm.
(3) Inverter reset

Which resetting method is allowed or not allowed in each operation mode is described below.
Operation Mode
Resulting Method
Network operation External operation PU operation
Inverter reset
Allowed Disallowed Disallowed
Master (depend on the Pr. 75 setting)
Error reset at an inverter fault Refer to the instruction manual of each communication option.
Connect terminals RES-SD Allowed Allowed Allowed
Switch off inverter power Allowed Allowed Allowed
REMARKS
1. When a communication line fault has occurred, reset cannot be made from the master.
2. The inverter is set to the external operation mode if it has been reset in the network operation mode.To resume the
network operation, the operation mode must be switched to the network operation again. (When any of "1, 2, 10, 12" is
set in Pr. 340 "link startup mode selection", this switchover is not needed.)
3. Communication stops for about 1s during an inverter reset.

Appendix2 Operating the Inverter Using a Single-Phase
Power Supply
If a single-phase power supply is used to operate the inverter only 4 of the 6 of the diodes will be used.
Therefore the ripple current of the capacitor will increase when compared to operation from a three-phase
power supply, resulting in a higher temperature rise of the converter and the capacitor. Operating the inverter
using a single-phase power supply requies derating of the output current.

voltage may be set as desired below supply voltage.
(Note 2) The power supply capacity changes with the values of power supply side inverter impedance
• Cautions on operating the inverter using single-phase power supply

(1) Connect the single-phase power supply to the terminals R and S of the inverter.
(2) If the capacity of the power supply is insufficient, the output voltage will become unstable under
changing load conditions. Therefore, be certain the power supply is adequate.
<Example circuit>
NFB Inverter
R U Motor
Power supply
Single phase S V IM
AC200 - 220V 50Hz
AC200 - 240V 60Hz T W

SD Grounding
Note: Only the NA version A500 is UL listed for the above single-phase ratings.
The A500 inverter is not CE marked for single-phase operation. The A500 is not EMC compliant for
single-phase operation.
